Don't mind me, this page is where I word-vomit any and all errant thoughts that cross my brain in clipped, jocular fashion. It's like journaling but by way of making quips for the sake of brevity

Playing Guild Wars reforged. I missed this kind of old ass MMO, especially with the mouse controls. Inject the early 2000s straight into my veins

Should your person require preposterous lengthening of written linguistic constructs as temporary lieutenants for future literary expression, I am prepared to oblige by offering such services of devising calculated verbosity contingent upon payment requisite

My version of this is 'Take a shower'
My increasingly common rebuttal to a lot of media criticism (especially the doom-laden stuff) is simply 'That's not true, you're just depressed'.
Don't write when you're sad. Have a snack, pet a kitten/puppy/other friend-shaped creature, take a walk, and clear your head first.

I do wonder how much of Larian's AI kerfuffle comes from the fact that 'AI' is a pointless marketing term that means nothing beyond what folks ascribe to it

This made me realize my technology upbringing was really funny. I've used one of those stationary, wall-mounted rotary phones. I had dial-up in the Year of our Lord 2009. I still use cursive to this day. Not only have I used a typewriter, I've used a mechanical calculator. I'm 29

Seeing people mad that Wikipedia allows LLMs to train on it is super dumb. That's what being open and freely available means folks
No one could have predicted 25 years ago that Wikipedia would grow into the backbone of knowledge on the internet it is today, powering search engines, voice assistants, and generative AI tools. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

Something cool about the process of making stuff is that it's building towards a result, yes, but it's also its own reward in a way.

In my experience as someone who grew up a bit too smart and too annoying for their own good, you should be at least a bit suspicious of anyone who looks like they're trying to sound smart. Pretending to speak from authority can absolutely be its own manipulation technique
it's always funny when people act like I must be stupid because i don't act the way they think a smart person is supposed to act.

Witchfire rules. The art direction is immaculate, the gunplay comfortably rivals Destiny without skimping on depth, and the RPG/Roguelite elements are genuinely unique. The commitment to offline singleplayer is also admirable in this day an age. Game's unbelievable and isn't even done
Ooh, big update for Witchfire adding melee weapons today.
This game is what happens when a bunch of Destiny super-fans decide to make something that *isn't* a live-service Forever Game. Very similar feeling combat but with almost all the fat cut out.
Single-player only, BTW. No multiplayer plans.

This was the year I finally got good enough at Devil May Cry 5 to start making serious progress in DMD. I'm doing sicko things in that game that I'd have thought impossible a year ago
Fuck Geoff, whats YOUR Game of the Year? I don't even care if it came out in 2025, what was THE game that got you through the last 12 months
I'm going with Rimworld, the new expansion absolutely sucked me back in like an endless vacuum, just typing this makes me want to play ig again

It's borderline insulting when it recommends me stuff in my native language that's been dubbed in English just because I like to use English UI across my devices. I don't need this! People can speak more than one language, Mr. Google, despite your best efforts
The newest unwelcome Youtube feature is "auto-dubbing" turned on by default. Watch video of a Japanese game, and suddenly a fakey voice is speaking over it. It's not that the uploader is speaking over it, it's Youtube translating what the audio is saying, without telling you.

Not sure that complaining about a work being "heavy handed" counts as real criticism. God forbid art and media have convictions about stuff it's trying to say. Plus you know these folks would also complain about ambiguity if these were presented more subtly
