Time for just lose myself for a while in the visual and auditory wonder of this game. Join me as I bonk, slash & stab through Dark Fantasy 17th Century Seville, and I gripe about self-serving fuckos who use the aesthetics of dead religions to serve their greedy asses. Live: www.twitch.tv/el_samio

We killed the High Wills and purged The Grievous Miracle from Cvstodia. We're done, right? We saved the dark fantasy Andalucia! Wrong! Penitence never truly ends. We're back as El Penitente in Blasphemous II, a sleeker, more difficult sequel. Going live at www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A promo collage for my playthrough of Blasphemous 1 and 2.

The background this time is an amazing meme from latinamerican internet in which three ladies with high fashion, long nails and fat asses ask for loud dancing music. The joke is that in this case these are three bosses of the game Blasphemous II and the music they're asking for is Carlos Viola's IMPECCABLE soundtrack. The text says: "Pongan Carlos Viola (Put Carlos Viola on)", "Ay si la de Corona de Siete Azahares (Aw yes, the Corona de Siete Azahares song)", "Pero que truene la bocina (But loud enough to break the speaker)".

Fear. Trembling. Faith. Despair. We continue reading the mopiest philosopher of the 19th century and ask ourselves what is the point over and over. Reading and pondering live at www.twitch.tv/El_Samio

Three panels of Soren Kierkegaard languishing in a dramatic fashion while saying "Despair. Despair! Despaaaaaaaaaair!" (It's even funnier if you read it like a Metal Gear Solid Game Over).

Hello Gamers who wish to stimulate their minds. Today I play Blasphemous 1 New Game+. I think there's a good chance we finish this today. The best fights and music of the game are looming. Join me at www.twitch.tv/el_samio for some Educational Pro Gaming.

A promo collage for my playthrough of Blasphemous 1 and 2.

The background comes from the Blasphemous 1 Wounds of Eventide DLC. In it, we see El Penitente sit on a gentle boat, sword to the side, using a rosary to pray. The colores are muted and covered in a blue hue.

So here's the 9 foundational Samio games. A couple of all time classics, some more obscure stuff, but it's the mixture of these components that have shaped my garish 80s cyberpunk brawler high concept ass. I'll explain:

A 3x3 list of "My 9 Games: The 9 Games That Shaped Who I Am"

The games are: Planescape: Torment, Final Fight, Shin Megami Tensei, Super Mario Bros. 3, Baldur's Gate II, Street Fighter II, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (A game by Bryan Reynolds), Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and Disco Elysium.

Superbosses, sequence breaking, platforming challenges for mysterious women with tattooed thighs. Maybe even a revolt against dark and inscrutable metaphysical forces that twist the life of mortals to suit their jealous whims. Join me as we clear New Game+1 in Blasphemous 1: www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A promo collage for my playthrough of Blasphemous 1 and 2.

The background comes from the Blasphemous 1 art book, in which we see The Penitent One approach Deogracias. Deogracias is a gigantic human, bound in thick, coarse rope, wearing a green sambenito/capirote. His face is covered with a rope mask, in the style of medieval beekeepers. Deogracias is holding a scroll with a portrait of a figure looking upwards to the heavens in anguish.

Hello nerds who in their despair have embraced irony and melancholy. In my never-ending reading backlog tuesdays, we're going to start reading and criticizing Soren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. We're going to face head on the problem of faith in modernity, live at www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A panel from "Action Philosophers!" Issue 6, page 29. In it we see a tiny, child-like, cartoon Jean Paul Sartre holding a lollipop and pointing to an equally cartoony Kierkegaard. Sartre asks "Are YOU my daddy?" which was a thing people could say innocently 20 years ago.

The other text panels say: "Kierkegaard's works were rediscovered by academia in the 1960's, when existentialism was all the rage. Because he's morbid and talks about choices a lot, many regard Kierkegaard as "The father of existentialism"..."

"But that seems tough to reconcile with his fundamentally Religious thinking:"

I see the abysmal communication rates in philosophical publishing, the abusive editorials and the decaying institutional spaces and despaired. Is that all one can hope to do? Well fuck that, turns out being a cartoon blob on the internet has better reach than working at the old institute.

Hey samigang, today I'm playing Blasphemous again. I think we're going to finish our first run, so we're going to finish collecting and fight some really cool bosses. But penitence doesn't end there. We'll immediately start New Game+ for the best ending. Seeya in about an hour!

Samio (unc who wants to help you learn philosophy) @samio.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Hello people. Today we're going to keep reading The German Ideology. This is our last session! We'll keep reading until we finish part one. If we have time and energy, we can have a cool feedback session where we share our opinions & things we found interesting. In an hour at www.twitch.tv/el_samio

We're a couple of hours away from the final session of Get Into Mathematical Logic. We're gonna have a recap and talk about what was the point of it all, and what is there to be done with these new skills. But also, and this is very important, making fun of Leibniz.

A presentation slide talking about logic. It has some text in the middle, a zoomed up portrait of Gottfried Leibniz, and some details about him.

The text says:

Most of these ideas came from the Early Modernity European Powdered Wig Gang. Particularly, Leibniz:
“The only way to rectify our reasonings is to make them as tangible as those of the Mathematicians, so that we can find our error at a glance, and when there are disputes among persons, we can simply say: Let us calculate, without further ado, to see who is right.”

And below Leibniz' portrait: "Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716), the most Powdered Wig of them all."

Hello gamers, today I'll start my streamed playthrough of some of my favorite videogames of all time: Blasphemous I and II. Not only am I pretty good at these games, I'm also a fan of Goya and the victim of a traumatic mexican catholic childhood, so we're going to talk about art and catholicism too

Hello people from the internet. Today we're going to continue our reading of The German Ideology. Today I made a summary so that we don't start out abruptly with the text. Here's a sneak peek: Seeya at 6pm México time (about an hour) at www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A libreoffice slide. It's a black background with white text.

The contents are about German Idealism. To the right are paintings of (in order, top to bottom) Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

The text reads: "Kant’s philosophy, transcendental idealism, became The New Hot Thing in the zone. Several philosophers took Kant as basis and decided to use his philosophy to solve the problems of The Enlightenment.
The most notable of these are Fichte, Schelling and Hegel."

I know it's not good practice to crosspost from twitter, but I have to give credit to the poster on this. It's legitimately interesting. The reason why LLMs sound like gormless cringey sycophants is because they were trained on gormless cringey sycophant texts. GIGO stands undefeated.

A screenshot from the nazi bar site formerly known as twitter. In the screenshot, the user "paula" (@paularambles) on July 30 posted the following:
"i love reading pre-chatgpt reddit answers and realizing just how much LLMs sound like redditors"

embedded in *her* post is a reddit screenshot from 4 years ago in which a redditor starts a text with "You're absolutely right that [...]", in a cadence and tone identical to most common LLM chatbots.

A screenshot from a 4 year old reddit thread. The commentaries from the users include forced and stilted phrases very common in commercial LLMs, such as "Thanks for letting me know though, big fella." or "You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have replied like that."

This is fucking hilarious in a really pathetic way. Check out the stats for the year before and this year where they let people do the exam online, on their computers. This is for medicine btw, the most demanded degree at UNAM, and thus the one with the highest exam requirements.

A graph that describes the amount of aspiring students and the grades they got for the entry exam in 2025.

It says "Distribución Aciertos Medicina CU 2025" which means "Distribution of Correct Answers for Medicine in Ciudad Universitaria for the year 2025".

EXCLUSIVE HOMEWORK CONTENT ONLY AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF MY DISCORD

$A libre office Write document that includes homework for first order logic models. It reads: "Some pointers on notation: Mathematicians use curly braces “ { } ” to represent sets. For now we can take sets somewhat naively, as abstract mathematical objects that are defined entirely by the elements they hold. So for example, the Set “A” that is composed of the elements 1 and 2 would be represented as: A: { 1, 2 } Since a set is defined entirely on its elements, the order does not matter. { 2, 1 } is the same set as { 1, 2 }. Repeats are also redundant: {1, 1, 1, 2} is just { 1, 2 }. Mathematicians use the parenthesis for ordered n-tuplets (tuplets, triplets, etc), but to not cause overlap with our formulas, we’ll use the angle brackets “ ⟨ ⟩ ” to represent ordered sequences. ⟨1,2⟩ represents the ordered tuple 1 to 2. ⟨1,2,1⟩ would be the triplet 1 to 2 to 1. Unlike sets, here the order DOES matter. ⟨1,2⟩ is not the same as ⟨2,1⟩. Also here repeats do matter, ⟨1,1⟩ is not just “⟨1⟩”. Ordered tuplets will belong in sets too, so they’ll be inside curly brackets { like this }. Evalute the following formulas to see if they are true or false under the model. Model 1 Domain: {a, b, c} P_: {a, b} R_ _: { ⟨a,b⟩, ⟨c, a⟩ } Formulas: 1) Pa"$
