I love game sequels. There's the obvious love of going with the characters further into their journey, or seeing the world from a different perspective, but what really gets me is the technical side. I love when the dev team gets to evolve and deepen the game mechanics, the new animations, side quests, quality of life changes. I love you game sequels.

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.

This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.

reading john’s narration in ntn is INSANE bc he’s talking about how he incited a nuclear war and began consuming the souls of planets just to say some shit like “you and i went full fucking hungry caterpillar” excuse me WHAT

If there is one thing I relate to John Gaius on it's this. I already make jokes, memes and references for the audience of one (me) out loud, to people who I fully know won't get the joke. I'd be so much worse if I had the entire meme library in my head, 10 000 years AND crowned myself the God Emperor Undying. Any time I'd interact with my devoted subjects it would turn into a competition with myself of how many references and memes I can stuff into an interaction. My Lyctors wouldn't be plotting my murder for the crimes against the universe, but because if Augustine has to hear me say "it's wednesday my dudes" one more time he is going to feed himself to a Ressurection Beast.

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try
