Moderating on discord has come to a point where considering to ban people for saying hi is a valid consideration, because one hasn't seen it end in anything but commission scams for so long. It's tiring.

So I wondered a thing. How high would Scrooge McDucks money bin need to be if he had a trillion dollar in dollar coins and the bin had a base of 300meter squared (~1k feet squared). I arrived at the number of roughly 7800 meter or 26 thousand feet. Feels wrong...

Just saw this on amazon and there is a special hell for people making this slop. I hate that AI is like some invasive species sucking the quality and fun out of everything.

I just realized something: Sometimes you see those prank youtubers and one asks themselves how someone could come to such harmful and disruptive ideas and think it is okay. And than it hit me. These are people that grew up with hidden camera prank shows. Same idea but 20ish years earlier.

You know. Every time I see XBox users scream for a port of games to their console I wonder if it was worth it even if the economics looked better. GoG you at least can wear like a badge of anti DRM honor and XBox plays in that ball park (not the PS) of that without the badge.

So I remembered that this plane called a Super Guppy exists. And I thought to myself that we live in a time where you see a picture of it and the most reasonable assumption in our brains is probably that it's AI generated when it's as real as you and I.

Given how much love people have for most old consoles (NES/SNES/N64/PS1/PS2/XBOX) I wonder if there are also people that are fans of PC-98 and want that style of game to return.

If you are old enough you remember this fight in the early pokemon anime. And what it taught you is that if it looks like a rock electric isn't doing jack squad. I was today years old when I learned that's not true and it's only because onix is part GROUND that pikachu has such a hard time. #TIL

Never have I seen as spiteful fans as windows fans when something uses not windows. Also known as: Listening to someone asspulling stats they make up because they still believe Linux is stuck in the 90s makes me wanna strangle people.

So I just learned Andrew Dice from Carpe Fulgur passed away and due to that Carpe Fulgur will cease operations. That one hurts hard deep down. Recettear was an important point in my journey to fall in love with indies. So seeing that transpire just feels rough.

Small note I wanted to make about Gamescom and submitting stuff for the press for all #indiegames : Gamescom is stressy and one gets a lot of applications for games. So if you want to contact press do so early. Even if there is information still outstanding it doesn't hurt to reach out early. (1/2)

I need some artist to pick up this idea and run with it. There has to be some artist out there that both knows FF13 and has my crude sense of humor, right?

I gotta ask: How do you younger wippersnappers fight the urge to not take your smartphone and snap it in half everytime one wrong swipe does something unintended that takes like 5-10 minutes to undo because the UI on smartphones sucks harder than a baby on it's mothers milk dispenser.
