Re: What are you playing?

This thread has been trending works of fiction as games, so I just wanted to add a quick two cents:
- Heaven is Mine is exceptionally esoteric and explorational and queer
- failgirl enemies-to-lovers mechpilot queerfic *clears throat and enunciates with clear diction* woof woof bark bark bark awooo ...

Cyberpunk

I’ve been replaying cyberpunk 2077, and I have some thoughts.

First, lemme get my character RP out of the way ^^

So I’ve been doing a Street Kid playthrough. Complete chuuni, loves swords and knives and max reflexes and no chill or competence. She had two paths: as soon as possible, raid Arasaka ...

Re: Host it yourself

I think you’ve hit on a key thing with storage durability. That was my primary concern — the access software comes and goes (and honestly, given a few years, is something I could make a decent pass at); the data is irreplacable.

The core of my setup is Mumei, a trusty former gaming rig running ...

Megalopolois

I just saw Megalopolis.

Coppola knows filmmakers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

It has the visual metaphor of a Ikuhara piece and the artistry of a middle school play. The most striking visuals you will ever see paired with the most wooden performances. It is a stage play; a melodrama ...

Re: Eternal Weekend

It was grey when I left. A city, once the centre of industry, after the industry has moved on. Collectively, a community and a memory of what was lost. It can be seen in the bridges and the name, the NFL team emblazoned on every other person’s clothes. We made steel here, once. We were great. But ...

Eternal Weekend

I arrived at the airport at 5pm. First thing I noticed was the under construction sign, claiming to be building the airport pittsburgh deserves. There was no subjective mention of inherent quality.

Everyone was lined up outside of a taxi queue. Only it wasn’t a taxi queue, it was an Uber loading ...

Re: The Stranger

Yeah, I think that’s closer, it’s the participation in the shared value system that is key to meaningful participation. It’s echoes of Omelas: the inherent virtue of the value system is irrelevant, simply its participation. And he just doesn’t! But I *wouldn’t either* — his value system is foreign ...

The Stranger

(Also posted on my personal blog )

The following are my notes from reading The Stranger by Camus. Some are universal; some are very personal. As with the work itself, these distinctions will be left to the reader.

He lives his life devoid of context. No past or future, no emotions, no involvement ...

Re: Japan travelogue thread

“An older man was just sitting at the beach with a camera the entire time. It was only when I went closer that I realised that the camera was taking shots by itself every few seconds. He was sitting while it ran through the roll, almost like a fisherman? He would go home and maybe do a timelapse ...

Re: Introduce yourself

Hi! I'm Jasmine.

I'm mostly a computer programmer, and I am *good* at what I do :) I've always got one or two side projects bubbling, but they're a bit under wraps right now :) Nearly most of my free time is on the computer, doing a project or playing a game or tweaking the homelab or dealing with ...
