It may be understandable to view the novel as high art using pedophilic themes to craft an intriguing story, with no intention to titillate.

Then you check out the author’s other work…

The exhausting thing is this literally happened. Trump shat his diaper in court and the MAGA crowd started the “Real Men Wear Diapers” bowel movement.

Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.

All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he’s just as good an artist and Jezza doesn’t have the heart to call him out on it.

Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother’s an actual artist too so it’s hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very “anti-woke” and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.

The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he “gave them” a child, while the ones that didn’t get pregnant were jealous.

He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn’t the protagonist’s viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.

Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.

“But council I was merely casting the humble and fun Balloon Animal spell ~targeting penis~”

There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought “this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?”.

That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out “make it bigga!” then pushed to production.

Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it’s sawblades and nukes.

Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I’ve only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).

I’ll be playing work 🥲

Besides that I’m currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don’t know if remakes count on this sub).

Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the “tutorial”.

When programmers with ADHD/Autism get interrupted from a fixation (like a video), suppressing that interruption, even if unproductive or unimportant, becomes their new fixation.

I’ve been guilty of this many times, for better or worse.

God you don’t realize how many tiny things you need to buy until you don’t have them.

You’d expect to find something like a ruler, some tape, a pen, sticky notes, ect. but realize you gotta buy them first instead of just searching your clutter drawers.

Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.

Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.

They will assume Skinner is the main character after the only remains being fossilized steamed hams edits.

My favorite fact about all this is that Spielberg insisted on the giant raptors during production. Around the same time the Utahraptor was first being studied, an actual giant raptor about the same size.

Less fun fact, it was gonna be name Utahraptor Spielbergi but it was changed last minute because Universal was suing museums over the word Jurassic. Trademark trolls ruin everything.

Guy on the right, look at his sheer confidence!

He’s already won and he knows it.

Literally what uprooted my “rational” centrist opinions on everything.

The timetable quote just hit me and my sensibilities like a truck.

Yeah but then you get older and it doesn’t cut it anymore so you switch to the harder stuff.

I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.

Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.

Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.

I say Psychosis because I forget the exact mental disorder he had.

I also say “it’s not bad” as in I’m not judging him for it.
