Here's a tip: if you find yourself agreeing with half of what a group of reactionary demagogues say, perhaps the right conclusion is not "the reactionary demagogues are half good" but "I am half bad."

It took me years, but I beat all 120 levels as a kid. I loved this game. scottishgames.net/2024/02/14/it-…

No joke, as a kid I literally wanted to be conscripted into a total institution where I'd have the humanity beaten out of me to turn me into a being of pure function, or die in the process of that transformation. My parents and teachers didn't seem very keen on that idea.

I am proud to announce that I have accepted an offer to be a Senior QA Engineer at Epic Games Store working on the Unreal Engine. I start on the twenty-second.

The usual suspects are butthurt that there are female characters in what they had ASSUMED to be an all-male faction. It's a dumb assumption and they're upset for dumb reasons. And this? This is how corporate representatives say "Die mad about it." :)

Woke up at 2:30 AM. Resigned myself to not getting back to sleep at 3:00 AM. Got up. Now trying to get some work done.

So in a few years when there’s a massive gap in the industry from all the games that were never made by the people who got laid off at the studios that were shuttered, who’s going to make your games? Where’s “shareholder value” going to come from when you’ve cut to the bone?

“Splinters”a poem: Memories, sharp and jagged In the mind they are snagged They are pain They are rage They remain They engage They will pester As they fester Pinch them out What’s this about They won’t dislodge I cannot dodge That which is embedded Has my stability shredded.

Maybe this is my neurodivergence, but I don’t understand people who operate in bad faith. I mean, I understand they exist and know that they’d try to subvert others with bad faith, I just can’t empathize with where they’re coming from.

This paragraph goes so hard.

I think one of the biggest sources of evil in the world is the notion that somehow a stranger’s life is less valuable than that of the familiar.

I'm going to the gym more frequently now than ever before. Because the world is just... too much.

Wanting "consequences" for other people's sex lives is weird, NGL. (Incidentally, aborting an unintended pregnancy IS taking responsibility. Imposing life without careful deliberation and intention is both irresponsible and immoral for all parties concerned.)

2016 felt like a knife in the back. 2024 feels like a knife in the gut.

If you possess a functional set of male gonads, now would be a good time to seek medical sterilization. We cannot allow the burden of the loss of bodily autonomy to fall entirely on a single sex.
