the “dating girls is just easier!!” rhetoric is so deceptive like what the actual fuck have you ever met a lesbian

After doing nothing but sleep and game for two days I feel the call again...the call...of the rider...

[servuscallidus]

weird that the girls I'm doing my traineeship with have almost only met the bone tired and sleep deprived version of me. It's a version that version close to tipsy me and that's all they've known

Our apologies if we're... inconsistent in the next little bit. If you'll allow us to be briefly negative, the 3DS/WiiU online services shutdown is... hitting us, with the abrupt GRIEF of something that was loved and cherished and cared for being abruptly... shut down, just like that. Features taken out forever. Parts of games that could have been loved for years to come simply being... gone. An axe that, unlike with older games, CAN'T simply be recovered from, except with infrastructure. Communication between games lost forever. A whole link in things gone, with a lifespan of barely more than twelve years.

It's...

We enjoy the Pokemon games. If we were to start a trade between two GBA Emerald cartridges nowadays, provided we tracked down the hardware, it could still be done. Nothing is lost of communication features. Platinum is a full game without the wifi features, albeit missing a few trade evolutions, and if you have a wifi router with antiquated enough settings, you can still transfer your pokemon forward to Gen 5. Black and White lose few features and can be played in full without hurting too much. With the 3ds...

Pokemon Bank being shut down means no more transfers to future games. A guillotine to transferring beloved Pokemon forward, with no real remedy. ORAS's secret bases rely on passively collecting data from other participants to function. Hacking 3DS games is already difficult, and we doubt that reverse engineering parts of infrastructure that are simply gone will be easy. Maybe it's just other things fucking with us, and we're definitely being a bit dramatic, but... the eShop shutdown already cut off massive amounts of previously playable games. Who will archive online features? Who will archive the things that require connective infrastructure? As things grow more complicated, they grow more difficult to repair. How long before it becomes impossible to replace that which once was?

Twelve years feels like a horribly short lifespan for any technology, and things keep trending worse - making things faster and faster and more and more rushed as the structures they're built on require more and more work. This isn't sustainable. This can't keep going. This market is running faster than we can handle, and it feels like it's only getting faster. Modern things keep being discarded the moment they aren't shiny and new, keep leaning more and more on communication and intercommunication and infrastructure that will rot the moment it isn't actively attended to. How much worse will it be for future things?

There is a game on our computer, fully installed. No online features at all. Yet, it cannot be played. It was made with AOV to prevent piracy, and the servers it was meant to connect to no longer exist.

We don't want more games to be made the same way. But we don't think that this road branches anywhere but an awful demise, approaching faster and faster by the day.

work is really fucking bumming me out today (and just lately in general), wanna send me some good vibes to get me through the next half hour ?

I gotta say on the one hand it's kind of frustrating that I can't get diagnosis or treatment for my symptoms disease*, and on the other hand it's more than a little funny that the medication that just so happens to treat my symptoms disease** is also the medication given to me by doctors for asthma or allergy flareups. Also, the medication that's been like "doesn't fix it completely but sure as hell helps a LOT" was not actually prescribed for my endocrine issue! It was prescribed for salt wasting syndrome, a thing that is not actually a diagnosis (because two opposite things are called that)*** I am not a medical professional do not take any of this as medical advice, I'm just venting

*aka whatever is wrong with my endocrine system. I don't have an official diagnosis, just many different specialists going "yeah that's...not supposed to happen. Sounds like something is wrong with your endocrine system and it might be autoimmune" **corticosteroids ***there are two things that can be called salt wasting syndrome: cerebral salt wasting syndrome, and SIADH. From what I've heard from various doctors, the treatment for the two things are pretty much the complete opposite, even though the symptoms present the same.
