there's a lot of corporate employment tropes that people rightfully loathe but I feel the one I hear the least about that is pretty high on the scale of what makes that environment so fucking dreadful is being surrounded by people who are deeply incurious and incapable of helping themselves

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

It would not be an exaggeration to say Microsoft has singlehandedly obliterated a large % of the North American AAA industry at this point

I think the biggest part preventing me from enjoying most of the NES library is having grown up with so many Flash games that may as well have been NES games, anything that doesn't exceed the length or complexity of something you would find on Albino Blacksheep in the 00's leaves me uninterested

"there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" seems to create two parties: the "...therefore, i should do my best to avoid the most unethical things" type, and the "...so it doesn't matter and i'm free to do whatever" type

Beer isn't addictive. It makes you more sociable and is a great way to spend time with friends. That's why I have eight of them a day: because I love talking to my friends so much

I know it's where we're at in 2026 and we all know it, but it bears stating the obvious that every major company in the world is openly throwing a tantrum that people expect them to provide goods and services instead of just sending them a payment of $200 every month for nothing

FFXIV's new Beastmaster class is, unfortunately, exactly what we've come to expect from 'limited jobs'. It's a fun idea with a terrible anchor around its neck, forever doomed to minigame activity status, literally banned from most of the game in ways other classes aren't.

I don't want to be nostalgic anymore. I'm tired of being catered to. I don't want to forever hear the same artistic voices I heard in my youth, now amplified, slowed and reverbed for dramatic effect. I want new worlds. I want new stories. I want new voices. Please!

I made a joke about Cloudflare a few days ago but their piss-poor detection is genuinely making it impossible to use many of the sites I've been using for years, I get stuck in an authentication loop on nearly every site that uses it now, and for no discernible reason other than "fuck you"

working on a draft for my next devlog post, will probably share a little bit more info about the game instead of just being another "here are my thoughts so far" kind of write-up. I've been largely hesitant to talk too much about it because I don't have anything fun or flashy to show yet, [...]

When MMOs changed from "Here's a world, fuck around in it!" to "Here's your specific job and the specific way it must be done or else. Also here are the stakes. We've formalized all potential personal interaction activities into Productions. Do not fuck around. DO YOUR JOB." ...I lost interest.

I know I dog on FFXIV a lot, but it's frustrating how there's so many cool things they used to do that they just... Don't do anymore. It's frustrating knowing that they've got the juice but they refuse to serve it to you.
The boss arena of First Coil of Bahamut - Turn 1, a series of large hexagons at varying heights. Notably not a perfect circle or square arena.The First Coil of Bahamut - Turn 1, after defeating a quick mini-boss the party enters a large open area with floating platforms leading up to the boss of the zone.Final Coil of Bahamut, Turn 3 - The party must split up into two separate groups of four and fight mobs while activating a series of pressure pads before access to the boss fight opens up (the floating arena in the back of the room.)Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 1, the party must sneak (or fight) through a quick gauntlet of patrolling mobs before they can reach the boss arena. Sneaking is optimal, as alerting one of the patrols to your presence activates the glowing egg-like structures around the room and spawns adds the party must kill.

the fastest way to find the most unhinged people in your community (so you can remove them) is to simply put up some sort of token support for minorities. even if it's just a flag, it will make these people so pissed off that they cannot help but shit their pants in fury. it rules
