alternatively we as a society could realize that fiction is about playing with dolls and that horrible things happening to them doesn't matter because it's all toys.

but that seems more complicated than just bringing back big box PC games and publishing books alongside them

for some reason i find local LLMs kind of charming in a way the mass consumer stuff is not. you built a mini-cluster out of raspberry pis that takes 37 minutes to generate a 3 second clip of video that sucks? i don't see the point but that's classic computer dork shit, have fun pal

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

We should bring back the the linguistic pattern of using an alternate noun declension when naming a story after a person, like Odysseus->Odyssey or Aneas->Aneid

So like, oh, did you see the new Johnwickery? How about The Supermanid (2025)?

for the last few months I've been working on my own animation program. it pulls MIDI data from my DAW that i can hook into all sorts of parameters. it's nice when a program ONLY does the things I need it to. >: )

i'll be able make videos that'd otherwise have taken 1 or 2 weeks in a day or two.

i compiled gemuPG with emscripten and it... just works on the web for the most part? ok well... i have to change file io and SDL timers. also i still gotta figure out some undefined behaviour that seemed to work with msvc gcc and clang but not with webassembly. no clue how to debug webasm tho...

i made a small ambisonics sound sandbox a couple of weeks ago where you can shoot sound particles around.

i made this in godot, which sends OSC messages to supercollider, which sends third order ambisonics to reaper using rearoute. i decoded it binaurally for the video :)
