A Frogs Gent. Aspiring programmer of neat things.
Human preferences, especially concerning aesthetics, are not strictly rational, and that's probably fine, but it does mean you see a lot of arguments where people accuse other people of being hypocrites for disliking X when they like Y and.... Yeah, that's how that usually works.
Many jokes are good for a laugh, but sometimes people make jokes and then say "but this is actually true, there are people who actually think specifically this" and... I don't know if that's wise all the time. But of course, such is the nature of the human experience.
Back in my day, the expected value problem that tripped people up involved doors and a goat.
More fantasy creatures and cultures should be llama-themed.
Remake of The Big O. Either animated or Live Action. Nobody will make this, nobody should make this, but I want it anyway.

Humans are prone to the wackiest things, which can be a source of both great frustration and great amusement.
Okay but like, if every single time a woman goes to the doctor for any reason she's Aggressively Asked if she wants to try GLP-1s, you can see why that might be worth interrogating, right
"Why yes, I do think umbrellas will become the most important thing in the future" -Man selling umbrellas
People can twist themselves into funny balls defending what they see as Their Bag, I've noticed.
Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children The translation is clearly Google-Powered, the game doesn't properly explain a solid third of its mechanics, and there's an evil cult called The Spoonists. It's also genuinely one of the most engaging tactics RPGs I've ever played.
Apogee Entertainment@apogeeent.com · 3mo agoOh you’re a gamer? Name a game you defended no matter what.
I wonder what the literary equivalent of "Videogames have come a long way since Pac-Man" is. "Epics have come a long way since Gilgamesh".
C-3PO is grievously underutilized for how much he shows up in the movies. Beneath his fussy protocol droid exterior should be an introspective soul, keenly aware of the strange turns of fate his life has taken.
Local Observer 🇮🇶🇵🇸🍉@observer46664.bsky.social · 3mo agoENGAGEMENT BAIT! What is your MOST CONTROVERSIAL Star Wars opinion? And I don't want embarrassingly lukewarm takes like "Jabba The Hutt was actually a good employer". I need opinions that could land you in jail. GO!
If I keep seeing those Ironic AI-generated Slop Propaganda Posters I might start replying to them with The Spiral of Contempt. I don't begrudge anyone who finds them fun, but personally I consider them viscerally unpleasant.
Okay so Mythos is supposed to be this new AI model that's Too Powerful and the public shouldn't have access to it, but it's also Very Important that Anthropic tells everyone they have it, because... Because? I'm genuinely not sure what's happening here.
I still haven't done any vibe coding because I'm still in graduate school, so it's going to be very interesting when I finally actually Use The Thing and see what all the fuss is about. On one hand, I can't wait. On the other hand, it's going to be so weird.
A few random ones -Zin promised himself he wouldn't accept a promotion to S-Rank until he proposed to Kilika. Kilika knows this and thinks it's Ridiculous Man Pride Nonsense. -Estelle can beat Rean in a straight fight. -Prince Olivert and Schera's child is a precocious sort.
RavenMercenaryDenton@ravenmercdenton.bsky.social · 4mo agoTo any Trails fans; What are your personal head cannons? (Would throw mine in, but I've only played In the Sky and Cold Steel).
Computers are mysterious sorcery boxes. (This is sort of a joke, and also sort of not a joke)
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhat's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?
Sometimes I feel I've always had the spirit of a Geezer, and perhaps my acceptance of this Geezerdom has been a boon.
Well, now I get to wait for *two* next Trails games. That's a first. I think.
QTP with a male character you love, I believe the saying goes.
Aletheia Silverblade@theia.xipha.social · 6mo agoQTP with a male character you love!
New banner image (is that what it's called? A banner image?) Thought it'd be fun.
My great-great (maybe a third great in there?) grandfather was the illegitimate son of a Polish woman and a Catholic priest and when she got married, he was sent to America as a teenager. He later began operating a speakeasy during prohibition.
virgotex@virgotex.bsky.social · 6mo agoGenuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here? Mine: religious nuttery & primogeniture
Holy mercy, design patterns. Such a marvelous concept of Computer Science.
Spending a whole day trying to find a pharmacy that has Adderall, a thrilling adventure that never fails to Bum Me Out. At least I managed to get it.
I try not to be a Luddite, but it does sometimes feel like whenever somebody articulates some criticism X of AI-generated code, a handful of people respond with "if you think X is a problem, you're Doing It Wrong" which... doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
At the final dungeon of Trails in the Sky 1st. The nostalgia is real.
