KAPOW!!!!!

From Henk Van Rensbergen's book Abandoned Places

There's a poll going around asking the question, "Do you prefer writing on paper or a device, and if so, which device?"

The best device I ever had for writing was a PDA equipped with an input system called Quikwriting.

If you're not old enough to remember the days before smartphones, back then mobile phones only did the basic phone stuff like calling and text messages, and if you wanted to do other things, playing games and reading ebooks and writing and getting travel directions and so on, you had to carry around a second device to do those on. This device was called a personal digital assistant, or PDA.

And nobody had yet invented a tiny little keyboard that worked well for a majority of people, so there were a variety of other input systems available. Most PDAs came with a stylus that you could use to draw on the screen, so some input systems used that. Some claimed to let you write on the screen in your normal handwriting and it would be converted to text (and they even got it right most of the time); some got you to write in their own adapted alphabet where each letter form was simplified and made more distinct from other similar letters. And some abandoned the alphabet entirely.

My favourite of the input methods I tried was Quikwriting, in which you wrote by making little loops with the stylus in the corner of the screen. Each loop began and ended within a central zone, and the size and direction of the loop indicated the character. If the stylus had left a trail while you were writing, it might have looked something like this:

...except that the words would all be written on top of each other without lifting the stylus. (And of course you'd write the loop that meant a space between each word, and the loop that meant a full stop at the end.) It took a while to memorise what the motion for each character was, but once you had it down you could write whole words, sentences, paragraphs in one long swoop.

It's the only input system I've ever used where I could write long passages as fast as I thought them, without having to keep an eye on the text to make sure that what I'd written was what I meant to write. And maybe, who knows, the fact that the physical motion resembled just doodling in a margin was also part of the appeal.

These days I have an Android smartphone with a tiny little keyboard that's okay for writing short messages and only occasionally tries to change what I've written into what it thinks I meant, but I don't use it to write anything of any significant length. As far as I know, nobody's ever made a proper implementation of Quikwriting for Android, and I suspect it wouldn't be the same using a finger instead of a stylus.

But maybe I'll go and look again, just in case...

After poking around a bit, I found a project on Github for "Quikdroid", an Android implementation of Quikwriting. It's been inactive for years, and the download link went to a site that no longer exists, but the site is preserved on the Internet Archive so the installation file can still be downloaded from there, and it can still be intalled, albeit only by clicking past multiple warnings about it being designed for an obsolete generation of Android. The UI is kind of ugly - the project clearly never got far enough to worry about visual polish - but it works pretty well. There are some bugs; the lower left segment is weirdly finicky, and the Shift key equivalent occasionally gets stuck on for no apparent reason; not huge things, but enough to break the flow when they happen. I don't know if this is going to become an input method I use regularly, but it was fun trying it out again.

(This update was written entirely using Quikdroid.)

It's apparently an anime-influenced action film based in the Jim Crow south, with vampires fighting the KKK or something.

Vampires ripping the throats out of racists is 100% my idea of the actual best kind of content so I shall be watching this for sure :D

Watched Trials and Tribbleations today and… can I just say the comedic genius of having Sisko search through the grain storage for the explosive Tribble and just throw the safe ones down the open hatch which is then perfectly cut to show that same tribble falling down on Kirk?! Unparalleled! Haven’t laughed this hard watching Star Trek since I watched the og episode.

And after they dispose of the explosive tribble and the danger is past, Jadzia casually tosses away the tribble she's holding which lands on Kirk.

Never has a time travel episode been done this well.

Okay listen the meme is funny but I love the painting so much I was desperate to know who made it. I dug around a bit and I can now gladly tell you this painting is by Russian artist Konstantin Korobov, and is entitled "Agnus"!

You can buy a print of this painting from him here.

I'm honestly kind of obsessed with his art now actually. Here's some more:

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

But like, since the player is not of the Minecraft world, the player is just what the use to explore it, what if it’s like:

Enderman: *looks at player’s eyes*

Player: 01010010 01100001 00100000 01110010 01100001 00100000 01010010 01100001 01110011 01110000 01110101 01110100 01101001 01101110 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01010010 01110101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101110 00100000 01110001 01110101 01100101 01100101 01101110 00100000 01101111 01101000 00100000 01100110 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01100001 01101110 00100000 01100101 01101110 01100100 01100101 01110010 01101101 01100001 01101110

Enderman: oh ok *attacks player*

This kills me every single fucking time

I don’t even play Minecraft but this is hilarious 

This problem is nothing new, but this specific example with these numbers puts it into a fucking brutal perspective.

To put these numbers a different way: A Taco Bell burrito that used to cost ~7 minutes and 20 seconds of minimum wage work now costs ~30 minutes and 30 seconds of minimum wage work.

You used to be able to work at Taco Bell anywhere in the country and make enough money in one hour to buy at least 8 burritos (maybe 9 if you're a manager or something) and feed, like, 3-4 people a decently-filling meal. But now, the same amount of work at the same job will get you one meal for one person. And this change has happened over a mere 15 years.

Remember this whenever you see rich people demonize younger generations for our financial situations, when they call us irresponsible for not investing a ton of money in savings accounts.

we were playing around with the rumored cost of GTA 6 in a discord server eariler, and while 150USD translates to 228.55AUD, if you convert this to cost in minimum wage, its less than 10 hours (or one shift) at minimum wage in Australia and more than 20 hours (or two shifts) in the US, despite being less individual dollars in the US. And its not like the Australian minimum wage hasn't been stagnating either, which puts into perspective just how shockingly low the US minimum wage is for an otherwise extremely wealthy country.

thinking abt how fucked up steam engine boiler explosions can look. theyre just pipes under there

gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles

I didn’t know a train could be an eldritch horror, but here we are.

people who only use conventional social media are so funny bc they’ll casually be like “can I see your tumblr??” are you Insane. this is no instagram or twitter. this is my vault of secrets

"Oh can I see what stuff you see on Tumblr?"

"Are you more of a family or career oriented person?" Babygirl im a bed oriented person. Snork mimimi
