You’re reading that title and you’re groaning. You’re probably groaning so hard that you’re almost farting and maybe shidding a little. But fret not, this isn’t what you think it is. I’m not sitting on a rented yacht with a monkey image. In fact, none of that money even exists in my wallet, anymore. But I did do it. And it’s never going to be possible to do it again. It started after I returned to my previous job. I didn’t have a good phone, and the car I got was already seeing issues…
I am a fan—and have been for years—of decentralized media: the ability to host your own thing and keep your data safe from big corporations and profit-seeking entities entirely. And, to be frank (don’t call me Frank), that’s exactly what OpenSim is. Decentralized. But this is something I detailed in the first post I ever made about OS back in 2025, almost a year ago to the day. Has my experience changed? Have my opinions morphed? It’s true, OpenSim has AI-generated stuff everywhere. But so does…
In my previous post I talked about how blown-away I was by the current story happening in Wuthering Waves, and how much the game has grown since its launch a few years ago. I also mentioned the amazing Endfield, and the newly launched, “Neverness to Everness”, an anime ghost-hunter Grand Theft Auto-inspired kinda gacha thing. And that is what I want to talk about today, because there’s … a lot to talk about. Can you decipher what’s happening in this screenshot? I’ve given this game my attention…
A little while back … okay, actually, two years ago, I wrote about my first impressions with Wuthering Waves, an anime gacha mobile game that has a PC counterpart with cross-progression (I’m starting to view games without cross-progression and a mobile counterpart to be inferior, because I like taking my games and their progress around with me in my pocket). I talked about how the first iteration of the game and it’s launch was really cool, but the story left a little to be desired. In that, it…
There are a lot of takes about AI out there on the internets, some good, some bad. Okay, actually, a lot bad. There’s talks of the environmental impact, which I personally feel can’t be spoken about fully, until we acknowledge the environmental impact that we, and our habits, have already contributed to environmental breakdown (fossil fuels, media consumption, consumerism). And then, there’s talks of copyright, and LLM training, which … for some reason, is continually popping people into…
It came to my attention, that, while there are plenty of people who lived through the nineties, not everyone has the same kinds of experiences with what was essentially a decade of technological revolution. A revolution that brought us to exactly where we are now, for better, or for worse, depending on who you ask. So, I figured it might be neat to write down my memories of the decade. Both, because there are people younger than me who apparently wish they lived this decade, and also because,…
Recently I posted on here about relaunching my Minecraft server, and doing it in a way that’s nice and cheap and not heavy on the wallet (address: mc.mkultra.monster). Initially, I loaded up the server with a “starter pack” that new players get whenever they join, and my little spawn building that sets you off on your journey. Well, there’s a lot more than that now. A rundown of new things I’ve added to my server: Sign yourself up for a job, be it mining, hunting, farming, or fishing (/jobs),…
