Me: I was given the Leslie Nielsen Award at school.

Them: What’s that?

Me: It’s a big building where they teach children, but that’s not important right now.

I am going to play some Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Been a while since I last streamed it, so let's see if can get any decent runs or if we step on a rake immediately. See you in the chat!

I'm going to play a bit of War Thunder over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. I haven't played it in a bit again and I felt like I was having too good of a time. See you in the chat!

I've started saying 'cyberspace' instead of 'internet', and I urge you to do the same. We really have reached or even surpassed what dystopian cyperpunk of 40 years ago has imagined. Language should reflect that.

I'll do a bit of Megabonk over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Thought about doing some coding, but my bonk addiction has deep hold of me. See you in the chat!

It is done. After rage quitting Hollow Knight years ago, I finally managed to come back with a vengeance and clear it to the credits. Not full completion, but I am satisfied. Honor is restored.

I feel like I might be coming down with the flu, but I'm still in reasonable shape, so I will try to play some Hollow Knight over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Will cut short if it turns out I am not up to it, but still hoping to make a little bit of progress today. See you in the chat!

I'm going to do a bit of coding on the VOD library again over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Going to tie together the title collection functionality, so livestream VODs get matching titles from stream. See you in the chat!

I just find some of the design decisions of DOOM 2016 baffling. Lowered soundtrack volume during glory kills? Level design full of jaggies that you get stuck on in a movement shooter? Creating difficulty with tanky enemies instead of larger crowds? Bunch of the weapons and their mods being redundant and unfun? Not a very fun game to be honest but I guess at least it's not Hexen.

I'll be playing more DOOM 2016 over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Let's keep blasting these demons! See you in the chat!

Work's done for the year and I am going to play some Hollow Knight over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Everything is once again right in the world. See you in the chat!

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

I am getting very sick and tired of our work culture at the org. We keep messing up things again and again and choosing not to learn anything, then patting ourselves on the back for what a good job we are doing. Any call for improvement is instantly shut down with this "but our team is doing so well!" BS.

Whoops. Complained in a work chat that our release was totally busted for the third time this year and this exec comes to play defense about how excellently everyone has been doing their part and how maybe I should have raised concerns earlier and privately. Told him I will not raise concerns next year and we can all just settle for our preferred level of excellence. I think I am not long for this company at this point.

I will be doing some more coding over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. Still working on some code to process Owncast webhook events into some future stream integrations. See you in the chat!
