Formulas for optical adjustments

A long-standing trope of the design world is that computers are bad at aligning and balancing the relative scales of elements. This is incorrect.

Finally finished God of War Ragnarok yesterday. I really enjoyed it! It has an incredible narrative that is somewhat hampered by its level design and gameplay, which are fine but not revelatory. I feel like it could have been 5-10 hours shorter, but man that story. Just great stuff from start to end.
I will always love Fortnite because it allows me to do dumb shit like making Geralt do TikTok dances. https://youtu.be/pSChOt8Jom8

Finding out about 9 hours late that Twitter was broken today. lmao. Did they forget to pay the bill for their API access
@emorydunn Oooooooh love this idea
A fun novelty that I wish existed: a VR application for browsing your digitized media library that replicated a video rental store. Get things separated out into genre sections, browse through and pick up a tape with all the metadata attached to it and use it to pick what you’re going to watch. That’d be so fun to play around with.

This feels like the year where I take how I engage with the internet into my own hands (as much as I reasonably can, anyway).

Companies have proven time and again that they can’t be trusted to maintain a proper level of interest in their users needs, so instead of continuing to just let that happen with stuff I use every day, I’m moving to self-hosted, open-source alternatives wherever possible.

My delve into getting Home Assistant running on my NAS to switch from Alexa to HomeKit has lead me into a deep hole of getting alternatives to services I use running locally on my own hardware.

So far I have the aforementioned HA and Plex (which is what I got the NAS for in the first place), and now FreshRSS is up and running. Next is a read-it-later service, and then who knows? I have a bunch of indie comics downloaded from Comixology, maybe I’ll set up Komga and get them all organized.

@jwisser You’re definitely not the only one. Google already has massive problems with misinformation as it is. I can’t imagine how bad it’s going to get with further AI integration and algorithmic processing. Their search results are going to go right down the shitter.
@Joekw If you go back for Birgir after you get Freyr’s boat, it opens up in Northern Vanaheim.
