iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

pretty much every other piece of FG jargon used in casual conversation (frame 1, the OS, that’s mix, etc.) gets code switched but calling any technique or novel approach to a problem tech took over my entire vocabulary like IMMEDIATELY

it's always salad. impossible to get gamers to eat veggies at the tournament so get em in beforehand.

sometimes a friend sends you an invite to a fighting game lobby in the middle of the morning unprompted and your morning plan becomes a 70 game set or something

late after caliburst today but it felt pretty good to be like "i should try doing X" last night, lab it 3 times, and then implement it in games today

maybe it's half a trillion dollars allocated to lobbying

like i know silicon valley is used to dealing with ridiculous sums of money but half a trillion in costs for a company that has 2% of that in annual revenue and no clear way to stop their most expensive R&D activity is fucking bonkers

i wonder how the field is going to settle after anthropic collapses for telling the world with a serious face they have to spend half a trillion dollars to build their machine god and openai gets collatted when everyone realizes they were second most competent after *that*

relatedly it's kinda depressing that feeding orders i want randoms to heed to my friend with a very bog standard masculine voice that articulates well. they listen to him SUPER reliably.

it’s going to be 30c/85f tomorrow i hate being right though now the piano has hit the kind of out of tune that tyler the creator might sample in a track, chords have a nice warble to them

i love making these people mad by killing them and just talking about dumb fluffy gay stuff over their bodies but it's shitty to be immersed in this like when the csgo players called me slurs it felt like they were just going through the motions, this feels like i'm surrounded by bigots

you can tell guilty gear is the masher's game because the only people who get hotels for the gear major are mashing f5 anytime something goes wrong

bsky.app/profile/raha... there's some journals backing this advice, but it's supposed to significantly improve chances of not contracting long term symptoms. good luck!

cabinet achievements; - took a bunch of games off someone i usually just get rolled by - caught up with friends and made some new ones - gave someone an xrd intro (and accidentally threw their burst :X) - went two days without internet - got a brand new tent back into the bag it came in a+ event

like his priorities seem to be - he is in no way responsible for improving this - there exists a fall guy for this set of problems going forward - his plan is how this gets improved - things maybe get better in that order

not directly related to the point but this mike beckerman dude on the thread seems to encapsulate everything i have hated about working with or under former msft management and i loathe that his type finds success

cabinet in the woods ruled also i slept for 11 hours last night god i love real beds

modern games also get *patched*. devs get to have an opinion when new tech is found, and they seem to want to keep the surface area relatively constant. a game's solution spread probably grows more after it's EOLd than during support

having to take controlled substances rules because it means i have to go in person and wait in line at a pharmacy with like 5 people coughing up lungs if i want to have a real attention span for the next month

in the rich constellation of things that sucks about microsoft games’ latest round of awful is this is at least partially because they wanted to try and make the netflix model work for video games and it’s been painfully apparent to anyone who could do basic math that it would never fucking work.

this guy isn't stupid either, he's a fucking *doctor*, he's just hooked on youtube to the point where i can't point out very real problems with the platform without it being an attack on him

040

lydia @lydz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

he keeps suggesting stuff from YT videos to me and they keep being totally irrelevant to our situation. and he's already elected to pick a fight with me for being a hater because i was bemoaning how the youtube algorithm doesn't incentivize things that a human actually wants

120

lydia @lydz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

plus current children have way fewer *video* ads than we did... i remember talking to a parent before covid, she said there's no modern must have toy like tickle me elmo. there's certainly still advertising vectors but it seems much harder to bombard a child's attention span into desire

021

lydia @lydz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

just having gone through a mall with someone who insisted on popping in to basically every shop recently; there's also an UPSETTING amount of blind box gambling being marketed at kids. like if i were a parent i wouldn't want my kids anywhere near a modern toy store.

oh my god i would’ve started crying were you using lead free solder? i tried it a couple times and gave up, switched to lead. it was just way too finicky for my skills and such a small job

lydia @lydz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

same here, i had to do it first thing in the morning before i had any coffee or else i was shaking too much to get the 30AWG wire to sit still enough to not fling solder off the pad
