A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Just rolled credits on Nighthawks, and I must say @sallybeaumont.bsky.social has a delightful number of credits-outtakes given her screen time 131
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Yeah, it seems flattening to compare subjective experiences on a single scale, or at least that is the excuse I make. I am also generally bad at knowing my own preferences. 010
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Because that doesn't really stop people from asking, I will often give a incomplete, unordered list of things I quite like with 20 disclaimers. At least for things that I care about, the thought of pretending to have favorites is as stressful as trying to have them. 011
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Favorites and ranking things stresses me out. It assumes a total ordering in my mind that simply does not exist. 230
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I clicked the link, and immediately realized that I had read it about a year ago. I remember enjoying it, although I am blanking on the ending. Which is perhaps fitting. 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I did finish all of it last night. And, yep, accurate 120
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 31/08/2026My wrist stuff is preexisting, and comes and goes. I have a tiny 4" ereader, which can be awkward to hold-and-press-buttons at times. But I also did some heavy-ish dumbell stuff, which possibly didn't help either. 120
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I gave myself a mild wrist rsi reading "aftertaste" yesterday. I felt sad in varied regions of my head, throat and chest. (Complimentary) 142
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Two thirds into "We're All Going to the World's Fair," the most disturbing thing I have seen is someone microwaving a glass of milk and then drinking it. 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I have mostly seen it in 70s sf, but then again I mostly read sf. paperbackgods.blogspot.com/2023/11/smok...paperbackgods.blogspot.comSMOKE BREAK: Vintage Cigarette AdsPut down that paperback and have a smoke!

A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I somehow feel marginally better about old paperbacks with inexplicable glossy cigarette ads in the middle of them 110
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 08/08/2026And their own past. They had been capable of weird interesting jank, if of a different flavor than black isle. Sometimes I think the converse of the "interesting times" curse is bland competence. 020
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I didn't go into Lisztomania expecting to see Liszt killing a vampire Wagner with a flamethrower piano 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 05/07/2026It is a hockey stick chart of a book. (Also my avatar is cropped from one of the covers) 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 18/06/2026As an American, that sounds about right. There is also "proper" diaspora stuff, but that isn't the most common relationship to it. The more distant you are, the more it turns into a merit badge/horoscope. 0340
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 13/06/2026It is a truly dangerous time to praise someone named "Al" using a sans serif typeface. 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 09/06/2026You just need a hat you don't mind getting slightly wet 010
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Although if someone is throwing out dishwashing gloves after each use, something has gone wrong 020
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/05/2026And in a professional context, that had largely already happened by the 80s 010
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/05/2026And it certainly has been a pattern that women get crowded out of computing when it starts to gain prestige 110
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 24/05/2026It is worth noting that graph shows a percentage, and may not represent an absolute decline. I think this is a different dataset, since it of degrees granted, but it shows female graduate counts continuing to rise, just not nearly as quickly as men. nces.ed.gov/programs/dig...nces.ed.govDegrees in computer and information sciences conferred by postsecondary institutions, by level of degree and sex of student: Academic years 1964-65 through 2021-22The primary purpose of the Digest of Education Statistics is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate sc... 130
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 21/05/2026We managed to keep 1060 6gb as the min spec (with low settings). But we have gameplay relevant dynamic lighting, so there was a lot playing perf cop. 120

Reposted by A. PersonA. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I have been thinking that myself. Not search per-se, but effective search. If we still lived in the world of Altavista, the librarians of the internet--as a postdoc once described the old yahoo--would still have a vital niche. Once Google became a verb, decline was inevitable. 211

A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Spaghetti, harpsichord, pentagram, air conditioner, paper, socks 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 10/05/2026It doesn't bother me that much, though. The game's nostalgia seems to be fractal and impressionistic, rather than an attempt at accuracy. So much is late 90s nostalgia for late 70s-80s music and pop culture. 010
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I broadly enjoyed "Mixtape", but immediately fixated on the MC's headphones. They were clearly meant to be Koss PortaPros with Yaxi pads. PortaPros were clearly available, but it seems unlikely that a PNW teenager would have Yaxi pads, if they existed back then. 100
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I was a regular on the ign forums for Arcanum back in 2001. Ended up getting a signed copy after coming up with the name for a Troika fanfic. 010
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 23/04/2026My favorite part of Buster Keaton's Ace Attorney movie is the training montage where he practices pointing emphatically 110
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 18/04/2026We always know. There are only so many times that you can see dogs howl and strain at their leads as you approach before you sense a trend. 020
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I would have some respect for a human replying to random comments with incoherent cliches. Sadly, I doubt that is the case. 000
A. Person @fakesneeze.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I do sometimes read books on my phone now when I lack the pocket space, but it is much less social. I sometimes get asked about a book that I am reading, but I can't imagine that ever happening with a phone. 020
