    Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It’s just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

    On top of that it’s the first time I really “got” anime, so it’s sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

    Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you’re the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol




  • I don’t know how I went so long without breaking a screen. Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5s across 4 or 5 years, scuffed edges but never the screen.

    It was the galaxy S7 that finally went. I swear I dropped it a foot or less while sitting down in my car. From coat pocket into the console gap. Not out even out the door, and that had happened before without breaking. I was so mad that that was what did it.

    I didn’t even use a case religiously until the S7! I blame the obsession with all glass phones.





  • I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

    I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.





  • To be fair, it’s software specifically designed to run digital backups of what’s supposed to be personally owned media. It just so happens that it’s very easy to obtain a copy otherwise, but there’s nothing inherently illegal about it or the games.

    Strong arming independent projects, and individual developers especially, that are very careful to not endorse that, effectively holding them accountable for others, is morally questionable at best.



  • Real talk, I thought he had died, but maybe I just assumed or expected given hospice and the passing of his wife. For some reason I thought her name was Linda Carter, but Lynda Carter was wonder woman, if that says anything of my intelligence…

    In any case, I hear triple digits is a big one, and may he not rest in peanuts just yet.



  • My stupid brain always associates the name Thirteen Ghosts with Venom (2005) and I only realized why just now, when I looked up the latter:

    Summary: A group of teenagers fear for their lives in the swamps of Louisiana, chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by 13 evil souls, and now relentless in his pursuit of new victims.

    I only saw Venom once when I was way too young and it has its own neural pathway.

    Bonus: I found Venom by searching “horror movie truck snake demon” because that’s the imagery that automatically pops into my head alongside Thirteen Ghosts. It’s the first result.
