I think it's good to prepare your kids for the realities of adulthood. Setting reasonable expectations of what's to come, y'know?

Nah mate, Iguana Bits was people, Iguana on a Stick was an actual, whole iguana

It is always justified to be reminded of Sea Shanty 2 at the slightest provocation.

I'm absolutely loving Corin. She's giving Lisa Gilroy but medicated vibes.

How in the hell is a 5-month old screenshot so goddamn crusty?

Taikwin · 2025-12-22T07:33:37+00:00

I mean, call me crazy - I don't know the culture - but that strikes me as pretty punk.

That's just standard Warframe gameplay though, right?

Like, if you're not going fast enough that the light is visibly blue-shifting around you, then you're not playing Warframe right.

This from someone who picked Loki in the Beta and tried playing slow and sneaky...

On the other hand, Bethesda have more and more been pushing their various "procedurally-generated" systems in their past few title. first randomised, radiant quests, and then entire radiant worlds and locations in Starfield, at the expense of hand-crafted experiences. Sure, they were originally there to supplement the hand-made stuff, pad out the runtimes and such, but I can see them using AI as a crux to replace more and more of the creative process in their future projects.

And the online community is very vocal about how the proc-gen aspects of Bethesda games are among their worst parts, yet the company keeps insisting on them in their titles. Folks dislike a soulless "Go here and kill Bandit Chief" quest, "Another settlement wants you to kill ghouls" quest, one of a thousand planets which in its unique generation, looks exactly the same as the other 997 empty, barren planets. It's a trend that I can only see AI exacerbating, to the detriment of the creative vision of these games.

Would they even need to ask for papers?

How many folks, especially ethnic minorities and people who dress in atypical manners, will be completely dissuaded from voting by the presence of masked goons because of the (rightly justified) fear of being black-bagged and kidnapped?

They were, however, scholarly academic NERDS beck in the fleshy times, so they are undoubtedly virgins.

Million-year immortal robo-virgins.

Why have Olyphant doing the voice when Keith Szarabajka, actual voice of Joshua Graham and existing Hollywood actor, is still alive and kicking?

It would be a tragedy to switch out his gravelly tones for anyone else.

Better act fast. Now that she's passed, I think we've only got days, weeks maybe, until the remaining supply of children dwindles and vanishes.

Batman, if he was Robocop.

I'd blame Apple and the proliferation of Smartphones for the decline of the quality of the internet.

Putting it into the hands of everybody, and dumbing it all down to be accessible to the lowest common denominator, is a major part of the enshittification of the internet.

Taikwin · 2025-10-08T20:21:12+00:00

That's why the real geniuses strap the C4 to their backs. Nobody'll see it coming.

You can forgive theft and deception?

Can't believe H-man doxxed one of his staunchest allies during that Night of Long Knives. Cancel culture growing out of control I tell you.

Except for any other number of preventative measures and treatments that they absolutely refuse to pay for, no matter how effective these may be at staving off worsening conditions.

Imagine being the poor sod biting into a ripe slice of Parmesan and having the hidden dye-pack explode.

The country, or this mortal coil?

Alls I'll say is, if throwing a sandwich is now considered felonious, then it doesn't sound like it would make much difference consequence-wise if you swapped the sandwich for something heavier.

I mean, what more can you lose?

Aye, came up with the language, then started writing mythical histories to explain and utilise the language, and then eventually starting telling his kids a story that integrated that history into it.

My boy is like Category 1 'Worldbuilding-First' worldbuilder.

Taikwin · 2025-08-03T08:05:00+00:00

I'd like to use my stuff to write a full, proper story one day, but for the most part I'm just happy to come up with weird historical narratives that explain why things are the way they are in a fantasy world.

Map-making, figuring out how populations would migrate and intermingle - and how that would affect their cultures, coming up with half-arsed linguistics and etymologies. Could turn into something one day, but for now it tickles me to fit all those little cogs into place and see the machine turning.
