679I 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

The only thing that is truly essential for an opera is at least one character wearing a supremely silly hat.

As much as Trump sucks, this is not about one man, and any analysis that rests on that premise is flawed. Our system was designed to prevent any one man from being able to do what Trump is. The problem is that Republicans have consolidated power in many States and courts over several decades, and now they are moving on to doing the same thing at the national level.
There are many issues and things in play, but it is important to realize this is the culmination of decades of work by multiple allied organizations and people with power, not the actions of a rogue President.

kasdeyaIs Pokémon Intentionally Designed to Waste Your Time? | Design Delve
I have so much respect for JM8 for pointing out all of the deliberately slow, time-waste-y aspects of Pokemon. and a moderate amount of respect for this new Pokemon game for trying to address them and apparently doing a decent enough job

reminder that streaming services are gradually enshittifying and do not deserve your money. if you don’t learn how to pirate now, sooner or later you will be forced to as the enshittification continues

Undead Zeratul
Undead_Zeratul@ocw.socialNow that we have prepared for The New War, we take a break from Warframe to give a new-to-me-at-the-time mod, Hideous Destructor. Who knew that this would become one of my favorite ways to play Doom, possibly any FPS game of recent memory?
Not only have I been swallowed up by its depth of complexity, enthralled by its ability to immerse me in its world, and enrapture me in the way it overhauls the vanilla game's systems, it opened me to a community of players and other modders who I would soon find myself among, clowning on the tyrant and it's masses.

kasdeyathis might be a hot take but the Unix philosophy leads to software that is unusable for non-technical people because instead of running one program which comes with a sane default configuration you have to install and configure an entire fragmented ecosystem of programs and then maintain that ecosystem over time

kasdeyalist of RPGs that kas thinks are good:
- World of Warcraft (by playing it Objectively Wrong™)
- OSRS (despite Jagex’s best efforts)
- Skyrim / New Vegas / Fallout 3 (after heavily modding them)
- Dark Souls 1 (I have an intense love-hate relationship)
- Disco Elysium (I admire it from a distance)
- VtM: Bloodlines (without any caveats for some reason??)

if a game has a progression system, it needs to do one of two things:
if it doesn’t start off very fun but you unlock the fun, then it needs to give me some idea of what the fun is going to be like once I unlock it. it needs to make me want to keep playing to get to the fun part
or, it can just start off fun and let me unlock different types of fun
a problem that I very frequently run into with roguelites is that they start out giving me only the blandest most insipid upgrades like “move 10% faster” or “attacks set enemies on fire” and I’m left wondering if I just need to unlock the interesting synergies or if the game just has no interesting synergies to unlock
this is especially a problem with roguelite deckbuilder games because those games entirely revolve around finding interesting synergies. but when I start playing them at the beginning I very often feel like there are no interesting synergies to be found
Slay the Spire comes to mind. I think it wanted to ease me into the complexity by having me gradually unlock more interesting cards through its roguelite progression but instead it left me wondering why anyone liked the game at all
same problem with Hades 1, to be honest

I just realized that the big climactic fight scene at the end of an action movie is meant to be cathartic - it’s meant to be releasing all the anxiety and pain and hatred and other emotions that the movie has been building up in the audience
it extremely doesn’t for me - it just increases those emotions even more and when the bad guy is defeated it’s like all of the intensity suddenly drops out with no real closure
because the thing is that those climactic fight scenes always emphasize how much of a struggle it is for the protagonist and how much they’re in danger and getting hurt. and I can’t feel catharsis while also worrying about their safety. like I love the first John Wick movie but I have to stop watching at the end because it’s just too much for me. it’s like it just twists the knife for no reason and then unceremoniously ends

kasdeyaI think that the reason magic in fantasy is so language-focused (spell scrolls, spellbooks, magical symbols, ofuda, etc.) is because a lot of our cultural concepts of magic come from a time when literacy rates were very low, and the concept of “someone can draw the state of their mind onto a piece of paper or a stone tablet, and others can interpret those magical symbols and gain that same state of mind” was incredibly foreign and possibly even frightening
and then of course those in power really liked that they were the only ones who could interpret the magic thought-symbols, and as the literacy rate went up they tried to maintain this type of control by learning dead languages like Latin and writing only in those. which is why, for example, the Catholic church relied/relies so heavily on Latin (because the common people can’t understand it - only those who are chosen by the Catholic hierarchy can)
also of course it was in the nobles’ best interests to maintain and expand the culture of “writing is magical and sacred”

kasdeyaPatreon just told me to “get the app for a better experience” on desktop
I’m sorry but there is absolutely nothing you can do to convince me that a shitty phone app on a shitty tiny touchscreen is better than my actual desktop computer with a mouse and keyboard

kasdeyaI got nerd sniped by Trickster so hard that I am actually considering adding a macro preprocessing system to my Trickster language DSL
so that instead of me hand-writing spells in my Trickster DSL and then hand-transcribing them into spellcircles, there would be a preprocessing layer that would then spit out a lower-level version of my DSL code for me to hand-transcribe

the best part about being a cryptid/yōkai is being able to play out fantasies specific to that identity. being bound by an ofuda and helpless to my captor or possessing another to toy with them and force them to feel/experience things which aren’t real

kasdeyaElement’s UI is so bad for replying to long-form messages that I literally just copy the message I’m replying to into Neovim instead and then paste it back into Element, because any time you scroll up or down in Element you might as well be going straight to Narnia
