If the lion doesn't concern itself with memes, sooner or later memes will concern themselves with lion.

The piracy has already begun? Great news!

Hah. I must have had my sudden burst of aging at 37! Glad that's over... Heh... Ehh

Surreal comedy is hardly random, it's deliberately incongruous in ways that demonstrate a mastery of causal logic.

I have an 8th grade DC trip story myself, actually. We were at one of those colonial reenactment places where everything is brown and people dress like it's the 18th century. It was alright.

I got distracted and zoned out near the end, the bus left without me, and I was basically stranded in the 1700's for most of an hour. It sucked but it was hilarious.

At one hotel we wrote "fuck you" on a piece of paper and hid it under a desk lamp.

On that same trip I made every kid on the bus refuse to eat lunch because I opened my burger and pointed out it had a "weird texture".

That's enough detail that if you were in my class I've basically doxxed myself. But if you found that note under the lamp, I want you to know that I sincerely meant it.

Post the URL god damnit

If you're looking for the point when the wrongness began, look no further than baryon asymmetry. Every known model of physics fails to explain why matter and antimatter were created in unequal proportions, and that's why we're in this mess.

Sheesh. An arbitrarily infinite multiverse and I end up stuck in the one where stuff exists.

Knowledge-gated progression perhaps.

I kind of enjoy the abstruse, tortured jargon of "metroidbrainia", but I would never use it in a respectable conversation.

It's a terrible thing to become aware of one's own consistencies

For a while everything looked like Steven Universe/Adventure Time (CalArts). There was a couple of decades where Hanna Barbera single-handedly diminished the entire art form with the sheer volume of their minimally animated dogshit.

Smear frames, impact frames, the whole 9 yards

 

Woke up at four to get this going, and breakfast still wasn't served until half ten. Somehow I wasn't cured of my interest in brioche.

Recipe adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhrgf7X2ihs, but instead of his filing I just did apple pie mix. A few had Nutella.

 

You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it's super simple and slightly just...nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it's got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there's no flaws at all and they've just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It's that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you're either lost in a flow state, or you're dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can't believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It's really charming.

 

This week I'm doing three different individual pizzas every night for four nights. Because the world is burning, but my oven is pretty hot too.

The crumb. I never appreciated how important it is to buy the nice flour.

 

I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I've tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn't like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it's all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

 

Just outstanding stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss fight quite this interesting in how it plays out. Seems like this game is going to have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

 

This is a playable race in a game I've been developing. I like the premise, but the overall impression feels lacking to me. Mythians come from elves in this story, which are more like cenobites than fairies (taking cues from Pratchett's Lords and Ladies but hyperbolically so, until you're more into Gwar territory). They've renounced horrific madness and cosmic power. It's got a lot going for it, but I'm not happy with how "simple" and just-so it all feels. Any help?

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.

 

My algorithm in a nutshell. I might have delved too deeply.

 

Made this as a quick sketch for my kid, decided to do a quick touch-up in GIMP for printing it again later.
