I need a word for "inverse"-parasocial behaviors. Not like healthy behaviors; but where instead of some random, internet nobody developing a false-sense of intimacy towards someone popular, it's where one guy feels entitled to everyone else's adoration and intimacy from everyone on the internet.

If we had a functioning government in this country, we should make a law against this.

If there's something you care about, create a physical record now - get the book, print it out, make your own recording and make sure to keep it safe for the next few decades They will absolutely try to rewrite history, and will flood the zone with made-up noise - make records now

My scrap veggie and bone bags in the freezer were finally full today, so going to pull out the big, tall stock pot from the back of the cupboard and roast the bones and veggies and make a stock. If I am feeling adventurous, I might actually try to turn this into a consommé tomorrow.

Excited to hear that Ella Woolsey is gonna be doing a show here in Denver next month. I hope I get to catch their set while they are here, i feel like the next time they are back in town they could be a huge hit/sold out.

It’s weird living through the time period where every massive corporation and company is racing to make the “everything app” with their “everything machine” while every year I get older I become more and more infatuated with tools and devices that do one thing really, really well.

163

Remember when the “clone your dead grandmother with AI” companies were all the rage. Whatever happened to them? I still can’t imagine paying an AI company to “clone” a loved one and then having to pay them hostage money ad infinitum for the rest of your life. What a weird business model.

There are certain games which I'm honestly surprised don't exist. Today's entry in "Games that don't exist, but really should" is a legit Cannonball Run adaptation. A multiplayer non-open-world, cross-country race, on state highways and interstates, between multiple crew with customizable cars.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Fellow GenXers: remember how often we were bombarded with images of late-period USSR? Old, decrepit men in charge, clinging to an ossified ideology. Political repression, nakedly false propaganda, empty shelves, food shortages, inadequate health care, deep-seated cynicism, crumbling infrastructure

i love Mark Ferrari's art so much. here is a video of me emulating one of his pieces (with proper palette cycling) on real Dreamcast hardware. (showing both time-of-day palettes for the lighting and cycling palette ranges for the snow)

It is not without irony that in the early days, people who brought up the government prosecution Aaron Swartz and AI defenders would dismissively say “not the same! Swartz broke into a closet and attempted to evade ip bans” and now AI companies are straight up bragging about hacking governments.

Just heard a colleague on another team refer to engineering as “bot herding” and I feel like we are on track to just straight up calling it “claude plantation overseers” before the year is out. “Sometimes you gotta whip those Claudes to harvest the code faster! We got a deadline!!!”

decided i wanted gba size and put together this version. the stats are a bit much but at the same time i can make the case for them so maybe its okay for it to be overwhelming. also on the fence about the top bit; i like the idea of the location and time always being visible, but we'll see.

I tried really hard not to put every single Sierra game that marked my childhood but only the most important ones, it doesn't mean they were the best games of all time, just that they shaped me the most.

9 game covers showcasing Space Quest 1, Hero's Quest aka Quest For Glory 1, King's Quest 4, Police Quest 2, Phantasmagoria, Doom, Descent, Half Life and World of Warcraft

In all seriousness, I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to James Burke, who inspired a young 10 year old kid to love the confluence of science, engineering and history when I first saw Connections in reruns on PBS. It was influential to me beyond words, I cannot imagine one without the others.

As the old saying goes “ignore history! Cause I’m sure that’s never gonna happen again!!” which you’d definitely learn, but only in history class.

There's been many improvements, but the biggest thing is that I brought everything over to Wing Commander II!
