Tron Ares is a frustrating movie. Visually and musically, it's fine. But Legacy has a solid story with a small but great cast of characters. I can't say that I care for anyone in Ares.
I don't have any desire to rewatch Ares ever again, unlike Legacy that I am always happy to watch.

I didn't spend a ton of time with it due to it being unlikely to get the game anytime soon, but the character creator in Nioh 3 is pretty good. Aethmal and Seralin both turned out nice without too much effort.

I wish I felt comfortable enough to try a Hetzner IPv6-only server. User support should be there mostly nowadays. But I still worry about the random people it might cut off.
Would probably get rid of a *a lot* of bot traffic to my servers though.

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once.”

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

I've had many gripes over the years about the inefficiencies of Element/Matrix. But maybe now sentiment to move away from US-based companies and tech, especially within the EU, might give it the push it needs.
I would love for my currently negative outlook on it to be turned around.

Lemix is done. I didn't get to do everything I wanted in it, but had fun regardless.
Can't wait to see the next remix event!

There are days where I wonder if falling back to a command-line-only computing life wouldn’t be preferable. Forces a more focused workflow, quieter, and if there’s something I really need that doesn’t exist, it forces me to build it.
Although I guess I’d just waste time in IRC instead of Discord…

I studied political science and criminology for nearly a decade. Even with the brilliant professors I had to helped me throughout my education, it's hard to use those teachings to make sense of the idiocy that the world has fallen into.

Even if my sleep has yet to quantitatively improve, I already feel a lot better now that I no longer work a graveyard schedule. Being awake during the day and able to go out and do things is wonderful.
I’ll miss some aspects of graveyard, but the mental and physical costs of it were just too much.

I sometimes wonder about a world where "AI" was properly focused on the niche tasks it excels at. Not as a first step towards AGI that is worth burning the world down over, or a destroyer of the arts, but an efficient tool for specific fields.
Altman and the rest really did the world a disservice.

This is incredible. Already gave it a test run and it works just as easy as it sounds in the blog. Once more browsers support this, I'm going to find a few uses for it on my own websites.

Blizzard, you're always finding ways to drag me back into the game. The paladin plays great! I'm having a lot more fun with it than I did the Crusader in Diablo 3.

First graduate quarter done. Feels good to get a couple of weeks for personal projects before having to jump back into the grind for next quarter.

Every year, I sit down to do Advent of Code and am reminded how much I dislike having to deal with input parsing every single day. I have finite time to dedicate to this, and spending anymore than 10 seconds in string manipulation and regex patterns is more time than I want to spend on it.

I find myself more out-of-step with the Swift community with each passing year. Every time I look at some new framework or template, it's just abstraction upon abstraction upon abstraction, and forgetting so many lessons I thought were understood.
I miss what Swift drove towards 3 versions ago.

I remember thinking it was cool that the game had no software renderer, as it was one of the early games to require a GPU. Those requirements really take me back though. 8 megs of VRAM is incredible by modern standards.
