Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm old enough that I've started seeing videos like "10 Secrets in Chrono Trigger You Didn't Know About" and it has made clear that humanity has always been this way. Privilege of the young to have an idea/discovery and feel genius. Privilege of the old to ignore the young. 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Mega Man X Corrupted in development for at least 14 years, I don't care if I get to ever play it I just respect the dev's ability to stick to a project that long 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah I see articles like this and think the author just fell for an elaborate troll. I've seen people dumb enough to recalibrate my priors on human intelligence but not THIS bad and I just have to trust my anecdotal experience on this one. 110
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 30/09/2026AI execs agreeing to self-police is a tacit admission that they weren't doing so already or an empty gesture. Or both! 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Bravely Default is a final fantasy game and Agnes ought to show up alongside Cloud and Onion Knight in crossovers and I'll fight people about this 111
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is one of those games that I played endlessly when it was new and assumed I had Gotten Good. Like how Mega Man X is a trivial affair despite claims of its difficulty. But when I played it a few months ago, no, MMZ is still Not Fucking Around. 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Whenever someone says AI will destroy humanity I remind them that LLMs are _not_ AI, they only _look_ like AI. If anything, be scared that it's just one more tool in the toolbox of human CEOs and the capital class to put self-enrichment ahead of human life and dignity. That is happening _today_. 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I've been seeing "Zelda in Unreal Engine" demos for what feels like a decade on YouTube, this just looks like those. I've got no attention for it. 000

If you're wondering why so many people are mourning the death of a guy who voiced a transforming cartoon robot truck it's because Peter Cullen spent 40 years with a real philosophy behind the voice.

Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Chewy wants me to review the cat food I ordered. That's lunatic behavior. What could I possibly say about cat food that is useful to other cat owners. 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The problem isn't a -lack- of time, it's that all our free time is spent recuperating from fresh daily horrors. I've got 5 hours of free time after work and I can't unwind because AI is coming for my job, the president is a fascist, and nothing is affordable. 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Imagine generating just 2 or 3 clips and instead of being embarrassed to death you ask grok to make like 50 more. I can't believe how LONG this kept going! 110

Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The Dean Blunt one is the closest for overall vibes, but I happen to have tracks from Archive and Steven Wilson in my playlists so it's fun to see them here too. 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 19/06/2026WHM is similar. You get Cure 2, but never want to use it because it's a 2s cast and 1000mp, but sometimes Cure 1 will give you a free cast of 2. If there's anything frustrating about the skill system it's that often "read the description" isn't enough, you need the context of ALL your other skills. 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 19/06/2026THM/BLM changes how it works WAY more often over the course of 100 levels than any other job. I never figured it out. The other classes all tend to build up in a predictable way. DRG at 100 has the same base combos as 15, by comparison 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I feel the same way about Neon Odyssey. Don't say you're inspired by nostalgia! It's already obvious to the people it caters to and it's false for anyone young enough to find it cool on its own merits! 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Is there a name for the "I'm successful professionally so I must always be right" fallacy? I don't think "tech bro" really captures the same idea correctly. 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Are the rings gifts, though? Now I'm trying to work out semantically if a bomb with a bow on it is a gift or merely presenting as one. Is poisoned food still nourishment? 110
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 07/05/2026What the English teachers missed was the idea that it's very possible to just not engage critically at all, to just waltz through life passively believing whoever gets to you first 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I think the issue you'll run into is that the world doesn't have the language yet to deal with this yet. Anyone over 45 functionally grew up on another planet. They can "understand" the concept of "being online" maybe, but there's no way they can mentally map it to real world effects. 010

Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would place bets knowing that some people with insider knowledge are also betting. It becomes a coin-toss. You're not betting on "US attacks Iran", you're betting on "someone is trying to profit off knowing the US is going to attack Iran". 040

Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 31/01/2026I hit a brick wall for about 10 hours when the mq requires you to kill the telvanni archmagister and his two dremora guards. My character build was uniquely unsuited but I came back with different tools and smoked him. That's the kind of experience that makes MW great. 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Weird that Morrowind appears in my timeline just as I'm rediscovering it. It absolutely holds up. 50 some hours in and I'm finally Hortator of all houses. 120

Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 14/01/2026...really it's just to inhibit mass movements. I could have worked through the JS but what's the point, they're all in on fascism anyway and the thoughts of the people they represent are clearly not a factor 000
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I thought about "contacting my representatives" but they're all Rs and also their website contact forms collect so much info I felt like it was dangerous to even try. I just know those forms get fed into a system that'll label me a dissident. Also they disabled copy pasting for "security" but... 100
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Same. I haven't intentionally watched a marvel movie in years but I had to check myself after I thought "hey they're using the Jim Lee designs, maybe it'll be decent" 010
Forktail @elanoides.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Do you mean such as "runs made after hitting the ball twice in the same pitch count double" vs "a new rule cannot directly counteract an existing rule"? 000
