I think I may have walked five miles today in while playing Pokémon Go, and my legs are not going to be happy about it tomorrow.

I am trying desperately not to care about the shameless money-grab that is special backgrounds, but alas, it's not working very well.

Anyway, Happy Pokémon Day/Weekend/What-have-you, the trailer for Pokémon Winds and Waves also got to me more than I wanted it to, Nintendo clearly has my number on speed-dial.

Ack! Ack! Ack!

It's been ten days since I updated here?!?! Aaaaaaack!

Er. Well. Nothing significant to report, really. Oh, aside from giving a signal boost to this post on [site community profile] dw_dev, about Dreamwidth's stance on "AI"/Machine Learning/what-have-you. There's even more detail in this thread on [site community profile] dw_dev on the post just before it, both of which really shed light on some of the actual good uses of Applied Statistics Machines.

Anyway, as a result of Dreamwidth's public stance that they won't accept any AI generated art for anything site supported (styles, mood themes, etc), I went ahead and made a statement of my own on [community profile] moodthemeinayear. Shortest version: AI generated mood themes will not be eligible for the Dreamwidth points giveaway.

Time for bed readiness now, I think!

Magical Girl thoughts

The problem I have with a lot of original English language magical girl series, I think, is that they tend to start with the main character joining an established group rather than a new group forming around the main character. I have no idea why this bothers me, it just does! Which sucks, because there's some original English language magical girl stories out there that I'd really like to get into, but just end up bouncing off of. I may just need to do some expectations management, but in the mean time, it's still annoying.

HumbleBundle has brought Discworld back for another run; right now, you can get 39 Discord books for as little as $16 USD.

(How do I not have a Discworld icon yet, I should change that.)
