Hell, even pretty common shit makes it a requirement to be your own advocate. I was thrilled when I finally found a pharmacy that actually cares enough to check my meds for milk! I shudder to think of those with rarer conditions

Most of the ballot measures were very direct. Sometimes we've discussed merits, but none of that was needed this time: "Should we make cops work with ICE?" Fuck no! "Should we tax rich people more and give it to schools and to build the rail system?" Fuck yes! Simple shit.

Turns out that it was talking about things like steel bear traps, bear baiting, hound hunting, and similar shit. A bunch of stuff the state had banned as cruelty, they were trying to claim should be protected as tradition Fuck that. I'm so glad that my state puts out ballot informationals, kupo!

The one that was worded by assholes was talking about protecting "traditional hunting methods", which my first thought was Native methods, but that already has protection, I thought? So I looked it up. The NRA supported it, top of the list. Huge red flag there, so I looked deeper.

Sat down and did voting with my polycule, discussing the initiatives and candidates. There was basically zero discussion this cycle. There was one initiative that was worded by assholes, that I had to go check backgrounds on online (re: hunting; way outside any of my spec), but otherwise direct.

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

I will forever be vaguely annoyed that _underlining_, *bolding*, and /italisizing/ things isn't common interpretation, that those things are applied instead of left as written intent, and that people think emoji and emoticons are equivalent. I keep this annoyance, as a pretty little treat, kupo.

Most 3d games are still fundamentally 2d, just on different axis. It's why 3d *movement* is so notable. Development time is roughly the same overall, unless there's some portion or other that comes naturally (ConcernedApe/pixel art and Stardew jumps to mind), measured across industry.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Very much "I can't be racist: I've never hate crime'd someone!" kind of thinking. So many people just do not care about others, and think that's a positive thing.

Yeah; there have been a few instances of one really shitty dude attacking sites he had a bone to pick with AI, like The Cutting Room Floor getting pretty savaged by him. But a *lot* of smaller sites are taking heavy hits... Fuck AI

I was specifically thinking that anyone trying to make a Phantasy Star 5 would absolutely be committing some level of heresy, too. Ignoring that I can only think of two people I'd trust to make it good, they really shouldn't try. It's perfect as is.

I know I probably seem silly screaming about something like this on the internet where this happens ALL the time but it just breaks my heart that people let their precious memories be commodified and turned into marketing material to the point where they feel the need to Defend the Brand.

The thinking is horrific, but not remotely uncommon... "Be glad you have a job" might as well be a bumper sticker for a lot of shitty middle managers

One of the big things I've noticed is that these dweebs seem to have a "Single-player in an MMO" kinda mentality, where they are asocial to the point that they don't actually want to do anything outside of make-bank-account-go-up and consume media mindlessly. They really do think of others as NPCs…

A lot of people talk about games like they're reviewing them, and this is one of Kimimi's beautiful pieces about *their* interaction with the game, instead. Their story, and their experiences with it. And it's fantastic. I don't think enough people talk about art this way (esp. re: gaming), kupo!

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I mean... yes. No one should use algorithmic feeds. That's always been a bad idea. We've talked about this for literal decades. It's *worse* that AI is burning resources to do that even more inefficiently, yes, and I'm glad people are waking up, but that's been the problem too...

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

To be more specific, the "passive" harm of those people is something that they very often don't/can't consider. And there's a huge swath of people who take advantage of that to empower themselves over others, especially by technological scaling of violations of the social contract.

010

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

There are a couple of those types: Those who fuck off into the mountains, which I support. And those who still expect all the benefits of society while refusing to actually participate in it, due to siloing and disconnectedness, which I don't. People *need* connection to be people.

But so much of music is *social*, and so many people are missing out on so much who only listen to "their" music. There's already something of an issue that there's so little overlap and shared culture just generally, and there are *so many people* who already just... refuse to interact with folks

Coregulation was a massive part of Pratchett's work life balance, with friends and family and chickens and whatnot. You'll find something that works for it; even having the self awareness to check in shows a good, healthy start toward that

That sounds like how several writers have talked about their books. One of the suggestions was to seek out new inspirations and new skills so they still felt like they were "writing" even if they weren't putting down words. Like travel, tabletop gaming, or studying history, for example, kupo!
