Sometimes you have an idea and it isn't good. But that doesn't mean you can't have good ideas. It just means that one idea wasn't good. So you should try again. Nobody has Only Good Ideas.

I did a programming of some search algorithms today. It was neat!

Has Bluesky done Discourse on The Giving Tree yet? I bet we could get a lot of mileage out of that.

"Why aren't smart people with subject matter expertise taking my stray thoughts seriously?" is a question that can, in fact, be answered.

Sometimes I see Discourse and am once again reminded that sometimes people who think they're talking about the Same Thing are actually talking about Different Things.

I do not think there are Universal Truths about human nature. Some things are more generalizable than others, certainly. But one should never be too surprised by exceptions.

I turned 32 years old today, which I think means I'm 35 in Bluesky years?

"To whom do you extend grace, to whom do you deny it, and why?" is a series of question a lot of people should ask themselves.

All right, I've played the video game, which means I can now play the other video game. My life is pretty good, all things considered.

I'm playing Might and Magic 7 literally right now.

Pac-Man was originally going to be called "Puck Man" (derived from the Japanese phrase "paku paku taberu", meaning gobbling something up) but they decided to change it to "Pac-Man" in North America out of fear that vandals would deface cabinets to make the P into an F.

If you think your movement is inevitably ascendant and anyone who disagrees is destined for failure, I'm going to wonder why on earth you get so mad at people who yell at you on the internet.

Eleven now. Have to do another one! 11. They should make an RPG like Rogue Trader but for Fantasy Warhammer and you should get a Slann buddy.

A new like, which means I have to do another one! 10. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime This is another "could be its own thing based on the original concept" kind of idea.

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

9. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri A remake with a slightly easier to understand interface would be nice. This is another short one.

021

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

8. Dragon Quest Monsters They should make another one. That's the entire thought.

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

7. Persona 2 Duology This one would not necessarily require being a Persona Game. In fact, given what Persona has become as a series, being a Persona game might actively interfere with the idea.

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

6. System Shock 3 (or whatever they want to call it) System Shock? After already doing BioShock? Yes. Though System Shock was the progenitor of BioShock, it's a different enough thing to merit separate discussion.

5. Wario, Master of Disguise Wario Master of Disguise is a weird little platformer with an interesting premise that's somewhat hindered by touch controls and level design. Banger soundtrack, though.

Took a break for lunch, now let's see.... 4. La-Mulana I'm a sucker for La-Mulana 1 and 2. I love the idea of exploring ancient ruins and uncovering lost history. I don't think a La-Mulana 3 is planned (I think they're working on a game in the same genre? I'm not sure), but let's dream, anyway.

3. Paper Mario The first two Paper Mario games are some of the best RPGs I've ever played. The later Paper Mario games are.... Aggressively Not. It's high time we had a return to triumph!

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

2. Might and Magic The original Might and Magic RPGs are a weird beast, fantasy games that reveal themselves to be sci-fi games while retaining the original fantasy adventure spirit.* *Except Might and Magic IX, which is not a complete game, and Might and Magic X, which is.... its own thing.

I still don't know what the heck a stochastic parrot is supposed to be, nor why I'm supposed to think it's a stupid idea.

As somebody who went to BYU I feel compelled to state that I never encountered any trace of "soaking", "jump humping" or anything like that. I am not certain they are real things. I did hear about one student getting busted for operating a meth lab in his dorm, though.

Look, what Benson Boone does with his spare time is his business alone, but I can't help but wonder if you really should start dancing at the movies *after* taking off your blue jeans. Just seems like it invites peril.

Knowing the comedic arc of the universe, we're eventually going to end up with people arguing that Mass Producing Electronic Sentiences to perform uncompensated labor is Completely Fine, but it's Totally Unacceptable to call them slurs.

Random fiction idea: Character with magical prophetic tattoos that talk to them. Everyone thinks they're insane. And they are insane. Of course they're insane, they've got magical prophetic tattoos that talk to them! That'd drive anyone batty, given enough time.

Discourse? I'd rather have Datcourse (Is destroyed by a rain of bears)

If you can't explain the how or why, you're going to have trouble justifying the what.

Heroes of Might and Magic TV Show. It will *have* to get weird.

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

You ever witness Discourse and feel like different people are actually talking about different things even though they're all using the Same Label? I get that feeling sometimes.

Human preferences, especially concerning aesthetics, are not strictly rational, and that's probably fine, but it does mean you see a lot of arguments where people accuse other people of being hypocrites for disliking X when they like Y and.... Yeah, that's how that usually works.

A Frogs Gent @frogsgent.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Many jokes are good for a laugh, but sometimes people make jokes and then say "but this is actually true, there are people who actually think specifically this" and... I don't know if that's wise all the time. But of course, such is the nature of the human experience.

Back in my day, the expected value problem that tripped people up involved doors and a goat.

Remake of The Big O. Either animated or Live Action. Nobody will make this, nobody should make this, but I want it anyway.

Humans are prone to the wackiest things, which can be a source of both great frustration and great amusement.

Okay but like, if every single time a woman goes to the doctor for any reason she's Aggressively Asked if she wants to try GLP-1s, you can see why that might be worth interrogating, right
