Precept Four: Forget Your Past
The past is painful, and thinking about your past can only bring you misery. Think about something else instead, such as the future, or some food.
Alarm goes off, reminding me to take my waking up medication. I sleepily stumble into the kitchen and take my going to sleep medication. Followed by the correct one once I realized my mistake. This should be interesting.

I just dug through an old Google Drive for some documents and had a major nostalgia hit. Still really proud of this stupid image I made 11 gosh darn years ago. That was a good meme, this Joseph Ducreux guy? Iconic.

Sometimes I consider learning all the ROT ciphers by heart, just so I can bitch about getting spoiled on games I'll never play.
Going to use the ROT13 cypher to discuss Dawntrail spoilers.

I feel like the WoL is so powerful now, that they have no idea how to write any story at all and have any villain matter without just doing one of two things. Pretending the WoL doesn't exist, or going, oh actually there was this even more most powerful of all time bad guy standing just off screen.

You know that thing that is a homonym of how money gradually loses value? And how people draw images of fictional persons going through that process for the grown-up market?
How do I tell Bluesky that I find this disturbing and don't want to see it if nobody puts mutable tags on these pictures?

You know how Metal Gear and games by Larian or Toby Fox use goofiness to disarm you and then punch you in the gut all the harder?
Maybe that's what they're cooking with Metroid Prime 4.
This is what I tell myself because this my most anticipated game of all time and I have to believe.

I have a tiny YouTube channel that I use as a creative outlet more than anything. If people see it and enjoy it or find a game they might like, that's a bonus.
But now I have scientifically engineered the worst thumbnail ever, one that netted me 12 impressions in 30 hours.
The one before got 3000.

Guys, oh my god, Five More Minutes is the coolest roguelike deckbuilder! It's on Kickstarter and has an excellent demo! The thumbnail depicts something that actually happened.

That is definitely an all-time top 10 way of putting it.
having ADHD is like having the most powerful ult in the game but it has a 60% chance of going off when you don't need it, and the cooldown is a random value between 10 seconds and 1 year

You can absolutely play Jackbox with your parents, especially if they're the funniest fucking people in the world.

I unironically appreciate Canadian sports enjoyers for putting tags in their posts that I can mute.
There are too many posts that I start reading quizzically, having no idea what they are talking about until I figure it out and am hit with the
a picture of a cartoon character with the words wait written above him
Alt: The Pharaoh from YuGiOh! (Abridged, specifically) saying: Wait! I seem to have stopped caring.

Today, I learned the original name of Fräulein Knüppelkuh.
Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but Knüppelkuh mogs Trunchbull any day of the week.
I often think about this quote from one of my favorite books, Matilda: “He simply wouldn’t believe you. Your story would sound too ridiculous to be believed. And that is the Trunchbull’s great secret. Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog.

I have an extra GOG code for Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition. It's a great game, you should grab it if you're interested:

Can't say what it is, but I'm working on the localization of a completely serious Fantasy RPG right now, and there's a debuffing spell that causes a real-world life-threatening illness, and that is just incredibly funny to me.

I never actually knew who Oskar Schindler was. I knew he was a notable person in the 3rd Reich.
Naturally, I assumed the worst.
Turns out, he saved 1200 jews by manipulating nazis.
German history classes rightfully center on the horrors, but people like Schindler should be taught about, too.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

ADHD brains + internet access is a powerful combination
"Oh, what was that song that that TV channel used in a sizzle real for that weeks program 20 years ago that I really liked? Something Something rock & roll queen?"
It's fun to have access to that stuff nowadays.

Forgot to share this here.
I unboxed the Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Collector's Edition by Limited Run. What a mouthful.
I'm actually kinda proud of some of the terrible jokes I came up with on the fly.

Since I'm not going/allowed back to the US until orange Hitler is dead anyway, I can say that if I met the guy, I'd spit on his shoes at the very least.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay to all!

I edited for an AI translated game with cute anthropomorphic animals.
The sentence "The kids loved playing with his tail." was translated word for word into German. "Schwanz" (tail) also means penis.
Get a human translator before disaster strikes.
Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! 🪶

To every translator fighting for credits, legitimacy or against AI right now: remember 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁.

Caring for the words of others while making sure everyone can enjoy & understand them fully is art, and it's beautiful.
Your craft is beautiful 🤍
