It's usually Nebenstimme. It's rare I need Hauptstimme, but I would also kill to write that sometimes.

Every now and then I'm writing something and I'm hit with a sudden extreme sadness that the Second Viennese School never won out, because there are times I'd KILL to put down a Nebenstimme line.

I see my petitions for "the worst two years of my life to end" have been returned with... Oh, "monkey's paw curls, now it's three years"? Figures.

It's been one year since I was laid off from Bungie, and I'm still looking for full time work.
If you've got any leads on game design or games qa positions, please reach out. I'm a skilled designer, and nothing I led QA for ever had any bugs ship.

need any more artists

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

It was pretty good. Almost missed a 45 min doctor's appointment because of it. Overall cute, but GOD, I know that it's actually a phrase people use—I've used it!—but the "It's not just X, [it's|but] Y" snowclone just REEKS of artificiality these days.

The emotional rollercoaster of "oh that's an interesting premise" > "200k!!" > "wait, 200k isn't really that long, that's fine" > "oh god I'm saying 200,000 words of fanfic is entirely reasonable to just read right now" > "oh well no time like the present"

I remember talking to an AI guy on a game about an enemy that was acting weird and he showed me the state tree and how smart it was at re-evaluating criteria and using fuzzy logic and meanwhile the enemy was bouncing off of every surface in the room and spinning in place and I had to be like, "man,"

Now that we know happiness is a warm gun and sympathy is a knife, it's pretty clear that we need to reinvest in basic research to identify which other feelings are also weapons

These are actions that will affect Bluesky’s future. You gained a following because this place offered a safe haven for many oppressed minorities after Twitter went to hell. You need to be more honest with your users, and yourself. You know what you are doing, and you know it’s not right. /6

Birds and bugs have wings and lay eggs. But angels have wings and dont lay eggs. And snakes lay eggs but dont have wings. So its not wings that make you do that. Its some other thing.
