François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 15hThanks for sharing this. It does lend a bit of context to how we "met" on bsky as well. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Hey there, I feel summoned. You can find audio clips here: ao.kalimonster.net/unpromptedao.kalimonster.netIndex of /unprompted 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 11/10/2026For some, oh, these are merely dashes, long dashes. But those who know, those with trained eyes, those with long-standing experience know, and they know well; these are dashes from the Land of Em. I don't write like AI, IT WRITES LIKE ME AND THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY STOLE FROM ME. 120
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I wanted to try carbon-filtering vodka, so I wanted to find the nastiest vodka to work from. It should have: * Russian imagery * fake-Cyrillic font * plastic, opaque bottle. We found one that had a bear, in a gray plastic bottle, and that bear wore a ushanka. Did the trick nicely. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Whaaaaat, did it move forward? Did it happen? I literally added it to my wishlist early September, 2020. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I had a lay down and ten minutes or so later, my vision gradually restored. There was naught but a scorch mark where the bulb had been. There but for the grace of god or somesuch, eh? I was nine years old when I had my first FAFO incident and I took process a whole lot more seriously thereafter. 120
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I had my own and once I decided to dismantle a cube into its components. Each bulb had probably a dozen (or more?) meters of very fine magnesium wire. I set one off with a AA battery. And then I set one off with 120 V mains. I literally went blind. 120
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Frankie Boyle was completely right. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They often show up doing the AV Undercover series, where bands pick a song and cover it. I quite liked their cover of "Carry On My Wayward Son". My sister, whose taste in music is nowhere near as aggressive as mine, very did not. That will give you the safest means of dipping toes in the GWAR pool. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just finished "Quantum Void" yesterday. I resent the use of "punk" as a genre adjective, but this game is so very CRT-punk. CRT monitors on everything, C 1541 drive noises, mechanical keyboard clatters. Explore desolate ships and unravel a techo-mystery, with optional VR for extra spice. 081
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026GWAR is a hardcore punk/heavy metal-adjacent "art" band that have, over 30 years, built up an enormous mythology. In short, they're based in Antartica, have raised an army of pengiuns, and seek the destruction of Earth. They're pretty fun but a bit like marmite. Those who like them like them a lot. 140
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Is it you vs. GWAR? You have picked some strong opposition. 120
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Your cutoff date for this "AI switch" is about 2023, give or take a year to either side. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Baaaaack in the day, computer-controlled opponents were called AI, but they're not "AI" in the sense we use the term today. It's like bicycles and cargo planes, they're both vehicles but one is vastly more expensive, complex and overkill for short-range commuting. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Neat. But not "AI" in the context of large language models, IP theft, water waste, etc. And I'd bet money it's just conventional algorithms, and certainly hand-written. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Honest question: Are you suggesting the alien is controlled by a neural net or a simpler algorithm and not conflating "comptuer controlled opponent" with "large language model"? 110

François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's a real reach (esp. since I don't have VR) but somebody supposedly got Operation Tango working with VR rigs, it is... adjacent to this game in vibe, and it wouldn't cost you a thing to try if you know somebody who has it. And you do know somebody. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Aaw. I've got one sitting unused (Saitek X-52, not a superb one by any means) since we've put a certain complex spaceship game to bed. I had found a mod but it was slopcoded AND breaks multiplayer compatibility too, apparently. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026How, uhh, HOTAS-friendly is it? You perked my interest greatly with coop. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It would be unseemly going down a list of 1940's... "personalities" and rate their ability to stand up to me in a brawl, so I won't. But I did think about it long enough to post this. And I bet Hegseth's never once swung a fist. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Same time, next week, and we're gonna marathon that until it's done. And if you're really lucky and/or I finish earlier than expected, did you know she also wrote poetry? And that poetry is at least as good as her literature? 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm doing that RIGHT NOW. We'll discover if I have a soul and if there's a lord to take mercy on it. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Following you has been entertaining and educational. I regret I have but one follow to give. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oh is that what that was? A friend had posted some "Post your favourite elf" and I posted, like Rewdalf Cortez, most assuredly not an elf (and explaining will be nonsense and take several bsks), got me a "YESSS" by an attractive girl whose account I didn't investigate and forgot about until now. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What do you need on Sunday, 14:00 EST? More Irene Iddesleigh. I feel like I'm doing glossolalia for two hours, but listeners attest there's words and grammar, just not meaning. 14:00 EST. twitch.tv/fdejeuner 112
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You can't sound authoritive unless you can recite all kinds of stats on a weapon's destructionment like a pocket clancy. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think if you explicitly click on the green subscribe button above, it takes you a subscribe page with one more click. It'll use your bsky account for this. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I get into these "words as commonly used" versus "strict definition" arguments with my wife; fun ones, mostly. "Volatile" gets me wound up. I'm with you. My wife would not be, in the case of "decimate". 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Clearly those are very good boys. The goodest of goode boyes. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Fact is, frankly, 300 characters doesn't come remotely close to encompassing the word salad that starts in my brain and stops at a keyboard. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Soooo the missus pointed out these bsky boys have a leaflet thing now. It feels like they're trying to do a Substack but without the nazis (I hope). And so whatever rambles I've been posting on Steam will also show up there, plus other related gaming, etc. things. voyageurs.leaflet.pubvoyageurs.leaflet.pubLes Voyageurs 210
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026An article on CBC was handwringing about the horrors of selling e-scooters that could go over 50 km/hr. And then, breathlessly, mentioning some could do 120. I sat bolt upright and annoyed the missus with my sudden enthusiasm for e-scooters. Now I need to book time at Mosport... 011
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026iRACING. Haha, I mean, I'm completely serious, but I think "agonizingly detailed simulationist motorsport" may not be your thing. But it is #1 for me. Elite Dangerous was #2. Yeah, lots of laser pew, but you could do space trading or explore the realistically-far corners of the galaxy. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You've just used the French acronym, I'll have you know. I am quite okay with this. 130
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Notoriously corporate-friendly US ruled that AI output can't be copyrighted. So you are literally correct. It's not even stealing. 010
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What sort of answers were you expecting? It's the sort of thing where I'd be questioning the interviewer back quite a bit more. 111
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Now if only we could have "less CEOs, more workers". 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Let's just do one ourselves. We'll call it "Movie." It will have Plot. We may need some Actors. And then we re-release it a few times. When that well is dry, we'll make a sequel, Movie 2. And then in five years, remaster Movie. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026"Cut half your adjectives," Montrith's writing professor advised. Those adjectives fetch up in this novel. The novel gets bigger by the year. 130
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You have no idea how bad this novel was. So I will try and help. I read this. I read this bit, and many others like it. What on earth is going on? 130
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Irene Iddesleigh? The worst novel ever? In two hours. (14:00 EST) Though before we hit that, we've got one last chapter of the previous book to do. twitch.tv/fdejeuner 022
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I would be willing to bet that those people hunting monsters might let you pop in when the mood takes you. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There was this old software that could swap out faces for other, synchronized faces. It didn't use AI, but attempts to find this software have not gone well for me. I'm also trying to limit the amount of Canadian I put out, the world can't handle too much. 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Lemme send you some celebretory harissa. 000
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Like this: "Heeeeeere babybabybabybaby! Hooeeee! Hooeeee!" Yours might be different based on the baby dialects. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I had this uncomfortable realization later that I might have accidentally given a right answer. I was trying to mess it up, I promise! 100
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In the old days, cleaning brass was difficult work. If guests were coming by, you put the best, clean brass on the top, and it was said to be "top brass" or your best work. The dirtier brass was put on the bottom of the stack and the worst was "bottom brass", as hidden as you could. 110
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Challenges like, "Make some dogs to reflect the whimsies of His Royal Highness, who really likes his dogs." Or just do your own thing. This was my take. It's called "Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts". 030
François T. Déjeuner @francoisdejeuner.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I know you don't do computer games, but what would you say if I told you I have one that's literally about making marginalia? 110
