iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

If you're an id Software fan, this is the game that inspired Wolfenstein 3D.

Arguing "we decided we can ignore the rights of some people" - because you want to win or whatever else - grants those in power a permanent blank check to remove rights from anyone, for any reason or no reason. Trans rights are just the canary in the coal mine, signalling all rights are endangered.

Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion: Pathetic

Me playing Crysis - a game that basically marketed itself as "no, your PC *cannot* run this at max settings; I don't care what you have, the answer is still no" - fifteen years after release:

I'm trying to teach my eldest how to recognize and resist this habit. Him: But I want the thing. Me: I have laid out my offer for getting the thing. Him: [superfluous side argument] Me: That does not affect the offer I stated. Him: But I want the thing. Me: And I told you how to get it. Etc.

Hey I think it should be said with the next round of "Discord age verification" scares and panic coming around Do NOT drop everything and run to a website you heard about 30 min ago and had not looked into at all The amount of vibe coded slop preying upon people's worry is alarming

I enjoyed that brief moment last year when McDonalds price-gouged its food high enough that the nice restaurants that hadn't followed suit started advertising "for $10 you can eat a crappy burger in your car, or sit down here and have a better one." Then McDs asked where their young patrons went.

The part that's going to take a bit to sink in for most people is that none of these gestapo assholes have the money and it's never getting paid back. The administration gave them our money and then ruined them. Not to get the money back. Just because they COULD. Because that's who they are.

The ICE signing bonus scam can be circumvented by simply holding onto the $50k until the period it could be revoked ends. This requires self-control of your impulses, awareness of the potential consequences of your actions, and risk mitigation. Naturally, the people who committed 1/6 fell for it.

The Kansas City Shuffle is a con-artist maneuver that relies on the mark believing they are too clever to be fooled. The mark believes that they understand the con, but the con-artist has actually leveraged that confidence to predict the mark's behavior and manipulate conditions such that they lose.

Well, the good news is that my ex is finally settling and my divorce may be finalized in two weeks. The bad news is that it will likely include a clause to move out of the marital home in 30 days from signing. I make roughly 125% of the rent I need to pay. This is going to take some planning.

Gemini would claim the two planes should occupy the same space at different altitudes. Copilot would accept blame for the mistake and then immediately do it again. Claude would overhear a domestic flight's pilot joke about redirecting to Bermuda and actually redirect them.

They pull out a book by Jon Haidt to say they're "more tolerant," but the actual data behind the claim reveals that conservatism does not believe in any universalism of the rules. All their rules and values are conditional. The only thing that matters is that the in-group always wins by any means.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

You want eloquent and accurate? I'd like to offer "Parascient", "Nesapient", and "Paralogical". There's not a single person in the administration who knows what those words mean.

"I want to truly live the values displayed by the public persona of people who turned out to be narcissists" is not a mark against you. Someone else had a facade of a beautiful house, one they could never let anyone enter or see behind. You put in the work to build the real version. That's amazing.

If you had "they blatantly lied about feature X and the truth is worse than we feared because it's invasive to the point of clear malicious intent" on your bingo card, go ahead and mark every one of those spaces for every last aspect of these things.

I can handle most of the changes at my store, even including light bulbs moving from housewares to sporting goods, but nuts and trail mix are now up front near baking instead of down at the last six aisles that all the other snacks are on, and that is antithetical to the snack shopping experience.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Look around at this absolutely fucked-up economy. Everything is fake. Nothing is advertised. Nothing is delivered as promised. Everything is a ripoff, everything is a scam, no one speaking publicly with a job title is telling the truth. It's not thinking. It's just the best fake they could steal.

They're still hoping you don't peek behind the curtain. That's what all the "shut up, don't ask questions, submit or get left behind" nonsense is about. But I'll close with what I hope is a chuckle. Because I remember the Dreamcast ads. They've been telling this story for almost 30 years, folks.
