software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

if you see me mention #GAGSProject that's this: https://cryptid.cafe/notice/AxJRZIJ0k4hAXnDCsq

kink, genies
Show content

I didn’t know that genies could be a kink until I started seeing it on Fedi but you know what? the power dynamic with a genie granting wishes is actually pretty hot

the genie is so much more powerful than the mortal and has all kinds of magic that they can use, which is already 🥵

but then, the mortal has to wish for things, which gives them some agency and control over what happens. so there can be this dynamic of starting off with cautious wishes, then getting increasingly lewd as their trust in the genie grows. and the genie getting more mischievous as they learn what their mistress/master likes but is too embarrassed to ask for

or maybe the genie knew all along, but is just easing their mistress/master into things, while also being playful and teasing in less and less subtle ways. enjoying the slow burn before they really start to ramp things up

idk that just sounds hot to me

@konstruct yeah tbh there’s something calming about holding a hot thing in my hands but in order to drink it I have to wait for it to cool down to the point that it’s just tepid, which makes it grosser for me I think

@codingcoyote chamomile is one of the ones that I’ve tried but I’ve been thinking that there might be others out there that I’ll like more. like I have a ginger and turmeric one that I haven’t decided if I like or not. it’s very strange-tasting but I think I kinda like it? I think I also want to try anise or fennel because I like their flavor in other things

@tempest hm that’s fair! it definitely makes sense that the corporate UI churn is because of marketability instead of aesthetics

I do think that, at least for me, I get used to any UI that I use for too long - no matter how much I like it at first. for example I used to love Akkoma’s UI so much that I gushed about it for several days in a row lol. but now since I’ve been using it every day for a few months, it just seems normal to me and I don’t really get any joy out of it visually

but with that said, I do still like other UIs that are designed in a similar way to how Akkoma looks (boxy Windows 98/95 looking UIs) - it’s really just Akkoma itself that I’m used to now

now that it’s seen how much Creeper World 4 and Creeper World IXE I play, Steam is convinced that I’m going to love RTSes, grand strategy games, and generic-looking tower defense games lol

Valve is already raking in so much money but they could make even more if they built a half-decent recommendation system

herbal tea is fucking gross

unsweetened, it’s marginally better than just drinking hot water but it just kinda tastes like plant juice

and it’s somehow so much worse when you sweeten it. I can’t explain why but something about adding sugar flips it in my head from “someone put random weird plants in my hot water” to “this is definitely some kind of poison”

a pretty UI is only pretty until people get used to it. then you have to redesign it so it seems pretty again

an ugly, utilitarian, bare-practicality UI is only ugly until people get used to it, and then it’s utilitarian and practical forever

what the fuck did they do to the youtube UI

why do corpos always do this constant UI churn instead of fixing or improving anything

I feel like I could throw a dart at a map and hit a better place to live

I mean, I would probably hit somewhere in the atlantic ocean. but I would rather drown in the atlantic ocean than live here

re: Helldivers 2, fascism
Show content

Eclipse Phase ran into this problem too. one of their factions is kinda a Nazi faction and another smaller faction is definitely a Nazi faction

in the first edition, they tried to leave it ambiguous which factions were “evil” and which were “good” because they thought it would be self-evident that the fascist factions were terrible, but they also wanted to leave room for nuance

but enough chuds started getting into the game that for the second edition they had to get pretty heavy-handed and almost parody the viewpoints of a lot of their nastier factions. which resulted in some darkly hilarious writing that I love, so I’m not complaining

Helldivers 2, fascism
Show content

it is so gross how much fascists seem to like Helldivers 2. every time YouTube recommends me a video about the game it’s always full of dog whistles and sometimes actual slurs

I get that the game is trying to parody fascism but fascists love to miss the point of parodies of their ideology, and then unironically love and embrace the parody

could Helldivers 2 have avoided this by getting even more heavy-handed with their satire? I’m honestly not sure. but I wish they had just done something else
