okay I know there was a lot going on in the world today but I didn't see anyone mention that the new donkey kong switch game trailer has anime-style opening and closing songs?

JESTer. like one who jests. wow okay that’s great.

why is it that my new outfit has me looking like I'm in Fantasy ICE 😬

suddenly realizing that the reason pro-AI people love constructing strawman versions of anti-AI arguments is because they’re already spending their day interacting with something shaped like a human

type of guy who thinks the last word in the common phrase “too much time on [one’s] hands” is actually “hams”

realized while listening to Tamara Lindeman wax philosophical tonight that I do consider my worksona to be an accumulation of all my experiences and strengths while I think of my regular life as a sort of accident of existence at any given moment in time. anyway I don't think I will pursue that line of thought any further just in case it makes me sad

things that make it an ARPG:

• isometric
• ties to christianity (gargoyles, white/black as good/evil, the mon-fri work week)
• lose progress when you die

things that make it earthbound:

• protagonist wears baseball cap
• the stakes of your success are never quite clear
• features a SICK STUNT COURSE at the end (confirm this)

maybe you think I’ve lost it, suggesting that we advertise our new bullet hell roguelite via the California DMV, but consider that a) there are 34 million licensed drivers who are committed to interacting with the organization and b) the governor of California is a HUGE loser who loves money

one thing I'm discovering and grateful for about Octobug when using it across multiple blogs is that when something breaks with it, as long as there's a site that builds and updates when I write words into it, I'm just like "that's okay". I know that the YouTube embed code breaks the frame. I know that I haven't backported the whole thing where headlines can safely have markdown in them. I still haven't integrated WebMentions or whatever. that's okay
