raw sql is irritatingly inelegant

skill issue + dumbass + ratio

pompous language aside, this concretely means: - isolating myself - listening to sadboi trap - playing video games - immersing myself in projects - neglecting the women in my life

at my core i'm the same person i was 8 years ago the egyptianism of my desires is disappointing, and they are locked in place by being indexed to my idea of freedom.

since i will never escape the material conditions that cause me to strive for freedom in this lifetime, i will not have the opportunity to overcome this inadequate instantiation of an inadequate concept.

it's notable how in my more ornery states of being, when given a modicum of room to breathe, i slot myself quite cleanly into a comfortable masculinist mode

hehe i figured it’d be a tricky one, that’s why i was curious what you’d pick

if i can be greedy and do two 🥺

i can’t stand notifications in general, but sounds specifically are by far the worst 🙅‍♀️pop-ups🙅‍♀️banners🙅‍♀️sounds🙅‍♀️screen turning on🙅‍♀️badges🙅‍♀️ ✅😄👍✅ touch keyboard without meddlesome interference from the behavioral psychologists in your walls ✅😄👍✅

i'm incredibly unremarkable, and that's sometimes embarrassing - but i wish i were more unremarkable in many ways. i wish i was invisible, to the point of being left alone completely. maybe then i could become something worth mentioning.

such pedestrian ruminations are further evidence of my membership in the mediocre herd.

something i find really fascinating is the volume of creative works within their medium. like at some point in time it was probably possible to read every book in one lifetime, but that's clearly no longer the case. and since literacy is no longer restricted to specific class, the content of books

doesn't have nearly the same continuity or mutual resemblance that mediums in their relative infancy, say, anime or visual novels, do. now, i've cheated a bit by choosing examples with an almost inherently culturally bounded domain - however, we have begun to see the emergence of english VNs as well

(think itch.io, ren.py ). it's kinda exciting to be living around a point of emergence and to see the cultural sentiments at the time. the things people care about now will eventually comprise a genealogical account of the phenomena, and that's a fun thought.

LOL ilysm ur so real for this

she has like 3 total outfits, and the cyan/maroon/lime combo is the only one that actually covers anything

me after reading the manpage to feel included: the ask flag, how conservative

finally, a voice of reason in the cheating discourse

how about you compile some bitches

in most cases machine translation is perfectly serviceable (as long as it wasn't done forever ago)

and also bad translations can be aesthetically stimulating and interpretatively enlightening in their own right

fwiw2 muramasa prefix comes in clutch often when vn things are scuffed (but yea, it's a pain to set up) www.reddit.com/r/visualnove...

i have too many of these lol

i just re-downloaded to see if could reproduce/troubleshoot and no :( im just too sexy and everything works smoothly for me :pensive:

fwiw it's one of the favs and easily worth the (50 hour) time commitment

"guys come look i undermined analytic philosophy" *eats baguette* what the fuck is that *continues writing the worst existentialism you've ever seen*

could finally give you an excuse to get into early wittgenstein

don't wanna be seen

steam on linux makes the VN experience way more streamlined than i ever remember it being on windows actually. literally just enable proton and set launch options to "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 %command%" and youre good to go wtf

*installing eng patch for a vn* README.txt "instructions: [youtube link] windows 10 instructions: [youtube link]" oh interesting, they assume linux by default? *clicks link* nvm lmao windows 7

its actually super fucking cool to see win7 vids around, feels like much more creative, open, and interesting era. compelling aesthetically, and i am filled with admiration for the people involved.

neat, i made a manpage

groff is scuffed asf lmao

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even tacitly take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop."

i exaggerated for dramatic effect (this is actually 4 sentences)

puppy-girls post twink-death: woof

i spend all day dealing with abstractions dreamed up by the worst humanity has to offer, and it has an utterly corrosive affect on my imagination.

which isn’t entirely fair - the conceptual innovations were clearly necessary to facilitate the issues at hand - but it’s precisely the compulsion of this necessity, this radically contingent necessity, that is so disturbing.

on aesthetic grounds alone, the necessity of conceptual nests as hostile to parsimony as these are a disqualifying condition for minimally decent society

yes very :3 (omg i love your pfp it’s so edgy)

my revealed preferences are signalling too strong to avoid this conclusion unfortunately... neolibs win again 😔

i have too many already &.&
