I am always surprised with the common happening:

- Game comes out
- Someone has a complete review on the next day, without having early access to anything

I am impressed by their determination in playing it so fast, creating an entire review, revising, and feeling ready to post it

Oh yeah, I definitely can't wait to actually try Brighter Shores with the whole membership thing.

But it being more expensive than Runescape is enough of a reason to wait

The things youtube recommended me I have no interest on:

- Random american news live channels
- Soccer games (?)
- Streams by "popular youtubers"
- Things I've already watched
- Video by controversial person
- Drama video about that controversial person
- "Can I beat [Game] with [Restriction]?"

The things that youtube recommended me today and I want more of:

- Random dude with <30 subscribers who recorded himself playing a game and commenting on it, without having a professional microphone, nor streaming to an audience, nor being obnoxious to get more views
- Random dude seeing what he can make with RPG Maker on a stream with few viewers

I've seen the reaction for two new updates for MMOs: Guild wars 2 and Destiny 2

For GW2 people are hyped for using spears on land. And owning a house

Destiny 2 I can't even know what the update is about, because the people who comment on that are complaining about the game

Perhaps one day I will finally play Destiny 2 and see what it's all about, since the only reactions I've seen were from people who dislike it, but still keep playing. All I know about it is "MMO shooter"

That last boost reminded me of a story a high school professor (of philosophy, no less) told us:
When he taught kids, they were always ready to ask the most varied questions he had ever heard, and he could be sure they were interested in what he was saying given the questions. They were forever curious, and enjoyed his class.

In high school, everyone was quiet, and he had to prod and ask students in order to get them to ask questions. He described that as "they became successfully 'educated'", meaning that they learned their place, and their curiosity had been forcefully suppressed.

In High school, at least where I studied, you rarely asked the teachers during class. Your doubts were bottled up, and you'd try your best to answer them with the textbooks. Sometimes you couldn't, and then you asked the teacher, or remained without answer.

Of course, this kind of behaviour was detrimental, and a lot of people (including me) would find out about it when we got to college.

Yes, youtube, I see that sometimes you try to promote less-popular channels on my Home Tab, with content that is kinda like what I see. Videos with 40 views about obscure RPG Maker games and such.

All I ask is a button that gives me, like, 200 of these

Dissidia Opera Omnia went offline yesterday, and reflecting back on the time I spent on it, I still enjoyed it. It was the only gacha game I played that gave me the feeling that I could unlock eonugh stuff, at my own pace, to do the end-game content, and have something to spare.

I remember that I maxxed about 70 characters in three months or so, and its systems made it easier to upgrade more characters the more you have already upgraded. It was a great system, and a great game.

However, every time they brought a new character, or touched upon a character's story, I would want to play that character's game. I know it was the intention (it's one of the intentions of Dissidia games), but it often got me off that game, and made me play something else.

I don't feel that the time was wasted. I got to know a good game, had my fun, experienced some stories, and got a new perception of gacha. I hope to find another game like it.

Content warning:OpenAI Sora thing, orange site

I don't know what's more surreal: The reveal of the prompt-to-kinda-uncanny-video model that we can't know anything about, or the reaction that can be seen on the hacker news comments.

Currently, the top one is about someone feeling depressive over the reveal, and some of the responses are so weird to me that they seem generated by some LLM or something of the sort.

There is also not much more from those responses, since the rules there would stop any discussion that is expected to get spicy (and such a thing easily invites such discussions), so it's just... mundane.

Mundane levels of tech bro weirdness over what is supposed to be the biggest revelation of (video-related) generative models just yet. I should have predicted that.

In any case, let's just wait and see if the guilty will receive any percentage of the damage they are causing.

Most people I've seen reminiscing about The Witness: "It was such a good game! I wish I could forget the puzzle solutions and play it again, completely fresh!"

Me, while getting stuck on the same hard puzzles, on my 2nd playthrough: "Haha, yeah, imagine that..." :3

One of the biggest surprises I had with games recently was Final Fantasy V, and its class system. It seems that more modern games have embraced the "you choose one upgrade out of these, and you cannot get the others" line, but Final Fantasy V not only lets you unlock skills based on how much you trained with one class, you can get all of them, on all of your characters.

I love that. I wonder if there are more games that do this kind of thing.

Content warning:Rambling about mastodon and the others

Sometimes I feel lucky to have landed on Mastodon at the first signs of the whole twitter thing. My first impressions after getting into this instance were "Oh, it's like that Tweetdeck thing I used before. Also, kinda weird that I have to click on two buttons to follow some people, but it's fine for me", and I had no other difficulties using it.

It's the only "social media" where, if I think about needing a feature, or thinking that a feature would be cool to have and use, I search the settings, and it is already implemented. Granted, I don't want much. Following hashtags was a nice find. The filter options were even better.

And I've seen people mentioning that it is quiet, or slow, and doesn't have much engagement. I can say that it is slower than what I had on twitter, but I like it. There are no ads, no random accounts being thrown at me "that I might like", no random tweets that other accounts liked, and no random tweets that were... Well, I don't even know why they appeared, but they did. Also, no "Trending" bar that was visible at all times with the most depressing news.

And yes, I prefer this "slowness" than the chaos of the other social media sites that push more time "engaged" in their app. With Mastodon, I check for a few minutes, and I'm done, and I don't feel bad, and I'm ready for some updates if they appear, at the speed that I can read them. It's relaxing. There is no FOMO here.

But, once again, I think I've been lucky. I've seen a lot of people giving up because "it's too complicated" or "there is too much bullying about hashtags, CWs, and alt texts on images".

I guess being a casual user has its advantages :3

I don't know if this is a common occurrence, but youtube has been recommending me (at front page at least) videos from channels that have very few subscribers (< 100), very few views (< 200), but has content that is kinda related to what I enjoy.

So I end up finding videos about games I never heard about, but then learn that there is a community around them, and they are having the kind of fun I remember from the days when youtube wasn't so full of ads (including the videos themselves being ads).

Romhacks, obscure games, "forgotten" online games, some tabletop games, and sometimes even popular games.

So... how can I have more of that? The rest of the recommendations from popular channels look so boring.

Once again finding myself on that uncomfortable space of "That gacha game looks fun. Too bad I can't play it".

The whole FOMO, timegates, and dailies mechanics took a lot of enjoyment from what I'd considered very cool games.

Perhaps one day I will be able to enjoy them again.

And today, I finished another #nanowrimo

Of course, "finished" means that I reached he 50K word mark, and that the story is nowhere near finished, because it changed to something I barely had any control over, and the initial plan turned into something more interesting, and went in directions I could not predict, but I'm glad I was able to finish it.

I always like the feeling of finishing a nanowrimo and seeing the cute video they decided to make for this year :3
