iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Someone had broken into a neighbour's house (I assume evading the police), taken a shower, changed their clothes and took off with the neighbour's clothing bin before dumping it. Some GTA level shit.

Just a heads up - if you get anyone claiming to be me on Roblox with anything sus - they are 100% not me. Same with discord. If you're uncertain, you can check via a PGP message first: vorlias.nz/pgp.txt. Only I will be able to respond to what you sent me via the encryption.

The diversity games have been missing, honestly.

If you need a programmer/experienced game developer for your game (Roblox or otherwise) DM me. Ideally full time stuff, but can do part time in the interim. I am located in New Zealand so will be remote. I have lots of experience with Roblox, as well as Unity.

Seeing how ubiquitous sponsored ads are in youtube videos now makes me wonder if all the mysterious prehistoric art we cant figure out was just adverts for shit. Like, what if stonehenge was just an advert for massive rocks...

Experiences Connections vs Games Friends Just typing those out shows how absurd the naming of the former really is... the first two are very corporate sounding.

If you're a Roblox developer, be careful. Roblox does not give you any indication as to why your game is taken down for DMCA like other platforms. Had this happen to a larger content creator friend of mine, pretty shit of Roblox and it's definitely all his own stuff.

Microsoft's insistence and persistence on AI is like having an annoying salesman who continually finds you no matter where you are and is like "Hey kid, you want some copilot?" - even after you have said NO like 1000 times at this point.

I love having a small car so much…the world is full of parking spots no one else can park in.

It's nuts seeing multiple whacky emergency events within the span of a month. First a bunch of cops tackling some dudes at a beach that had a samurai sword and bit a cop And now today I've passed a car quite on fire on the other side of the road. #nz

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

It's concerning how many people DON'T turn their headlights on when it's raining cats and dogs... or even just quite overcast. Your silver or white car may as well be invisible in my side mirrors guys... c'mon... LOW VISIBILITY = LIGHTS ON. That includes rain. #nz

Got en email from Roblox about my game that uses a custom chat solution w/ their text filtering APIs... now has to use TextChatService. Ick. That's one tedious rework, and I'm not a fan of the restrictive instance-based channel management.

One of the great things I like about having a sun/mon weekend - Mondays are nice and peaceful for beach walks.
