Hey everyone, I made a small tutorial video for my friends on how to install the AI Disclosure Warning and SteamDB extensions directly in the Steam APP on Windows. That way, you get those QoLs directly in Steam! Enjoy and pass it along! 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-qQ...

Protip: you do not have to watch the new Harry Potter trailer. I did not watch the new Harry Potter trailer, and I am doing great. If I had watched the new Harry Potter trailer, I am sure to have felt regretful and like I had betrayed many wonderful trans folks just living their lives.

More Call of Cthulhu yesterday, for the conclusion to an investigation of a haunted house! Plenty of scares polished off by a confrontation with the culprit, whom despite his prodigious magical and martial prowess turned out to be weak to Point Blank Shotgun. Everyone survived. Physically.

YouTube it's already annoying enough that you let manual claims force me to mute chunks of my video without letting me filter out the claimed audio, but can whatever bullshit AI autocaptioning system you've recently snuck in there please stop removing my captions from the muted parts. like cmon -R

Dragonflies have always been a favourite of mine. And I have a soft spot for Orb Weaver spiders - they lived all around the outside of the windows in my old flat, and it was nice to watch them.

I *may* have deliberately overcomplicated the description there. Artists love tripling the number of characters in a scene, right? :P But the inside of some kind of tent on campaign would be fun I think.

The inside of the command tent, perhaps? Tactical map on the central table; various desks with parchment for writing instructions, the tea set, and some spare Tomes; Chrom and Robin having an argument about strategy; a scoreboard for who's killed the most Revenants; and so on.

I hope it's good. There's a decent cast of characters, a solid setting, and a simple premise which together could make for either a really fun and over the top action movie, or something that falls hard into the "Bad Video Game Movie" tropes.

Hard to disagree with this. Microsoft is literally the tech company most complicit in the genocide in Gaza. The least you can do is add a note about that. If complicity in a genocide isn't where you draw the line, then where would you? What would it take? I genuinely wonder.

One of my bedrock beliefs is that capitalists *really* hate capitalism. They name their beloved institutes after the likes of Adam Smith, but they ignore everything Smith had to say about the necessity of competition to keep markets from turning into monopolies: pluralistic.net/2023/06/09/c... 1/

Given that it was only yesterday that I learned that countries aren't generally supposed to charge tolls for passage through their *own* waters, I find it hard to believe that there's any legal basis for doing it in those of another country.

Some thoughts about writing stuff, in no particular order (this might be a long-ish thread): 1. When Old Man's War came out (2005), lots of people read it and assumed I was conservative, because of its subject matter, and sub-genre, me being a white dude from Ohio, and other various factors.

More Call of Cthulhu this evening, whereupon the Investigators found themselves trapped in an ancient Egyptian tomb with a horrifying abomination! Naturally, the "expendable NPC" dodged every incoming strike, and the professional translator almost killed the monster in a single blow. Fun times!

Counter people saying this by insisting on using the word "oft" instead. Maybe it'll all balance out in the end!
