buddy if you didn't want people angrily responding when you announced changes to your content policy but didn't have prepared details as to what those policy changes were, why did you start an isolated one-size-fits-all moderated platform and then announce policy changes while leaving the details undecided then

lol @ cohost “ complete transparency into our process can backfire??”

Hisuian Zoroark, the Resentful TF Pokémon

i think it is both funny and accurate that Hisuian Zoroark has a 7♂:1♀ sex distribution and also looks like this

feels a bit disrespectful to me like you're missing the point of the book

why does everyone sort books by colour these days doesn't that make it hard to find what you need

i just think that pokémon has gotten a lot better at making good games but less good at making fun ones

there's a way in which having a good game is more important; like chess is boring as shit but people still play it because it is a Good Game

but i don't think that with pokémon the two have to be at odds necessarily, since there is lots of game which is not battling and more than enough pokémon to where they don't all have to be designed with competition in mind. there's lots of room to stick in fun things which don't step on the toes of any of the lasting Game aspects. i don't think it's a tactical decision not to i think they've just gotten bad at it

to be clear i still enjoyed Shining Pearl quite a bit

as someone who grew up with Gen IV and thought Platinum was great and HeartGold was kind of mediocre, it was interesting this year to learn that i have way more fun playing Crystal than Shining Pearl

these quotes from https://tratt.net/laurie/blog/2022/uml_my_part_in_its_downfall.html

« At one extreme was a camp that wanted to put a badge on their existing imperative programming language and call it QVT. At the other extreme was a camp that believed one could specify first order logic constraints and always efficiently find an optimal solution (something that would lead to the known laws of mathematics being rewritten). »

« Other than their nationality, the various French proposals shared nothing in common, so their collective stance kept changing depending on who was representing the group at any given point in time. This was highly amusing, but indicative of an ineffective standardisation process. »

« The standardisation community universally agreed that UML 2 would need rigorous underpinnings. However, no-one knew exactly what "rigorous" should mean, or how one should go about achieving it. Gradually, a small group of academics, who did have an idea of what rigorous could mean and how one could go about it, became involved in standardisation. »

it's very depressing for it to not feel at all like fall but still get dark at 7PM

it looks like this year the weather has decided to just give us late summer weather with shorter day lengths instead of giving us fall and i'm not here for it
