GOG why do you have absolutely zero patch notes for your installs? How am I supposed to know if your install is the same or different from the latest Steam update of the same game? That's kind of an important thing to have when you explicitly tout mod compatibility as a core feature of the game.

Oh cool that weird RPGmaker game with wild gender simulations has a demo. Oh but Steam isn't letting me install it. Let's try it in browser *AI warning triggers* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've gotten a few rounds of criticism for my writing but one I've gotten multiple times is that I shouldn't be writing about something if my opinion doesn't match everyone else's. and all I have to say to that is, fuck off???

Not to downplay cheating and how much that sucks for the person it happened to, but 99% of the time when someone is thrown cheating allegations there is *always* something they did that's way worse. Cheating allegations are almost a smokescreen to bury much worse crimes. Don't let it distract you.

Any time someone gets accused of cheating my instinctual response is "okay and what else?" Because it's never *just* cheating, and frankly I don't really give a shit about famous people's interpersonal relationships. Cheating on someone sucks, but it's not cancel-worthy. You need more than that.

I'll get to FF Resonance too but I gotta get paid first. I wasn't expecting it to be as well-received as it is and now I gotta see it for myself.

Gotta love finding out a popular internet person is an antishipper who uses their clout to chase literal rape victims off the internet because they think someone's memoirs are proship fanfiction I'm not naming names since I'd need stronger evidence than one accusation but goddamn I learned too much

Hikaria Yumiko is a name I generated in 2014 for my at-the-time underage F-list account. Hikari was taken so I stuck an A on the end. I got into Skyrim the same year and the name just stuck. (and for the record I never actually did anything on F-list. I didn't even talk to anyone)

#wolqotd / #wolquestion Does your handle mean anything for your wol / oc or is it just a random @ you chose?

On & off I've been writing an expose on a popular game industry person but a lot of receipts are still on Twitter and it's excruciating trying to find them. Even more excruciating is they're for something particularly egregious that'd require receipts to corroborate.

Teaching kids how to use emulators is important but we specifically gotta teach em how to use standalone emus, otherwise they'll end up using something Retroarch-based and Retroarch is objectively terrible.

One of the most baffling conversations I had when I still used Reddit was someone saying I should just quit gaming if I don't want to play games with AI, like there isn't a four-decade library of titles made before this scam existed and tons of studios today who refuse to use it.

Got subjected to the Street Fighter 2 anime last night and man no one ever told me we have a canonical instance of Chun Li naked. Unfortunately it wasn't Cammy but beggars can't be choosers.

I need a browser extension that auto-warns me if a GitHub repository has Claude as a contributor, like the one that pops up AI warnings on Steam games.

Borderlands 2 writing is wild because it'll mostly be tryhard teenager humor but then out of nowhere it'll be like hey did you know the bandits on this planet were former blue collar workers who just got stranded by the corporation who brought them here to begin with?

Borderlands' narrative structure should've stuck with the first game. Let some writers come up with a world and don't let any of them try to design a cutscene or have a plot the player is expected to sit through. The series has some immaculate world building but it has no idea how to present it.

Tried hosting my own WoW server again and not only did it run like garbage, but it also made my entire PC run like garbage, even after shutting the server down. Had to restart and it took multiple minutes; which never happens. Looked up the Github page for the server and sure enough, Claude.

I should not be surprised that WoW servers would be all-in on vibecoding, since basically all of the play-with-bots servers shovel ChatGPT onto the bots so they can respond to messages. But this is the first time I've seen code run so bad it slowed my entire PC down even *after* closing the software

I was already against vibecoding just on account of it running like shit, but the fact that I could accidentally download some software that actively poisons the rest of my PC just from how shit it runs is horrifying. It's the modern computer virus.

Downloading a big file through Proton Drive makes me really glad I'm just on the VPN. And I'm getting ready to jump ship from the VPN anyway.

Man, I had high hopes for Enshrouded and the game itself has some really cool systems, but the performance is so dogass that I can't recommend it at the moment. Game runs like it's still in early access.

I'd play Valheim instead but that one doesn't have a keep inventory setting and I'm REALLY fuckin sick of survival games making me drop everything on death. Sirs I am a mortal being, I already avoid death, you don't have to give me further incentive to avoid it.

After finishing Borderlands 4 I immediately went back to 2 but decided to revisit the Zer0 I initially beat the game with. I was going for a melee build and still want to try it, however, kunai

Went to a social event tonight and looking at where the venue ones I'm realizing it's right around the block to the only barcade in the city. Chat I have a new monthly social routine.

I turned 21 right as covid hit so I got robbed of my early-20s adult hanging out with other adults life period. I'm only now beginning to seize that opportunity and actually start doing things with other people in person.
