Another reason I fucking love Linux: I've learned how to do basic system admin for like 3 different flavors of Linux over the years and yet I am still. Still. Having to look up what fun new places everything is stored in now that I'm playing with OpenSUSE. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

The "I found a money plant and I made it my whole personality" run. Managing Golem, Lopunny, Heracross, and feeding Crobat in the same set would have been a NIGHTMARE w/o Venusaur +1 hand size + income and Tarot Merchant Also fuck Nebula deck.

Gold stake ante 8 Nebula deck win in Pokermon Balatro mode running Venusaur, Golem, Crobat, Lopunny, and Heracross as the jokers.

behavior aside, I think if your bio mentions being on twitter 2 years ago, and thats all you've had to say about yourself? Blocking is still probably a net win lol. Not everyone needs to be -interesting- but by golly please have a concept of self that isn't your past social media platform of choice.

Becoming a believer in what the gf has taught me as "The Bifecta:" having 3 beverages at all times: one for caffeine, one for taste, and water (and yes I've told her bifecta would mean two, but she insists it means "bisexual and she doesnt do that math shit.") System kinda fuckin works though.

Pictured, my variation of "The Bifecta," with coffee for the caffeine and tea for the flavor. Her variant typically features a redbull and a dr pepper.

One funny thing I've realized over time is that taking a break from a game you're trying to learn actually does help. I've found it's the case for fighting games and tonight was the first time I've grinded DoDonPachi in a few days and it's the best I've done. This image is just unironically true.

You have a front brain and a hind brain, and from what I've been told, also there's a left and right brain. Which means the human brain indeed has a "front and back, side to side"

I'm so fed up with everything. I am just looking for some regular work so I can pay my bills. I'm "over qualified" for any of the tourism jobs but apparently over 20 years experience isn't enough for a full time dev job anymore. I'm tired and getting angrier at it all.

Production 101 of the video courses exists because too many times indie studios know how to build a game, but not how to ship a commercial game. Production is a large part of what publishers evaluate, and the skill you need to ship. Available now for teams & freelancers both: courses.ramiismail.com

The fate of Farhaven hangs in the balance: TEAM DOG vs. TEAM CAT When our Kickstarter launches October 1, a very limited number of backers will be able to bring their pet to Farhaven. And naturally, we’re turning this into a competition. Vote now on our Kickstarter page: buff.ly/oIdjSBh

Oh my GOD these references are only "unintelligible" if you have no experience with the humanities or other cultures AND can't perform a basic internet search. And this quote comes from a professor of languages and linguistics??? Please read some books. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

From the article QRP'd: When a Google agent said “True Kintsugi begins with accountability, not poetry”, the researchers realised kintsugi is a branch of Japanese ceramics in which broken pots are mended with visible joins. The AIs used the word to mean system resilience.

“The evidence provided in this research naturally raises certain monitoring concerns, as if we find inter-agent exchanges unintelligible, that may mean that we can’t be sure about what the agents have actually done,” he said.

An example search resuly showing exactly how prevalent the link between resilience and kintsugi is. Even if this wasn't a concept you knew previously, it would take all of 60 seconds to figure out the reference being made.

It took me all of 30 seconds with basic search operators to track down meanings for these "surreal dialect" phrases. "The ledger remembers" pops up in exactly the meaning these LLMs are using it in many many times through the 2000s in creative writing. It's just recycled references, as usual.

Consort @consort.northsky.social · 15/09/2026

Sometimes I wonder if the waves of people picking up on LLM red flags like this are aware that pre-LLMs, these red flags were still extremely prevalent in lazy marketing and just about as reliable in identifying a crappy product or service. Have people not been dodging the 3-piece for ages now?

Tired of the discourse so I'm just gonna point out it's NOT PROBLEMATIC to want to bang the new Overwatch hero, he's only PHYSICALLY a millenial but he's ACTUALLY a 77 year old vampire. Hope this helps.
