Uh. It's 4AM, and it's been a year since I watered the algorithm.

• 'Nox' is fine.
• He/They.
• I don't have the interesting autism. I hyperfixate on things.
◦ My mistakes, mostly.
• I'm told I have the depression that makes me funny, though??
• Breaking video games is one of my hyperfixations.

It's impressive that Dirk is apparently as tall as a gas streetlamp. Those things were like 20 feet tall.

⬆️All rebuttals that I've heard before.

The books were never good and the author was never talented. You only liked them because you were too young to know better, to see the issues.
And that's fine. Ignorance isn't a sin. Clinging to ignorance, is.

Other books exist. Ones not written by bigots.

"Aren't there good bits too?"
The race that explicitly loves being enslaved and abused? Or the race of literal Sneaky Jews in a fantasy coat because they control money and have long noses and hunches. Or how the only Irish character keeps exploding things because 🇮🇪 = terrorists? Oh yeah, good stuff.

"Are you really going to make me choose between a beloved franchise and a group?"
It's not me making that choice for you, asshole. It's you. Rowling herself said "ALL fans support me".

"Isn't this being dramatic?"
Just say you find books more valuable than innocent humans.

"I enjoyed it from a young age"
It's cool, we were all stupid once. Admitting your ignorance is the first step to wisdom.

"I'm just going to pirate the media"
Oh, so you only want to PRETEND to support folx?

"What's one customer going to do?"
Yell loud enough to make two customers, ten, a hundred.

choice because pleasant memories of a childhood of not understanding quiet-but-insidious ethnic jabs is not worth telling a whole group of people - some of whom I'm directly related to - that they're against God's plan or some shit.

It's easy. Just don't tolerate the words of awful people.

Harry Potter was my childhood. I read (past tense) the books. The spines are so bent that you could drop the book and have it open on a given chapter-start.
Watched the movies. Still have the PS1 #1 and PC #2 games. Even got some merch somewhere.

The series is dead to me. And it's easy to make that

(Also, it was the game that named the stellar parent 'Yortleham'. And I'm mad that I didn't think of it first. Because that name is *just* stupid enough to make me giggle.)

About 14 seconds into the video (and after the bitrate stops crying), you can see the ETA timers (in the middle of the screen) start producing nonsense. Here they are - before and after, grabbed from the Steam raw recording.

lmao, No Man's Sky just NaN'd out and corrupted my save file.
I'd be insensately pissed if I didn't still have an AppData backup from a couple days ago (FROM THE LAST NMS FAILURE NO LESS).

Also, it looked like ONLY my Corvette corrupted. Everything else was fine?

Damn. Got a scotoma right in the middle of my field-of-view.
Please move. I have a cursor to be looking at, goddammit.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 3d

As far as I can discern, this did not make it into the stream interstitials.
Which is fine. There were 400,000 of the dang things.

I hope my memory reaches *someone. Anyone.*

Aaron: "This incident is happening somewhere else and doesn't involve us."

Fbbrrrt.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 3d

I like both. Unhinged Jokes are a comedy too. Running afoul of "oh, so you're just a knob" is an heightened risk. If it takes more effort to get the joke than it did to write it, you better had been careful.

Also, I expect anyone aware of Bsky's current arc is gonna a little more cynical than usual

Thank you, Papa Lovure Curator (or Mama, or in-between, whichever it's all cool). For the like and for lending levity to the emerging, uh, tumult, that the site is representing.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 3d

In the ongoing commitment to there being no fun allowed on this platform, @bluesette13.bsky.social blocked me for a "you mean a bar sportsed this?" joke. I think a point might have been missed in the satire somewhere.

This account brings out some *characters,* I tell ya.

You can't sports with a bar.
Name one sport. You can't, you won't. Doesn't exist.

This is the first time I've ever been blocked for a "How could a shrimp fry this rice?"-tier joke.

Not sure how to feel about that tbh.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 3d

Reptar on the left just absolutely throwing it back. This battle is caked up and it has nowhere to go.

The fabric of society will take years to recover.

I will never forgive Windows for that.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 4d

*One time, I took Windows at its word when it claimed "your personal files and folders won't be affected". I lost many things. Like a document of things to tell my father before he died (he was still alive at the time), and affirmations from my friends to read whenever I want to stop living.

Despite hearing that even a full upgrade-in-place/reinstall doesn't fix this problem, I am throwing my hands up and trying. WinRAR is backing up my user folder*, and I have the massgrave.dev script ready. I have taken my melatonin. This is officially a Tomorrow-Me problem.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 4d

Each time, Windows 11 finds a new and fascinating way to completely shit down its own leg. Catastrophically persona-non-grata'ing one single app is a new one.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 4d

Every other app works, including other Web browsers. But Firefox is an important one for me. And rather than run or install, the program silently runs-crashes-runs-crashes and spams the Event Log.

Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ @noxedwin.bsky.social · 4d

Windows violently hanged while I was playing No Man's Sky. Now Firefox won't run or reinstall, despite running an update-repair on Windows. Ntdll.dll 0xc0000005.
Sean got my ass again. Can't believe this. More like No Man's PC.
