  • I did a project for school a few months ago about how Netflix should branch into online/cloud gaming and how good of a business move it would be.

    I wanted to pick something lazy and absurd that clearly wouldn’t be effective, so that I could make up stats combining two industries my professor was woefully uneducated in.

    Imagine marketing this so poorly that the one person doing academic research on the topic is doing it as a complete joke and isn’t even aware that you actually offer that service. Rofl. Glad this article didn’t come out while that class was still ongoing.



  • Stop feeding the trolls.

    You really refer to your stepson as your wife’s son in casual conversation? That’s highly unusual. You can’t respond to a text conversation over the internet because you’re going to go do something for an hour or two? This is dishonest as fuck, the guy is clearly mentally handicapped based on the post history and you’re baiting him, be it consciously or unconsiously, so that you can farm fake internet updoot points.

    Stop filling the fediverse with your reddit tier personal drama. No one gives a fuck that a moron is capable of typing a post on internet. You’re acting a clown responding to it genuinely, and validating it with this blog post. This is how these people find the motivation to band together and make their little incel cults.












  • It doesn’t matter what you think about AI. It’s very clear that this technology is here to stay and will only improve. From this point on AI will become deeply integrated into human culture and technology, after all we’ve been fetishizing it for almost 100 years now. Your only logical option as a developer is to learn how to use it and abuse it. Choosing not to do so is career suicide, possibly even societal suicide depending on how quickly adoption happens.

    You’re probably right, in the near future people that can’t use it will be fired. To that point they should be fired. Why the fuck would I allow my accounts to do their financal work on paper when Excel exists?

    Welcome to the future.



  • Warlock is required to cast their spells at the highest level. Since this is a warlock patron it probably shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose which level of spell it can cast. Consider also converting the warlock spell slots it gives into bonus HP to fit the flavor, but probably at a less than 1:1 ratio for what it costs to cast that same spell since they have innate HP and healing.

    As you’ve suspected, this is gamebreakingly powerful and absurdly difficult to balance. Every build in the game would benefit from having this ability and would be made stronger by multiclassing into it. Every other warlock would be pointless because choosing another one would lock you out of this patron. Any multiclass caster is an infinite spell slot source by itself.

    You could try to balance it by making it once per day, but why? That’s too fair and not the original intent of design, just accept the imbalance it creates and make it fun to use.
