iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

using technology ever*, frick

every opportunity to flex creative muscles, every ounce of friction in a game, every bit of self-determination and -expression: sacrificed to the slop machine so they can consume more slop. it's fucking bleak, man

every second or third post on the WoW subreddits these days is "i vibecoded an addon that wipes your ass, plays the game for you, and tells you what a good boy you are" and i am fuuuuuuuuucking sick of it, dude. "this addon AI-generates a story for your char--" OPEN A TEXT DOCUMENT FOR FUCK'S SAKE

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 19h

i think everybody who vibe-codes addons for every single little thing in a game and anybody who downloads those addons because they like consuming slop should just have their computer blow up and be barred from using technology every clearly they cannot be trusted with it

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

do you realize how insane this would sound to non-plugged in people if the word "trans" in "trans rights" was replaced by literally anything else? you're playing right into the already virulently anti-trans rhetoric being bandied about by implying trans rights are shit we can or should compromise on

The leveling process is whatever, but Crucible of the Unbroken is actually so fuckin sick. And I haven't even gotten to the higher-level stuff/extra degrees yet.

I think a mistake some people make, esp from the outside looking in is attempting to understand KH's lore (not its story) chronologically, which, of course, is not how that lore was originally conceived, so they're trying to digest all of the extra Lore explanations on top of the series' basic plot

Alright, I've had about enough of Overwatch's forced 50% WR bullshit for one lifetime. I've given this game waaaaay too much of my time over the past decade, but it's become clearer and clearer to me that these devs have absolutely no fucking clue what they're doing

000

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

extremely not-mad about the fact they giganerfed Pharah's flight capabilities and then had the gall to add Jetpack Cat to this game's fuck-ass roster every time i see a jetpack cat + cass ult or a jetpack cat carrying a bastion (even in pro play!) i like this game less and less

literally all i've ever used it for is if I wanna juice up my aspected benefic's initial heal a bit, or if i, for some reason, have to spam benefic 2 on a shitter tank lol -- synastry's healing still procs even on the person you put it on, so it's like. a (mutters)% boost to GCD heals

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

i think the first quest of evercold should force players to kill a level 100, last MSQ trial-level target dummy. if you can't do it, the game uninstalls itself ez fix

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

the amount of people i run into in level 100 duties that straight-up cannot play this fucking game is insane

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

i'm begging square enix to implement knowledge checks in ffxiv. do not let the sprout BLM past level 26 without them demonstrating they know the difference between THUNDER and THUNDER II. do not let the half-asleep DNC past the tutorial until they demonstrate full standard step uptime. please.

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

my most toxic opinion is that they should make the game less casual to force an overall higher skill level, but that's only because i'm tired of running into shitters in roulettes lol

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

insane that it's somehow unreasonable to politely ask a DNC to use *standard step* in Vanguard/level 97. pair of dipshits in the same guild in a random leveling roulette run who made the dungeon take twice as long as it should've. god i wish actively lethargic play in FFXIV was reportable. guhh.

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

Sam Altman: cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

You *can* give the unit you control direct orders, but a lot of your success in combat comes down to micro-adjustments in strategy rather than pressing the exact right button at the exact right time. You'd have to slow down the pace of enemy attacks a *lot* in order to shift this game to turn-based

Y'know what I just realized? Final Fantasy XIII is basically a small-scale RTS-like. And it's fuckin' awesome.

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

also i gotta be honest, i *don't* think it's good design for a bog-standard, level 30ish mission to be nearly physically impossible unless you have a specific kind of frame to prevent enemies from doing damage to a gigantic objective yes this is about hijack missions. fuck hijack missions.

Isaiah @chilifro.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

i swear some warframe players have a chronic disease that forces them to be *as* unhelpful as possible "hey this mission type is hard. any tips?" "oh just use [this frame]! oh just use [these Arcanes]!" conveniently leaving out the dozens of hours you'd have to spend getting those things...

. . . the most part, so I'm not gonna use it. But if other people get a use out of it, I'm not gonna begrudge 'em that 'cause some other people use it to 'optimize out their fun' or what-have-you. One scenario doesn't detract from the other, and neither detract from my own experience, so :shrug:.
