I wish I knew how to play another instrument, maybe piano or saxophone...

Playing the Spelunker theme on my recorder, for some reason.

also if you're self employed you're petit bourgeoise cos you're.. selling your product directly instead of just selling your labour?

but like.. isn't all the surplus value going to the labourer in a self-employed situation ?

and apparently a bunch of socialist groups are like "we should only fight for the proletariat, not the petit bourgeoise, even tho their actual wage and living conditions is the same" which boggles me

i mean plenty haven't... but. like

Someday I should write about my feelings on the new Celeste game.

Its story hit me pretty hard.

@KS@is.a.qute.dog @typhlosion I didn't think you could resist status-lowering moves though!

So here's the direction machine learning and games as a service are going. dubiousquality.blogspot.com/20

The only way the market is going to fix this is if being creepy, manipulative and invasive in some way precludes you from making tons of money. I'm not holding my breath.

@kitsch@witches.town For an example...

I'm going to be in San Francisco with @KS@is.a.qute.dog next month, when GDC (the Game Developers' Conference) is happening, and ... I don't feel like I deserve to be there at all.

I tried making games and could barely get started.
I tried making music (in hopes I could make music for games) and could barely get anything finished.
I feel surrounded by amazing, smart, talented people who can do anything they try, and yet I don't feel like I can do anything like them...

@kitsch@witches.town I ... guess? The kind where I feel like I have a place that matters, where I have a reason to keep making things, and where I feel people care about what I'm doing...

I really just feel like I don't have any reason to do anything anymore, and nobody would care if I just wasn't here... and I feel.... I don't know if obsoleted is really the word I'm thinking of? but I don't feel useful or needed anymore...

Ugh, I picked up a differential equations/linear algebra textbook at the local library, and I could only remember maybe a third of the basic definitions and properties it begins with.

I am so, so out of practice doing any advanced maths... x.x

Honestly that whole story still gives me chills though :s it's almost like they were warning us in 1972 and nothing has changed at all

Thinking about how great the music for Dr Seuss's The Lorax animated special was and how some parts of it still make me cry when I hear them

When the Once-ler explains what an Unless is at the end, even though it's maybe ten seconds long, just, ;~;

You can just /hear/ how hopeless things are by how everything is presented and the music backing that scene accentuates it perfectly
