Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Going full rebuild after a 2-2 start seems drastic, but one of those wins was essentially magic and our o-line is cooked and all of our starters died so maybe it's a good call. I trust Howie on this one. 110
Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Fwiw, I've been loving my EP-133. Couldn't get used to the SP-404 workflow and the EP just feels a bit more intuitive to me. 010
Reposted by Call Me KanielEvilToaster @eviltoaster.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art" 151210346

Reposted by Call Me KanielRiley MacLeod @rcmacleod.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'd argue we see a similar line when the media calls secular things "religions" or "cults"--it's a linguistic shorthand that can set a tone for how we do or don't engage with or interrogate a topic, and you can use that to dismiss something or to make it seem more powerful 2161

Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This was one of the things that REALLY irked me about Diablo 4. There were genuinely emotionally evocative moments that were IMMEDIATELY punctuated by a fade back in and an item hurling itself out of the corpse of the NPC that had just died. Do people not catch stuff like this in testing? 100

Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The character models don't really blow me away with what was shown in the trailer, but the environment and lighting updates really do. The move from the pre-rendered backgrounds in Hyrule Castle Town to full camera control and no loading really brings that zone to life. 000
Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 08/09/2026That is to say, I joked that putting a dedicated jump button in the forthcoming OoT remake ruins it, but it makes me think back to the part in OoT where you need to backflip over a low gate to get to a heart piece or something and it stumped us during our initial playthrough and that's just gone now 100
Call Me Kaniel @kannydlein.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The more I revisit the N64 through replay series like the Ultra 64 podcast and @jeffgerstmann.com's most recent science project, through the homebrew scene, and just replaying things on OG hardware it becomes much more evident that so much of its lasting charm is from being Limitations: The Console. 100
