Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 28 July 2024
  • They targeted gamers.

    Gamers.

    We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

    We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

    We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

    Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

    Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

    These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

    Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

  • Hej/hi!
  • Låter som ett roligt initiativ! Jag tänkte bara rätta några små fel i din text.

    Låter lite konstigt. Jag skulle nog inte böja "fediverse" alls, utan bara säga "när fediverse fortfarande växer".

    Jag vet inte varför, men man säger aldrig så. Antingen "det roliga med" eller "det som är kul med"

    så får man förstår dem andra

    "så förstår man de andra" eller "så kan man förstå de andra" (de/dem blir svårt ibland, kolla den här artikeln)

  • About the bear...
  • Please don't do that. All humans are products of a bygone area. We have imperfect minds and bodies that evolved to solve problems that aren't really relevant anymore. But hopefully you can find some kind of peace inside that existence. You don't have to be defined by other people's prejudice toward you.

    Have you tried therapy? I had to try multiple therapists before finding someone that worked for me, but I'm so happy I went through the process.

    Grandaddy - Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) (2000)

    vimeo.com Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)

    Hey, here’s more about me: http://stewartsmith.io And more about this video: http://stewd.io/work/jed You can download my source code: http://stewd.io/jed And…

    Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)

    > Jeddy-3, a humanoid robot built from spare parts, is a recurring character on Grandaddy‘s record The Sophtware Slump. The affection of Jed’s creators for their brainchild wanes as their shifting attention migrates to new inventions. In a state of despair the gloomy Jed drinks himself into a permanent shutdown. According to Grandaddy, before Jed’s system crashed he would write poems. Poems for no one. This song, Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground), is one of those poems–serving as an elegy for the emotionally neglected and now departed Jeddy-3.

    > This music video was created by programming simple text animations on a vintage 1979 Apple ][+ computer; a computer so old that it is only equipped with 48K of RAM (far less than your mobile phone), contains no hard drive or mouse, and only types in majuscules. Music by Grandaddy. Video concept and execution by Stewart Smith. Cinematography by Jeff Bernier. The “prepared Apple computer” used to make the video was included in the Art Directors Club 2009 Young Guns exhibition with the Jed software running on loop from the original floppy disk.

    > Following the video’s release Stewdio posted the source code for download making this the first open-source music video. Enthusiasts have experimented with the code on Apple II emulators and it has even inspired a fan-made video for the post-punk anthem Up the Down Escalator by The Chameleons. In May of 2010 Panic Inc. loaded the source code via an iPad onto their vintage Apple //e to create their own video.
