Life, Fuckups, and Trivialities

Hello From Periodicals

I have a joke that I use when things are piling up on me: I have so many issues that I could run a periodicals library.

This entry's pretty much about why Weird Writer Wednesday is happening on a Friday.

Accidentally Mentoring...

I have no idea how this keeps happening. I've picked up a third mentee.

All Work and No Play

Baby Game Dev Adventures: Interface Design

My solution - make my own. My problem - I am not a programmer.

Even if you don't go there, you have a decent chance of falling in love with all the characters therein.

Reasons to Love: Thank Goodness You're Here!

It's a beautiful day in Barnsworth and you are a terrible, tiny salesman.

Centaurworld is an Isekai story in which our heroine... is thrust into a world she does not understand.

A Devil's Tale

State of the WIP (August 2024)

I'm probably going to start a fifth GoogDoc.

All Work and No Play

Look After Yourself: How to?

I say it at the end of every stream: "Look after yourself, you're the only you we've got."

Reasons to Love: Twice Upon a Time (1983)

There are rare pieces of media that you just know that they will never be able to re-make...

Reasons to Love: Satisfactory

It's a game. Specifically, a factory game where you go to a distant alien world to extract every possible resource out of it.

Reasons to Love: The Creative Process

When attempting to figure out what I was going to rant about, this week, I kept asking myself one question. What do I keep going back to and enjoy going back to it? I enjoy making things. Not just stories, though I do make up stories with a relentless enthusiasm

Reasons to Love: Girl Genius

I went in for the puns. Stayed for the visual comedy.

Life, Fuckups, and Trivialities

Juggling Moments

I've had a disruption to my usual sequence of operations, and hammering out a new one is -er- "interesting". As in, "may you live in interesting times" brand of "interesting".

Reasons to Love: Terry Pratchett (GNU)

I've read his books since the first Discworld titles, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. Yes, I was a 1980's teenager.

Save the World

Rona, Mismanaged

The entire population of the planet just spontaneously decided to collectively ignore [COVID] and hope that it actually did go away.

LLM's

Revolution Against AI

You should be well aware that I have opinions about Large Learning Models. Mainly that the techbros who insist they're good after all can go fuck off and die in a fire. Especially the ones that just outright stole all the grist for their "AI" mill.

Rant

Dumb Technology Please

Make no mistake, I am a nerd who loves progress and technology. I especially like the stuff that makes my life easier. Preferably whilst also not costing me my privacy or needing software updates just to do something mind-numbingly basic. Like, for example, cooking your food or keeping it cold.

Dear Diary...

Simple Solutions

The bougie fancy whatnot from the fancy-ass bougie bakeware shops was as useful to me as a meringue umbrella.

Kind of makes an Autiste like me believe that society will only think me worthy of my keep if I'm somehow profitable.

I can clearly imagine the neurotypical rage that would happen if... one of the heroes... was introduced while he was stimming as pictured above.
