Hey, do you have any distant plans? Are you going to get back to Cookie Clicker or do some more new stuff next year? Or maybe you don't have any plans further than Legacy release atm?

DISTANT PLANS THAT MAY NOT BE 100% REALISTIC :

  • continue working on Legacy, adding new eras as i go
  • get back to Cookie Clicker, adding minigames (dungeons, farming etc) to every building
  • redo my homepage and the forums
  • finish and release that music-making thingy i was making
  • polish Idle Game Maker and RandomGen
  • get back to Nested 2
  • possibly finish and port Crab Nicholson Extreme Sleepover to browsers
  • maybe some browser-based RPG framework at some point
  • that C# sandbox game i was making
  • that webGL evolution game i was making
  • that Castlevania-like i started when i was like 16
  • preserve my brain functions through time and space
  • solve the heat death of the universe
  • maybe more cookie stuff if i’ve got time
  • some other stuff i forgot, probably ?

[jenny - the mountain goats] we were the one thing in the galaxy god didn't have his eyes on / 900 ccs of raw whining power, no outstanding warrants for my arrest / hi diddle dee dee, goddamn, the pirate's life for meALT
"For me, this Jenny is like, it is and isn't the same person. Usually the three songs I think that she's mentioned in, she is a function of memory, right, she's there for a person to be remembering something. And I think everybody has people like that in their lives who when you say their name, your memory floods with a whole bunch of feelings that you may have worked really hard to move past or that you miss and would like to recall or any number of other things. And that's who Jenny is for the narrators who recall her, as somebody who is gone and whose absence continues to assert itself... She is defined by an absence, she has yet to speak. She's in the song Jenny; the other two songs she's in, she's already gone. She calls on the phone in Night Light and, uh, she calls on the phone in Straight Six. ...She's not there when things are going well, and she's not remembered when things are going well. Often when you're remembering your past, you remember the parts that you were desperate about, right. You seldom- you might reflect on good times in one way, but often, you say, oh, yeah, no, when I was hanging out with so-and-so, you don't want to blame them, but you think, that is a difficult time, right. Jenny is an emblem of more difficult times for people, of wilder times. But also times that they're pretty clearly romanticizing, right, that they're also remembering as the time when they were on a motorcycle with no responsibilities, livin' the pirate's life, right." - I only listen to the mountain goats, episode 4ALT
[straight six - the mountain goats] And I glide down the streets of this city / All night, uptight / Jenny's on the cellular, high as a kite / Sometimes the moon shines like a beacon to the weary and the sick in spirit / And sometimes, sometimes it's darkALT
[source decay - the mountain goats] And I read through the postcards you continue to send / Where as indirectly as you can / You ask what I remember / I like these torture devices from my old best friend / Well, I'll tell you what I know like I swore I always would / I don't think it's gonna do you any goodALT
The eponymous character also appears in the songs Night Light and Straight Six; in episode 13 of I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats, John said that Jenny is also the sender of the postcards in Source Decay.ALT
[night light - the mountain goats] Jenny calls from Montana / She's only passing through / Probably never see her again in this life I guess / Not sure what I'm gonna doALT
adding the one he just brought back from Austin, examines an ever-larger pile of postcards on the table, trying to put together the story he hopes they're trying to tell. That this story, the backstory, the ones the postcards don't tell, is obscure and uncertain -- that's kind of the point of the song. The backstory blurs and won't cohere, the evidence mounts and is available but it just won't gel into a satisfying narrative, which is a longstanding theme of mine, this way you sometimes really deeply and desperately need to get a clean narrative line through some story in your life, and when life won't give you that, you finally have to smile about it, but it's a pretty bitter smile, not the kind you smile when you're feeling good about something.ALT
[source decay - the mountain goats] I think about a railroad platform back in 1983 / And I remember the train headed south out of Bangkok / Down, down toward the waterALT

so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here's what you need to know:

  1. if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that's ok. they're allowed to do that.
image

2. they're asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.

image

3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they're asking people to use their best judgement. "organically" means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company's social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).

image

obviously this doesn't answer every question, and isn't hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!

Been in a funny mood where I really wanna re-read Infinite Jest for some reason… The prospect of carrying a fucking Tome the weight of 5 bricks around doesn’t scare me off anymore

This was an ad in the early 90's. I first saw it in a textbook in the late 90's, used as an example of the "slippery slope" fallacy.

Now it's over 20 years later. It's happening.
