CW: re: AI/LLM discourse

I've written tons of them but had anyone actually ever *read* a 5 paragraph essay for purposes other than grading

oh, it was just a pun on flying toasters

I am aware of that, yes

but they're flying toasters

does it count if I post sentient planes

also, I just got yet another game where you have direct control of your character and can't jump
this feels weird

oh no, you're no longer a cube

- it seems like I have to react faster than I can consciously process things so it kinda becomes a subconscious process, it's kinda weird that no rhythm game I play before really reached the same level

(that said I've only really gotten into rhythm heavens and trombone champ)
(4/4)

- I decided to rebind the keys to the vim layout so that it matches the way the arrows are arranged (well, ZXCV instead of HJKL), is this commonly done?

also I'm holding my keyboard up like a guitar but I assume that's a separate problem (3/4)

- I looked up DDR and it also has the up arrow to the right - which is strange, because the developers seemed to be in Japan, also a country with left-hand driving; what influenced this seemingly counterintuitive decision? (2/4)
