completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

So here's an game I found. It's text based, with audio. It's not for me; you need to know stuff about franchise's and division's and moves and belts and things. But if you're a person who enjoys wrestling, this might be for you:
Step into the ring and take control! Welcome to GRUNT - The Wrestling Game, the ultimate text-based wrestling simulation where you are the booker, the promoter, and the wrestling god of your very own universe!
Tired of wrestling games that limit your imagination? GRUNT WRESTLING hands you the keys to the entire promotion. From creating a rookie in a local gym to running a multi-division global powerhouse, every choice is yours. Witness epic five-star matches, shocking betrayals, and the crowning of new legends—all brought to life through a detailed, moment-to-moment simulation engine.
This isn't just a game; it's a sandbox for your wrestling stories. Build your dream roster, book the matches, and watch the chaos unfold!

For those of you who use the addon, I pushed fixes to it for the latest version of NVDA. I also filed an issue documenting the current state of the addon, and why it's going to continue to suck well into the future, unless we can find a developer who's comfortable with and other audio techniques, or get Python bindings to steamaudio or something similar and modern. github.com/masonasons/Unspoken/issues/16

AI, sex, racism, scat The worst thing about mass adoption of is that it gives us even more insight into people’s perversion than ever before. For example, the AI role play website character.ai has 11 different bots, all by different users, described as Japanese girls who “love pooping. It’s the first time I can say i hope AI is taking someone’s job. No shaming, but if you’re a Japanese looking girl, surely you can find more fulfilling sex work than doing poop role play for horny American men who probably can’t even tell that your Thai or Vietnamese or from New Jersey or something.

@blindndangerous It’s way better than poetry. Especially for projects that require specific python versions.

The problem with being a data hoarder: sometimes you're searching for something completely innocent (a receipt in this case, to see if a warranty is still good), and you search all of your files by mistake. Then everyone on the screen share sees that the top result is "wylie, kevan r. - the potential benefit of vacuum devices augmenting psychosexual therapy -txt.rar". And then you just have to pretend not to hear the questions and move quickly on.

To whoever has the IP 126.0.0.1: oops, sorry about that! Somebody seems to have it. They must just get endless traffic from idiot people's idiot scripts with idiot typos.

"Most people who speak English today don't actually speak English! They speak Indian or Chinaman!" -- part of an impassioned great replacement adjacent rant from an Uber driver who himself had an extremely thick accent.

Yeah, I guess that covers it: English, pretend English, Indian, and Chinaman. The four world languages. How do you even make fun of these people when the stuff they say just makes fun of itself?

Remember, folks: you need to treat like a user when dealing with its output. That means sanitize it, escape it, and so-on. Anyway, apparently a tool I'm using will just render AI generated HTML, and now I have an entire hallucinated user interface reconstructed from the screenshot I was asking about, rather than an answer to the question I was asking. I especially appreciate the unchecked checkbox it labeled "checked checkbox". What new kind of dark pattern is "checked checkbox unchecked"?

transphobia @sclower It's possible it's the same fic and I missed his post. It's been updating pretty frequently of late.

@evilcookies98 Yeah, but it's interesting to actually hear clips of the various themes as well as the original song on piano side by side.

@evilcookies98 I assume you've heard this podcast episode? Super interesting if you haven't! www.20k.org/episodes/jeopardy
THE MUSIC OF JEOPARDY! FROM A LULLABY TO $100,000,000: "It’s the most recognizable TV theme in America. But Jeopardy’s “Think Music” wasn’t originally written for a game show… It was written for a toddler. In this episode, we trace the unlikely journey of the Jeopardy theme, from Merv Griffin’s living room to over 10,000 episodes across six decades. Along the way, we explore the show’s sonic evolution, including honking buzzers, 80s synths, and orchestral remixes. Featuring Lisa Broffman, Jeopardy’s Consulting Co-Executive Producer."

transphobia This is good, though it's still only 8 chapters and 60k words: "Timothy Lamont Cranston, a Bank of America employee, is at Universal Studios Resorts and Parks in Florida. A Potterhead, he buys & drinks one of the Felix Felicis good-luck vials. Passing through Knockturn Alley in Harry Potter World, he trips and falls — and finds himself somewhere that looks much more real than the Harry Potter Resort Park — then he sees Hagrid with Harry Potter!" www.fanfiction.net/s/14471651/1/Who-s-on-First
