It still blows my mind that DE made Y2K a major plotpoint in a sci-fi fantasy game where you play as an interdimensional space ninja.

Now that my friend has finally seen the leyak in abiotic factor (and subsequently been mauled to death by her), I was finally able to share this perfect picture with them. It's such perfect timing it looks staged.
I think one of the things that really bugs me lately is that any time there's good news, there's almost nothing that actually seems to manifest from it.
Either it's framed misleadingly and/or just straight up not impactful enough to notice a difference and/or something way more terrible happens within hours. "Good news! The AI bubble is finally popping!" is something I've seen countless times over the last few months and it's lost meaning to me. But while that's happening we're seeing age verification forced into operating systems or another country gets bombed or I find out the government has now started researching conversion therapy on trans people in prisons etc etc etc.
Even legal victories that should bring cause for celebration because this administration seems to just ignore every sanction on it and every department seems to be stocked full of cronies willing to go against the courts at the trump administration's behest.
Sorry for being negative all the time lately but like, my brain is screaming at all of this and I would like to stop living in interesting times.
i think the biggest thing that confuses me about Hollow Knight's scale is that they're all bugs, sure, but are they actually small?
The biggest piece of evidence asides from them actually being small bugs is the fact that liquids behave as we would expect them to at our scale. The splashes and droplets and RAIN ESPECIALLY point to the fact that we're dealing with just absolutely enormous bugs that are as big as us irl.
Things that would be unexpectedly expensive on TF to a non human creature:
Headphones
Keyboard
Mouse
Chairs
Idk i just think that with claws and shit it would be really hard to use things meant for human hands. And with tails depending on how flexible they are, certain chairs that don't already have a hole in the back would be really uncomfortable.
Chronic Fatigue flare-ups be like: "Hi! I've decided to make you less of a person today."
I think we should adopt the language they use in Mass Effect for AI and call it VI/Virtual Intelligence instead. Anything we call AI irl isn't truly intelligent at this point.
For everyone planning to use sick days for silksong get on my level i logged a PTO request SO damn fast it got approved with 0 pushback after the release trailer reveal.
