the fifa guy's response is very: "i'm paying you in exposure!"

an absolutely unsurprising turn of events.

i love this. it has very "let me tell you about my spells and socery" energy. :)

rest in peace cimoooooooo. your interest in yu-gi-oh and the things you built around it were awesome. my thoughts are with his friends and family.

i heartily disagree with real_mstar_author. part of what makes reading interesting is reading complexity. one of the things i actively dislike about modern music, for example, is how stripped down the lyrics are. i WANT TO be engaged by your wordplay. "more approachable prose" is an ok idea, but

uh huh. the iran war. peace. i think you should consult a dictionary. you don't understand the word. also, while you're there, you should look up idiot. you'll find a picture of yourself [and several other maga, too.]

a post that screams, "help! i'm from the 1850's. i need to get home!"

hey washington post: that's just because the world has lost it's mind. if we were still all stable and sane, we'd be calling this stuff out and it'd have actual consequences, but you guys normalized a lot of this stuff [like you're still normalizing trump] and so that ship has [somewhat] sailed.

ok. now that things have slowed down to a bit more of a crawl and i'm not just pouring myself into sorting out streaming stuff... we're here! current project - and this'll be slow going: autumn and winter.

an screen capture of a fresh-editor for linux window. the editor has the following text typed into it:

---quote-begins-here---

I am upstairs in my study when the letter arrives.

I know that there's post because the butler rings the bell announcing it. One ring for visitors, two rings for more modest affairs. Like mail.

I'm in the middle of attempting to compose an essay, so my reaction isn't immediate. Rather, I try to keep my composure and stay my hand.

Methodically, the quill I'm writing with scratches ink across the page, filling it with my neat hand writing. There's a point to be made, here, about formality. About how it drives the world forward.

Even though this essay isn't strictly about etiquette, there are enough abstract hints in that direction that my mind keeps turning on the heart of that particular matter. I want to lay the quill down. To descend the many stairs that lead to the vestibule and to lay my eyes on the letter. It can only really be from one person. But my thoughts - the ebb and flow of my mind as it wanders hither and yon across the vast, intractable expanse of this subject pushes me ever onward until I've dotted every i and crossed every t.

When, at last, I inscribe a full stop, I breathe in. I allow my body to slow down. I let my nostrils smell the oak wood of the desk before me as my eyes take in the cyclical nature of my written argument, hands skimming across the warm parchment as it absorbs my whit and repartee. I'm not sure I'm happy with the way I've framed my thoughts, but this will have to do for now.

Heaving, I push my body upward, raising my eyes toward the window and the midday sun outside as it pours across the greenery of the back garden.

re: bari weiss taking over cnn. more fool you. when it became apparent that cnn was sort of drifting rightward anyway, i quit reading them. [that was about two years ago now, and i wish i'd done it sooner.] it's unsurprising/expected. if big media wants to set itself on fire, good luck to them

greywolfe @greywolfe.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

ok. i've been playing duel masters [for the ps2] for the stream. and it's a very ok game. perfectly 5/10. if you were into the cards, you'd probably like it. but it is THE GRINDIEST GRINDY GAME THAT I EVER DID GRIND good lord. i'm not always sure what early designers thought they were doing.

greywolfe @greywolfe.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

hey, mike: fuck you. the military-industrial complex is on autopilot and costing america WAY MORE than just making sure people have reasonable access to a safety net. you COULD fix that, but you're not interested, because the republican way is synonymous with sadism.

greywolfe @greywolfe.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

as mentioned yesterday on stream: NO STREAM today. i will be picking up with a new game TOMORROW. got sick. medication made me super unproductive. all the planning work i was going to do this week is now being done between today and tomorrow. whoops :)

thanks to everyone who visited season one of the mtg progression series. it was a blast to put together. we won't be doing this again for a while [new project coming soon], but i had a great time just exploring the old sets.

We cap off season one of the MTG Progression series with some Elder Dragon Highlander. This version JUST plays the dragons and has cards that span the length of time from Alpha to Alliances. It's going to be pretty durdly by design. Watch here: www.twitch.tv/lostwolfe

as an on-again, off-again writer, this is just dumb. yes, your ideas matter, they're what gets the reader through the door. but how you write is at least 50% of what makes them stay. that's your voice. they're reading your work to hear it. otherwise, what are you and they even doing here?

060

greywolfe @greywolfe.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

as a now-elder-bear, i think it's fair to say that i'm on the side of the "next generation" here. we can do better for everyone than we currently are. and that you're not interested in that says a lot more about you than it does about them.

At the end of Season 1 of the Magic Progression series, I just want to hang out a little and play some Magic with old decks. So that's what we're doing. Watch here: www.twitch.tv/lostwolfe

as expected. well done, polis. *sacarasmclap*

ok. done for today. here's the output. i stripped out the text, because that's spoilery and gives away what we're playing next. ;)

building the new thing for the next game we're going to stream. in my graphics editor, i've just called one layer "connection top." and the second one is "connection bottom." EYEWAGGLE.

ok. did a small test. i have a shrewd idea i know what we're doing after season 1 of the magic progression series is done.

i specifically hate the insinuation [although she means it, because she's saying it out loud and thus believes it] that democrats are not americans. hers's some french for you, young lady: fuck right off with that shit.

this is a really amazing bit of art. it gets the colours just right and i love the way they did the headlights for the car.

i've been listening to someone play through final fantasy six and all my brain wants to do now is play that. lol.
