(Goodnight) I’ve been up for too long, thanks to hyper-fixating over video games, which is itself, me avoiding things I’ve been putting off, The only thing to do right now is sleep, and tomorrow be better.

*sees a post comparing GameCube controller “face button layout to other face button layouts* Rin: “…” Also Rin:

Mist Escaped. Also, Special Thanks to @mechtroid.bsky.social, whom I messaged for help with this puzzle, The hints they gave me were well-written, but also vague enough, that I still could enjoy some amount of “solving” this accursed area. #RinPlaysSilksong

One of the DLC "sidequests" just giving you stat items for free and then forcing you to take a survey is an incredible bit

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Finally getting the context for that Hayao Miyazaki quote, and I agree with the Japanese YouTube commenters, they showed an interesting thing, to the wrong person

Developer whose project was called “an insult to life itself” by Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki to launch “god simulator” game on February 12 automaton-media.com/en/news/deve...

There was a much less positive version of this goodnight post, But this feels like a more “fun” way to portray my anxiety and avoidance this past week, Eventually I will alert the guards, but for now… 😴

99% OF SILKSONGERS QUIT BEFORE ESCAPING THE MIST #RinPlaysSilksong

Have you ever seen someone make a series of bad decisions? Yeah, me neither. #RinPlaysSilksong

“I talked to their AI assistant… and then it blocked me…” — Overheard at fast food restaurant, spoken by person who seemed to have placed an online order at the wrong location.

So, this was the purpose behind my recent trip to China: I visited Hangzhou and Netease HQ to play over 6 hours of Sea of Remnants, as well as speak to the developers about working in China, the game, monetization both in and out of the game through merchandising, and more

Today I was supposed to turn my fortunes around, But somehow I woke up way too early, and did not fall back asleep…

Have been avoiding dealing with some stuff, and having it pile in the background, and hoping that tomorrow’s Me suddenly decides to attack it, So goodnight for now, and here’s some Subaru in the meantime

No Silksong Thread today, Just one word: Maggots. #RinPlaysSilksong

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

looked this guy up because of a reply, this is apparently not some dude putting on a stunt but a member of the community who does a lot of volunteer work with unhoused people www.kqed.org/news/1206981...

hehe yay woohoo yippee

Real-life Tachikoma ♡

Today looks like the final day of cold… aka, 28 F (-2.2 C) Afterwards, it will gradually climb up, and even get relatively warm again!

well, my computer was on the fritz for a while (yet, ultimately fine...) but now my GPU is dying enough to impact my drawing, so I need help! I'll be doing a nice 10% discount on any new comm requests through vgen for the next month. help me out, if ya can, but no pressure

90% of chuuni stop believing before they awaken to the dark arts

A little burst of optimism on your feed, more than a quarter of a million raised for VEAP! The Twin Cities largest food pantry who is ensuring people affected by ICE (like those unable to go outside their homes for fear of being racially profiled during the occupation) are receiving emergency food!

fwiw i think /pol/ and weev and such appearing in the files are less “we elite need to create a network to attack women, the left, etc.” and more “here’s some guys attacking women, the left, etc. let’s get them on our side” which is a mostly academic difference but, like, not a conspiracy per se

Goodnight post that is actually me going to eat snacks because I finally restocked on food

Quarter mil is wild. 🔥 fuck ICE always and forever.

In unrelated news, I caught a bit of someone else watching an adaptation of Lathe of Heaven today, and it seemed genuinely very good watch, (I have not read Le Guin, other person has been going deep into her work.)

Good: My early online experience was so sheltered, that I don’t have much knowledge of all the various websites / forums being referenced today Bad: My ignorance makes me seem the idiot fool who does not know the eldritch horror beneath everything I have experienced that touched these sub-cultures.

tonights lesson: never ban hentai off your message board. you will awaken the nazi armada that has deep ties to Jeffery Epstein

these thoughts triggered by the release of google's genie (the usual folks treating it as the beginning of the end of traditional gamedev) and spending some time today reading the aigamedev subreddit, and realizing it's easier to say "okay let me know when you ship!" rather than argue hypotheticals

NOOOOO

Perhaps the reason I couldn’t fall asleep, was because I didn’t make a goodnight post. So here’s me screenshot’ing Rin Penrose watching a Tomodachi Life clown saying “maths” That’s the post. (Goodnight!)

Honestly? If this was because the team wanted to release in Japan and didn't want to do a separate SKU, I feel that the team probably should've been transparent about that. Nintendo has made some baffling decisions lately but it's looking like they aren't at fault this time.

(Widow Fight, Successful 1st Phase) This is the mental state of a Rin, unable to sleep. #RinPlaysSilksong

The most “cursed” sequence of events: Not being able to sleep, I read wuxia novel. Wuxia novel makes me feel a bit bad, so I grab my Switch 2. While video games can reset my mood, I know that Silksong can be frustrating. I try Widow fight once, I get to her 2nd phase. I beat her, same attempt.

Have to wake up tomorrow, and I have been struggling to fall asleep the whole night…
