Bilbo: "Listen here, you little shit, you're never getting your greedy little handses on Bag end..."

Honestly having watched the cycles of people reacting to the individual pieces of this and other unsaid bits are why I'm quite happy to be a noodler hobbyist that has no financial stake in the industry. Never you mind the relative unachievability of financial solvency.

Dear artists who moved over to Bluesky: Please tag your work as NSFW. It won't affect you in the algorithm if you do, but it will make it so that 16 year olds (like me) don't see your dick, tits, boobies and balls all over the timeline. Thanks and kind regards.

I'm procrastinating less than usual this year, I've only got half my presents left to wrap before I drive up to my folks place in a few hours lol.

I really should've checked my wrapping paper inventory before I picked up a tube "just in case". Now I've got five tubes. Lol. Lmao, even.

I want American cities that are walkable, and that have train access from the surrounding regions. I want usable public transport that isn't a fucking afterthought.

I fucking hate that ai has made me start to question every cute animal video.

Wanted a clean thread to continually share as needed but hey are you annoyed by orientalist and blatantly obtuse games and their white designers? Throw money at an Asian designer and their games! You can find them so easily with the link below! Did you buy Obojima? Feel bad? Buy another game!

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them. Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

Guess I'll post this again

From Grinch with love.

Ok, this took me way longer than it should have, but I've finally got the voronoi texture seamlessly mapping onto a sphere now with merged poles as well. Here's a quick before and after.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

Aside from baking, I've also been having some coding adventures. A lot of tool building so far, but I'm excited about what I'll be able to do with them. so far I've got a voronoi diagram generator, a class that generates walkable terrain as well as a "planet", and a marching cubes implementation.

Next round of baking experiments. pizza buns and soft pretzels Both were soda boiled, I'm thinking my soda to water ratio was off though because they didn't brown that much. Still calling it a success though. The pizza buns are delicious

So, uh... Tonight's blades in the dark game got a bit out of hand... #bladesinthedark

I don't know which witch in my life cast the spell fueling my current executive function head wind, but I've gotten stuff done on several projects, reorganized my kitchen, and cooked/baked three days in a row, so thank you kindly.

I've got a joke about Odysseus but it takes decades to bring it home.

Captain Burt Braddock Absolute beefcake hirsute pirate Captain who wields a cutlass and an anchor on a rope like a kusarigama on anabolic steroids. The only top he wears is a brace of pistols, and he is an absolute menace in the boarding party because the anchor will wreck your spine and your ship.

“average system matters to at least one person per table” factoid actualy just statistical error. average system matters to zero people per table. The Systems cult, an obscure religious order that worships the Georg system at their tables daily, is an outlier and should not have been counted

All week during work my attention/focus was hyping myself up to work on a programming project. The weekend arrived and suddenly my focus inexplicably changed to baking experimentation. So anyways I've got some same day focaccia dough proofing lol.

I'm still friends with the sister of one of my old RuneScape friends. No, not the older sister that used to log onto his RuneScape account, not her younger sister I used to talk to on aim, her twin sister who shared her aim account. This sounds like I got catfished or something lol.

So cable news is like, DEAD, dead. Message received.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Democrats want to take America's budget and allocate it in a pretty little way that honestly doesn't fucking matter because they are incapable of doing anything useful. I hope to be proven wrong. I expect to be disappointed.

Working on some basic proc gen stuff right now. If I get it working I will be very powerful. Take my word for it?

You can just say, "I want people to hate me." and save us all some time, y'know.

Would love to get to at least 100 followers on the project page for Card Drives. It goes live on December 2nd. It's a single player cyberpunk rogue-light deckbuilder where a deck of playing cards is your character sheet. Share it around? www.kickstarter.com/projects/not...

Figured out how to make a scripting language, now thinking about what features a ttrpg scripting language needs for absolutely no reason lol.

Apparently my mom caught on I've been soft quitting her side of the family, so I got to have that conversation for Thanksgiving. That was "fun". Still kinda stewing on that.

I just had a probably cursed idea: A Les Miserables fanfic where it's reimagined in a cultivation setting. Jean Valjean is a (reincarnated) body tempering loose cultivator, obviously. Javert is the enforcement elder of the top Orthodox faction.

I think I just learned how to make my own scripting language? This changes things.

Side note tho, I think I made a breakthrough on the game I'm working on today. Fingers crossed.

If I got mutes that want to make a game with me, you have to let me know or else you're a cop. It's the law. Or something.

Just stewing in a preemptive rage today for no apparent reason.

At work I had an obscure math question and asked an expert if he was familiar with it. He said I should try the ai thing. I politely told him I was looking for help understanding the thing from a person and relayed the full question. 1/2

"how did you get into ttrpgs?" I went to the library during a storm and got eaten by a players handbook.

One of these days I'm going to memorize the ievan polka and I'll be unfathomable at karaoke for good or ill.

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

If anyone tells me I'm not doing my best, I dare them to do better.

If you’re looking into novellas during awards season, I humbly put forth my own, from @neonhemlock.bsky.social? Gay archeologists, academic footnotes, alt history shenanigans, giant robots, hot superheroes, and hard-to-cook samosas are all plot points! www.neonhemlock.com/books/iron-b...

Gonna do some old fashioned computational geometry at work to show the boss man I don't need no fuckin AI.

I think they should get more. Fuck it why not? "That'll mean you pay more in taxes" Bitch, like you kept good account of my taxes before? You let fucking Intuit tell you what my taxes are, fuck off unless you want to actually do something useful for a change.

Every single person who thinks "defund the police is bad and stupid" should have to explain exactly how they plan to enact their 12-step list of US police reforms to demilitarize and weed out "the bad cops" that somehow preserves all the same infrastructure and funding at the same time

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

our govt can threaten and brag about murdering people on here but we cannot joke about bad people deserving bad things

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out
