With respect, even in best terms, this nightmare doesn't end in 23 days. It's going to take maybe a decade or longer to set to right everything that has been broken or has been exposed as a preexisting break. 23 days until we can grab the wheel to start turning the ship, but it doesn't end there.

always remember: the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars and you don't have anywhere near even a million dollars, do you?

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Oops! Forgot timezone. That's 9:30 AM EST. And yeah, it's a livestream event. It'll be on the twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak channel. And no worries on not wanting to do vocal commentary. I've carried exceedingly lengthy runs solo before. Just wanted to put the offer out there.

@critcorsac.bsky.social Hey, so the schedule for Questing for Glory is up. Dovvee's ReQuest is scheduled for around 9:30 AM on Monday, November 2nd. Was curious if you'd be interested in helping out with commentary for it.

people keep getting this wrong. a softlock is if a game is technically continuing to function, but it is in a state where it is impossible to progress (e.g. idaho). if it's entered a state where core functions don't work anymore and you can't reset out (e.g. florida) that's a hardlock.

To be clear: if you find a meaningful difference between "hates AI, never used it" and "hates AI, but dicked around awhile ago with some chatbots/image generators for a bit" enough to get upset, I feel there are some misplaced priorities at play there.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.
A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

This reality may be broken, but creations like yours help others take their mind off of that fact, even if only for a short while. It's what helps keep us sane. Creativity is extremely powerful.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

First run of Dovvee's ReQuest complete! (and just in time to get a submission in for Questing for Glory) Still a fair amount of time can come off this given that I hadn't even tested the back half of the route before doing a full run. (Also, not streamed since I didn't have time to set things up)

Once I have my speedrun route finished, I'll do another run through on Flash Cart to see if it happens again.
010
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Honestly, given that neither of us have had any luck in reproducing it, and the fact that it couldn't have been interference from a random encounter, I'm be willing to chalk this one up to being a oddity with my Flash Cart.

Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
-I believe I just walked for that one tile, but I honestly don't remember for certain. -I'm unsure if I tried to open any menus during the walk or immediately after stepping off of the ice.
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
So, IIRC: -I don't recall hearing any sounds when the freeze happened. -I had the good perfume active. And knowing how the random encounters work now, I'm fairly confident that an encounter wouldn't have been possible given that it was only 1 step off of the ice.

Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Okay, so I was able to get through the "4" door on my casual save file, but I had to go get the Void Heart to do it. So one of the hearts didn't increment the value properly. On emulator, it seems to work fine with only 4 so far. I'ma test all the possible use combinations, but it'll take a while.
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
And for that matter, what's the memory address for the heart counter?
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Where's the 120 heart located? When I get home, I can hex edit my stats on emulator and rush to having flight so I can double check on my end.

Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I haven't managed to reproduce it either. (And I'll give a more detailed response when I get home from work)
010
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Hmm... I'll have to scour for that 5th one then. See if that lets me into the "4" door. It's strange that the "2" door opens after using only 2 hearts though, yet "4" requires 5?
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Though now that I think about it, something still isn't adding up. On my first playthrough file, I have a max HP of 436 with 0 in Resourcefulness. Base is 320, which means I had to have used all 4 since 4+16+32+64=116. Yet the "4" door still won't open.
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Okay, scratch that question. I think I may have just accidentally figured it out. Seems to be tied to how many of the "Heart" items you've used.
110
Dragondarch @dragondarch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Appreciate the info! That also confirms that my first playthrough actually did achieve a perfect ending. Though now I have one more question: How exactly do you open the "4" door in the cave next to Dovvee's cave? I managed to open the "2" door, but I have no idea how.

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

I'm trying to make a "100%" category, which is going to basically be to "Help Everyone," and the ending scenes should be the easiest way to verify whether that condition has been fulfilled.
