I want to enjoy video games again :(

(this is not about games getting worse, this is about my mental state getting worse)

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)

#gametranslation

>best not to start a project out of negativity

very individual, seething spite has often been my most productive motivator

do thing because i like thing? can always do it later

do thing because it was done dirty one way or another? bring it the fuck on, here comes the holy crusade

46% profit is actually outrageous, it's nuts how doing good things is just a net good for everyone but people need to insist that things need to be bad for things to be good

Watching TV with grandma at home, wow, they really are all in on video generation, they keep ai-animating historic photos and even paintings and it looks incredibly eerie in an eye-gouging way

Oh bugger :(

>20% off on itch (with no regional pricing either)

I still haven't read a single Shoujo Tenrankai replay, what am I doing with my life.

Same goes for Stellar Knights, although it's a more straightforward system

What was good/interesting about cohost?
I've only ever checked out a few personal blogs there without even using my account and I didn't really "get" it, it felt very similar to Livejournal or WordPress to me, but I see people remembering it with a lot of fondness

so is this basically machikado mazoku?

Семёнович оказался Соломоновичем, но всю жизнь это скрывал (такое время было) и жёстко отругал мою маму, когда она начала что-то подозревать

TIL настоящее имя дедушки и его родителей, если бы остались какие-то документы то я мог бы претендовать ещё на один там паспорт, лол

The format supports that for sure, it's their rules that don't support it... (can only speculate as to why, perhaps because of iOS rendering issues or some overly safe interpretation of varying international legal requirements for captioning – or maybe, indeed, they just don't care)

But this probably only works on some devices, e.g. iOS infamously has strict guidelines on subtitle formats (which is actually super convenient as this lets me download VTT versions of the sub files that are served as images in the web player)

This isn't really because of anime, it's for any Japanese content on their services, of which anime is not a majority. Netflix just states in their subtitling rules, roughly: "since Japanese allows vertical text, use it when the subtitle would otherwise overlap with something important on screen"

Damn, this shit is rough, hope you get better 🙏

Having slept for a grand total of two weird dream shallow sleep hours because of anxiety, I'm already feeling completely drained on the ferry, and I still have (checks notes) 15-25 hours of travel in front of me, depending on luck

Love diagnosing myself based on Wikipedia articles, but having seen a public person struggle with this (Vlad Vexler) — yeah, I don't have it even nearly that bad...

It's like you're trading one pattern of bad sleep for another, and to be honest it's almost better without any meds as at least the daytime isn't affected that much, even if I dread going to sleep every night

Amitriptyline had little effect on the earlier half of the sleep but seemingly I had a deeper latter half, doxepine is the reverse. The second half is full of reality-based and thus confusing dreams, I wake up multiple times, and in the mornings I feel like absolute hell. Sleep meds suck.

Two nights after stopping amitriptyline were hell (maybe I should try it again but with a much slower dosage increase, but to be honest the effect was meh anyway), now trying doxepine, no additional drowsiness during the day, uninterrupted sleep for first 4-5 hours, then shit gets really crazy...

wish i was going on a solo vacation instead of going to msk
every time coming back to work feels like the real vacation :(

you can get the BDs btw, they've been dumped on torrents and look much better

nyeko is so nervous that nyeko's bad twitter habits are one again oozing into bsky (even though i did effectively quitter by now)

guess this is why i end up throwing money at a certain yuri mecha anime creator instead (should've thrown more really)

been meaning to do something for the (non-toxic) yuri jam for like a decade now, but i managed to become chronically exhausted and anhedonic before trying it for real even once :(

somehow outside of coding for work and the occasional shitty fan translation i am not able to do anything creative :(

you need a basic writing skill though, and that is a threshold i am somehow physically unable to clear

Works both ways too! (atrocious video game movie adaptations by Uwe Boll are a meme of its own)
