PRIOR legitimately does atmosphere and intrigue better than most other games I’ve played and it’s a flash game you can beat in half an hour I started (and never quite finished) a remake of it 2 years ago so that it wouldn’t be lost to flash being dead www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

@raddagher.bsky.social I love your videos and articles and I realized that there is a distinct lack of Evil and Intimidating Horses in the -J section of the wiki I am not an author (yet) and I think that considering your track record you would be perfect for filling this glaring hole

Cooler temperatures mean people spend more time inside More time inside means people are more likely to get spicy with partners More spicy experiences increases inspiration for hot art Games are art So yeah it would be

The whole "tradwife" thing honestly gets *less* weird for me if I conceive of it as some sort of kinkplay instead of a conservative ideal. If it was just a kink thing I'd be all "hell yeah do what you like" but it seems to not be 99% of the time

Used to just be the weird kids who were rejected from most socialization and the ones who were too anxious to speak who would struggle to have friends and make them up on the computer instead, now seems to be everyone with even a bit of a fear of rejection

...I made that sound very bad. To be fair it was, it sucks to do. But like... it's still worrying to me how readily and quickly people are going to AI. Def more than there were just being lonely.
IntangibleMatter (@intangiblematter.net) reply parent
Like when I was a teen I'd just be lonely and then fake texts to myself if I really wanted to. How dopamine-starved desperate are people to choose a chatbot without feelings over trudgding through reality?

kids these days have fake relationships with AI instead of faking texts to themselves and it's honestly deeply concerning

It’s weird because I have every skill that goes into *making* good art except the ability to actually… get it on a page. Frustrating but at least it means that when I work with artists I can give more pointed direction than people without the knowledge
IntangibleMatter (@intangiblematter.net) reply parent
Yeah that’s why I’ve accepted I probably don’t have the attention to be good at two very hard things at once so I stick to programming I love art but my skills have not meaningfully improved since I was like 5, not for lack of practice

the other wrinkle in all these "we're banning porn for UK users!" and "bluesky isn't available in mississippi" stories that no one seems to be talking about: geo-ip is inaccurate as shit, even before VPNs get involved. you can't just detect where people are with any kind of consistency

I will never not argue for English being JavaScript - Very popular - Messy and inconsistent in a lot of places - Most dominant language in large part due to right place/right time - you can get a fair amount done with very little knowledge of it but it will probably be unpleasant - very obfuscatable
IntangibleMatter (@intangiblematter.net) reply parent
No, English is the JavaScript of irl languages. Japanese is more like Forth or something else weird and unique like that

I really hope they make one of the next COD games secretly be a spiritual successor to Spec Ops: The Line. It'd be great seeing the blow-up online about a COD game lying to you and actually making the player a villain instead of Unquestionable Badass #372

I think it’s because most people on the left want things to be “better” for everyone- but nobody can agree on what “better” means so there’s infighting The right tends to focus a lot more on defining themselves against an out-group, which means they’re less prone to infighting. Ppl like enemies

I always describe English as the JavaScript of spoken languages because it’s a mess and you can mangle it and it’ll still *work* even if it isn’t “nice” or right Also because the basics are simple and because of what it was used for it got put everywhere even where it shouldn’t be
