Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 20hSomeone give me Gabriel Ultrakill's @, I wanna block him too 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 20hFootnotes ranting interminably about the quality of their pizza 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 20hThis reads like me bragging like "I'm so good my writing is genius by accident" but it is something that happens, in my experience. I wrote this line and didn't even realize it's a light joke. Now imagine that but like, for the whole emotional core of the story. Surely it happens to some extent 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 20hDone a lot of writing this week, thinking about all the cool lines and details I put in my script and wondering whether people might latch onto like, some perfunctory thing that's in there and say it's the most significant best piece of writing in it 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 21hI once called my mom from a wall-mounted rotary phone, those ones with the ear cup and the funnel mic thing 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 21hJokes aside I'm not that old but growing up in the global south was cool because I got to use a lot of fuckass old tech way past its relevancy. We had dialup all the way through to 2009 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Movie where a guy travels to the past and uses his credit card, causing past-guy to suspect his identity's been stolen resulting in future-guy having to evade the police lest he be arrested & look himself in the eye, thus destroying the whole timeline 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Pretty much. All my lefty friends are really annoyed at him. But also the Bolsonaro family has a weird cultish chokehold on the Brazilian right-wing not unlike what MAGA has done to the Republicans 021
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is gonna sound like a lame answer but I'd genuinely want to pick Jesus. The first century is such a monumental turning point in history that I'd like to just take him aside and ask "what the fuck even happened there man" 121
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You can't animate a cartoon character on the toilet with a big newspaper covering their junk these days. Nobody reads papers anymore cause of that damn phone, and the phone is too small to cover up anything 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I am begging bluesky to send 2FA codes in standard monospace type because I can never tell whether the O's are in fact 0's 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Antipsychotics is like those dnd wild magic dice rolls. You'll be doing research on your pills and you'll come across stuff that's like "yeah this is a drug that might make you grow boobs and also die" 120
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Reminiscing of the time my doctors put me on lurasidone and when I looked up the side effects table one of the rarer ones was "sudden death" 110
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thank you, I had to angle my right hand very peculiarly to get the reference right 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Strange thought I had while feeding the cats tonight 221
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think we've been locked into the bad ending of the web ever since ads became the primary mode of monetization. Every shitty thing that came after is just ways to serve more ads and technologies to parse user data and sell more ads 030
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Like many couples, they separate if you double-dip into them 070
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026All this to say, I don't want more Fallout. I want something new that is Fallout but even better 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And the world really is the one thing that carried the franchise all this way. These games were never particularly fun to play beyond their commitment to being a true solo roleplay experience, which was the other unique thing about them that I'm not sure anyone wants to bring back at this point 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's hard to take factions like the Brotherhood seriously when you know the kind of nonsensical shit they're up to in Fallout 3 and 4, for example. There's just too much "lore debt" for the world to feel worth engaging with at this point 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The setting has decayed as the franchise has gotten bigger. Most of this is due to bad writing on the part of everyone involved (Bethesda most of all, but Black Isle and Obsidian are not without blame either) but also cause it just got too big for its own good and began eating itself Star Wars style 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The cool thing about Fallout used to be the setting and the visual identity built around it. It was a living, breathing world built on top of a really strong juxtaposition of optimistic mid-century americana and the ruined fuckass world inextricably linked to it. And that's gone now 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Everyone's talking about Obsidian, Bethesda and Fallout these days and my opinion as a former Fallout freak is I just don't care at all anymore 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You know it seems to me like a lot of problems with American democracy would be much ameliorated if voting were compulsory 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026W and K are not very common letters in the Portuguese language, it's true 120
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They're really good at the whole "shoot and run around in third person and also do like one other mechanic maybe" 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The heavy metals in my bloodstream have granted me superior autobiographical memory also 030
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"What manner o' thing is your crocodile?" "It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad as it hath breadth: it is just so high as it is, and moves with its own organs: it lives by that which nourisheth it; and the elements once out of it, it transmigrates." "'Tis a strange fuckin' serpent" 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Runner up, Though this be fucking, there is method in't 100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Cudgel thy brains no more about it, for your fucking ass will not mend its pace with beating 110
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Not how I thought Roko's Basilisk was gonna shake out 150
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Early 2010s performance disparity between PC and consoles was dire. People liked to clown on nerds who complained about this stuff but it's easy to forget it was a real problem back when 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I've been a pessimist about things ever since the clock was invented I think. At that point our days were numbered 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I feel this kind of advice tends to get garbled because narrative structure is one of those things that you must nail as a writer but most people aren't trained to see from the outside. Sometimes saving stuff for later is just plain good pacing 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Had a fun moment as I found a dead spider on the mattress in my bed which I guess I must have killed at some point by sleeping too hard 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That and failing to ask clarifying questions in regular communication. You can tell people you don't understand what they mean. You can ask people if you're unsure about what they said. It's allowed 020
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Weird thing I've come across recently is: reader reads something you wrote. Reader decides it's somehow a reference to some pop culture media/franchise they recognize. Reader dismisses the writing and surrounding context without interrogating further 120
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I imagine crypto/blockchain guys must be fuming now that they're putting all the "data" in a "center" somewhere. They were big on decentralization, I seem to recall (I look to the side and tap my earpiece) Really? 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Doesn't matter which race you pick even. Truly an equal-opportunity hater 2120
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Never really thought about how the first person you meet in Oblivion immediately starts being racist at you on principle 1100
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You can refuse to do anything without consequences. It's the "not doing" part that gets you, usually 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Not done a lot of traveling as someone who writes a lot of hotel-adjacent fiction so these are a godsend if I ever need to torment any characters with bizarre shower engineering shenanigans, thank you 010
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Argumentum ad homies; A logical fallacy that occurs when your interlocutor attacks your position based on insults to your buddies. Your pals and friendos 000
Living Antimatter @jideaum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Favorite track is Haywire Heart, surprisingly enough. Never knew I wanted a frantic hard rock-adjacent song with these vocals 000
