701I 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. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
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

It is actually kind of funny what a fucking pain chess pieces are from an artistic standpoint, they are five different kinds of complex cylinders and a fucking horse, you're just trying to torture artists at this point.

kasdeyaI feel like I’m going to be in for such a culture shock once I start talking to IRL People™
“oh you don’t know what a doll is? it’s kind of like… well it’s a non-person, but it’s still a sophont. what do you mean you don’t know what a sophont is?! but you at least know what a bot is, right? do you understand it/its pronouns? wait hang on what do you believe about identity? you know that it’s inextricable from gender right? like for example if someone is plural- you don’t know what plurality is??”

dpiponi@mathstodon.xyzAs my wife ate her porridge this morning she asked "what exactly are oats?" and it turned out to be an interesting question because of Vavilonian mimicry.

Trump saying that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" reminds me of the Greek king who attacked Persia after being told by the oracle at Delphi that he would destroy a mighty empire by doing so – only to find it was *his* empire that was destroyed

Owlor@meow.socialOne furry phenomenon that I love is when a cartoon has exactly one cute anthropomorphic girl in it and she enters into the rotation of furry babes entirely disconnected from her original story. She probably have fans who couldn't tell you off the top of their head what any other character in her show is called.
It must be pretty funny from the other side of the coin too, you can tell if someone is a furry by which specific character they are intimately familiar with over any other.
You can probably tell with a fair degree of accuracy if someone is a furry based on which Animal Crossing villagers they can name off the top of their head. This one is particularly fun, they are all furry animals so you'd think the more they can name, the more of a furry they are, but if they can name exactly three villagers and they are Isabelle, Raymond and Ankha, then you Know...

I should’ve used Outer Wilds as an example instead of Resident Evil 2 Remake, since RE2Re still has a fair bit of passive storytelling. oh well
overall what I think this boils down to is:
- I should have control of my character taken away as little as possible. ideally never
- story and lore should be things that I choose to seek out - not things that are forced on me unexpectedly
- bonus points if I feel rewarded for engaging with the story/lore, or if there are puzzles that are solved by engaging with the story/lore
- if you make me watch a cutscene that’s longer than 3 minutes I will fill your computer with beans

I love games that are littered with Shandified hints about the lore, the world, and the story. so that if/when my curiosity is piqued, I can go looking for them and learn more at my own pace, and in whatever order I want. this is especially satisfying if those hints also give me some kind of reward for paying attention (like notes that tell me the combination to a safe, for example). Resident Evil 2 Remake has a lot of great examples of this
overall I really like when a game’s lore and story is something that I’m actively participating in and engaging with. games are an interactive medium and I think video game storytelling is at its best when it’s as interactive and responsive to the player as possible
survival games are arguably an even better example of what I’m talking about because scarcity and exploration lead to personalized stories that come directly from the mechanics themselves - like the player’s desperate search for warmth that goes wrong when they nearly fall into a chasm, which they cautiously explore and make into a temporary shelter to wait out the night. that’s not a story that the player passively sat through - that’s a story that they lived through, which is so much more engaging and impactful
contrast that with the approach that a lot of games take, of forcing a predetermined story on the player, which is told through non-interactive cutscenes and dialog boxes and maybe the occasional dialog choice. this approach often forcibly takes away control of the game to make the player passively absorb some new information instead of letting them continue interacting with the ostensibly interactive experience. it doesn’t feel like I’m an active participant in the story, but instead like I’m being sat down so that someone can tell me about a story that is happening around me
and I think that that storytelling style is totally fine in other media, like movies or books. but when I play a game it’s because I want to do things. I don’t want to be a passive observer - I want to live through the events of the game. and I just can’t get that feeling from a game that’s a series of levels punctuated with cutscenes and canned voicelines

This bit of text is a triumph of weird Unicode whitespace stuff. (It reminds me of when I went down a rabbit hole discovering the crazy complexity related to ☑︎ and ☑️: same codepoint, but they look different! It's "emoji presentation" and "text presentation": https://mathstodon.xyz/deck/@ddrake/115854167023949526 )

Owlor@meow.socialPeople will routinely just lie to you if they don't want you to do something, especially if you're a kid.
Like, I was trying to figure out a while back if it's okay to put stickers on a guitar or if it dampens the sound somehow and it was surprisingly hard to get a straight answer cus a lot of people don't like stickers on guitars for some reason (I think because they associate it with like, cringy punk rock or political music) and will just make up a reason why it's bad. If you can have a pick guard on a guitar and it's fine, a sticker isn't gonna be much of an issue.
Same thing with writing on your arm with a ballpoint pen, a lot of people where told as kids that you could get poisoned from the ink and I'm pretty sure that's not true. If you don't get poisoned from tattoos or from resting your hand against an inked page, you probably don't get poisoned making notes on your arm.
It's the casual lying that really get to me, like is it really worth destroying your entire credibility cus you think someone writing down a phone number on their arm is weird?

wdormann@infosec.exchangeThere's a new Windows 0day LPE that has been disclosed called BlueHammer. The reporter suggests that it's being disclosed due to how MSRC operates these days.
MSRC used to be quite excellent to work with.
But to save money Microsoft fired the skilled people, leaving flowchart followers.
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft closed the case after the reporter refused to submit a video of the exploit, since that's apparently an MSRC requirement now. 😂
Anyway, yeah, it works. Maybe not 100% reliably, but well enough...
