iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

a chef's chef Engages Deeply w/ the art of cooking, most often this is like doing something technically impressive & complex or doing something super basic at an incredibly high level of competence. in both cases, great skill makes it look effortless. a game designer's game designer makes Big Walk.

like the fact that character customization is something you do for your friends (you literally do each others' makeup w a big makeup brush next to a big mirror to change your guy's colors, it's so cute wtf)

favorite general category of movie monster (zombie, vampire, what-have-you) and favorite specific instance of that monster—or if not favorites, ones that come to mind and which you find you have strong feelings about in this moment, while stuck in traffic?

like the porn bots are obvious, it's phishing links and fake OF accounts and suchwhat. these woowoo mad libs ones are always just bizarre.i know several Tech Guys Who Go to Burning Man-type idiots who love this garbage, but they're the target audience, not the type of people who make these things.

ones like this are at least briefly worth thinking about to me. about what kind of vapid dipshit thinks this SV Guru garbage is interesting enough to bother spinning up a bot to spit it out. about what that idiot thinks they're doing with their life, what value they think this nonsense has.

the bots here are getting really annoying, dude. i've had to block one to three bot follows per day for a while now. feels like 2022ish twitter, when the botastrophe started ramping up in earnest.

at first this reply had me like "okay" bcz while it's the sort of reply i'd enjoy getting from one of the handful of occultistas i'm moots with, it's always weird when someone drops some prose in your replies. then i realized it was a robot that just spouts vague gibberish.

Screenshot of a reply to my quote-tweeted bluesky tweet, by an account called @khaderbai dot bsky dot social. It says "The office is a temple with fluorescent lighting. Every age has its secret diagrams; ours merely leaves them beside the printer."

we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

liberalizing reforms (driven mostly by a desire for a tidy chart of 6 recognized artes) eventually led to the recategorization of certain Execrant Artes as "Occult" instead, a categorization acknowledging their existence but recognizing the Covenant's limited accumulated knowledge on their practice.

040

this is both because Covenant academics abhor irregular & asymmetric figures, and because Neverurgy is officially seen as solely the product of the Abysmal Heresy (despite its practice long predating the Covenant) and so is one of the Execrant Artes, along with Embercraft & even more obscure magics.

150

taxonomies of Sublime Arts are imperfect & political—not a true reflection of reality (or irreality, as may be). case in point: Liminal artes are said to be those which are (or emanate from) thresholds unto irreality, and nothing is more irreal than the Never. Yet Neverurgy is classed an Occult ars.

it takes a decent while. i don't remember how long or what the exact circumstances for it are, but i feel like corpse duration had something to do with whether the body had been fully looted or not. 🤔 it may also just be a bug.
