Proto-maplehoof I found cleaning up. I forgot I got this far before scrapping this project. Main issue is the back haunch and scaling.

Ok but seriously something I've been talking about for years is how digital pets/companionship/"Friend for Life" and depending on a black-box service a company has to maintain are incompatible. Making it self-sufficient is the ONE thing you most have to get right!!! blog.giovanh.com/blog/2023/03...

It's why I spent the time talking about the history of Homestuck's predatory relationship with merchandise. It's why I spent time talking about the important of crediting and art theft. It's why I spelled out my conclusion that Homestuck is radioactive and this abuse should be expected from them.

By complete coincidence I just wrote about this and used Twitter’s sneaky changes to blocking as an example. Design and signaling matters a LOT. blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10...

The UHC asset pack includes binaries for the Adobe Flash PPAPI (Chromium) plugin, which the Electron app can load. It's a pre-killswitch version, 29.0 r0. The latest pre-killswitch version is actually 32.0.0.371, but Homestuck's flash pages run fine on the old version.

I've been watching the old NES-era Mario cartoons and they're wild media artifact; Nintendo really didn't know what it wanted to do with these characters or the brand. There's a song about the Frog Suit they've used multiple times. Peach goes to a Milli Vanilli concert on earth

This is such a hard question to answer. There's a lot of different factors. There's research, there's composition, there's logic, there's rhetoric.... I think if I had one tip it would to remember writing is communication. You're explaining your ideas; everything flows from that.

I have DMs open most places, including the socials on my card! You can send me a message on Bluesky or track me down on Discord if we share a server. I even try to check Twitter DMs but that's really falling apart.

Flock, how scary! We should make sure the police have the power to prevent transparency into their surveillance methods.
The FBI backdoored a chat app and uncovered evidence of something exciting and gross? It's sure good they did that!
Watermark removers? Those shouldn't be allowed to exist!

The person I’m using as an example here doesn’t say this. They call it an “encouraging” robot but then explicitly define encouraging as the user bringing up the subject.
