Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Anyone in corporate America ever have the experience of a director that loves pushing reports and analysis "to be cleared ASAP" and have reviews be same day on 200 page documents? Then when actual review of the document happens, and questions pop up, you have to give that director a brief? 100
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Welp steam frame wait-list email just came through, just gotta wait I guess. Congrats to those who can buy it. 000
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'm hoping I win the Steam Frame lottery on Friday and can buy one. Still if I can't get one due to demand that is a good thing for VR in general, getting a user base out there. 000
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The new generation of tradespeople is fucking hilarious. I listened to an electrician call her supervisor a company cuck (it is an accurate statement) and 20 minutes later when he came back to be wrong some more, she loudly dragged a chair to the work bench and told him he can sit there, no touching 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Vr devs of bluesky. As I am now an old man I request you look at the suit design of the original Godzilla. Those arm movements and intended hold angles are super ergonomic. It was being held by a beast of a man under 100 kg of suit working a 4 to 8 hour shift. #vr #vrdevs 110
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 28/07/2026What a lot of the AI business "acceleration" people don't get is the data that matters for them is still created and entered by people. That 120 hours of work got consumed and ignored in an hour by a project manager, now it is under a second. Labs need people and time, even with automation. 130
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Backyard influencer update, he is military and someone in a mentorship role came over to talk to him today while I was hanging out with my cat and dog in the yard. The young sailor gave a very impassioned speech"I need to get a Marine one coin, it is my dream to earn one, my god given mission." 120
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Sitting with my partner and our dog who is not liking this thunderstorm. Researching it, the smoke is increasing the amount of lightning simply by increased friction and mass to have charge transfer. Just another consequence of climate change. 020
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I'm terrible at FreeCad FEA, setting up meshes, and going back and hand editing other people's stuff to see if it will work cause I don't know how to mesh well. Anyways, I suck at it. So there is a game engine GODOT that can be used as an interface. FEA in VR might be coming voxeled near you. 110
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I'm playing elite dangerous on my couch cuddled up with my dog sick. I've come to the realization that if shields were ever a thing, and whoopseeing right in to a house was a no harm to the vehicle and just venmo the damages situation, society would crumble that day. 120
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Anyone else use Claude and read the thought process state "Now I need to go through every slider creation point in vr_tuning_panel.txt — the physics tab's generic slider builder, the clay tab's hardness sliders, and the durability tab I just added —" in the snottiest 5 year veteran designer voice? 110
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Question for the LLM crowd. What is the viability of coordinated effort at the user level to radicalize "normie" users to their cause? Push the search results and feedback to show why hydration breaks are a thing in America, while the world's largest sporting organization doesn't have commercials? 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 19/06/2026The benefit of being a subject matter expert in a niche field in a complex manufacturing industry is that you have job security cause it is easy to not get all the variables and fuck it all up. AI is accelerating that job security for me as people are now confidently wrong, requiring more fixing. 110
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I live near a Navy base, and have a backyard facing another backyard. That house is a rental and usually sailors. Loud parties on Tuesday nights in the summer and ukulele solos at 3am sort of thing. Today I encountered the new neighbors. 110
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Today I helped a friend move a cluster of American beachgrass without googling first. Fuck that plant. It evolved to fuck by stabbing its pollen in to an animal and hoping that animal grinds on another beachgrass. It was naturally selected to do this and it worked. This is the hellscape with no 🐝 000

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The amount of money we are spending to blow up drug runners instead of ... not killing them and getting information, is just plain dumb. If the administration is supposed to run the country as a business, why does this administration not do any ROI? Right, because they are lazy and liars. 010

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Corporate America is a society and economy that promotes quick decisions without facts, corner and cost cutting, and blatant refusal to acknowledge the consequences of actions. They don't do "the right thing for society", they do what they think they can get away with and defer responsibility. 111
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 24/02/2026As an elder millennial, hearing the phrase "blizzard of 26" makes me think about 1926, not the current snow I shoveled today. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Anyone else wondering what is happening in the other timeline where Matt Gaetz is the AG having to do the Trump files coverup? He couldn't even cover up his own sex crimes. 010

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Considering Trump's mental decline, at what point in this presidency was allowing him to continue being the president legally considered elder abuse? 000
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 12/01/2026To everyone confused by this administration's justifications in anything they do, remember that corporate executives believe in decision based evidence making. "Just make a business case / justification" is just corporate speak for "make it up" This is how business is run now and morons wanted that. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Hanging out with my partner, getting pulled in to Traitors. I have many questions about this among us style game show, but only one is important. How does Alan think "murder" is spelled? 100

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Being an adult is weird. You have to start considering the fact you shouldn't eat a ball of burrata during the week so you can be comfortable while having responsibilities the next day. Also being an adult is just living with the consequences of your decision to eat two balls of burrata. 000

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Sitting in the backyard with the pups while it is nice out right before the storm hits. At least, it would be nice except for the cricket 20 feet to my right that is chirping exactly like my work phone. I don't need that stress right now. 120
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 31/08/2025I'm already imagining the South Park episode where JD Vance and Satan are carrying Trump's body around "weekend at Bernie's" style. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Just realized, I have forgotten what jd Vance looks like, my brain can only recall the meme. Then I realized that Trump also forgot what Vance looks like and posted the meme Vance. Why is the rise of fascism so weird? 000

Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Can everyone please stop saying we are living in unprecedented times? That is false. These times are very precedented. Please, please read 1925 to 1939 German history. Anything, you'll start finding parallels. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025I have a strong feeling that some speech writer in the current administration is just asking an ai to put a positive spin on the onion headlines at a 3rd grade level, then sending it unchecked to be a press release. I wouldn't be shocked if this headline is the basis for today's press release. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Algorithm based news feeds really show me how susceptible to rage bait I am. I click one PC gamer article where it is just whining that a thief game is coming to VR and now most of my gaming feed is vr game whining articles. I'd rather read about these games from less insufferable journalists. 020
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I recently learned the proper spelling of Dorothy after not paying attention my entire life. What the fuck? Two O's... And not next to each other. Then when trying to find out how this came to be, Google's ai just gaslights me, stating there is only one O in Dorothy. 010
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Anyone else watching The Handmaid's Tale this season just realizing how normal this show seems now? Heads of Gilead are just a bunch of corrupt hypocrites in a power grab using fear mongering, promotion of misogyny, and performative toxic masculinity. Why isn't this ridiculous anymore? 100
Ducking Mitch @duckingmitch.bsky.social · 22/02/2025I just finished my first session of VRNoid after picking it up then forgetting about it. It is a fun little game to get moving a bit in the morning. It left a very good first impression with a good touch of nostalgia for an elder millennial. Combining arknoid and air hockey just feels right. 000
