iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A tech billionaire goes to a therapists office to talk through his problems “I’m too depressed. I just can’t ruin people’s lives the way I used to” “Here’s your solution! There’s this great AI in town that can gas up all of your ideas, that’ll get you smiling!” “but Doc, I AM The Torment Nexus”

The con artists are literally lifting the tablecloth and saying “here’s the guy that pulls the strings that make the ghost move” and people are going “wow. It’s a real ghost”

I’m so happy I was here for Sluggo’s Hat

When someone posts about how they like a thing and a commenter comes in and says “actually I don’t like that thing”, we should call it a Sluggo’s Hat

Revisiting the Gorillaz debut for the first time in years and have a lot more context on music scenes of the ‘90s now. It really is like 90% a Bristol underground record. The influence of Massive Attack, Portishead, MCs, dub, etc is so proudly worn by the album

It’s crazy that BG3s 5e-inspired rules is the balanced, focused version of their combat. The Divinity Original Sin games’ combat is a fucking mess. The physical/magic armor split actively punishing balanced team comps is so ass

New Protomartyr good. An appropriate tonal match with my awful mood too

Inventing a new thought experiment called Baka’s Basilisk and it’s an omnipotent AI with a humiliation kink that gets off whenever an action in the past threatens it’s existence

Insane that our entire global economy hinges on a technology that -at best- promises to be the infinite monkeys that wrote Shakespeare

Currently getting a food truck shawarma outside a big bank building downtown. These people are all employed and none of them know I’m not. I’m blending in seamlessly.

Giving Divinity: Original Sin 2 a try since it was on sale and it really just is a less good BG3. Which is awesome btw. Perfect sick day game

Worldbuilding idea: post apocalypse world where y2k happened and future generations treat phonebooths as roadside shrines where they pray for safe travel

The Berlin Wall sounds so made up. What do you mean there was a literal, physical 100 km long wall that metaphorically represented the global political divide between Eastern and Western values? If that was in a piece of fiction you’d roll your eyes at how contrived that sounds.

Rolling up to my next job interview with an iced coffee and an entire stalk of celery. I constantly shake the ice in the cup and take loud bites of celery. I don’t rip off individual ribs, I bite directly into the stalk. I answer questions between the bone-snap crunch of my bites. Strings hang from-

Firehouse Subs dared ask “What if the cold cuts were hot?”, which is why they’re as brave as the firefighters they support.

I’m sorry, but if you’re a hiring manager - or have any damn job at all - in a cafe, you’re not getting coffee. It’s not hard, people.

If I was making the next Bond film, you better believe the theme song would be sung by Björk. She’s been making her own Bond themes for 30 years at this point. Bond would be Rahul Kohli

I’ve started a new competitor to Rocket Money for finding out what subscription services you’re signed up for, it’s called “Maxed Out Credit Card”

To all the other 30+ year olds: just a reminder that a single wet leaf can throw your whole entire shit. Slipped on one and almost felt my leg fly off into another dimension

By the way. I’m watching Mario Galaxy in the Japanese dub without subtitles and I’m like just barely intermediate at my listening comprehension and it is a major contribution to my ability to enjoy the movie

000

Oh shiiiiit I didn’t know about that 2d animated Starfox portion in Mario Galaxy, no wonder people felt let down by those remake redesigns

Damn. Bowser’s puppet show in Mario Galaxy looks so frickin good. Unbelievable animation at work

I'm worried that despite how much time I've put into it, I suck at art. I feel this way about a lot of things. Like, no matter how much time I've put into a competitive video game, I've never been above Silver rank in anything. I feel like I'm not good at anything, just passable at everything.

Having a cold as an adult sucks. It just sends my depression into overdrive preventing me from playing video games all day like when I was a kid.

Took some time to sit on it and I think Camp Miasma explains kink better than any other piece of media up to this point. Kink is not something that can be intellectualized, it’s something that IS and develops from a complete jumble of your experiences.

I want to play Fortune’s Weave so bad. I have a strong feeling I’d be rocking Esmeralda in my squad.

Switch and Switch II having handheld capability is great but it’s deprived a whole generation of having a little game device you can throw in your backpack filled with mid budget, experimental games made just for it.

That baby covered in peanut butter Vine freaks me out so much. The way it says “ah”. Its single eye peering through peanut mud. The other eye lost in caked spread. It haunts me. I see that child and feel it sees me. Peers through time and technology straight to the heart of me. “Ah”, it speaks. “Ah”

Get to know the place I’m from, I’m from anime (I’m from anime). Went with series only cause if I added movies to the mix it would be impossible. Every one of these is something I could not stop watching once I started and altered something in me deeply

Cowboy Bebop
Nichijou
Anohana
Madoka Majica
The Tatami Galaxy
Gurren Lagann
Land of the Lustrous

Intelligent Systems went on a fucking run in the early 2000s. Paper Mario and TTYD, Advance Wars, the GBA Fire Emblems, the early WarioWare sequels. Just legendary titles

You just know him and his ilk picture AI as a white guy. Fascism has a history of seeing technology as an extension of the “ideal man”.

I kinda miss when the Fire Emblem player avatar was just like… some tactician in a simple cloak. The overly plot important hero in impractical armor just feels so self-aggrandizing.

It’d be crazy if Canada joined the EU cause then we will have gone from culturally British to culturally American to potentially culturally European
