No Satisfactory co-op stream tonight because Nyx's glorious new job is getting in the way. We might be aiming for her days off on a week-by-week basis from now on, we'll see. Might stream some Fallout tonight to make up.

Got bombarded with like 4 stress nightmares in a row this morning and my nerves are already overloaded from that, so I don't think I've got any gas in the creative tank today. I'm gonna take a sick day - which frustrates me because I'm so close yet so far, but it is what it is.

GenSlop gets me so worked up these days that I'm tempted to start an anti-LLM newsletter or podcast or something so I have a slightly more professional place to vent my frustrations into the void, even if no one stops by to read it

I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but... considering what was going on at the time, I think it's completely fair to say it was the lung-collapsing laugh we all needed - and continue to come back to DB for in Current Year.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

I used to wonder why my webserver, the sites on which receive *maybe* a couple of legitimate users *in an entire day*, would go into vaporlock for up to half a minute as I try to access it. Then I realized: Oh. The content thieves. Grand Theft Autocorrect. Of course.

I'm seeing a few folks unaware during the whole "moving from Tapas to ComicFury" scenario that bears repeating: ComicFury does NOT have an app! Do not download whatever fake CF app is out there. CF has a custom-built mobile viewer on most of its hosted sites. Use the browser website!!

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

I dunno man, it's kind of unsettling to see rampant gushing and uncritical praise for the new Gears of War game while the people who made it are literally being laid off. The very least you could do is mention the layoffs

Finding the one mod that's been quietly ruining your whole game experience is truly the modern day needle in a haystack, a moment that is both triumphant and absolutely infuriating from top to bottom

Tonight was Massive Undertakings Night. Spud's still putting together the various things we'll need to have a safe & steady nuclear power operation, I'm partway through placing 160 refineries to make just one item, and Nyx? She's building a late-game factory from base ore. Huge project!

Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

My modded Fallout playthrough's dead in the water because, not once but twice, I got about 15 hours in before my saves started getting corrupted and causing infinite loading screens. And none of the conventional wisdom I could find online was capable of fixing it. I sneakily suspect Win11.
