I made a FFXIV mod that replaces every texture in the game with a photo of Doug Walker. welcome to FFXIV: Dougtrail
The FFXIV: Dawntrail title screen. The expansion's logo is the lower half of Doug Walker's face (because the expansion logo texture is the Japanese and English variants stacked vertically). The background is a bright, washed-out cacophony of Doug Walker that barely resembles the original title screen.A photo of Tuliyollal, taken outside the aetheryte plaza and facing upwards towards the sea. The clouds in the sky are replaced with a faint mixture of Doug Walker 2D planes. The buildings towards the ground are built out of tiling Doug Walker textures. Due to the in-game weather and the color palette of the Dougs, everything looks very grey-brown-ish.My FFXIV hotbars, hovering over Displacement. Every action on the hotbar is an image of Doug Walker. The action description is almost completely illegible, as it contrasts poorly against the tooltip's background of tiling Doug Walkers. The tooltip showing the action name is slightly more legible, as the background is a very stretched out photo of Doug Walker. (This is because the background textures use nine grid slicing.)The mod folder open in KDE Dolphin. It has 1,607 files in it and uses 2 GiB of space.

(not to excuse how unethical it is to partner with a gambling company, or ignoring the fact that their age verification is functioning via mass processing of user data, but both of those ideas probably didn't come from the same employee and there's no reason to form a conspiracy around that)

Discord's age estimation uses the games you play as part of how it determines if you're a "Teen" or "Adult". I think they should go a step further and make it so if you actively play Roblox while every other sign points to you being an adult your account gets suspended

I think the feature is kind of stupid (especially when platforms like Discord will fetch the post content directly anyways), but this change would cripple the feature and some people like the feature, so probably not a wise idea

his name is lethargic. he's an IRC chatbot I wrote in 2011 and has been through IRC, skype, and is now on discord (in private servers with friends.) the algorithm has been unchanged since the beginning.
Lethargic’s algorithm

Lethargic’s primary response generator uses a bespoke algorithm that uses neither templates nor markov chains.
Take the user’s input:
	Hello lethargic, how are you doing today?
Then pick a random message from a dataset of old IRC logs
	brb throwing my computer against the wall
Then we interlace these two sentences, one word at a time, excluding ending punctuation:
	Hello brb lethargic, throwing how my are computer you against doing the today wallLethargic's algorithm continued
Hello brb lethargic, throwing how my are computer you against doing the today wall
We replace “lethargic” with “me” and other pronouns so that they are inverted (like ELIZA)
	Hello brb me, throwing how your are computer me against doing the today wall
Finally we pass this amalgamation into google translate a bunch of times through multiple languages to get our response:
	Hey, wait a minute, how's your computer doing today after I hit my head against a wall?

(I don't want to split extension environments into separate packages since that's really obnoxious to work with, but I also don't think typescript is powerful enough to let me load a different env per file path; I tried with composite but it just doesn't work well)
