iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

If your game features one and only one instance of a false wall that I can simply walk through to find a secret, I will be suing you for the head trauma my character endures from the other 99% of the time I spend walking into walls just to check. #gamedev

The hardest thing in politics is explaining to liberals that you hate them, but that it doesn't automatically make you a conservative and that you hate them even more. These guys konami code is up up down down right right start.

Ugh, so many job applications have started asking for a "short 2 minute video talking about X" - presumably as an AI application deterrent - but it feels so scummy. Fully enables profiling based on age, race, culture, appearance, etc, and it's a fucking slog to set up a camera to look professional.

Has @kurzgesagt.org been taken over by VCs? Their recent output feels just a tad more corporate than it used to. Been trying to weed out the content I can trust a bit more recently. Unsubbed from @veritasium.bsky.social recently as well.

If anyone is interested, I run a #hockey pool every year with a bunch of gamer / #dota / #esports homies via discord! Cheap $20 buy in, and we do an async draft where you just pick and tag the next person. Super chill, but super fun. If you wanna join, lmk! Draft starts tomorrow!

You are playing against Team Spirit. You do not ban Yatoro's NP because you can counter it. You lose to Team Spirit. You ban Yatoro's NP in game 2 because you're not an idiot. #TI15

I was so fucking confused why #teamliquid was in the lower bracket today. Checked my youtube history and apparently youtube auto-played games 2 and 3 from the GROUP stage when I was catching up on last nights games. God dammit. 🫠

Aight, so here's a fun moral dilemma - I'm making an event poster and reached out to a photog to license his photo and get it in full res. He lets me know he lost the hard drive with the original, but would edit out the watermark for me. What I receive is an AI edited copy with obvious artifacts.

Woops here I go again, replaying the game I got for my 12th birthday because it happened to be the absolute peak of game design and development and nothing else has ever been as good since. Its not nostalgia. Things from my youth WERE the best.

Wasn't intending to watch a 2 hour video, but I tossed on @hazelisonline.bsky.social's "2 hours of climate solutions" and 10-week old Amos here decided he needed to play, and promptly pass out on my lap. Guess I'm stuck here forever.

Platner SA allegation is so unsurprising. You're telling me the veteran with PTSD, an alcohol problem and a nazi tattoo turned out to be a piece of shit? Wow, whodathunk. Too many lefties got duped by a guy with a few good flash cards.

Did the venture capitalists just start dropping stacks again all at once? Job market has been a desert for almost a year, and then yesterday alone I was contacted by 4 separate recruiters about different positions. So weird.

How much money do you think #google just spent to round a couple corners and add gradients?

Screenshot of an app folder on a smart phone containing only google apps. Some of the apps have been updated to a more "modern" design with slightly rounded corners, and gradient colours, though the icons are very similar to previous iterations.

Work training videos always be like: "Imagine a scenario where your coworker gives the wrong answer during a presentation. Do you: A. Punch him in the face, yell a racist obscenity, and break the conference room window. B. Politely interject by raising your hand, and stating the correction."

I have finally done it. I've fully eliminated work, and achieved a techno-anarchist utopia. The beavers shall never want again. Free maple pastries for all. #Timberborn

The only reason I play Timberborn is to play out my fantasy of a post-work utopia where AIs do real work instead of just making your grandma racist on facebook. 301 beavers free of the burden of wage slavery, 200 more to go.

Dammit I've been duped. Someone told me to register for the @ndp.ca a few weeks back to get my vote in for the new leader. Turns out you needed to be a member since January to be able to vote in the leadership election. Missed it by 2 weeks. I want my $10 back. Or donated to the greens on my behalf.

Huh, that's a little goofy. They discounted STS 1 for the launch of STS2, which means if you own the bundle, it gets discounted proportionally by the cost of the two items together, and it's 10% cheaper to just buy the bundle to get STS2. Little inadvertent launch discount there. #SlayTheSpire
