this one is especially egregious

A single panel comic hand drawn illustration of Barret Wallace from FF7 gesturing disgustedly to a screenshot from nvidia's atrocious DLSS 5 slop that leaked, showing a photo of what was once Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is now a yassified Al model standing in a flatly lit Instagram environment. Barret's text box reads "We're killin' the planet for THIS shit?"

Wow. This year's Rising is unfair. As a lifelong fan of Final Fantasy and growing up playing from the first FF all the way to current day, this was such a meaningful and a beautiful surprise. Thanks Squaresoft(-Enix) and FF and all the staff who have contributed to this major part of my life <3

since WHA is poppin, please look at this panel that helped me reframe the learning process

panel from witch hat atelier's manga, featuring a teacher telling his student:
"How nice. Your 'incomprehension' has developed. From 'I don't know what to do,' to 'I don't know how to do it.' That's huge progress, right? It's good to see."

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

I've always lived by the mantra that you should treat others as you would like to be treated. Unfortunately, this is proof that I have not kept up with the current time and age; these days reciprocity is well and truly dead. Now I just have to figure out, how do I trust people anymore?

Elsten @elsten.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

You'd think that at my age, I'd have learned by now that I shouldn't trust people so easily; shouldn't expect to be equals and friends even after 7+ years together almost daily. But nope, I haven't learned, and it turns out yet again that I'm just unimportant garbage there to be taken advantage of.

While I rest my old exhausted bones from Fanfest 2026, I want to write down some thoughts... Firstly, a big thank you to all the @en.finalfantasyxiv.com staff involved in organizing this Fanfest. It was so much fun, and every part of it was comfortable as well; space and accessibility were perfect.
