What The Heck is EVE Frontier?

For the past couple of months, since I mention EVE Online every once in a while, corporate social media has been trying to push ads in my face in regard to this new … ish game, by the same company, EVE Frontier. The problem, is that it’s very cryptic, and...

Websites, Websites Always Changing

Trying to get back into the habit of actually writing posts on my website, so, in the theme of a massive changelog in regard to things I’ve done and have been doing on my website, I’m going to detail here all of the things I’ve changed in the past week....

Returning to Second Life

A couple weeks back I decided to take a hiatus from Second Life. Mostly due to the fact that I’m frustrated that the community has mostly turned into a mass of hermits hiding on platforms who don’t talk to anyone anymore. And that’s really how it is in most online...

Fosstodon: Covering For Fascists, Again

Remember back at the end of April when I wrote about the double-team of admins at the Fosstodon instance having themselves a little meltdown over having to come to public terms with on-boarding a neo nazi to their moderation team? Remember how they stomped their feet and declared they’d be...

Meta Mass Deletes Instagram Accounts, Courtesy Of Llama 3

So, nobody’s really “reporting” on this, and, for all intents and purposes, I’m not a reporter. Never-the-less, nobody’s really writing about this, either. I suppose it’s partially because Meta and its platforms already jumped the shark about a million times in the past six months, and anybody who’s anyone, or...

Enter: Anubis

So, I don’t have a lot of brain-juice to spare lately. Mostly because I’ve been reeling from the existential crisis of turning forty … uh, TOMORROW (as of posting this), and I’ve been adjusting to a different position at work, which also comes with longer hours. But, with the limited...

Second Life, On Hiatus

So, 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 Bedrock

I’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 Erased

So, 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 Edition

So, 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...
