i know it's only working cause i'm on noob lobbies but it's really easy to just outfarm them and become big and scary

fuck the 'game for unemployed people' thing, it took me like ten hours and watching a few videos to understand enough to be Playing The Game (not necessarily well) and then it's just the best

huge day to learn about the shape of everyone's hands

I haven’t posted anything controversial in a while, I think, so here goes: C is for crouch. It’s not Control. It should be C. You can easily hit C with your thumb, as well as jump, so you can crouch jump. Ctrl is way too far down for a pinky to hit in the heat of battle.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

# BANNED AND RESTRICTED ANNOUNCEMENT / 09/30/2026 One-card spread: The Ten of Swords is *banned* The Nine of cups is *banned* Another season of pro tarot league is almost upon us. While most formats are thriving, in the fast and degenerate world of one-card we're seeing concerning metagame data,

i think what's making me feel so weird is that i'm used to looking through open source projects and knowing that whatever was there was a product of care, love, and thought. it felt so lovely and warm!

Gotta say, as someone that spent 15 years of my spare time hacking away at a fan-made remake of a PS1 game, I have rather complicated feelings about the fact that people can just use AI agents to make native ports now in the space of days.

and now to feel that warmth towards a project i have to go through a process of suspicion, one where a clean and professional readme/website/ci is no longer a mark of pride but pretty good reason to feel even more suspicious.

his name is lethargic. he's an IRC chatbot I wrote in 2011 and has been through IRC, skype, and is now on discord (in private servers with friends.) the algorithm has been unchanged since the beginning.

this month i've become a nixos person. it's the first time a linux desktop has lived up to my hopes of having fun messing around on the computer. complex configuration is easy, fucking up is fine. it's joyous.

one of those evangelicals described it as feeling like 'endgame' for your computer. which i think is perhaps a little hopeful but i definitely feel it too.

if you're a technical person who bounced off desktop linux due to feeling that your desire for playfulness and ownership came at the cost of eternal maintenance, maybe try this. i think it's something new.

fwiw a lot of the joy i'm feeling is from finally being able to live on linux, but what's made that possible is nixos's declarativeness and centralisation tapering the mental cost of increasing complexity. as opposed to your install slowly becoming a burden

learning it is very much like rust where you eat early complexity and unfamiliarity for long term simplicity. which i think is why a lot of the same people are evangelical about it in the same way?
