You can be masculine and also be an egg. (Am I doing that term right?)

- Comment on Firefish is entering maintenance mode 1 week ago:
I do agree that developers should use their own software, but doing so on a smaller instance with strict active user limits is probably the right call – at least until you are certain the software has a “stable” version, but even then you probably will want to run a master branch instance that is much less stable and prone to errors. Until you can afford it, it’s probably not a good idea for developers to be spending a huge amount of time debugging in-progress features (which IIRC, firefish had a lot of those.)
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 1 week ago:
2024 is the year of a lot of gaming and gaming-tangential products being made with a ridiculous price tag but not a clear audience of people who ever asked for it. 🤔

This is the craziest fucking timeline.
It goes to show streaming services are not long for this world with the introduction of AI.

Link to the video. I agree, it was a really good video on this topic and how wrong it is philosophically.
- Comment on Firefish is entering maintenance mode 1 week ago:
I was on firefish’s previous instance, known as calckey, before I migrated back to Mastodon.
There were definitely warning signs that the project was facing maintenance issues in those days as well, and it felt that the Firefish rebrand was an attempt to “start a new”.
But just like my post on KBin’s demise, it should be a warning to those who want to make the software and host a “big” instance: Don’t do it. I think it’s smart to host your own mini instance for testing, but you should probably solely focus on the code development side of things to make sure that you aren’t over burdening yourself with managerial tasks. If your software is good, people will make spins inevitably. If people use it, then you will probably have enough people contributing that you can scale up your mini-instance if needed. But don’t jump in without the finances in place, because you’re essentially taking on two jobs.
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 1 week ago:
The internet as we knew it is doomed to be full of ai garbage. It’s a signal to noise ratio issue. It’s also part of the reason the fediverse and smaller moderated interconnected communities are so important: it keeps users more honest by making moderators more common and, if you want to, you can strictly moderate against AI generated content.

Linux 🥳 Crypto and other bullshit 🤢
Well, you know, I guess I’ll take the good with the bad.

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 weeks ago:
This is 100% justified.
These types of features have been regulated in fighting games for a long time. The ideal situation here would be for Razer to open source their firmware and establish a community-driven approved firmware design and let valve greenlight a specific configuration which can be parsed by the game’s executable (or, for tournaments, can be flashed for valid gameplay).
That’s my 2 cents at least.
- Comment on What are some adaptations with huge disparities in quality between the source and the anime? 3 weeks ago:
I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but there’s the entirety of Full Metal Alchemist’s first TV Series that starts pretty close but ends up diverging significantly. Many people find the ending of this original anime to be a huge disappointment – to the point where they completely redid the anime.
Trigun manga and the original TV series diverged, but it’s really up to debate whether the TV show is “worse” as I really think the quality of the show is mostly good but starts to show rough edges on the occasional episode. The last episode is pretty fantastic though, so they stuck the landing IMO. I think the story of the most recent Trigun Stampede is quite a bit worse than both the manga and the original series, though I would say that even the manga made some of the same mistakes but in different ways if… that makes sense lol.
Also, and this is a bit of a cop-out, but many of the Leiji Matsumoto manga projects are adapted completely differently with each movie / series / book having a completely isolated but similar continuity. This is an intentional design and is even true with all of his individual manga works. I’s part of his “Rings of Time” system, which allows characters to exist across multiple continuities and timelines. Anyway, while most of these projects resulted in some of the greatest shows and movies of anime legacy, there are also notably a few duds so it’s always worth reading reviews of a specific series / run and see whether people recommend a different series if you are interested in the characters.

AO was truly special in how bad it was. I gave up watching it somewhere around them sneaking around in tents, if my recollection serves correctly. I hear that it only got worse so I really lucked out haha.

I’ve talked to my girlfriend many a times about how disappointing all of the post tv series Eureka Seven content is. It feels like they’re all so messy and poorly executed.

Over the past three years, the couple, who are both 36 and live in a suburb of Portland, Oregon, have been looking for a home.
Yeah, it be like that here. Most houses are costing around 1,000,000 in the Portland area due to wealthy techbros moving from San Fran.

Awesome,
but I wonder if we’ll ever get better read and write counts on SD cards. It feels like the size is getting larger than the amount of possible writes to the device, making it kind of moot.
- Comment on Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store 4 weeks ago:
I mean, sure, but this counteracts all that money they spend when most artists make their money on Patreon or similar (if they make any money at all, frankly.)
- Comment on Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I actually think this policy is 100% correct and, if more services did this instead of eating the costs, we could have a real discussion about the harm caused by arbitrary fees.
It will likely result in Apple seeking a special deal with Patreon to avoid this mess though. It’s really not a good look for Apple especially as they cater themselves to the creatives market.
