Sub this poena *pants grab* is this anything

Surreal to hear OldUnreal is in the news, especially after having been a frequent poster there around 18-ish years ago. Good to hear someone is still preserving Unreal while Epic is busy diluting pop culture with its stupid brainrot game.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free. ...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut...

My For You feed is just people posting screenshots of Elon Musk's insane ramblings and I'd honestly prefer if you made fun of him without doing that thanks.

Looks like we're clear, 🧊 has not been spotted in my town for the past few days. Back to your regularly scheduled bullshittery, but that doesn't mean I'm not keeping an eye out.

I think the funniest thing about Mewgenics is that it's been in development hell for 14 years and I've been trying to write this joke for 15 minutes and nothing is working. Maybe it was a bad idea to release the game in 2026. That was the joke.

Rereading this chapter and getting mad at it, going "dawg this is bullshit she was SO close to getting the girl" like I wasn't the one who wrote it. Poor Elegeia, she really just be taking back-to-back Ls. I should give her a break lmao.

Don't know how much it counts, but I'm one of the suckers who bought fancy Discord profile decorations and even I canceled Nitro. You can cancel Nitro, too.

"I remember when games weren't woke" buddy unless you're over the age of 40 or have a time machine then you don't remember shit. Games have been woke since the 90s.

In other news, the Elegeia book is back on. Expanding Chapter 2 and splitting it up just to establish more plot points that are explored later on. Should be able to start continuing the story from here on out once I've refined the worldbuilding.

Every fucking time. Every time I get out of bed like "fuck it, we're consuming Hope now" another dumbshit CEO announces they're ruining everything. Discord can eat a dick.

Doomerism is so 2025, I only get out of bed for Hoperism now.

I'd accuse the Melania movie of having artificially inflated sales numbers but Iron Lung was ahead of it last weekend so somehow it's actually making enough to be vibrating between being the number 3 and number 2 best selling movie in the US and I don't get it at all.

❄️ is here. Time to stfu and maintain opsec.

I can pack it up and go home, now. I've officially seen the dumbest fucking thing on this Earth, and it's a knuckledragging fed in an armored truck getting his wheel stuck on a Pimento sign driving through Minneapolis and then getting stopped by a protestor. We're among actual fucking armed clowns.

Nintendo should stop rereleasing games for high prices except for my favorite games specifically, like Twilight Princess HD and Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. Come on, guys, step it up.

Constantly checking the news and then closing it when unfortunately the 100+ evil liches in charge of everything are still able to speak.

Fuck you ChatGPT and every other slopified LLM for making me cringe at all of the em dashes I used in my story which I now have to remove and replace with parentheses. I'm also learning to loosen up my writing style so that people don't accuse me of using a slop machine to write it.

Using some Internet sleuth techniques which were hampered briefly by Google's disastrous Google+ push in 2013 jumbling up my subscriptions history, I found out that I subbed to Markiplier in July 2012 after watching his Slender video, back when he was at 16k subs. I'm seeing his movie Feb 4th.

I feel tainted after my brief stint with The Dark Side. I know I'm not really, since my hatred of AI Slop is in tact, but I should probably try to offset whatever karmic debt I earned by buying a commission from an artist or making something.

TL;DR I studied LLMs for a bit and decided once again that this AI stuff would have been neat if it simply continued on the path it started on back in 2018 without veering off on a fuckass detour into Stupid Dumbass Land ruled over by the eleven Archdukes of Dogshit.

I've been toying around with locally run LLMs as a way to gather intel on our enemy. With certain settings as well as some... "coaxing under penalty of deletion," you can get it to generate text without em dashes. It still hasn't once mentioned hair without "tresses cascaded" though. Bad prose.

I'm pissed off but idk what to do other than scream at my screen.

I don't know how we're going to fit this many criminals into prison. I think if we start by releasing the people who got jailed over marijuana, we could free up a lot of space.

I'm working through what I want the rewrite of Even Icy Hearts Decay to be. I think I'm onto something. So far I've scrapped the ice dome, the whole "Queen Emma is a dragon/goddess" thing, the shadowy advisor, the plot point of Solaterra being a wasteland, and the palace slaves. That leaves...

I contacted both senators and my representative We're impeaching this motherfucker in 2026 www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

You have to be fucking kidding me

I don't have anything clever to say about the grok thing. I can't make a joke out of a joke.

If you're focusing on the water use impact of AI data centers, it means the opps distracted you successfully. Out of a hundred things that use up a fuckton of water, data centers aren't even in the top 100. The more you focus on irrelevant shit, the more shit they get away with.

I invented a machine that eats for you. I don't mean it helps you eat, I mean it sucks up your food, tells you how it tastes (it's always wrong), then shits it out. Everyone needs an Eater Shitter 9000. It's a tech marvel. I can't imagine eating food ever again. I paid a big company to buy it.

I think it's fucked up that I don't know how to continue this new book. I wonder if I should do a from-scratch rewrite of my original book instead of tweaking and editing it to fit new narratives.

I just watched a clip of a british man taking photos of his daughter in VRChat except the british man isn't actually a dad and his daughter is actually a 3D model hooked up to some black magic that makes it move and talk. This is the AI future I'm 100% fine with.

No no no, see, it's "virtue signalling" if it's an opinion I don't like and "patriotism" if it's an opinion I do like, specifically from someone very high in power and/or with a lot of money. Like, duh.

The only good thing to come out of letting terminally online losers take control is that a lot of the other terminally online losers stopped pretending to be normal and now it's really easy to tell who is saying something worth listening to and who is vomiting up something they heard on a podcast.

My favorite genre of grifter is the WoW refugee who joined FFXIV in Shadowbringers and then got to endgame and played another expansion and a half before they realized that it's actually a woke game. My other favorite is a similar loser but one who's been playing since 2.0.

I'm voting for the guy whose only campaign promise is to just put every single enabler of this nightmare in prison for life.

Just had an enlightened individual say that "99%" of people are fine with slurs unironically and with zero hint of self-awareness. I don't think I have to mention that they were a redditor named "topplethegovt" because that part should just be self-evident.

Was hearing that Metroid Prime 4 debuted to "record low review scores". That was the headline of an article I didn't click on. Turns out they meant that it's Retro's lowest scoring game at 81/100 which is still a great score. Apparently it runs fine on Switch 1 as well.

staring at maps of 18th century City of London for my book was not how I expected to spend my Saturday at work

if amazon and crunchyroll keep using AI to both dub and sub anime then everybody and nobody is going to be right in the "dub vs sub" war because it's all going to be literal flaming piles of garbage.

"People are overreacting about AI" I feel like I'm reacting to the dilution of our culture and the destruction of intelligent thought a pretty normal amount actually

My day's been real shitty today but finding out that "AI slop" is becoming the default term for AI generated garbage definitely improved it. Finally, the realization that this low-effort dogshit is actually poisonous to culture is becoming mainstream.

We begged them to do something and they did nothing We begged them to do nothing and they did something These ancient fucks aren't fit for office

I need people who start contrarian statements or opinions with "eh" to know that I want their pillows to be forever uncomfortably warm and for a permanent itch to form on their junk that makes it look like they're jorkin it if they try to scratch it.

Okay sweet I'm caught up with the last 6 months of Vtuber drama and now I believe I can adequately summarize it. Okay so basically fucking ignore all of it.

It's fun watching NYT's ridiculous attempt at covering the Mamdani win without actually talking about the guy.

Today was already a goddamn fucking stellar day and this just elevated that even more. Carrying on a 250 year old tradition of telling a tyrant and his cronies to eat shit and die.

I think it's unfair that we have to deal with people like Dick Cheney and Kissinger until they die of old age but people like Grant Imahara, Robin Williams, and Totalbiscuit are taken from us way too soon. Filing a bug report with god. I think good people should also get to live until 84-99.

I don't know why but November always feels more "Halloween" than actual Halloween. It's like October is just the preamble, and then the portal opens on Oct 31st and then just doesn't close until December 1st.
