Why Language Models Hallucinate. A paper released by OpenAI in September of 2025.

Back in September, OpenAI released a paper showing that ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. It's how the system fundamentally works. Which means there is no "fix."

painted wip chibi of a guy with a scythe, he gives a tired smile.

Managed to do some art-- even if not a lot. Tried drawing Simon as a chibi (different than the jellybean chibis).

First day. First sale. And since it's Bandcamp Friday, Kim gets to keep the entire $1.50!

To make that much on Spotify, she'd need 500 plays. Except there's a minimum of 1000 plays to even make a cent.

Spotify sucks. Support real musicians @bandcamp.com

Serious Tech Demo

Six years ago
had I known
what was about to happen
I would have looked around
so I could appreciate
(all things considered)
how good I had it.

Six years from now
I just hope
that I do not find myself
looking back at today
and (all things considered)
thinking the same thing.

Cozy Blanket and Snake Plushie!

Digital art of Megumi Kitaniji from The World Ends With You with an arm raised up high. His serpent Noise form is behind him and the graffiti-skeletal parts of his Noise form appear around Megumi like they are wings.

Megumi Kitaniji looks down at his hand. A Game timer is reflected in his sunglasses with 00:04:04:44:44 remaining. He's in the Room of Reckoning in red with a warped ceiling.

Doodle of my OC Father as a chibi head and long hair. He looks tired or so done with it.

Digital art of Sera, my Cross from Xenoblade X, as a nopon. Yelv says, "You're a tough potato, aren't ya?" Sera thinks "Am I potato too?" with a smile on her nopon face.

Potato Club

Sera is happy to join the potato club, as she is good buddies with Tatsu. Yelv calling you a potato shortly after going through all the introduction Tatsu scenes is just…good timing.

Doesn't stop my ND brain from wondering if I did something wrong right from the get go but the beginning part was standard I think. I should find out next week if I get it or not at least!

Either outcome is ok since not having a job while I move makes that easier. But a job is also good cause, job!

I think the interview went well - they want references so that's a good sign!

But it was ironically the most stiff interview I've had and it was probably for one of the coziest workplaces I've applied to which is what it is!

Indeed, and thank you again! 💕

Thank you!

Congrats on making it through the interview! Glad yours went better, you deserve a good rest for getting through it!

Thank you! 💕 I believe as long as the interview is honest on their end, I'll believe I'll be fine 🤞

Interview scheduled for tomorrow!!

A little nervous. it's been a while since I've done one. But if I'm calm and human (:']) then it should be fine. It's s service job, not something techincal.

At the very least, it'll be interview practice if it goes poorly :']

I can't remember if I ever shared this. A painting I did for a card for my partner last year of us walking our dog in the snow.

...I immediately thought of OneShot after posting this!!!

I don't think it would be in the top 9 at the moment but I could see it taking La Mulana or TWEWY's maybe if I'd been into OneShot recently.

Also I did debate Splatoon 3 but Screen really did kill it. Splatoon is generally cool otherwise

dude I regularly joke about how dense I am and you couldn't waterboard this information out of me let alone get me to voluntarily admit it to a userbase I have authority over. Jesus fucking Christ are you serious right now

My guess is Jimmy & maybe ESA would be the bigger surprises since I don't ever talk about them. Jimmy was an adventure that really hasn't left me. ESA is a difficult charming 2D Metroid like package.

SPC & TWEWY spiked up cause of recency bias. SPC VODs are my current comfort background noise game

Finally got around to this! In no particular order, and the top 9 shifts around a bit, but here's the current top 9!

If anyone surprised by the types of games that stick around?

I heard back from a job application about hours and availability... ahhhh here's hoping it works out!

I'm not sure it's enough income to prevent me from moving but it'll be nice to have a job again. For my mental health (hopefully) and (sadly necessary for) my resume.
