So it turns out that the gods do walk among us. They have extraordinary powers, even if they don't always realise it.

Take Wendy, for instance. All she has to do is look at a computer and it fails. I hear the military is trying to recruit her.

Then there's Gary. Everyone feels 10 times more intelligent in his presence. Makes him a great salesperson as clients always reckon they've outsmarted him in the deal.

Bernie has the power of sleep. 5 minutes of him and you're out cold.

@SinclairSpeccy I think you're right to be concerned and saddened I've thought the same way for a while now.

Another problem is resources getting trapped in Reddit, which has a search exclusivity deal with Google now. And a further problem is LLMs masquerading as legitimate information.

An interesting thing though: GameFAQs still exists! It's a centralized content depot, it's true, but it hasn't enshittified itself to my knowledge, yet.

I feel… weird. I look at communities I used to be at and they feel so… dead. So dead after redirecting their activity exclusively to Discord and get rid of forums. I never used to think much of it back in the day when I was younger but it seems as I got older, a part of me started to prefer forums as far as I know, they can usually be indexed by search engines, therefore easily found. Discord servers can’t do that.

Maybe I’m overthinking it too much. I don’t know. Maybe a part of me longs for stuff people can easily access without being locked behind a wall. I guess a discord server I run is like that too but I wished for people to make their own sites so their stuff wasn’t simply trapped in my server… so I tried to put resources I found on my website
