I am (relatively) at ease, this morning. Even though I woke up late and my feet are cold.

sam altman can have all 32 gigabytes of my RAM for precisely $5,592.77, which is precisely the amount of money it would take to pay off my student loans in one single payment.

...plus another hundred for a good night out on the town.

i say this because i know he'll never see it, and even if he does, he'll never make good on it. asshole.

almost feeling like i ought to leave the place where that happened, anyway, because while it's not as elitist as some of the fighting and shmup circles i keep getting glimpses of, it recently feels like i am just not getting anything of value from it, as the most active people in there are the ones whose attitudes just do not mesh well with mine.

and, yeah, i tend to not want to talk because things like the above have happened to me, too.

anybody can engage with a game in whatever levels and angles they want. there is no wrong way. if you do this, i consider you just as valid.

i will continue to champion these ideals. ... from a comfortable distance away.

another discussion begins in regards to "if you beat the game by cheating, you didn't beat the game." i enter the discussion by saying there's plenty of ways to engage with a game and a lot of the people who do that probably don't want to talk because they feel their POV is not valid.

someone else comes in; admits they only finished Fire Emblem in Casual mode. they then get talked down to, and told that they "didn't really play Fire Emblem."

... why does being vindicated have to feel so bad?

i suppose the original Hitman in itself wasn't that much less weird, because the metaplot is about 47 tracking down all of the sources of his genetic code (the aforementioned super-criminals) to kill them, and one of them is basically just Tony Montana from Scarface in a really long and annoying jungle level

good morning. i dreamed that I'd decided to replay Hitman: Codename 47. i vaguely remembered Hitman being about a secret society of super-criminals, but i did not remember that one of them summoned humanoid flies or that one of them was a life-sized papier-mache dinosaur.
