Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

" Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one" LOL No That's still complete crap. I will not be a "jack of all trades". I will be a master of MANY skills and pursuits. My SELECTED BAND of topics.  Why do people think this is not possible? "Oh, the old polymaths had servants to do their chores!"  Yeah okay so  I'll doordash and eat EASY meals otherwise.  I'll clean while listening to audiobooks (improving writing skill) I'll ditch random social obligations that aren't with close friends and have a low likelihood of romantic ROI.  I'll push most leisurely fun stuff to Saturday late morning.  I will sleep 7 hours instead of 8 some nights.  I will order my groceries in advance and pick up in store so I don't have to pay delivery fees. Or waste time wandering the aisles. BO-RING.  ???????? That's it.  I do not try to quit anything. I doomscroll. I've never quit social media. I like my "sp...

Whoever wrote this is my G. From Dinopit. 

I was so tired of feeling sick on road trips.  I don't get motion sick. I do have mild IBS (I Be Suffering) but I don't get motion sick on its own.  Headaches though? Yep, a problem. And as anyone who has lived with me or ridden roller coasters with me knows,  I'm always peeing because I'm always hydrated.  So I decided to make like a HAES influencer and intuitively eat after breakfast.  Read: EAT WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT AAAAA WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE EATING, GOSH! It seems to have worked. 2 hours remaining and I'm not sick.  FOOD BEFORE GoMacro bar (peanut butter chocolate)  Men's multivitamin gummies (up&up) Protein shake: orgain, collagen peptides, silk soymilk PB&J Crystal light energy x3: 180mg caffeine  FOOD DURING Propel Energy drink Bacon breakfast burrito (Cafe Feellove) Reese's Big Cup with Reese's pieces x2 Muscle Milk Plant Protein: Caramel Vanilla Pizza Hut: Personal Pan Pepperoni with Parm and Red Pepper Fatburger Vanilla Vega...

One of the objectives of this current slew of self-study is to basically "redo college", not from a social perspective as much as an academic perspective (since the former is less important / is more difficult to re-create).  I'm trying to learn everything the RIGHT way, in a more correct order.  Right now I'm in the pre-college phase, meaning the stuff I wish I had come into the CS Animation premajor already knowing, in order to hit the ground running better. The real application of this is filling in any knowledge gaps that I have.  But I can't progress on basic coding, and you know why? because I need to finish my dad's site.  Yep. I told him I'd redo it and it has taken years. I am forcing myself to get it done. obviously I love web programming but turns out it's not as fun when you're dealing with a family member who just needs it done ASAP.  my personal coding block should be for ME, but I legitimately do not have any more room for additional...

I've delved back into personality theory fake-science and finally figured out my whole enneagram trifix. I may or may not have involved Claude AI in this discussion because the internet wasn't helping. Yep. I knew my core type as 4w5 instantly. But the rest? It took me years. I initially tested with a 7w6 -head fix (yep...LOL), and thought for years that maybe it was accurate because 1) I can be silly?  2) I have a LOT of pursuits compared to the average person 3) I am vaguely introverted-7ish at amusement parks if I am with an energetic group. I get along decently well with 7s overall.  4) I have generalized anxiety disorder (w6...????) But no. That's SUPER counterintuitive for me. It was obvious all along. A 5-head fix can still have an anxiety disorder, and a 5-head fix can still be somewhat polymathic, especially in the 541 tritype. I am constantly screaming MASTERY. This is competency.  My love for theme parks and roller coasters is from the SX seeking intensity. The...

wanted a code review app as a daily warmup before diving deeper into my code blocks and honestly, it went from extremely easy to so difficult that it was taking 40 minutes. This is a warmup, ffs. A way to enforce the 2 minute rule. I cannot have that bloating my whole code block. bye bye streak :/  Also their iphone app just randomly stopped working and it can only be done on ipad and they haven't fixed it, so what's the point? Going to try Encode, or whatever else I can find, until I get an app that actually stays as a warmup and doesn't start throwing volleys of CSS crap at me without explaining it properly. 

Sent out to their email list, it seems. NGL, this should be fun, but I think it won't be as impressive as it sounds, and here's why.  Yes, VR is awesome. I have a MetaQuest. I play on it regularly. I won't dispute that. And waterproof VR? Excellent! It should be FUN, yes.  BUT they aren't building a new slide -- they're just putting it on Mudslide Gorge.  This is arguably the second most popular slide in the entire park, directly after Vortex.  So what is that going to do to the already-long lines? Bloat them? Artificially slow loading? (Yes. yes it will.)  Also, there is already a TON of congestion in the steps leading up to Mudslide and the Storm Slides. There is also a super sketchy part of the stairs there that's rotting so badly that I expect someone to fall through at some point.  Who builds a slide tower out of WOOD? WHAT?  And it's an extra fee, but you don't HAVE to pay it, because you can just go on it normally without a headset.  This w...

It's just drill rap. He's calling out his block AND a police code. And it's CATCHY af.  The meaning can be discerned by less than 5 minutes of googling. Know Your Meme + Genius. Then listen to the song. It's so good that you will ALSO be yelling out 67 randomly.  It's not meaningless It's not modern nihilism  It's not absurdism  It's not modern/2020s dadaism (sheesh, reddit) You have made Duchamp very unhappy by your misunderstanding of what Dada even is.  I'm sorry but anyone who pontificates about this as some sort of broader nihilism trend among youth is being intentionally obtuse.  And with that, these mortal affairs tire me. I must tend to my ravens. 

Oh, Standard Time. Don't we LOVE the 4:30 PM sunsets. My favorite. Now we must fix our manual clocks again.  Taken (and reworded/reformatted) from this . None of my previous writeups were actually correct. THIS ONE works.  Setting timezone: Enter alarm time preview, by pressing "Mode". Press "Adjust" to change time zone. Setting time: When looking at the time, press and hold "Alarm on/off" Until time blinks. Press "Adjust" to change time; Press "Alarm on/off" to change to minutes, etc. Press "Mode" when done. You know what I actually  love? Tech support. Aw yeah.  🤓

Everything that I do combines in some way to fit these goals.  Goal 1: Published Author = Reading and Writing. Bonus of Art and Code because then I can code my own website and illustrate my own covers.  Goal 2: Independent Art Studio / Hirable by CGI Shops  = Digital Art, Computer Graphics Programming, Video Game Development, Gaming, VR, VFX, Simulation, Music Practice, Music Composition, Lucid Dreaming Goal 3: Theme Park Engineering and Design = Math, Physics, Control Systems/PLCs, Embedded Systems, Systems Programming, Operating Systems/RTOS, EE, ME, VR, Physics Simulation, Cybersecurity (especially ICS Security), visiting theme parks/water parks/carnivals/zoos, theme park blogging, theme park news, theme park engineering and design I am strongly considering becoming a Simulation Engineer or Control Systems Engineer  Goal 4: Hybrid Athletics = Running, Lifting, Walking, and Prehab. Swimming and hikes.  Goal 5: Highly Skilled Computer Scientist and IT Pro ...

Note that I didn't say AI users. I use AI as a speedup tool when coding, and I have it explain concepts to me.  What I don't have respect for is actual vibe coders -- people who don't give a crap about actually learning or understand what the code is doing. If you're not reviewing the code, if you don't care about what's happening under the hood, no respect.  If you do care, if you use AI as a tool and not as a way to avoid having to actually think, you're not vibe coding. Full stop. No issues with that. 

I normally like airports and planes.  But after being stranded overnight in Vegas due to excessive SBA fog last Thanksgiving Eve, and having to sleep on a bench for 2 hours almost giving footsies to random strangers, after crashing at Ruby's Diner before getting kicked out, miss me with that crap.  Ruby's is still really good but I'll pass. :P White Monster from LAS, chugged on the plane, got me through the holiday last year, and then I crashed.  At this point I'll take my chances with the I-15. Dust devils, Pizza Hut, and aliens.  🌪️🍕👽🛸👾🛸👽🏜️🌵

Here's what I want to do in terms of gaming before the end of the year:  Finish Dream Logic. This will involve mapping out the final level based on tutorials and on what I see from my playthroughs (i.e. lots of pausing) because otherwise I'm ngmi Finish Portal 1, the original, by end of November. This may be difficult with going home for Thanksgiving, though.  Finish Donut County on my new iPad Pro 11.  Finish Pokemon Violet main story in December, since it's portable.   In addition: Play Genshin daily, completing at least 1 task, as well as my normal mobile game rotation I need a schedule for my VN playthroughs, as well as idle games like Placid Plastic Ducks. Since these are more chill, might do them last thing.  Game Development:  If I want to get serious about this, I need to work on it daily, even if it's just for 5 minutes to start. So that is the first goal.  Game development after I do my coding and graphics core block. Games as the finale...

I really hated the kid in the original though. Like, really hated him lol. I was so glad when they shot him, which is NOT something that would go over well in ordinary conversation. 😛 The animation quality is way up, even if my phone screenshots don't show it well. The pilot's animation was good overall but felt choppy and somewhat stilted. No issues with that here.  Also, the newly revamped version of the IMP theme song is fantastic. A lot better (and heavier!) than the original, which was just a commercial jingle.  Shots:

Considering removing it from my fb until they fix their crap. I ran a 3:08 marathon a month ago and despite repeated requests they still haven't put it up. They claim it's in the queue and I doubt it.  But there's no alternatives. There is no other site that aggregates your race results in one place.
