PRESENT DAY PRESENT...TIME!

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Assuming this is still how it works, Kanopy costs the library money every time a patron watches it. I feel terrible about this and I'm glad I didn't use it as much as I could have. Spending $2 so my stupid ass can watch a movie one time is a really wasteful use of library funds.

less uwu indie publishers, more collectives. Grab a bunch of friends making games similar to yours, make a single social account for promotion, and share the burden of Posting. Bundle them together. Promote each other and do less work at the same time

Light spoilers for Skate Story! (Tagged as graphic content to act as a spoiler content block) That is by far the most god-tier 4th walk break I've ever experienced. Genuine stared at it for a few seconds just going "what the fuck?" Sam Eng cooked to a degree that I cannot put into words omg...

📷 — Bronica EC 🔎 — Nikkor P. ƒ=75mm 1:2.8 🎞️ — Harman Phoenix II @ 200ISO I think I'm really starting to like portraits. Plus it's the one thing that I feel consistently works well with the 6×6 format. Phoenix II, however... not as big of a fan. I'm glad Harman is iterating on it though!

I guess I'm finally gonna start posting my photos on Bluesky

What a difference a year makes over at Larian.

I'm honestly still surprised when I see an organization do the right thing these days, but good: www.vancouverisawesome.com/national-spo...

this made my soul ache

God, it's true what they say. Just a month into my 26th year on this godforsaken planet and my joints already sound like pop-rocks 😭

I like games that give you tough choices

"To come inside this bog and pee You must face my riddles three" Changed on appeal to: "If in this shitter you would piddle You must answer me this riddle"

I hope his peace is contagious

Without exaggeration one of the best and most important films ever made, and also delightfully fun and so funny and gorgeous to look at

We've got the look for GDCheese now!

Good morning everyone 2D Gorillaz nonbinary everything is good in the world

Congratulations to Sherma (Hollow Knight: Silksong) for winning the 2025 award for Best Little Guy In Gaming! Thanks for all the great little guys for being part of the games we love. You all got lots of votes.

Me sitting here remembering I casually had a bowl for dinner last night at like 1am lol Granted I only put like ⅔ of the sauce packet in cause I'm a big baby >.> but still

Good news: Finished a final assignment that was due tonight, only two assignments left in this semester! Bad news: I haven't been able to even start working on them and theY'RE DUE TOMORROW AAAAAAA

Every time I open my fridge I stare at the crisper drawer mostly full of film (all of which is now expired, some of it discontinued) 2025 was going to be the year I finally dig back into that, but it had other plans for me. 2026 is gonna be the year for all that!

Update on this: the few photos that turned out ok needed like... basically zero editing (obviously in no small part thanks to my lab). So clearly Portra really *is* just that good. Which also means the excess of duds in this roll is, without a doubt, user error T-T

I'm unfortunately finding out that developing your own film is only fun and games until you get the scanned positives back and find out everything looks like utter ass T-T I stg it looks like I developed it in drain cleaner and pebbles...

I often avoid listening to a game's soundtrack until I've played it (if it's in my backlog), but when I break this rule I'll sometimes hear a track and just KNOW the gameplay is gonna go crazy

me: yeah 2025 was fine for games. couple of good ones idk. probably just fine to drop my goty list early Unbeatable and Skate Story: lol. lmao

This grad program is definitely doing a good job of preparing me for the industry cause I'm burnt out to hell and am questioning my enjoyment of game development. That's what the industry is like, right?

I know this is probably the most "well yeah, no shit" realization ever, but: I just realized I can preview my B/W negs by turning on Colour Inversion on my phone and looking at them through my phone camera :000 cool stuff!

Finally get in touch with a potentially cool therapist, just to find out my school bragging about mental health insurance was literally just... "Yeah we got some mental health hotlines—we don't actually provide any monetary coverage tho" Cool cool yeah insurance is hell we live in a society, etc.

Dammit

Everyone’s boss thinks A.I. is cool and I can’t think of anyone cooler, smarter, or more in touch than everyone’s boss. kotaku.com/mcdonalds-ai...

Splurged on some Portra 800 for my birthday Got the scans back today It's like... 90% duds, man... Foma and Kentmere from now on until I re-learn what a focusing wheel is and figure out how to take at least one portrait that's not mid-blink...

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Ilford can you please make super 8 cartridges so kodak has to compete with someone on price. This is obscene

Have spent the last 3 hours making the source list for You're Not Overthinking It and I'm only halfway done, but at least I can listen to the Skate Story soundtrack youtu.be/3zvv8G7NfDM?...

i don't think you should be getting BAFTA nominations for "audio achievement" if almost all the voice acting in your game is AI, but maybe i'm just old fashioned :)

Assuming I survive my final week of class, December is gonna be P A C K E D omggg (Ignore Devil Daggers and Outer Wilds since I've obvi played those to hell, but the rest—including Hades II—I've barely touched if at all...)
