re: fallout 76
this memo came across my desk, and i am posting it verbatim:

See, this is what people don’t understand: Bethesda doesn’t simply create video games, they build interactive, social, multimedia experiences about video games. The bugs, the bags, the pii leaks, the internet rage; those are all just expertly engineered elements of a meta game that simulates the experience of trying to play a game called Fallout 76. This particular metagame is actually quite multilayered and mirrors the player experience of the purported Fallout 76 game: you become a meta vault dweller in a meta vault! It’s a daring and profound commentary on the nature of video games, entertainment, and the human condition.

Of course, true gamers know that the real fun isn’t in the meta game, but in the meta meta game, that is: in watching people online work through the Fallout 76 meta game. There are even betting parlors for this type of thing on the dark web, provided you know where to look

Ricedoutyugo along with its subsidiaries wholeheartedly asks you how the fuck you're going to pay your bill that you have not requested so insoforth you have not received. Your bill will be transferred to ricedoutyugo collections agency yesterday. If you have requested your bill and so far as such paid your bill you can still pay it again and we will take your money even as so far in such we have never sent you a bill but are stating in this post you owe us money, we're pretty sure, and must request a bill whether you paid it or or even have a bill, call us if you want but we won't know anything and just keep sending you letters stating you have a bill that you probably paid but we still want you to know you have a bill but we don't know where it is or how to get it to you that's not our department here's a cute onesie though.

some guy's livestream be like
set it to a color and set it to a color and set it to black so you know what's going on with the spots. that doesn't really look like underwater, does it? so the sky's scatter medium, i'll jack the thickness all the way up. i believe it's black, but you can go in and load your own black just in case... now, the scale, depends on the scene, and your scene's scale. now we're just going to go into... sorry, got lost... we're going to.. go.. into.. ok... we change the scale of the scene, and it kind of changes the scale of the fog, and i'm looking for a place when the fog just makes things kind of disappear. i'm going to go back to my bro-graph spotlight... you're gonna go to da power... and i'm really gonna crank that sucka up. we should be able to see this in realtime

Ya I forgot this year but yea we cool. Ya mate I drink only fair trade coffee. But the problem lies in the atmosphere, an oak tree fighting a dolphin can't really work in real life. It's all about the particular atmosphere and turns into a "what will die first" type of sitch. Ya mate I do drink fair trade, fresh ground coffee. Plus an oak tree can't really "move" per se, or in a "fighting" sense, to say the least; so maybe the dolphin would "win" in a "hits" sitch. But ya mate, I really drink only fair trade organic fresh ground coffee. So, I don't know, personally, I don't think a dolphin would fight an oak tree in any type of sitch, regardless of atmosphere, compensation or aggravation, ya dig? Oh and ya mate, I only drink fair trade, fresh ground organic black coffee.

graceful engineering under pressure
i have to attach a levitating walrus to an unsuspecting elevator in under 37 minutes, or my career in reality television is over -- like, finished. the frantic hours in which i furiously weld a walrus waveguide are mercilessly videotaped. a genuine hush overtakes the crew as i gently cart my walrus into the arc matrix... a bead of sweat crests my brow, and it is captured in 8k resolution. the walrus, thankfully, levitates, and the elevator rises gently out of its moorings. i have succeeded. i crack i a smile. now it is only a question of whether my walrus elevator will make the final cut

you're a rare noodle
so there's this korg wavestation ex sitting on the table and i have hedfones and a fone and it's like: maybe i could play the korg wavestation ex, listen to the fones on the phones output, use some connector bodge for the 1/L 2/R outputs to output to my fone's input (its hedfone jack).

we've been here before; my brain goes to work. the optimum arrangement would be a male 3.5mm jack with a 6-foot cable to a pair of split RCA outs, color-coded for left and right (ideally with gold-plated connectors [radio shack, we miss ya]). From there, a pair of (ideally gold-plated) RCA to 1/4" adapters.

My process is one of feeling a solution out from a matrix of data culled from years of previous trauma: A cable that breaks out to 3.5mm jacks will have questionable stereo-ocity. 3.5mm to 1/4" jacks further complicate stereo-ocity. they wedge out forever, putting more torque on the synth's connectors. grounding issues can emerge out of the woodwork. it is chaos. anarchy

no, the RCA to 1/4" are shorter, unarguably grounded, and any cable going 3.5mm to 1/4" is reliably color-coded, not anarchy, etc.

perhaps this could be an app. you input your synthesis cabling dilemma, and the app spouts out a few solutions that are projected to be most optimal.

wait... it would be MUCH better if you had the user input a list of what cables and adapters they had on-hand... so you could then compute optimal solutions based on what the user actually had on-hand (like, when i was really broke, once, i found this site. you would type in a list of the groceries you had, and it would split out a list of possible recipes [and that's how i learned to cook without eggs]) and then have referral links to a corporate sponsor (ideally radio shack). since you know what people have, and what they want to do, you are in a superb position to know exactly what to sell them.

...but, how would you get people to sit there and inventory their cables? i suppose the best psychological approach would be to break it down into a series of friendly questions like: "let's talk about plug adapters! gather all the plug adapters you aren't using, and take a photo." licensed google AI then takes over, inventory-ing the dongles, their quantity, type, gold-plated status, etc... 'thanks, super! next, find your unused cables with 1/4" plugs' and use that to unfold a flowchart of increasingly targeted AI questions.

shit, i think i'm just going to play the korg wavestation ex. and i'm not even gonna rekord git

computer graphics style: reanimation jutsu
...effervescent trount fanned and fawned on the intercostal plane of summoning billy mays. with the power of oxy-clean! come forth and crush thine enemies! or maybe just chill, you know, and cause some massive destruction. cool? ok.

so then billy mays climbs out of a gravity portal and performs the sacred jutsu of hucksterism and totally wrecks the band of cybernetic gangsters that just busted in off the screamcast and -- no? ok.

...well, okay, there's this american band trying to sound like a japanese band trying to sound like a 60's english pink floyd band and they're on their way to japan when the plane flies into a spacetime-continuum vortex. it's this freaky dark void with teeth and eyes. cool? ok.

so then a space billy mays climbs out of an intercostal space portal, ten times taller than the plane, and performs the sacred hucksterism of jutsu, sucking the cybernetic gangsters back over from the previous plotline. the cybernetic gangsters hurtle into the vortex mouths (which totally explains how the cybernetic gangsters got wrecked), and -- no? ok

so a supergenius has created a computer simulation of a computer simulation of reality. the simulation of the simulation of reality becomes more than just a simulation of a simulation -- it becomes a simulation. but, then, get this, right -- the simulation starts to become more than a simulation. it starts to become reality.

so then a cybernetic hacking gangster tumbles out of a simulation portal and his cyber avatar is billy mays. he performs the sacred jutsu of hucksterism and summons a...

huh?

dead? what do you mean, dead?

i don't care! i need him to star in my film. cast him by any means necessary. any. means necessary. and that means necessary

what? shit, yeah, alright. let's just do it with computer graphics

everyone has a weakness
titanium lou was unamused. adamantium gary needed the stuff by thoisday, and bakelite ted was sitting on the crapper again.

"look," i belted out, losing patience -- "align the server with the setting sun, but offset fifteen degrees west. then patch apache"

titanium lou cut me off. "whoa, buddy! i told ya's, we don't run apache, we run drupal."

titanium lou never did have a particularly firm grasp of full-stack web development
