Enjoying a curious combination of math, discourse and gaming.

it's official: I'm great

[Flo @Fylos]

My nephew just told me he'll be a dad (congrats to them both!) \o/ -- but it just dawned on my that I will be a great-uncle and my sister will be a grandmother and that feels WEIRD

[Flo @Fylos]

man, it's really sad when people you looked up to (and for the most part, still do), start to show their mean-spirited character flaws. Makes you feel stupid for wanting to emulate them in the past.

@VictorTaelin "help, I am a baby messy codebase and Linux Torvalds is approaching to refactor me, what is going to happen?"

[Flo @Fylos]

phew, I know I might get too easily socially exhausted, but the last few weeks were so full of old friends & family visiting, weddings, birthdays and other stuff that I just want to cheer and celebrate the 2,5 weeks of nothing my calendar is promising me

[Flo @Fylos]

@ioulali you just lack a suitable villain that can be swiftly dispatched via IMPULSE CONTROL BEAM

Na verdade a fanbase de Final Fantasy não está pronta pra essa conversa

[Flo @Fylos]

every time I appear on TV (as audience, in the background), I let a sigh of relief afterwards that I did not accidentally make a publicly broadcasted fool of myself (as far as I know!)

Still, it's fascinating that these bubbles seem so stable. It really is like we live in parallel worlds and experiencing very different things. I wonder how long this will last -- will there be a big clash or will differences om opinion just fizzle out?

[Flo @Fylos]

I feel I am frequently immersed in several different "bubbles" regarding AI: strong anti-AI stance ("don't consume AI products"), strong pro-AI stance ("use it for everything you can") and more ("AI is too useful, will become too strong and dominate humanity")

[Flo @Fylos]

Since friends, colleagues and family (and other people I look up to) are very maxed among them, there can be a lot of whiplash, especially since it's a topic that can be very emotional to some. It's understandable -- it changed and will change lots of things.

@ioulali if you hallucinate hard enough, you might hear the psychiatrist's voice and can just tell him even faster

[Flo @Fylos]

thing is, my new pair is *too* great and I am having a real first-world-problems situation -- what do you mean people can't hear me coming up from behind anymore because my steps are actually being cushioned now?

[Flo @Fylos]

My old running shoes were already rendered fashionably useless after a paintball match 3 years ago, but recently they finally accumulated enough damage to being functionally useless as well.

[Flo @Fylos]

I know I have great colleagues because I admitted to both not liking Star Wars and falling asleep during Lord of the Rings and I am still very much alive!
However, they did convince me to go watch Spaceballs.

@EyeWizardDark @VVEEDVVIZARD24 Will boss attack twice or just do double damage?
Will boss better evade your attacks or just have double the health pool?

[Flo @Fylos]

@ioulali you don't happen to have a relative that looks like this?

[Flo @Fylos]

@ioulali having a rigid part in the lots-of-movement-cables hurts even just reading it

[Flo @Fylos]

On the other hand, duck detective was a nice, short and sweet game to spend an evening on. Just not something to really sink your teeth in.

[Flo @Fylos]

I'm craving for a big extensive game to obsessively sink hundreds of hours into and nothing scratches the right itch

[Flo @Fylos]

I really liked danganronpa so I had the hundred line on my wishlist for a while, but something about it really keeps me away. Maybe I'm getting tired of the tropes, or it's the humongous size of all the paths
