Game idea: FFVII spinoff where AVALANCHE goes after AI data centers.
Cool to see Johnson make your A tier! Mind sharing why you think so highly of him? I used to live in Milwaukee, but haven't paid much attention to it since leaving back when Barrett was mayor.
I really wish "I don’t talk about this much because it’s very far from my own personal areas of knowledge and experience" could be the default position for everybody on the internet.
Like clockwork, a majority of the replies to this post are engaged in a competition to see who can prove your point hardest.
I’ve been an MBP/iPhone/Apple Watch user for ages, but moving my primary e-mail from Gmail to iCloud makes me feel like I’m now in a committed relationship with 🍎.
I had to leave the room when my parents' favorite show (Friends) was on.
I miss making cool websites.
By the way, if you're anxious about AI taking your job, maybe don't jump on every opportunity to provide others evidence you're completely replaceable.
There are few things more deeply insulting than someone communicating with you through obviously AI-generated prose. If you have so little self-respect that you want to outsource your thinking to the hallucinatory slop machine, that's your prerogative, but don't drag me into the gutter with you.
The world of software dev is losing everything that made me fall in love with it in the first place.
Wild that serebii.net is called that because it was founded before we knew Celebi’s English name.
Defeated the Elite Four with the perfect team.
@antialiasis.dragonflycave.com I've been on a Gen 3 kick and am using your FR/LG walkthrough (as I imagine many will with the upcoming re-release)! Just want to say it's still helpful & totally charming, especially as it becomes clear towards the end that you were not thrilled about writing it. 😂
It’s here. A recap of my #SpotifyWrapped
Master Chief comes to PlayStation.
Halo: Campaign Evolved launches on PS5 next year, rebuilt and modernized with 2-player local co-op and 4-player online co-op: play.st/4oAYnr5
Steam is a great ecosystem for, like, 70% of my gaming preferences. Going to try using it a bit more (while reserving PlayStation for the AAA titles I don't want to experience via Steam Deck).
Feel free to add me if you'd like! steamcommunity.com/id/ArcMoogle/
Are you interested in trying any of those? I totally understand a general aversion to AAA gaming, but there are some real gems in that list too.
Keep up the good fight! 🙏 (From one of your constituents in O'side!)
I'll continue to cope by maintaining a permanent state of optimism and thinking we'll all ultimately be fine.
Was already on the fence about if I'll support this (already platinum'd Ys X), but no PlayStation release makes that decision even easier.

Apparently Eritrea 🇪🇷 isn't very permissive with .er TLDs, so my dream of owning of benschroed.er will remain just that. 😔
I knew you at some point during this timeline, but it was only ever as Eevee, the smart, witty, interesting person who curated the #tcod IRC community that helped me cope with my own adolescent troubles. I’m sorry this stuff was done to you. You deserve all good things. 🩷
Studying @antialiasis.dragonflycave.com's Voltorb Flip guide years ago prepared me for this moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5bz...
I admire the way you can articulate the vague feelings of LLM-slop-related dread I have but am not quite cerebral enough to verbalize.
I really enjoy your writing. Even now, when my brain struggles to focus on longer-form text, I find your posts so gripping. I’m so glad you continue to do it. 🩷
