Unless it's dictated by physics, there's art everywhere. That's what makes us human.

Even with content creators about my hobbies, sometimes I feel like some of those channels turned into subtle rage bait. Or at least when I consumed their content, I felt like I was supposed to be angry about something

I was very lucky to have a disciplined self-feeder. I'd leave a bowl of kibble out for her overnight if she got peckish and that seemed to tide her over until I woke up to give her what she really wanted: canned food.

From what I experienced as a software developer for a decade and half, I can't imagine most things are significantly faster or better. And I haven't really found a thing that isn't ground breaking. Most things I use now are moderner versions of things I could've found years ago.

Troubleshooting an issue at work. Look at the log file. See the event and see something weird going on. Look into the code to see what's happening. See that nobody thought that an important piece of information that could've pointed to a root cause in minutes should not be logged by default. 🤷‍♀️

One thing in the back of my mind with indoor air quality is CO2 concentration. If I close my windows, it'll creep to 1500PPM within the day (I have an Aranet4). So it's like... how do I get rid of the stale indoor air without making the indoor air quality worse again.

I feel like this can happen if someone sits on that side of the company for too long as well. There's a game publisher whose CEO was a developer when it started, but their statements make me feel like they've lost it a while ago.

This is why I never obfuscated my HTML+CSS on a site I went to that let people create pages. Anyone who wanted to learn has a nice clean (maybe) example. Anyone who wanted a “fancy” page without doing the work would be met with frustration

I initially tried it out, but the thought that I needed a rolling sub to access games to maybe beat them before the sub cost overran the game’s sale price didn’t sit well with me

Sony lost that battle, but won anyway because the author couldn’t afford the legal fees. And he, Randy Linden, went on to do great things anyway. He was also the guy that ported Doom to the SNES

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

I remember in this forum I went to, someone always stirred up a stink and I kept thinking ”if they seem so miserable, why are they here?” I think this also helps explain it

a great dissection of why a lot of fandom drama doesn't only boil down to "these people are thinking too much about [insert series here] and need to touch grass." there's another layer to the way folks get obsessed (for parasocial/self-important rewriting/clout reasons, etc) that gets glossed over

by asneakyfox on tumblr:

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts.

I was at the local Japanese grocery store here in SoCal and wanted to pick up a bento. Nearly passed on all of them because the only greens were a small portion of tempura and seaweed salad. And I'm not sure if the former counts at that point.

Are we at a point in video game history that the lack of a real time day-night cycle in games must be some sort of lore thing?

Shuffy @shuffy.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I don’t know if it’s an actual term but I like that what I call “only doing the dailies in gacha games” as playing the game in “maintenance mode” gained a little traction elsewhere

This is definitely going to stir up a pot elsewhere, but I feel like FF6 defined the "look and feel" of Final Fantasy, but FF7 refined and cemented it. But also it was my first Final Fantasy so I might be biased

Thank you for writing the article! As much as I wish this bubble would finally pop, the other side of me wonders what'll happen in the aftermath. I can't imagine we'll be going back to what it was like before the pandemic in my life time at this rate.
