I am the exact target user for DLSS 5. I am an unashamed graphics snob. I do not like "pixel art" or "low poly" as a general rule. I like realism in games and in graphics. I say that so you understand me completely when I say: DLSS 5 looks awful. I do not want this.

We've reached the point where people are either confused or relieved when they visit my stream and don't see AI slop on the screen.

In case you missed it today, or left because the viewing experience was so bad: I'm cancelling tomorrow's stream as my internet connection continues to be awful. Replacement hardware is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Currently compiling a playlist of OG "techno" bangers from the early 2000's. The more proper name for it at the time was Industrial Techno I think. Early VNV Nation, Beborn Beton, Seabound, Funker Vogt. That sort of thing. What are some similar must-includes from that era?

It has been 0 days since a stray space caused an issue in a yaml file. Significant whitespace in a format intended for machine consumption is a mistake, and has always been a mistake.

Ugh, I guess I'm a dotfiles and guy now. The ever increasing amount of slop from all angles has necessitated this drastic action as a fallback plan.

If you have a product, and your examples in the official docs require me to pull in 400 other dependencies to follow along and understand what you're doing, punch yourself in the dick for me. Stop adding friction to the "is this worth the hassle?" phase.

Currently contemplating the employment situation. Are there any cool startups actually making a thing these days? Super not interested in AI slop, crypto, or places where the product is actually just the exit strategy. Just wanna make cool stuff, get paid decent.

I could really go for some local grocery store fake-ass chinese food. A Sobe energy drink or two, and about 16 hours of playing OG WoW while blasting Digital Gunfire (an internet radio station, you wouldn't understand) through WinAmp. Take me back, please?

It's insane that so much of what we actually get in the world (games, movies, tv, etc) is entirely dependent on a lizard person with zero fucking clue answering this question: "does this look like one of the other things that made a lot of money?"

I was reminded of this excellent artifact from the before-times while writing a login page. I never could learn to like anime, but this will forever be the correct music video for this song.

Looks like I'm gonna be on the edge of the big winter storm incoming. It's going to be far too cold to NOT run my very noisy heater for the bulk of the weekend so I'm going to cancel the streams. Assuming nothing breaks I should be back for the regularly scheduled nonsense next weekend.

There may or may not be a stream tomorrow. A friend of mine will be in town and time permitting I will be meeting up with him after work. If the timing for that doesn't work out I'll be streaming at the usual time.

I often encounter people that say things like "it's simple" and then proceed to explain nothing. Are y'all just repeating shit from memory without actually understanding the why behind it? You have to tell me if you are.

Thanks for inviting me to dinner! Please pass the turkey and new jobs. Either the one that's remote or the one in Austin Texas is fine. The links I brought to share with everyone are in my profile. No slop for me, thanks. I'm allergic to vibe coding and crypto.

Is peak marketing really just shouting the same thing into the void nonstop? I've noticed this seems to be the trend both in "traditional" and social media advertising.

Working a job that is actually interesting would be a pretty rad Christmas present. For just <reasonable compensation> you too can sponsor a bored to death Mongoose. In return he will also solve problems and/or produce working and tested code for you. Links in bio.

Anyone looking for a figure-stuff-out-er? I can code, write docs, make videos, fix cars. I've built things with wood and metal. I'm currently in sales and trying NOT to be. Look at my website (in bio) and if any of that sparks an interest hit me up.

At some point it seems that a lot of people decided that arguing now means sending screenshots of search engine "AI summary" results back and forth. It's absolutely insane.

Mongoose has skills if you have coin. I've done Go, DevOps, back end stuff mostly, a little tiny bit of front end stuff here and there. Happy to go learn whatever I don't know. No AI, not moving to California, open to discussion on everything else.

On the hunt for a better job still. I have a long history of being the guy that figures stuff out and makes things. Willing to apply this skill to interesting problems of all kinds in return for money.

Every day that I write more code for myself I find myself less interested in writing code for a middle manager who is barely qualified for the useless task of "create more meetings."
