"In this game, there are no consequences. So why do you still insist on playing the 'good' side?"

She replied with a raised eyebrow.

"You could simply reach out and take whatever you wanted, and none would be able to stop you. Few could even try. So why don't you?"

A pause. "If this really is a game with no consequences," she said eventually, "what point is there in playing anything other than the 'good' side?"

"Personal gain?"

"Inconsequential."

The faeries had been generous.
My table was constantly piled high with the best food, my clothing always fit perfectly, my shoes never pinched or rubbed my feet.

Anyone who knows anything about fairies knows you never accept gifts from them or eat their food, lest you be trapped and beholden to them.

But I decided since I was trapped in my apartment anyway, what the heck.

So far all they'd asked for in return was my Netflix password.

"Listen," she said quietly, "I know how this is supposed to go. The knight gets past the dragon, rescues the princess and blah blah blah."

The knight raised an eyebrow.

"But I can't just leave right now." The princess gestured to a nest with three large dragon eggs. "I promised the dragon I'd be her nurse maid."

"Oh," his eyes widened with realisation. "Ohhhh! Hey, can I stay? I could knit them little sweaters! Do dragons wear sweaters?"

anti logo stuff 

my personal rule: never do advertising for free. if a product is branded and removing the logos is too hard, I cover them up. For gadgets, stickers work well.

some manufacturers make their logos embossed, maybe to avoid this very technique. it's annoying but I find that, at least at a distance, stickers can still reduce the majority of their brand recognition powers.

A woman in a cafe leans across the table towards a shadowy figure on a hood.

"Are you saying… it's possible to get isekai'd into another isekai? To get knocked one level deeper?"

"The real question, Lucky, is how many times this has already happened…"

This summer, join klutzy truckbait Naomi "Lucky" Shi on her accidental journey through the quirky yet problematic worlds beyond death, to the very heart of existence, where she must confront the jackass who keeps greenlighting all these cookiecutter isekai shows.

Simulcast begins August 2020 on VRV.

stalking, doxxing 

I just learned that byuu's "Burnout" on emudev and erratic "I'm leaving, no I'm back, no I'm leaving again" behavior was because someone was stalking him, and now he's disappearing for good to protect himself and others.

I'm... I can't put into words the rage I'm feeling right now.

"The future of video games is having them become more expressive—"

Yes! 😃

"—by having them emulate real life more directly."

No! 😃

Fun fact:

Years ago I asked about the possibility to video lectures to save records of them online for students to use for studying and was told I couldn't because it would probably violate FERPA.

This year because of covid I have to videotape all lectures in case students don't feel like coming to campus or fall ill.

Basically all the things we were told you can't do that would make academia more accessible are suddenly being done. It's almost like they could have been done all the time.

Twitch Stream 

We're at the... 16th? night of the Racial Justice and Equality Bundle games I want to show off, and that's only like 1/8 of the total items in the bundle!

Anyway, more Lenna's Inception, and more variety. Not much Lenna left!
