"nossa como o pessoal odeia nós gaúchos, é cada comentário na internet" "mãe, o que tu acha do nordeste?" "não vem com essa"

the situation in the castlevania trenches is a powder keg everyone agrees it's not what castlevania is supposed to be but we've had to replace all stairs with ramps because a fistfight breaks out whenever someone gets close to one

hitting another moment in writing where I know where I wanna go with it but then I look at what the current state of the plot is and I have some shit to figure out surely it'll be fine

puta que pariu como a gente tá fudido nesse país caralh- julie está seguindo você PORRA BOT AGORA NÃO CARALHO

romancing saga minstrel song refuses to be normal about everything you go do the hardcore test of bravery that only two people have ever suceeded of climbing a mountain and getting a feather from a legendary bird but to not try to pluck one from it it shows up says what's up gives you a quest

vizinha falando super alto sem parar "tu tá me irritando tu tá me irritando tu tá me irritando" pro marido que não dá pra ouvir um piu considerando o número de vezes que já ouvi um ou outro falar de como teria sido fácil de ter um matado o outro, não sei como não aconteceu ainda

think there should be a lesson in JRPG movesets based on caligula effect guy who's very strong but most moves involve waiting for someone in the party to setup the right conditions for him? depressed guy stuck in part-time jobs forever

guy whose moveset is mostly counters? ex-villain trying to redeem himself, believes he shouldn't get help for what he did girl whose moves all get stronger in certain conditions, but doesn't need to wait like the other guy? she can do things on her own, but is much more capable with a friend

playing the ufo 50 nonogram fangame and @kayin.moe 's review of block koala echo in my mind: "a curse upon completionists" 102 10x10 51 10x15 102 15x15 and when you think you're done... every nonogram game has entirely too many nonograms

I fucking hate working with macs so much man fuck you it's time to update some random bullshit (crucially, nothing is actually going to improve) everything you do is broken now you updated something through the path we suggested yeah it's broken anyway figure it out

I do not wish to be on the sacrificial chopping block of capitalism, but at least I am aware that's where we're at. Goddamn AI bros.

finished psychonauts 2 what a fantastic game, it's crazy they made a sequel 16 years later that doesn't fall for any traps of trying to update the original and no kickstarter traps of scope creep

Being the one person in a family gathering pushing back against the absolute dumbest shit stories someone's going on about is maddening. Half the shit is absolute bullshit made up bullshit they heard from someone that is treated as truth and the other is "I'm just saying what I heard".

"I ran into the one engineer that was on his day off when a rocket blew up and he was sad about losing his favorite screwdriver." no you ran into a stranger and believed any shit he said. "musk used space lasers to count votes before the results were in" do you fucking hear yourself

AI aficcionados and bots can understand if you mention AI or agent but they can't read that the rest of the message is fuck off I hate AI very cool I love to get a bunch of new followers that are just AI slop I definitely didn't immediately block them

hot take that might maybe not be a hot take games randomly having a minigame that's completely different from the main game are fine as long as the minigame isn't extremely important to the main game AND difficult, it can be one or the other, not both FFVII canyon RTS? great FFX chocobo race? bad

got carried in poe2 from 85 -> 90 if I come back next season I need some sort of giant guide on what the fuck is endgame supposed to be like because it's a clusterfuck of systems

Had the strangest dream. The company I was working on had suddenly massively shifted towards AI use and I got a call from a coworker because he had a gift, but it wasn't actually a gift, it was something he wanted to hide in my home because he was afraid the company would take it from him otherwise.

They're using the old systems, the ones without AI which I was still working on, which were awkward to use and didn't show them the data they wanted, because they wanted metrics on which worker did more work, not on what was going on with the clients. "we can't run the numbers on this".

So everyone who was using AI tools was just...competing with other workers about their metrics on "work" done. What the tool was supposed to do was no longer the focus, just these metrics.

I go check and it's some upper management lady who proclaims we're having our next meeting in my living room. Something like 30 people walk in, they prepare a projector, a snack bar. She starts going over metrics of how much work has been done, how many points each worker got.

Someone gets praised by going from 63 to 103 points from the previous month, with 103 being considered a very good number, but then gets admonished because just a few months before they had hit 260. A bunch more of metrics are talked about. Then she wants to use the tools we made to check something.

It was some MTG books and cards, nothing much, I hid it in a wardrobe. Not too long after, I find out a high school classmate I haven't spoken with since also got hired; he's all-in on AI use as it has been paying well, but he still lives in a super shitty neighborhood. Someone knocks on the door.

caligula effect 2 is a game where all the villains are so much worse than 1 but I think ultimately having incredibly stupid motives actually makes them more villainous the ratio of people who need therapy versus people who are evil for petty reasons is so skewed in 2
