anything & everything goes @josefkindasucks - Tumblr Blog

hey you, did you somehow find me purely from Tumblr and not from some other external platform?

sadly, I don't post much on here mostly because of my awesome arbitrary content standards of what I deem worthy to show on here

fortunately, if you are also a twitter user, you can follow me on josefkindasucks

AND I ALSO EXIST ON FEDI!!! @[email protected]

the standard of content is way lower and you probably wouldn't like me rambling about plants vs zombies, but hey, more josef content?

#although i could probably post my ramblings on here...#not a bad idea

i cracked and finally fucking logged back into tumblr

only to change the setting so it'll shut the fuck up about be "treating myself" in my emails

#how about i shove 5 blogs up your ass #tumblr #how does that feel

hiiii guys I totally didn't move to and left this blog abandoned

honestly I did this because I saw two people I recognized follow me and I kinda don't want to leave them hanging

if there is anything inevitable in my life, #1 will always be me making fun of people who think changing a file extension from something like .webp to .png will magically convert it to an entirely different file with different standards

does this matter in the grand scheme of things? no. is making fun of someone for the knowledge i only acquired from bored wikipedia reads funny? yeah

The “Nyan Cat” animation was created in April 2011 by prguitarman, but did you know the song was created by a separate person?

Japanese music artist daniwell made the song using a UTAU called Momone Momo, which was created in May 2008.

And to celebrate the UTAU’s 10-year anniversary, daniwell created a remix duetted with Hatsune Miku, and it absolutely slaps!

video of the day (aka whenever I can be assed) is: Who made the Homebrew Channel music?

yet another entry in my nonexistent "video essays about topics I'm somewhat interested in except the main point is so completely far removed, it's hard to tell if it was even what I thought it would initially be:" the playlist

Uh... Never owned a Wii, which should be obvious as to why given my age but as me being a huge nerd on hardware/software hacking for as long as I can remember (being since 2018), I couldn't not ignore this video. f4mi was always what I would say a "recommended channel lurker" who would always appear yet I never clicked on up until YouTube decided to recommend me someone else. Quite a nice video though, please do watch. :)

Will this be a new regular thing I'll do? Maybe. Depends if the day has a video that amazes me as much as that one did.

wut. I thought Wikia was good?

mortimermcmirestinks

wikia is not good.

wikia is a hypercapitalist monopoly that's crushing independent wikis and it's an adware-infested hellscape that sucks ass and has a horrible user interface.

wikia is a for-profit corporation that does not care at all about fandom, stole and trademarked the fucking word "fandom", and is actively monopolizing the fanwiki world while either buying out or outcompeting actual legitimate independent wikis.

they manipulate google results to drive searches toward their much shittier wikis rather than towards the actually helpful and worthwhile independent wikis.

if you google the word "fandom", the top result AND the wikipedia page they suggest are both wikia.

their user interface is horrifyingly terrible for a wiki and they allow almost no customization at all to the wikis who have to use their platform. you cannot run a wiki on wikia without forcing people to see a huge, obnoxiously bright yellow WIKIA!!! banner along one side, a huge header filling up the top of the page, a massive useless sidebar, and often a fucking video above the article, not to mention the literally endless wall of completely fucking unrelated ads that scroll up under every article, and instead of talk pages they have fucking comments sections.

this is an actual wiki:

and this is the equivalent page on a fucking wikia wiki:

neither of those screenshots are edited.

you cannot see the information on the wikia page upon opening it.

but you know what you can see?

fucking ads.

have you ever heard of NIWA? it's the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, a group of independent wikis that are each around a specific Nintendo fandom (Super Mario Wiki, Bulbapedia, etc). a couple years ago there was a huge controversy because ZeldaWiki, one of the founding members, shifted to Gamepedia, a wiki farm and possibly Wikia's biggest competitor. people were annoyed, and were occasionally making jokes like "what next? are we going to start including Wikia wikis?"

then gamepedia got bought and merged with wikia.

this is what zelda wiki used to look like:

and this is what zelda wiki looks like now:

terraria recently changed their official wiki to an independent one since Gamepedia got bought out by Wikia, which is good, but it's drowned out by the literal thousands of crappy, hard-to-navigate wikia-owned wikis. I've seen wikia wikis that have to append each article with a tag at the top saying "we're sorry about that huge video ad above the article, we can't do anything about it, wikia's in charge."

and wikia gets away with it because site hosting is expensive and difficult so many people, especially younger people, have no choice.

and nobody cares.

support independent wikis wherever you can.

end of the school year, think it's time to go back on here

#that is if anyone i knew before i left is still here #anyone?#please answer

Apple trying to go back to their early 2000s aesthetic with their AirPod ads while not understanding that it was the wires flying everywhere that made those images so cool

what-even-is-thiss

The wires are what makes it cool.

I have a long form draft of a review of PvZ2 I should probably finish it before I lose all memory of it

pent-up energy

a majority of my life I thought imagining shit in your head and talking to yourself in an inner monologue was just a really weird plot device for 80% of movies till I realized I just had aphantasia and a lack of an inner monologue
