i used to write fedi software and contribute interesting meta and have thought-provoking discussions with well-known names and faces and believe in the power of community and the power of individuals to help each other and save lives and chart a collective better path forward. then something happened. hmmm

sometimes i see someone on here from 2017 and they still have a following and still are well-liked and i wonder why i failed to achieve that

and then i remember i explicitly gave up on this place as a community and have no interest in maintaining social networks with the kinds of people or in the kinds of ways it would take to make that happen

and then i judge them

girls LOVE HAVING CLOTHES
and HATE COPS

by pride i mostly just mean caring passionately about certain local foods

girlfriend’s sibling’s partner is from Everett and it’s amazing how much worse westsiders are at having regional pride

2025 is off to a start

i hardly think all journalists are geniuses but i have at least read An Good Piece Of Journalism

programmers are geniuses? i haven’t encountered a single piece of software programming that i would consider genius in the past ten years

you cannot do agile if your product is an app being downloaded and used by people you have never met. sorry! pick a different paradigm

lately you’ve been grim and determined to win; that’s how they want us to get

you might think diancie is a cute and innocent pokémon, but i’ll have you know that it crushes the carbon in the air into diamonds with its bare fists

sorry losers who only shower in the morning but only fuck at night; mix it up a little

when do you fuck more often?

playing New Leaf i don’t actually think the villagers are any better than in NH. i certainly haven’t fallen for any of them the way i did for Pashmina in New Horizons. but you depend on them a lot more: for furniture, to buy your things in Re-Tail, to suggest Public Works Projects, and to provide most of the gameplay via Requests. it feels a lot more interdependent and more like a community

in New Horizons your daily tasks are given by notifications on your phone. you can make and customize furniture on your own. you don’t have to talk to anyone and they’re not as central a part of the gameplay loop

the thing with New Horizons is they were like “we will give the player superpowers so they can design their island exactly how they want, and use seasonal events to entice people to keep playing” and this simply isn’t as good of a game design as an actual player/town growth arc

ice series furniture isn’t GOOD but it selling for 8888 bells definitely is good

Snowmam melting tomorrow and there goes our entire town economy unless i can build another
