I just bought the book off Nostarchpress last month
I have a head canon now about your username origin that you, at least once in your life, had to face a horribly distempered ceiling fan, but just don’t remember it because of the capitation.
I read your comment before I could open the link, and now that I’d read a little past the chat-format part into chapter two, this spawn definitely smells of AI spunk. My nagging feeling reading it was - Iiiii’m pretty sure this author’s never tried to teach before.
First giveaway for me was the sudden change in artstyles for the “projected slides”. Also, for the first cat pic, why tf is there a bending-protected cord dangling from a wall switch? Tf?
So many adjectives used too, I bet, to give that futuristic feel, but overused, unnecessary. What the fuck is clear carbon fiber? No really, is that even real? And why do you need to describe people’s desks or seats that way, when it would’ve been more effective to make a picture of the classroom than to detract from the learning material with a mystery virus that took out the professor just to needlessly bring in a sub? Was there going to be some plot twist? Is there a story?
And who tf thought that starting with binary was a great idea to introduce kids to computers/programming? Who tf thinks they’d convince someone who knows nothing about computers that binary is cool or even immediately useful?
I scrolled further and saw Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker. End rant, or else AI will give me cancer.
Scam author is trying to scam people with AI generated book.
I bought a brother printer model J1010DW because it’s brother, right? Also it was the cheapest brother printer in stock locally around the time I was sick & tired of detouring to the print shop.
The color cartridges still have tons of ink swashing in them, but the printer won’t even print in b&w because it detects the other cartridges as empty. So I try the tape-over-the-ink-window method, and my printer says, HMM, I GUESS THERE’S INK NOW, BUT THESE MUST NOT BE BROTHER PRINTER CARTRIDGES, HURR DURR, and makes itself an overweight scanner.
I see it as a stand-in for the inflection people sometimes make irl when seeking affirmation for what they’re saying. Imo, it’s not bad as a way to add tone or subtext (“I get this might be an unpopular opinion; what do you think?”), but it is not grammatically correct in a professional email
If I could carry around a Limmings History Buff Fellowship member card with qr code links to sites like these, it’d be just handy dandy for the torturing-friends-and-family part.
Ah, yes, when a man takes inspiration from insect-collecting in his childhood, he becomes the world’s first child psychologist in directing and developing video games

Edit to clarify: you kept making downvoted assumptions in this thread about an existing source on Pokemon creators having targeted the young boys audience. It’s only natural to think you could be misremembering all the articles that came out about Satoshi Tajiri’s inspiration for the OG games coming from bug collecting as a young boy.
Thank you for the archive .org one. I hadn’t seen a direct response to the old reddit post, and the archive .org post really broke it down for me
This is the post that convinced me way back when. It’s been a while; I couldn’t find yet if the egs software has changed since. https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/wakewr/epic_games_spyware_vs_steam_vs_as_comparision_ea/
I’m kinda glad you mentioned it - https://discord.com/invite/the-arcade-147086422006824962 I’d say the community is pretty thriving for its size.
Grey Havens keeps the servers running while there are still people supporting the game.
Wait, I need an animated diagram
I feel like every time I tell someone I know that I use linux mint, I’m coming across like I’m saying “I use Arch by the way” *eyebrow wiggle*
Good idea. 1.2x speed is how I save time on videos I expect to be long
