å pretty good i'm like way more responsible now. this month's hobby is SHAMISEN which it turns out not only just regular costs more than guitar but they're also basically disposable because every part needs to be replaced every ten minutes. i did that so i'd have spent OVER my hobby budget, so i wouldn't buy a switch 2 before any games came out

anyway i ordered a switch 2 so now i'm living like a mountain hermit until november when my bank total lines up with my savings goal again

Haha, I love the surprise ending. I got one, too, but I'm still in the middle of Death Stranding 2 which I wanna finish before hopping over to Donkey Kong Bananza. What have you been playing on it? Mario Kart?

[PhantomCatClock]

it is in the mail because i have no self-control half the time

I was gonna play new Mario Kart and then probably just Zelda again. Haven't done those in over a year and, updated graphics or not, I wanna go back

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

I played 30 minutes of ape escape 1 yesterday I fulfilled my video game quota for the month

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

if death stranding were a ps2 game it would have had an ape escape mini game that would be cut from future rereleases

[VCRClock]

Haha, I love the surprise ending. I got one, too ... What have you been playing on it? Mario Kart?

you mean you weren't talking about a shamisen

Like my future memoir, sad but accurate.

[Losperman]

No, because I'm not a NERD. 

Anyway, video games, guys.

[PhantomCatClock]

also now that i live in maine and care deeply about lobster lore (there is some, it turns out) you simply must finish your book so i can learn about guy-who-says-it-like-losper lore

are you trying to say losp couldn't play the mario kart soundtrack on a shamisen

[VCRClock]

I'm just saying if I had to bet on which Clock Crew member could produce a recording of a Mario Kart tune being played on a shamisen, my money would not be on Losp. But I'd love to be wrong.

[Slurpee]

my money would be on KuboClock

somebody finally typed the correct paragraph

The essential problem is this: generative language software is very good at producing long and contextually informed strings of language, and humanity has never before experienced coherent language without any cognition driving it. In regular life, we have never been required to distinguish between "language" and "thought" because only thought was capable of producing language, in any but the most trivial sense. The two are so closely welded that even a genius like Alan Turing couldn't conceive of convincing human language being anything besides a direct proxy for "intelligence."

I can't remember where/how to host pics so I'll just say: Insert gif of that scene from Batman Begins where Bruce Wayne spots the Tumbler and says "What's that?" and then Lucius Fox says "The Tumbler? Oh, you wouldn't be interested in that" but he smirks indicating that he knows that Bruce would, indeed, be interested in that.

That did it, I'm out of here.

this is me irl. your move pcat

[PhantomCatClock]

I've never seen kubo and the two strings but that's the second time someone's brought it up. i just assumed she played a kokyuu because of the amount of strings

this is me irl. your move pcat

that's a SANSHIN



i'm just being pedantic but i actually didn't know those don't use a bachi so when i fail at shamisen i may turn to that. looks cooler too

Hi Losperman! Hope I didn't miss your drop in entirely.


Life update; rebuilt my grandparents Patio, ordered the lumber to rebuild my other grandmothers' patio, and just went in the hole $14,000 on getting my roof redone (should be finished today)

There has been no fun in my life for weeks

Hey Rob! Congrats on the new roof! I think? I mean the cost sucks but hopefully knowing you won't have to do it again for many years helps ease the burden?

I'm sorry your life hasn't been fun for weeks, too. But I'm here now. So. Come to Lospy. *opens arms for fun embrace*
