- Comment on Fun yet unknown gameplay MECHANICS? (POLL) 16 hours ago:
Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.
I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I’d like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.
- Comment on My 8-bit isometric Room Designer Simulator is now available on Itch.io! 5 days ago:
Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.
- Comment on Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk | 404 Media 2 weeks ago:
None of them do. They just edit things down to the very few moments that make them look like they’re winning a debate, and even those moments are superficial, construed, or they don’t know that they’re actually losing. If it’s live or in person, conflicting views and evidence are avoided or just ignored. They’re all snakes as if snakes were made of slime.

I did assume a thing or two I guess lol. I got a refurb when it was cheaper than a fix. Wonder if that counts as a “new” phone… Theseus would probably like to have a word.

Obviously there’s the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.
- Comment on Is there a way to have a "watch later" or "favorite" list that works across different websites? 11 months ago:
The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.
- Comment on Bing translate got it spot on 11 months ago:
Yeah, I saw that synopsis under the knowyourmeme result lol. There’s always that one friend/relative. Kind of funny there’s never really been a phrase for it before.
Still, I like the thought of it meaning everyone has that one food they really like and will steal a bite if anyone gets it.
- Comment on Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right. 11 months ago:
I think I’ve always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I’ve felt some fomo in recent years lol
- Comment on Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right. 11 months ago:
Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.
Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

- Comment on Bing translate got it spot on 11 months ago:
I was wondering if “fanatic” ironically could have come from the French language. Looking at the etymology I’m now wondering if “fanum tax” stems from Latin.

It’s quite a thing, that could only be a product of the 70s. Might make you go “huh?”, and is almost certainly the only context I feel comfortable with the word transvestite today.
