"Update 1.14 coming out next week"

It's almost like they read that other post I wrote a while back, because they included a bunch (but not all) of the characters I mentioned were still missing there (and also some that even I didn't catch were missing, like Drolta Tzuentes and Actrise [still waiting on Gilles de Rais, though, I guess]).

"In terms of characters, we've actually tried to go for some even deeper cuts, but we could only go so far with the current licenses (in other words, if popular/obvious/interesting characters are missing, is only because of the complexity of getting the new licenses we needed for them was prohibiting for both us and our collaborators at Konami)."

I guess that explains why Aeon or the Lords of Shadow characters are still missing. Some of the others I mentioned that are still missing are ones that I never really expect to be included at all, like Simon's wife from Haunted Castle or the Order of Ecclesia villagers or Kid Dracula or the characters from the original Dracula novel.

As for the new music, I was still hoping for "Melancholy Joachim" or "The Master Librarian." Alas.

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Either Edmund McMillen had nothing to say about either LISA: The Painful or The Last of Us, or else Woolie and Pat were talking so much that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

I've attempted LISA: The Painful at least three or four times now and never really made it that far in. It's not a bad game, it's just that I feel like I would need to be in a certain mood to seriously attempt it, given the content, and that's a mood that I don't think I could sustain over however many days it would take to make it through. Haven't touched LISA: The Joyful at all yet, as a result. Oddly enough, the only game in the series that I've actually completed is the Yume Nikki-like freeware game LISA: The First (originally just LISA, because it was, you know, the first game). Despite the super shitty spider areas.

I only ever attempted The Last of Us (the first one, before it was called "Part 1") the one time, made it maybe a quarter to a half way into it, never finished it, and then sold it with all my other console stuff. I've never had any interest in rebuying it for PC as of yet, partly because of the price, which never seems to go on a good enough sale for me, and partly because I'm just not much interested in that style of game anymore.

I'm not sure if actually hearing this game described in detail makes me more interested or less. Since I can't decide, I'll just default to more, at least for now, I guess? In any case, it isn't scheduled to release until next year.

Or, at least, that's what Windows Update said today after it had downloaded and installed whatever "final" updates that were available today (on this, the official final day, supposedly, of support for Windows 10). So... I signed up for that shit, and I have access to security updates for Windows 10 until October 13, 2026 now, presumably. *shrug*

So, I suppose I can faff around and not upgrade my 15 year old CPU and motherboard and RAM for another year or so now.

"Hi! On today's show, we talk about the administration's continued assault on Chicago and Portland, Kristi Noem arresting the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa apparently, and Pam Bondi's attempts to stay in Trump's good graces."



The comparison of Trump's influence on the ending of Israel's genocide in Gaza to a toddler being handed an unplugged video game controller so they can pretend they're playing the game is very strong. And, yeah, sure, if it'll shut his dumb ass up, then make up some kind of participation trophy or whatever to give him. Just don't tarnish the name of the Nobel Prize (well, more than it has already been tarnished, anyway) by giving a Nobel Peace Prize to a dumbfuck asshat like Donald goddamn Trump who is currently waging fucking war on "his" own citizens.

Yeah, I guess the silver lining to all of this is that we're giving future historians some truly great material to pore over during their "just what the fucking hell were they thinking back then to elect such a bizarre man as president" studies of the 2010s and 2020s. That makes it all worthwhile. *eye roll*

The Trump """""administration""""" is going after "Antifa" now... but you better watch your ass, "Anonymous," cuz they'll be coming after you next. Founders of amorphous, ill-defined, nebulous groups in which anyone can claim "membership," better hide your girlfriends. Trump's coming for 'em.

Also, yeah, things don't seem to be going so hot for the Department of JusticeVengeance, I guess.

I'm guessing the title says "@$$holes" instead of "Assholes" for aLgOrItHm reasons.

Yeah, the gist of this video is "people, just in general, are incredibly fucking stupid."

What?

You mean to tell me that an egregious racist has once again demonstrated the fact that he is an egregious racist? I am shocked, I dare say!

(No, I don't know the story behind why Pat is wearing clown makeup. He was wearing the wig that you can see to the right in the previously released clip, which I didn't make a post about because I didn't care about the subject matter).



So glad I never once bothered with Game Pass.

"The Xbox Game Pass price hikes are so bad, it literally crashed the membership site due to widespread cancellations"

Pat: "This is so weird. This is like a complete loss of understanding of how, like, a normal person works. Which is appropriate for Microsoft."

Pat, dude, that has been the case since at least 2013, back when Microsoft was trying (and failing miserably) to hype up that piece of dogshit X-Box One (or X-Bone, as I call it). So... damn straight it is "appropriate for Microsoft."

Sony's going to get so shitty when the X-Box dies, Pat? Are you saying that Sony isn't already shitty? Granted, Sony can certainly become way worse than they already are, once their only real competition, such as it is, finally gives up and quits.



Concerning AI in general, here is another Pat quote: "Hey, listen, man. Listen. Listen, Woolie. Woolie, listen, I need five hundred billion dollars in order to finish the 'puts everybody out of work' machine, so that they can all spend more money than exists in the world in a single year on it. Like, how is the... how am I supposed to make a trillion dollars on the 'puts everybody out of work' machine, without you giving me five hundred billion dollars right now?"

And Woolie talking about Zelda Williams asking people to stop sending her videos of AI Robin Williams is sad.

From the article:

"To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening," she continued.

"You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross."

She concluded: "And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future,' AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

"Hi. You've probably seen enough Stephen Miller already this year to last a lifetime. But, stick with us, and we'll show you how this racist, disagreeable turd came to be Donald Trump's GrĂ­ma Wormtongue."



Comments on the video )

So... yeah, I did have comments, after all. I still got it in me. Kind of like a stomach virus that needs to puked up/shat out.

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Stephen Miller and his mouthface-anus piece Donald Trump, as usual.
