Fire Emblem personal headcanon: Alear is just short for Alexander O’Leary. #fireemblem #alear

Whoever decided that Java's Calendar before and after methods should take an Object instead of another Calendar was a crackhead.

Having a true believer in vibe coding as a boss sucks. The vibe code almost works and is a nightmare to make fully work, let alone maintain, and it’s slopped out so quickly that I’m chewed out for not keeping up. I hate writing code, but vibe coding is a scam and a greater evil.

While I appreciate the sentiment behind “clanker”, it personifies the LLM. I prefer “slopper”, to describe its users who forsake their humanity, see you as unworthy of effort, and take pride in careless slop.

ACAB is good but we need to go one further. ADAB - all deities are bastards, regardless of what gender said deity is. Godlike power always corrupts.

Meritocracy is just a euphemism for cronyism if an ordinary person is gatekept from the knowledge and resources needed to develop skills.

AI today is where VR was thirty years ago, nowhere near ready for prime time, except worse because AI is already being used to ruin lives.

Authoritarian measures to “protect the children”, by extension, serve to infantilize the masses.

The problem with there being no money in music is that musicians will have to use inferior gear. You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Not that I would ever want chicken salad, but you get my point.

The human body is engineered almost as shoddily as the Cybertruck.

I’m so Goth, I will never accept the belief that Christ and God are one.

“Tech bro” sounds aspirational. Making evil aspirational is the worst we can do. We should call them “eggheads”. The egghead way is a STEM background and cold rationalism without empathy (sometimes with a dash of superiority complex). Nobody wants (or should want) to be an egghead.

Normalize neck pickups on bass. (“Neck” meaning right at the 24th fret like Rickenbacker, if not even further from the bridge.)

There should be a parody of Wolfsheim’s “The Sparrows and the Nightingales” called “The Sbarro and the Bloomingdale’s”. It would be about malls and how they’re nowhere near as cool as they used to be #darksynthpop #malls

I’m waiting until Dave and Buster’s gets the Switch 2 in so I can use my tickets (got almost 150k saved and the current Switch is like 120k), but a new Fire Emblem or F-Zero being announced as a launch title tomorrow would make the wait that much harder.

First Fire Emblem lost me with Engage’s incoherent character design where a good chunk of the cast look like they got lost on the way to the next Pokémon game. Now Civilization lost me with the way civilizations evolve like Digimon in VII.

Jack White does not belong anywhere near cheddar. Stop ruining my Cheez-its.

OpenAI is Open Ass. Altman should have the trajectory of Bankman-Fried.

If Nintendo is reverting DK to his pre-Rare design, they might as well revert Yoshi to his original proportions from Super Mario World. Then again, he had that SMW body type in Super Smash Bros Melee and it was a bit unsettling to see in 3D. #nintendo

Ooh, this thought was too good to keep in a temporary story. Stop trying to make Threads happen, Zuck.

Deleted my Muskbird account a long time ago. Happy to be here now.
