One of the more interesting parts of my bluesky experience is occasionally seeing two people I follow with so wildly different opinions on a recent film/tv show/game that I wonder if they even saw the same thing. Then I check it out myself and wonder if any of the three of us did.

Thanks hbomberguy for dropping a 4 1/2 hour video for patreons right when I was supposed to be having a productive day 👍

Love having weird audio sensitivities that mean I will hear a type of distortion on audio I've recorded one day, freak out about it, then the next day it is just gone and I don't know if it ever existed.

I might be a bit chubby atm but yesterday I deadlifted 100kg for 8 reps which felt good 💪💪💪

I don't mean to brag but I made it through 3 hours of chatting to people and I'm only second guessing whether I should have said 85% of the stuff I came out with 😏

In all seriousness though I've had a couple of weeks of being on and off ill where I looked visibly sick so it's nice not to look like that for a change.

Shout out to exercise for taking me from the platonic ideal of a 6 to a somehow slightly more disappointing 6.5

My trusty audio editing headphones might finally be breaking down after all this time 😭

Oh nice Fields of Mystria hit 1.0, can't wait to finally break that tsundere blacksmith's will and marry him.

I also thought about these guys when I recently replayed the original Wing Commander, a game from 36 years ago, that has a varied cast of people of all different ethnicities and genders in the 80s/90s Star Trek style that it just presents as the default without commenting on it.

It's funny when you see some anti-woke chud being like 'modern games suck because of this stuff' because it outs them as outrage merchants who don't play many games. Like my dude as a consumer we would still be in a golden age of video games even if you excluded all the ones with 'woke' elements.

Uping my policy of blocking anyone who follows tens of thousands of accounts on attempted follow to anyone whose profile bio includes mentions of Trump and blue MAGA shit.

Really hoping that Pathologic 3 manages to build up more of a fan following over the years because its a bit sad to see the sheer number of resources available for 2 online meanwhile 3 doesn't even have a wikipedia page.

Given the Harry Potter slavery stuff is coming up again, the weirdest part is that the series introduced a slave desperate to escape captivity in one book, showed it as an absolute moral good when he was freed, THEN WENT BACK IN ANOTHER BOOK and was like 'no actually he was weird this shit rules'

Thinking of engaging in some rootin' and optionally some tootin'

Sure do love having autistic hyperfocus on researching a video project for weeks then suddenly remembering there's a reason I can't possibly cover its subject for another couple of years and just crashing to earth.

Wild to realise that Trump's approval rating is now already statistically indistinguishable from his post January 6th numbers

You can tell I had a radically different experience playing Pathologic 2 and Pathologic 3 because I replayed 2 half a dozen times before feeling prepared to make a video on it and with 3 I honestly feel like it would be more interesting not to replay it at all before trying to write something.

I'm reminded of how Ben Shapiro's crew of shit heads wanted to do a documentary where they would try and use this same bullshit to get themselves into womens sports, only to discover that the only way they would be let in is if they actually medically transitioned and had to make it fiction instead.

Royce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"

[the word paradise derives from the Avestan Iranian word pairidaeza which means walled park and more specifically referred to a kind of achaemenid garden]

Folks it's fine to not want to have kids, the odds are good I won't have them either, but if you regularly bring up that you don't like children and are rude and dismissive of them whenever they're around then I'm going to consider you an incredibly shitty and immature person.

Everyone say well done Charles for finishing and submitting a creative writing contest entry despite feeling ill

Love having just over 24 hours left to finish something for a writing contest and also being too sick to finish it 😟

It's wild how long that whole 'i don't want equality of outcome instead we should have equality of opportunity' talking point stuck around when everyone using it was a right winger who would then immediately follow it up by arguing for policies designed to also prevent equality of opportunity.

Randomly picked up an old boxed copy of Ultima 8 and wow can you tell that game designers in the mid 90s were eager to try and grab themselves some of that Doom controversy to move sales?

Right I've wasted enough time spending the last few weeks hyperfixated on the Ultima series, time to get back to working on the Myst video followup.

Saw an Ayn Rand quote in an unrelated book that was like 'The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity' and I just put my head in my hands and was like yeah, you think?!!!'
