A listing of all long-form posts published to-date. Herein, you'll find my thoughts on concepts, ideas, politics, and more. Second Life, On HiatusSo, a couple days ago I decided to stop paying for all these things that I do in Second Life in order to maintain a presence for my store in-world, and to have a “place” for my avatar to “live.” And it wasn’t really a split second decision or anything....

I Keep Trying To Like Minecraft BedrockI’ve written a few times about Minecraft now. About how the ending made me think about life, about how Notch was kicked to the curb, and how to reconcile the ultra-child pandering Mojang does even though a good portion of their playerbase are adults. And that’s part of what I...

Early Minecraft, And Why Notch Was ErasedSo, for the past month I’ve been on a really long Minecraft kick of setting up a new world that I started building on my Bedrock realm, flip-flopping between Java and Bedrock, because I can’t really decide which one is better suited to host a “forever world,” and basically just...

SoundCloud Bites The Dust: AI EditionSo, the past couple years have been pretty much just a non-stop horror show, as each platform and app you use goes head-first into slop factory hype, and integrates some needless AI feature that violates your consent. I personally feel we mostly have out-of-touch CEOs and investors to blame for...

How Minecraft Helped Me Re-Contextualize LifeThis year has been pretty lukewarm, at least in my personal life. Only real big change was a shift-switch in my job. Everything else? Pretty much just sort of, stagnant, but not really in a negative light. Oh, and there’s me having an ongoing existential crisis over turning forty at...

BQC: Pointless Facts About MeI was tagged and/or challenged to answer some basic pointless questions as a blog challenge via ShellSharks, and before I pass out and sleep for my “friday” at work, I think I’ll go ahead and answer them! Especially since, I haven’t written here much due to the fact that a...

Fosstodon: The Neutral ProblemSo, I was kind of debating writing this, because it’s not a very happy, or good topic. But, also, it’s a topic that’s scattered all over the Fediverse in about a million threads with no clear beginning, or even an end. To cut straight to the matter: Another Mastodon instance...

Does The Fediverse Need Influencers To Survive?Today I’m going to talk about something that someone decided to complain about, on the Fediverse, that most of us on the aforementioned verse are extremely opposed to. But, these kinds of takes were inevitable, since corporate social media is already a thunder-dome of garbage, and of course there are...

Discord: The Community KillerIt’s been a little while since I’ve written on an actual topic. A lot of that has to do with me filling my free time with building a ridiculous world around my base in Minecraft Java (heavily modded), and jumping back into World of Warcraft on my original DeathKnight from...

A Deluge Of Sleep And WorkI haven’t really written here all that much in the past couple weeks, and it’s not entirely because I don’t want to, or don’t feel like it. I mean, you can see me posting daily on Akkoma from right here on the site. But, I’m deep into the night shift...
