Seeing too much downward curved nail slander.

The closing, memorial text for rom repository Myrient, read as follows: "Once upon a time, Myrient was a fast and reliable video game preservation service with over 390 terabytes of organized collections publicly available for download. "Myrient was shut down on 31 March 2026. More information about the closure can be found on our Discord server and Telegram channel. "Our other service, hShop, will continue to be available for the forseeable future. Thank you for using and supporting Myrient over the years."

My memory is shot, but I can swear Twelve Foot Ninja was on my naughty list for some tweets back in the day 🤨 But I came across them again...and good lord the bangers are undeniable.😮‍💨 Progrock, Numetal, Faith no More, Djent, and Aussie.

At the very bottom of the site it says Estonia. Which would explain things... lol

I have a theory.
From the very limited searching I've done, it seems like the term "sawdust" (when it comes to nails) pops up in direct translations from Russian to English...?

American Creator is really bad with the descriptions on their site.

"Solid gel of comfortable consistency - for building up without surface sawdust, as well as strengthening the nail plate with sawing out the free edge from the inside."

WHAT???

Ever since I've been looking into gel nails in English, I've been highly confused many times. Some brands like using their own made up terms. I just want to know if it's hard or soft gel 🥲

Does it work properly? No.
Are the people making it acting in good faith? No.
Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No.
Does it make people's lives better? No.
Will it make people's lives better? No.
Is it profitable? No.
Is it popular? No.
Is it harmless? No.

The argument for AI.

Tired of this higglywop termonius harry potter stuff.😀

There's a store here selling a jar of Naturie Hatomugi skin conditioner. That's wild for an island this tiny on the opposite side of the glob lol

It's double the US price (which was already almost triple the price compared to a jar in Japan)😭I still might get it.

Koh Gen Do foundation $118 on Beautylish. An unused bottle on Mercari in Japan was like 3,000 yen ($20).......

Been busy with work and obsessing over nails recently. It kind of sucks not having access to Japanese brands anymore. Kokoist was never my jam but they seem to be one of the only brands that bothered branching out internationally.

I have so much acrylic powder, but I feel like I can do everything I want with gel instead. It's just easier for me to use and there's never lifting, even with my hard gel.

Real Killer (No Chorus)

Casually relistening to Mor ve Ötesi's Büyük Düşler album. Totally planned on crying today anyway, so...

Good news: I have lots of work and now make more than I ever have before
Bad news: The money is in yen (and I'm not in Japan anymore)...

The Killing Stone, a deckbuilding card battler by Question Games, is out now. Localization with the help of LocQuest.

Beat the Devil at his own game. The Killing Stone is a deckbuilding card battler wrapped in a 17th century occult horror narrative. Clean the sins of a cursed family by bargaining against a series of demons - and outwitting the Devil himself. LocQuest localized The Killing Stone into 4 languages: German, Spanish (LatAm), French, and Chinese (Simplified).

Two quotes. One from Michael Kelly, COO: “Translating our 17th century occult horror which is very particular about using period references and context would be impossible without professional human translators, who not only took time to research and understand the intention, but also took care to keep the musicality of the prose. The team at LocQuest were up to the task of preserving the little details that matter to great storytelling.” Another from J. Thomas, Lead Writer & VO Director: ““I'm lighting a candle for the hyper-committed, thoughtful translators at LocQuest.”

The names and roles of all the localization managers, translators, and LQA specialists involved in localizing the game.

Good vs Evil 😇😈
Ethical vs Unethical ⚖️💰
Quality vs Slop ✅🤖

Ask ye these three questions whilst battling through Question Games’ self-published @thekillingstone.com

Localization was a feat unto itself: masses of words and four tongues traversing four phases. 🛡️

Play, if you dare ⚙️

The only thing I'm worried about is some gimmicky AI button that gets in the way...

Nothing Phone 4a in this light pink color? 😭🔥I'm pretty much sold...
Finally something that's not pepto bismol pink or purple pink.

I was looking forward to a nice thunderstorm tomorrow, but it looks like it's not coming...

My sister happened to save pretty much all our files and photos over the last two decades on an old hard drive. My jaw has been on the floor seeing stuff I thought was lost forever 😭

My favorite thing about browsing okstupid is the number of profiles listing their IQ as 120-139 or 140-159 🫠

Found time to update Immich and import new photos. Jumping back into self hosting stuff after months of not touching anything was a bit confusing. Now I'm just waiting for my HDD to get here so I can finally remove stuff from Google😭

I'm alive! But my blog is so neglected. Been quite busy...

Unsurprisingly too tired to do anything during this long layover...

Seems like Mingi shaved down his iconic front tooth... 😔
