The "put it down for a couple weeks and come back later if you hit a wall" factor of game dev is so real sometimes.

Finally made a breakthrough on the issue that made me pause in September and now my code is cleaner as a bonus.

My new mission in life is to live in such a way that Peter Thiel will eventually accuse me of being the Antichrist.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

I'm kinda ambivalent/borderline over Universes Beyond at this point but I really dislike the art treatments on cards that are just screengrabs from the media they're from. It was bad with the FF set and some of the ones from Avatar look awful. It's jarring because so much of the sets' art is good!

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”

Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

The amount of bending over backwards to try and defend a dude with a Nazi chest tattoo if simultaneously baffling and unsurprising?

What are we doing here? What has to happen to hold anyone accountable for the ways they're normalizing fascism in this country?
October 22, 2025 at 2:58 PM
If you want some good aesthetic pieces to fight fascism with maybe don't utilize the technology pushed by people in bed with fascists and instead buy some art from the marginalized communities affected by both the fascists and the tech bros enabling them, idk, seems like a more consistent approach.

As someone who was a very edgy teenager, no, it is not and was not normal or expected to talk about how much you loved Hitler or make gas chamber/rape jokes.

There's a difference between edgy teenage behavior and nazi shit.

Lies of P has some of the best Souls combat I've ever played but I am nearing the end of the base game and trying the DLC, and there is a noticeable fall-off in boss quality after Victor. Really hoping it rallies and that the DLC bosses specifically start being more fun, on the second and it sucks

I have never felt more vindicated about Game Pass than I do now.

Silent Hill f is absolutely stellar so far.

Like a lot of people, the combat is not my favorite though it gets better once you start to pick up on its nuances. But the game took an absolutely WILD turn last night in terms of plot and mechanics at about the 6 hour mark that has me fiending to play.

Not to be overly combative, but Silent Hill f is absolutely a Silent Hill game, as long as your understanding of the series goes deeper than “American Town“ and “rusted metal + chains”
September 29, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Anders being almost completely removed from the post Dragon Age 2 games in the series and my interest in the latter games nosediving isn't a coincidence the more I think about it.

Inquisition's plot just... fails to grab me in any way aside from its companions and Corypheus is a huge part of that.

You know what? There are stupid questions and some people who are "just asking questions" should be shamed for asking stupid questions.

We don't have to entertain every bad idea someone entrenched in an institution has.

Worked up a poster for Sinners - that cross section of horror movies, period pieces, and roots music checks an awful lot of my boxes, and heavens but it was beautifully made.

biggest annoyance with all this social media stuff is that I don't want to be a content creator who makes art. I am an artist. I love writing essays but "content"? It's a slog. an annoying slog. you're telling me I gotta have a personality AND make art? I can barely take care of myself puhleeeeasee.

Silent Hill f looked strong from the trailers and the early buzz being largely positive has me very happy and more hopeful for this one.

I think getting away from the titular town might actually be good for the series in the long run so fingers crossed that it lands for me.

So I guess I'm not getting anything productive done until Silksong is finished huh

I think I'm getting close to the end of Act 2 but keep finding new stuff I missed so I have no idea.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
