AI may not be creating more jobs, but it sure is creating more work.

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.

Also seen fanart of someone who looks like Soraka from League of Legends, which makes me hopeful they're the sort of character with heal focused kit.

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.

I understand there's a librarian support character which kinda sounds like a critical hit to my vibe. I should maybe reinstall...

I made the mistake of playing it too early when there weren't any support characters that fit my vibe. =(

Is the outline part of the font? I'm used to doing my text outlining in photoshop by hand and would never get an effect like that.

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?

It could get darker. Betting sites haven't started creating "universities" that offers degrees in "Prediction Market Economics" which are really just a loophole to get people to take out non-dischargeable student loans then gamble them away.

The most professional looking one is by a security company but it doesn't have any reviews at all and it's over 5x more expensive than the others. I'll bet I could commission someone with a 3D printer and hardware experience to make one for about that price.

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.

And bigger things like the game respawning overworld activities every time you kill a boss, basically the open world equivalent of adding sawdust to your sausage.

It's little things like the new telekinesis ability pulling the same concrete and rebar chunks out of thin air every time, when Control's telekinesis would pick up nearby objects or rip chunks out of whatever surface you were standing on.

It just feels like half the game I expected. Like they had to cut half the features and polish to rush for a deadline in a way they didn't for the original Control.

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've spent so much of my time in this game either absentminded looking for them out of habit and intentionally trying to find one when I can't figure out how else I'm supposed to get someplace. It would have saved me a lot of time to be told up front that the devs didn't bother.
010
finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
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.

Cleaned out my fridge and then raided the bakery isle for delicious wheat and wheat byproducts this morning.

finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The way secrets in the game hides it's secrets just feels more like the way Ubisoft scatters resource cache in their open world games than the dopamine hit you got in Control when discovering breakable walls.

The level design still feels a lot less impressive than Controls. There are some neat places, but the vast majority feels like variations on the same wrecked cityscape.

finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
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
I wish they'd gone the Dishonored 2 route of letting you choose between two characters at the start for different experiences, letting you pick Jesse if you wanted the classic Control ranged combat and Dylan if you wanted the new melee ranged combat.
010
finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The choice to go melee only for the combat system is not one I'm a fan of to be honest. Combined with extremely limited health pickups it's very easy to find yourself in a no-win scenario where you have a sliver of health and can't get more because there's too many enemies to let you pick off any.

finalfrog.bsky.social @finalfrog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The level design no longer feels like you're exploring a strange space, it feels like every other super hero game on the market where you run around Manhattan except all the challenges and enemies are Control themed.

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.

It seems a very Elon thing to do something like make a metric for how likely they are to make money from a user viewing ads or subscribing and ban users who they don't expect to ever make a profit off of directly.

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.

Thanks for the reminder. I just went downstairs to take my meds and came back up with a snack, no meds inside me, and no memory that I'd gone down for another reason.

Game is fun! But I couldn't keep playing when they decided to fund their pro-privacy campaign by fryyvat fgbyra pryroevgl jropnz sbbgntr.

It looked more like a fortnite mod than Mount & Blade with godmode.

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

Last time I was building lore pages on Obsidian Publish I had to keep a separate (Secrets) versions of every page which I often lost track of, leading a lot of secrets that got forgotten or rewritten because I couldn't find them but vaguely remembered what they were.

Getting back into the TTRPG worldbuilding game and just discovered how to embed secrets into Obsidian notes so that they don't get published by Obsidian Publish.

Never been happier to discover that I was mistakenly delivered something I didn't order. (I ordered gluten free crepe mix and didn't notice I got sent normal crepe mix)

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.

So you'll have a long conversation where two characters are bemoaning a life ruining tragedy and then the last line by one of the characters will be "Let's clear the debris blocking our path" spoken with a cheerful intonation.

It's not that the whole thing is a mess, by and large it's pretty good, but the performance of 1 out of every 10 lines feels inconsistent with the rest of the dialogue, like it was recorded in a completely different session from the others and the actor wasn't given proper context.
