I need to start treating every comment from a coworker who habitually uses AI as deliberate misinformation designed to send me off into the weeds. Since I can't always tell which coworkers those are, it means I need to start my own investigation from scratch every time I'm added to a ticket.

They're bracing for the fact that no matter how much edgy they tried to made it, unless it's explicitly pro-facism and structurally sexist to the point it offends even the average GTA player, it's gonna get accused of being woke.

On a whim of curiosity I looked up the lyrics for When Johnny Comes Marching Home, since I know melody but never heard the words. The first verse has very different implications today than it did when it was written...

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies, they will all turn out,
And we'll all feel gay,
When Johnny comes marching home.

Okay I know this is a weird thing to get hung up on, but why is the inner stroke on the o's in the second part so much smaller than the inner stroke of the o in the first part? And why is the stoke on the other characters with voids in the second part offset to the right?

Decided it would be handy to have a cheap tiny digital photo camera that could plug directly into a USB port, but all I could find a couple sketchy listings for spy devices with sketchy-to-no reviews, and they appear primarily designed for recording videos.

Control Resonant is a chocolate I bit into expecting it to be solid and instead found a cherry. It's a really good chocolate covered cherry and I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying it, but I'm never really going to get over the unpleasant surprise I got biting into it. =/

I can't believe I'm saying this because the dialogue would have been pretty cringe. But I wish the Control Resonant devs had made a lampshade hanging corny joke at the start about the fact that there are no hidden breakable walls in this game.

Got my first haircut in years. No more ponytail but I had them leave it long enough to have layered curls.

Feeling a lot less antagonist toward Control Resonant after adjusting the difficulty with the assist menu. The combat still doesn't vibe with me nearly as much as Control's did and often feels a little like a chore, but at least it isn't rage inducing any longer.

finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The most novel thing about CONTROL Resonant so far is that I'm pretty sure it's the first open world game that's made me long for a linear experience.

FFXIV made one of the weekly goals in the event playing a game of Mahjong with other players. I just played randomly for the first two hands before noticing that there was a suggested move hint in the UI, then won the next two and the game by just doing what it said.

I'm beginning to suspect that the "terms of service" I broke that got me banned from twitter was using AdGuard. Twitch refuses to let me login unless I switch it off, so clearly platforms can detect it and they do not like it.

Surprised they aren't switching another unusual rendering software like Source Film Maker.

Had a problem today while planning an FFXIV giveaway where there was no practical way to show people in-game previews of their options because there were 18 different items involved. Someone suggested a making a carrd page and that turned out to work pretty well: fizmenu.carrd.co

Good news! I do not have Celiac! At worst I have IBS which is sensitive to gluten or something sometimes used alongside gluten.

Amused that more people are recognizing me and saying they're a fan of me in FFXIV for sitting AFK in one of the cities 24/7 than ever did when I was most well known for running regular giveaways for years.

Decided it was time to sever my TVs and monitors from the internet. I'd be able to make due completely with my PS5 for streaming on the TV, except Sony still hasn't approved the Dropout app, so I'm getting a shield for my new streaming device.

I'm not saying that they recorded the VO lines for Blood of Dawnwalker by sorting them alphabetically, but the lack of consistency between actors talking to each other and frequent lines that really don't fit the tone of the scene reminds me a little of Oblivion sometimes.

Found out yesterday that the crepe mix I've been using for the last week is pure wheat flour... And I've had zero intestinal distress. Despite supposedly having Celiac.

X-COM: Enemy Within is one of the DLCs that is a straight up upgrade to the base game, addressing many player complaints while also fleshing out the thinner bits of the game with new content.

Coyote vs Acme is one of the most niche movies I've ever seen, and I doubt it will see much box office success, but I'm right in the niche and had a blast.

Suspended on twitter again... Probably for using OldTwitter? Stings a lot less now with so many friends having moved to bluesky, but I still don't feel sharing most of my thoughts outside locked zone.

There's no narration, it's just a laugh track that happens ever time I do something foolish (all the time).

My trick for trying to slow my brain when it's in overdrive is to try and picture a cube sitting in an empty void. Every time my brain tries to make it more interesting or change the channel I change it back to the simple cube in a void.

When they pass the law requiring AI generated content to be labeled the label shouldn't be "MADE WITH AI" it should be "THE PERSON WHO PUT THIS HERE DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT IT TO DO IT PROPERLY"

If Larian had ended BG3 with a sequel hook and Hasbro had said that it's "still too early to discuss future projects"... Actually, bad example, that'd be pretty on-brand for Hasbro. Just didn't expect Amazon to be quite so self-destructive when they finally get a goose who lays a golden egg.

Sigh. We can't have nice things. If IO Interactive are getting cut out of the sequels I definitely won't be preordering and will be waiting for reviews, if not a heavy sale, to pick them up.

What if Cow Tools were actually anomalous simple machines that we missed, analogous to how SCP-033 is an anomalous missing integer.

AI sends a very clear message: "I don't care enough to put in the time, effort, and/or money to do this properly." If you're not okay with sending that message, don't use AI.
