I came across this via Bulbapedia the other day and want to expound a bit on it: We All Live in a Pokemon World is a Pokemon fansite made by a former schoolteacher as a sort of apologia against parental dismissals of Pokemon, and as an argument for the benefits of the Pokemon message.

In sum it ...

Immich? For like, your personal video collection? Do you mean Infuse? Or do you have an intriguing workflow...

Way back at the inception of this board we talked a bit, in a very freeform way, about workflows and tools . It came up again talking about computers , just figuring out new ways to organise piles of stuff across computers.

Another example: I moved from streaming services to just having all my ...

I also listen to Japanese artists like 黒百合姉妹 and 夢中夢 and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, also some Kenshi Yonezu songs. And I'm a fan of the Slovak-language album "n5" by Katarzia. But these are more just me straight up randomly running into something and liking it despite not fully understanding it ...

So I had gotten into remission with my computer shenanigans. Then lately after a friend came over , it got reignited.

So, in sum:


satsuki : Razer Blade 14. Windows 11 Pro. Last time I used this was to beat Atelier Sophie 2 and I just felt like having to do it on PC made me less inclined to play ...

Well, @8sumint and I did something strange today, but it's strangely comfy.

That's right -- a ThinkCentre with an i3 and an Intel HD 630, needing very little to run smoothly with Firefox, IRC and all. YouTube renders fine, idk, I can't think of how to push it aggressively now.

Edited the above post as we've moved servers.

My girlfriend and I are going through Fate/Apocrypha again. I stand by that it's "pretty good"; I mean, it has pew pew flashy stuff, and I'm here for the mechanics of magic stuff, but it's not afraid to get weird really quickly with the established Fate rules. And she and I had seen The El Melloi ...

Fascinating that you sequence your projects and tasks. How do you determine which order to put them in? What takes priority?


Well, in the case of physics, it's something I wish I learned instead of going all in on the humanities from a young age; but it has little direct relevance to my life ...

It's been just over two months since you posted this thread, how is your progress so far on this self teaching? Anything you've discovered and wish to share? Is it going how you hoped it would?


Actually, a related problem appeared — my own capacity to take up new projects from whole cloth and ...

My friend pointed out that I shouldn't get too introspective and instead just have a good time. So I think I'll write a bit on what I've enjoyed so far, now that we've migrated over to Hiroshima.

Bars

We went to two different ones in Nagasaki: one was a jass kissa and the other was a general ...

I was walking around yesterday and just recalled that I wanted to learn physics. Like, beyond watching YouTube videos and feeling philosophical awe, I wanted to get an undergraduate understanding of physics.

I figured that doing structured learning for myself worked pretty good -- I really like ...

This is currently in a state of flux for me. I'm considering publishing a notebook so that I can write shorter posts in a less "here's my full professional name" place, and remove some of my poems from that section and put it in the notebook instead. But so many other things are in flux that it ...

An old boss from a previous job the other week was saying that doing startups was 'playing the lottery,' it was essentially gambling, and gambling is an act of desperation. It is what you do when no other option makes sense (and it is what you do when you have an addiction...); it is itself an ...

The train was taking us back in time.

I think that's how I can describe Kyushu, the further I go into it: it's getting older and older, a bit more rusty, lived in and hetereogenous. The houses are thinner, less densely ...
