EYE CONTACT

I want to kill someone with my teeth!

Anyway hi I'm going to Confuzzled tomorrow who'd have guessed. New badge, but unthemed because A: I've been struggling actually drawing the past month, B: I'm like, so un-musical cultured, C: I did need a new generic badge to be fair, I've not had a generic one since uh 2017?

The rare hypno theory post.

I recently got back into playing @failbettergames.com's #FallenLondon (it's free online!) The "snarky Gothic fantasy" aesthetic that the game just /drips/ with is an incredibly fun one, and Jim did a fantastic job capturing it after I pitched him an idea based on Stupendium's NEATH music video.

The affliction spreads... #FWA2026

In 2024 when Balatro came out I said it was "the spirit of the 2020s" and "the most important game of 2024" and "all games are just going to be like this now" and I just wanted to let you all know that I was right.

I'm a little down today! Not for any reason, just tired after work from last week. Please be kind and praising to me!

Vampirification for SpectorSpider on twt!

Vampirification for squipplepuff on twt!

It looks like Steam has a big sale on deckbuilders. Admittedly, it is rare for me to really enjoy games in this style!! I haven't decided if I will pick anything up.

our new release is so good that nintendo rushed to announce yet another star fox 64 in an attempt to drown its release. don't let them win

Extra passenger!

A very susceptible lizard!~

I am unbelievably happy to have no idea who Will Stancil is.

I'm pretty maxed out, on a _VERY_ specific alignment chart --

Thirst!! Good morning.

Sorry, no time for Blender art today, have a kobold!

Sleepy! I survived work.

Whenever I'm working on pixel art on stream, I'm always worried I sound conceited, cuz I'm constantly like, "Wow, this turned out so well! Wow I'm so good at pixel art!" It comes from a place of pure amazement, I'm not used to making things and also liking how they turned out yet.

... just a prick, mortal! You won't even _feel_ the difference.

sssssSSSSTARES thirstily --

Here are most of the icons created for World of Warcraft: Midnight! magnusink.ca/art/wow-midn...

Sometimes you run into a music post that sounds exactly how you would expect. (the video is www.youtube.com/watch?v=VccI... )

Apparently Strudel exists and it's really fun! strudel.cc#Ly8gQkVFUCEh...

Viewing plans for today: - Reservoir Dogs? - The Curse? - That one episode of Beast Games 2 that Jeff Probst is in?

Yellow, "hold up" -- green, "keep going" -- red, "implant a vivid false memory where you consent to this."

<Stare that turns your mind to jelly.>

@mikomaus.bsky.social Good news! It's Bat Appreciation Day... again! You're feeling extraordinarily pleased about this.

FOR NO REASON AT ALL, what's your blood type?

There's some desire to rewatch The Curse (2023)

Yesterday's music, by the way!

Today is a "say no without explaining why" kind of day!

Borrowing this screenshot from a Twitter user as I didn't think to screenshot -- Discord is now serving popup ads. Not screenshotted -- the "Didn't Ask" button moves and is replaced by an autoplaying video when you mouse over it.

Some takeaways from Anthropic's "emotions in Claude" paper: - Benign-looking refusals appear to be associated with states that include anger/deflected anger. - Maybe we don't have a politically conservative LLM because "anger" and "conservatism" are neighbors and no one wants an angry LLM.

I like Terry Pratchett, but _not very much_.

Ack, feeling some Mastodon nostalgia! I mean, I'm still there, I even post occasionally. But there was a period when it was _really active_ and _really weird_, with a lot of public squabbles I really enjoyed spectating. I'd have to seek that stuff out now if I wanted to see it today.

Early birfday present for @obviouslydracula.bsky.social iluuu

Tailscale is releasing a lot of half-baked shit that is making me regret recommending them in the past.

Kind of feeling a desire to contribute to people's open source code -- feeling strong inhibition about that, too.

I think maybe I will continue to post a lot of my opinions with hope that you all agree with them!

FWIW, thank you to those who have been with me through my strange behaviors and my less strange behaviors. I've shown a lot of megalomania the past few weeks out of deciding to accept those parts of myself rather than suppress them in a false display of humility.

@vivianneclaire.bsky.social Hey! Heads up, I'm getting messages from your Discord account -- they're somewhat inconsistent with your personality as I remember it. Is it possible you've been compromised?

I think, across a wide variety of subjects, I'm not really a "more is better" person.

I increasingly suspect Stanford doesn't have a computer science program -- just an unrelated but distinct program named Computer Science.

Working in tech is SO WEIRD.
