iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I can only contact my senator - Eric Scmitt of Missouri - through a contact form on his website. So I did that.

Topic: Small Business
Subject: Hawks
Message: Hi, Senator.

I just wanted to ask, as one of your constituents who is coincidentally from Atlanta, do you know that Hawks are *also* birds?

I have enclosed a Wikipedia link to help you out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk

I figure this might be helpful the next time you get on TV and need to start explaining the difference between things. As a Missouri resident, I can't have my senator embarrassing himself like this on the regular.

Please read the Wikipedia article and submit a 500-word essay to me by Monday.

Thank you.

Another terrible thing about this industry contracting is every time someone talented also reports getting laid off, you start hyperventilating because it means more competition from other really good writers in this space. We're all fighting over the tiniest crumbs and it fucking sucks.

One of the really interesting things about Onimusha WOTS is how it feels like multiple different parts stuck together in not-always elegant ways. Like, sometimes the cutscene direction and cinematography floors me, same with some cutscene animation, and sometimes it's boring as hell.

I noticed the other day that my wife (with help from @kamkonek.bsky.social) put this on our car.

I do think one thing you always have to think about with AI and whether or not it’s inevitable is that the worst morons in the world really want you to use it and maybe that’s bad.

Boy the final boss in Onimusha WOTS sure ups the fucking ante, huh.

Does any game developer love big evil towers as much as Capcom

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Back during their NXT days, Sami Zayn pitched a ska gimmick for him and Neville. Apparently, it was approved by Dusty at the time but for some reason didn't move forward.

I have been told from several game journalists over the years that Ben Satterly would approach them at events he happened to be at and cajoled them to join his Clash of Clans clan. And would frequently play to get the clan's points up.

Woke up today kind of hoping I dreamed that news about Pac. Genuinely gutted, how the hell does that happen. He was my age and obviously in way better shape than I am. Kind of makes you consider how sudden things can happen.

Questing party that finds out at the end of the quest that other mages don’t need to charge spells or use MP, their mage was just bad.

LRT: I've definitely heard of some journalists that sell things they get and it makes me immediately lose respect for them. It doesn't matter if it's a dumb little statue or a MtG card, you cannot profit off it, even a few cents. Keep, throw, or give it away. Those are your only options.

Watching Reb boot up Dragon’s Dogma II again and wow they really did a lot of work to make this thing run better. Even on a Series S it’s a notable difference.

the RE movie protag is a certified goofball

Resident Evil movie comic
Bryan laughs constantly he lifts up a ladder and chucks it
It hits a zombie dog and he says “stupid dog”
Then he runs away continuing his laughing
He appears out the upper door of a barn, looks down to the far ground, realizing his mistake

That third Ganryu fight in Onimusha is one of the best boss fights I have seen in an action game.

Overall really liked Resident Evil but man people were not kidding about that ending being a pain point. That cements it as being a Resident Evil movie, succumbing to the series curse of falling apart at the end.

Thinking about this side quest in Mass Effect where Shepard does something for a Volus. When you turn it in, the Volus said "You humans wouldn't have done this if there were no reward" and Shepard VEHEMENTLY disagrees. And as they disagree, the "Here's EXP, you leveled up" animation plays.

I will say, my experience on Bluesky has been way better since they let me opt out of Discover feeds.
