I invented my 71 value and it was the best idea.

S-tier bougie-ass thing to want but “fits in an IKEA frame” is a thing I kinda wish more fan artists could aim for, I’m way past dorm poster adhesive years old but arbitrary custom frame sizing is bonkers expensive. “I wanna frame this but not, like, an expensive frame” is kind of a dick thing to say, I get it, but…

By weight, two parts green onions, two parts ginger, two parts garlic, one part red Thai chiles. Spoonful of whole cumin and coriander seed, make a ~6-8% salt solution and fill the container.

Throw it in the fridge for a week or three. Burp it carefully every day or three.

At the end of this, we're going to drain it - preserving the liquid - and then throw it in a blender, pouring the liquid back a bit at a time to thin it out to however thin you want it, and that's how I make hot sauce.

... and I think a lot of accusations of "conspiratorial thinking" fall straight into this weird blind spot. Why is anything happening? Well... because there are these two types of oorganizations you don't know how to see, working to advance their interests in the way they routinely do, you just don't have names for them.

For the people who know those names they're right there, plainly visible, but if you can't see something whoever's trying to show it to you inevitably sounds like a lunatic.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of the other two guys in this trenchcoat.

"Everything". A totally unexpected game. Beautiful and _incredibly funny_.

Heaven's Vault and Chants Of Sennar, both language-building puzzlers, both wonderful.

Melatonin, chill rhythm game. A Short Hike, a chill explorer.

Oh: Venineth! Marble Madness on an alien planet. Amazing, glitchy-Vangelis soundtrack.

Searching my own blog for old video game reviews that I guess I posted to my own instance but never turned into blog posts? God, what an embarrassing oversight.

(Gris is not a good game. It's a mediocre platformer wrapped in uninspired iconography and you press X to ennui instead of not die.)

I wonder what the correlation between color spectrums and costs are, in this modern world.

If this proposed cultural and aesthetic capture of genuflecting to inoffensiveness and resale value is real, the other end of that spectrum you'd expect is that "colorful" becomes synonymous with "disposable".

This is an absolutely disgusting idea, genuinely vile, but now I need to keep an eye out.

This has paralleled a really bleak interior design trend of doing the same, faded colours and muted grey that make new houses look like waiting rooms and airports instead of places where humans exist.

It's not just a capitalist aesthetic, I think, but the aesthetic conformity of a people _captured by_ capital, who have a viscerally felt incentive to prioritize the resale value of a thing over any sort of joy of living in it.

Far as I know I'm the only person who remembers that speech even happened, and it's been very strange to hold this perspective over time, watching this evolving power dynamic of the world play out globally, feeling like I'm watching a game where the announcers and referees can't even see half the pieces because they don't know their names.

Around ... God, 20 years ago now? I was at FSOSS at Seneca arguing that the internet had changed the atomic values of society in a way we hadn't come to grips with. Between the Code Of Hammurabi and The Peace Of Westphalia, the old "units" of society were either the individual or the state. I said, the network enables two new ideas now, the corporation and the cell - transational, heirarchic capital, and global, loosely connected, ideologically aligned groups.

@lykso I hadn't considered that element of Tailscale, and it is definitely a mark against; I agree that antidependency outside of the communities is a core concern, thanks for pointing that out.

Oh, Apple was Up To That Bullshit from its earliest days. Just opening a 1stgen Macintosh needed automotive torx screwdrivers.

This summer’s present to myself, old new stock of a 40 year old frame, never strung. A much, much less elegant weapon from a much, much less civilized age, but in the right hands on the right day the last argument of the sport of kings. Modern frames feel so flimsy to me, unusably so, and nothing even vaguely like this is being manufactured by anyone today.
