[REVOSA] Shuttered into Cryo-Stasis

I knew someday this day would come. When my ambitions of starting a store out of desperation, in need of an income of sorts, of any, would eventually come to an end. Sometimes it’s a molehill, and sometimes it’s a mountain. It’s not really a secret that I’ve been struggling...

VR Chat: Second Life For People Who Have a Meta Quest

Lately, or, for the past few days, I’ve been messing around in VR Chat, the virtual world that aims to be Second Life, but with a strict, “Keep the NSFW stuff in private” sort of … uh, place. You’ll find out why that is pretty much as soon as you...

Github Explodes

Today, for … uhm, whatever reason? Github went plop. It fell down. It shat itself. Its servers went down completely and totally. And I didn’t even really notice until hours, and hours after they’d already started investigating. And then … it came back! But this sort of thing has me...

Twitter is Viable, and Bicycles Are Boats

I was talking to someone on Threads, whose name I won’t mention, because I do think she actually believes Twitter is still the only real place to be. But it brought up some thoughts, and interesting points. There are some people who refuse to abandon Twitter. Sex workers, parts of...

[REVOSA] moved, Patreon & Apple, & Other Updates

Now playing : Eclipse - Perturbator Struggling on a lot of days lately to think of both something I want to write, and also want to write, and keep. I haven’t really been slacking, just … brain-jumbled for ideas. I also want to make more little short videos for my...

Neo Machina & Other Changes in Second Life

Ever since I started a store in Second Life, I’ve always wanted to own my own full sim. There were reasons that wasn’t possible in the past, and reasons that became possible in the now, or, at least, around the beginning of 2023. It was quite the chunk of money...

The AI Bubble is About to Pop, But the Delusions Continue

I’ve already written on here, quite extensively about “AI”, and how harmful it is. But, sometimes you come across something so egregious, so disgusting, so malignant that you just have to record it. Record it so, a year from now, we can all look back on how hilariously bad this...

Warframe, Revisited: Again

A while back, I posted about The First Descendant and how, despite feeling clunky, and not really having satisfying gun play, it at least seemed to have the ability to satisfy more than Warframe. I may have been wrong about that. I may have sold Warframe a little short in...

Criticism Doesn't Exist if You Don't Look At It

Over the past year, since I’ve started writing much more heavily online, and established a website (despite said website changing at least five times), I’ve written about quite a few controversies. Like how Microsoft is developing AI-fueled spyware, Reddit is copy/pasting Musk’s behavior in their structural decision making, Bluesky is...

Game Informer Found Dead, Gamestop Top Suspect

Just yesterday, news swept through social media, “Gamestop has murdered Game Informer by blunt-force trauma to the head. The magazine’s body was found abandoned at the side of the highway, bloodied, and dismembered.” So maybe that’s overreacting, or maybe it’s not that far off from the truth. At least, not...
