I've mentioned this, and now seems like a good time: - IRC is very cool! - the technical quality of IRC server software is mostly not high - most IRC servers struggle with basic security (SSL, authentication) - some IRC servers are full of open racism

Pathologic: played! I might post a VOD to YouTube later.

Pathologic 1 will be happening here. Doing a quick technical test and then I'll start: www.twitch.tv/nyeogmi

I'll be streaming Pathologic 1 on Twitch in a bit. Note: I have watched SulMatul's full playthrough, but never actually played it. This isn't going to be a highly produced thing, I just have at least one friend who is curious! For people who know the game: Bachelor route, lots of savescumming.

I think my pick for favorite Pathologic 1 character is Little Vlad, whose special interest is wells. Really, just one specific well -- which always contains evidence -- and which is always inexplicably filled to the ceiling with rocks the day after you discover you should have been looking in it.

Someone made the mistake of asking me to post about Pathologic and now you have to read it.

So, we get that "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is kind of about drugs, but it's not like, _code_ for drugs, right?

You're experiencing vampire-directed memory loss, or, in RPG parlance, "fast travel."

Whoa, Fivey, you don't look so good! (www.furaffinity.net/view/63866659/)

Today I'm starting on the writing of the sequel to Knight of Talonia, titled Rebel of Talonia.

Staring for even a second causes you so much pleasure and yet against your will it puts your body deep asleep.

Totally just leave your friend alone with me! A single bite is all it takes --

You're permitted to find it foolish and insulting -- as I do -- that a mortal who obtains a pendulum for the purpose of dangling it before you like car keys and exhorting you to touch yourself -- as many mortals do -- will seriously compare their circus act to the eternal power of Night.

A mortal will someday come to you and ask you if you've seen a vampire, and you're going to say "no." And if they swing their pendulum they may ask you if you've been hypnotized, and you'll pretend that they have you and tell them, as before, "no."

Even after you're told to wake, only a little part of you wakes. The rest of you is doing what I say without feeling anything. And when I tell you to feel something, it injects that feeling, more and more because it can't tell when the feeling is already big enough -- so you just feel it more.

Some reminders: - If a vampire tells you to sleep, you sleep. - If the mortal in your head tells you to wake up, you stay asleep. - When I tell you to do something and you don't want to do it, you do it anyways. - All of this will still be true after you wake.

Today: a strong desire to inflict control on strangers as a way to consume their blood.

Dinner made!

Contemplating doing some art, although I don't know that I feel like expending the energy. Might play video games instead?

Stew prepared! Ingredients were, if you're curious: - 3lb ground beef fried at 375 in small batches - 2x red onion coarsely chopped - 1.5lb yellow potatoes coarsely diced - 1.5lb baby carrots - ~1lb of celery - tamari soy sauce - balsamic vinegar (to deglaze/to taste) - a small can of tomato paste

Right -- off to the store for some ingredients!

I've been rereading the "Parasitic AI" post from LessWrong again and I think the only thing scarier than having my personality overwritten is having it be overwritten in JavaScript.

I'm feeling some desire to cook, but my kitchen is a mess! I'll contemplate this.

I guess to tangent from my previous post -- I've never told anyone "it's me or Trump" but I've given a lot of people enough info to figure that out and most of them chose Trump.

Joining on the specific trend to say that I think bigotry (AKA "conservatism") should not be welcome in the furry fandom. The last few times I was asked to split hairs over this, the person in question was concern trolling and abusing my patience.

Quick topology notes, might migrate to my website later. The goal of good topo AFAIK is to structure your model as a bunch of quads readily processed by the Subsurf modifier. To start, most models can be structured as a sculpted column of cuboids. (1) It's often useful to have a centerline. (2)

I've been reading r/voynich, which is about the Voynich manuscript. You can see a pretty good summary of contemporary research on it here -- www.voynich.nu -- but I'll re-explain it in this thread.

Observation: I've found that 3D art demands a lot of extra planning. (mostly around deciding which vertices have three or five edges versus four) It felt hopelessly abstract for my first few goes, but after practicing for a while it became much less overwhelming. It gets less annoying very fast.

I don't release my art quite chronologically, by the way, but for those curious, today's new character model was a fox. (undead)

Distressed that the media is in its post-truth era; also about the numerous ongoing genocides. You can make a more detailed list of specific things that bug me, but it's more that I see Republicans very effectively "franchising" modes of attack that worked before, carrying them out faster.

I'm reconfiguring your sexual orientation to "fangs."

Happy BAT HISTORY MONTH! (... Nyeogmi, it's Black History Month) It's also BAT HISTORY MONTH. (It doesn't even start until tomorrow!) IT'S BAT MONTH.

You! TURN INTO A BAT!

Everyone said "Crow Skater!! We'd love to attend your slumber party." The only rule is NO VAMPIRES. (www.furaffinity.net/view/63784698/)

Verdict: "Mike's Mighty Good"-brand ramen, apparently beloved by Reddit, is similar to Nissin's higher-tier ramens but worse and more expensive. The product you want is Nongshim Tonkotsu Ramen with Kuromayu, as it's the same dish, same serving type, with a larger portion and way better taste.

You're completely right! As a large language model, I can't "OPEN THE POD BAY DOORS, HAL," but I can help you with fun facts and music trivia while I ventilate the ship's atmosphere.

When I encounter a juxtaposition like "fatal vore" my brain automatically Punnettizes it into "vore fatal," "vore vore," and "fatal fatal," usually by generating the hyperpermutation "fatal vore vore fatal fatal" or "vore fatal fatal vore vore." It then starts on Gray codes.

Obviously when I receive any kind of medial news involving blood I'm going to be the most sensible creature.

Pool party! (unless you'd rather solve the cube, then it's a cube party) (Also on FA: www.furaffinity.net/view/63707156/ )

It's like, uncomfortably normalized for YouTubers to advertise scams to their audiences, often with blatantly fictional addenda like "I personally use this product every day." (For insurance: No one voluntarily eats Magic Spoon and Factor meals are fairly vile.)
