That said, I feel like I would have run this game better if I had just finished Hollow Knight.

Playing Memories in Orbit. I’m on my fourth fast-paced-perfection-required-platforming section of the night, and my fucking palms ache after squeezing the controller in hopes that my muscle memory will carry me through -this time-!

Returning to this post to say: how did you know I’m playing Memories in Orbit?!

Why.bsky.team is blocking me too!

Awww hell yeah.

A wonderful piece about my favorite Ghibli film.

The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

I’ll be picking it up when the physical copy drops in a couple of months. I’m thrilled that it turned out how it did.

Got through it. Easier than expected, but yeeeeesh no.

I really do not know how to finish this part with the mannequins, and I’m not thrilled about tinkering with the mechanics to figure out how because I am a coward.

Trying to finish the Shadows of Rose expansion of RE8, and I’ll be damned if this isn’t some of the creepiest stuff in the entire series. I mean, low bar, sure, but daaaamn.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

I'm sorry but I still refuse to believe this man is only seven

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com #ArtificialIntelligence systems increasingly shape and permeate our mentality and social environments. Like every great historical transformation, this too calls not only for technical competence, but also for a humanistic formation capable of making visible the logic behind economics, embedded biases and forms of power that shape our perception of reality. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 91K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 209K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 696K Views

This short thread is worth reading:

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS

AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING

WERE

BOTH

RIGHT

A personal favorite.

I seem to recall it was shortly before the whole thing collapsed.

I trust Square Enix to remake any of their classic games as much as I trust my dog to guard my dinner.

I feel like I'm living in an invasion of the body snatchers movie

Yeah, thats what my wife said when she saw the pic.

Me trying to tune into Bluesky

I showed it to my wife and she said it’s pre-sliced gyro meat from Kronos, and that she’s served it when working for the hospital ages ago.

I remain unconvinced.

Oh fuck, yeah, some of the bosses in that game a brutal. I still have yet to defeat the secret boss at the end.

The lack of saves between fights in that part is downright cruel given the time it takes to play through it all. Which is why I kinda just bailed on it.

An ominous Bluesky failure.

Ah, the Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne punishment.

Mike. Crapo.

I…I don’t even know how to make a joke here. Motherfucker is named Mike Crapo. He had to have had the worst childhood, and instead of going to therapy, he became a Republican senator.

Literally logged into work to see an email about training on Copilot and laughed like hell as I deleted it.

Hi I'm Bluesky, I love AI code and dropping a cartoon anvil on my head that causes a tall lump to spontaneously form and birds to circle my head
