I finally started playing Final Fantasy 9. Been meaning to play it for the longest time, but life got in the way every time, lol. I'm currently on Disc 3, and so far I love it! It's an incredibly beautiful game, the story is great and characters are amazing. Also I would literally die for Vivi.

I've programmed computers for decades way before LLMs became a thing, without any issues, so yeah I wouldn't mind if "AI" tools just fucked off one day. Would honestly be a breath of fresh air.

As the 48 hour Druffle gate news cycle comes to an end (in the best way it could, good on them for that) I feel like it's worth highlighting something that most creators uncomfortably understand and just deal with. It is _impossible_ to prevent having your avatar shared after it is bought. π§΅

My Favorite Streaming Service Is a DVD Player and My Library Card
A small, affordable DVD player can be an easy way to make use of once-beloved discs sitting around your apartment.

Hot take: _Any_ DRM is always bad and a security risk, and yes that includes VRChat avatar bases made by small creators as well.

Because YouTube decided to jumpscare me today by showing Palmer Luckey's fugly-ass face in my recommendations, here's a friendly PSA to NOT buy ModRetro products. Its founder is a war-profiteer and is funded by literal blood money.

Is VR full body tracking still annoying to deal with in 2026? Asking as someone who has Vive Trackers 3.0 but haven't used them regularly since like 2024 (I do use them once in a while, but rarely).
