list** from my **fedi profile**: + + free sw, read/writing, philosophy, gaming, music, CUTENESS, learning japanese! + +> and so far i've talked a little about *free software* and *reading*. + +*which of course brings us to*: + +## 02.1 writing + +writing is something i've always enjoyed doing. i have a plethora of stories, +poems, songs, and other complete and incomplete works i've written dating back +decades in physical and digital storage. unfortunately most of it is, at this +time, missing. there is a good chance much is gone forever. i'm not too +concerned about that, though, to be honest because most of what i've written is +garbage and saved in the first place because **(a)** i'm a hoarder and **(b)** +i like to see the progress in quality i've made over my life. + +that i enjoy writing is evidenced in the existence of this blog itself. it is +also a goal of mine to one day publish a novel. there's a possibility of me +posting past works on this blog, or even current ones, some time in the future. +time will tell. + +## 03 philosophy + +i have spent countless hours in the study of philosophy, both of my own design +and that of others'. i've already written a little about my philosophical +beliefs and stances in previous posts—like the one titled +[i know nothing; i see nothing; i hear nothing](/posts/2019-06-18-i-know-nothing-i-see-nothing-i-hear-nothing.html). +in that post i attempt to describe what could be considered one of (if not +*the definitive*) core philosophical belief of mine. + +i will explore this topic in more depth at a later time. 多分。 + +## 04 gaming + +there are, of course, many types of games and therefore many types of gaming. +the gaming i am referring to in my little blurb is inclusive of many types of +gaming. i like **board games**, **card games**, **mind games**, **tabletop/pen +and paper role-playing games**, ***(mostly retro)*** **console gaming**, +**collectible/trading card games**, and ***(mostly retro)*** **computer +gaming**, to name some broadly-defined types of gaming i like. + +i love playing (and am terrible at) **chess**. also fun to play and a lot newer +(and another i lack a great deal of skill in) is `nintendo`'s **super smash +bros.** franchise which i've been playing since the original for the +***nintendo 64***. another `nintendo` gem is the **animal crossing** franchise, +of which i've played/owned the *original*, the *3ds version*, and for the first +several months it was available i played *animal crossing: pocket camp* on +android. + +i own but don't really play anymore a `new nintendo 3ds xl`. when i was +spending a lot of my time playing on it, however, the three games that stand +out as being the games i spent the most time playing were: + +- animal crossing: new leaf +- fire emblem fates/if: all three routes +- dragon quest ix: sentinels of the starry skies (a ds game i played iirc mostly on my 3ds) + - i would have won this one except i lost tons of hours of progress because i didn't save frequently enough and the system died or something. i was so smegging close to winning and my progress was set back so far i kind of lost heart. ;; + +historically, my favourite video game of all time has been **megaman +x**/**rockman x** for the `super famicom`/`snes` (although this is most likely +no longer the case. my current favourite video game of all time is unknown). +there was a time i could sit down and play through **megaman x** using 100% +original `nintendo` hardware in a single sitting. i can no longer do this, but +it's possible i will be able to again if i try (i still own the cartridge, +console, and controller—all of which are known to be in working order). + +i am going to end this blog entry here, but i'm not done talking about gaming. +in ***part 3*** i will talk more about: *90s dos games* including **god of +thunder**, *ttrpgs*, the *mobile gacha game* i played for a few years (read: +was hopelessly addicted to for a few years), *pokemon rom hacks*, and `more`. + +***as always: stay tasty o/*** diff --git a/_input/posts/2019-08-29-akira-and-the-slow-decline-of-lego.markdown

+![](/images/akira-corrupt-politicians-and-capitalists.png) + +## lego, why did you do it? + +i am and always have been a pretty huge lego fan. however, **lego used to be +better**. and by this i mean the sets lego made were more fun to put together +(and gave you better pieces to work with later), the series/themes used to be +more creative, and everything used to be more universal/uniform. there used to +be raised base plates that came with the big sets that were just fun af to +build on. minifigs didn't all have unique faces and body parts. and don't get +me started on when they began making film-based legos with that pseudo-skin +colour. + +this is an example of one of those base plates you can't find anymore: + +![](/images/lego-baseplate-raised.png) + +### pop quiz! + +**how many current and recent lego themes can you name?** + +were most of them based on films? were they? i mean, you have collector sets, +generic bricks sold in tubs severely lacking in brick shapes if you want to +build something other than maybe multi-coloured enclosures or whatever, city of +course (unless it's called something else now), the friends (?) sets (you know, +the ones marketed to girls with the scary looking minifigs), ninjago, probably +a medieval themed one, and about 10 or so different series that exist solely as +cross-marketing tools between mainly film/tv franchises [`star wars`, `disney +princesses`, `marvel this`, `dc that`, `harry potter`, you get the idea] and legos. + +what i see as the beginning of lego's downfall from its glory days can be +clearly identified, and was very memorable. it was the disaster known as **jack +stone**. i remember seeing `jack stone` legos on the shelf for the first time +and wondering how an idea so off-putting made it into production. *and +apologies to anyone who was fond of `jack stone` or "flesh-coloured" minifigs +(which i'm getting to)*. + +jack stone legos started in 2001. + +> also in 2001: + +lego alpha team is introduced. i remember thinking how cool it was that the +alpha team lego minifigs were all unique (by which i mean that `alpha team` +legos seemed to be an actual `team` of the same unique minifigs, which was cool +and new). i did not expect them to make it the normal thing to do for all lego +sets, and that the days of generic and easily swappable minifig designs would +actually end. at least i can say i much prefer the `alpha team` approach over +the `jack stone` approach to making minifigs worse. + +![how is this appealing in *any* way?](/images/lego-js013.png "jack stone") + +and speaking of making minifigs worse, the "skin-coloured minifigures" began +just a couple years later, in 2003. 2004 is when a lot of the colour-swapping +happened, making life as a lego collector just that much harder (although +compared to the minifig changes, colour-swapping bricks and tiles is nothing). + +### did you know? + +lego's ceo up until 2004 had always been a member of the family. looking at +wikipedia's `lego timeline`, it shows that someone by the name of **jorgen vig +knurdstrom** became the first non-family ceo of lego in 2004. what year does it +say **knurdstrom** started at the company? 2001. apparently stepped down in +2017 iirc. i've only been looking at references for parts of the time i've +spent writing this, and i'm basically just monologuing (as advertised) in a +random rant so forgive me if any of my facts are off. in any case i couldn't +decide whether to make a joke by implying that lego not going in the direction +i would have wanted was some sort of conspiracy and knurdstrom's fault or say +that i feel bad for the guy having to be in charge while the company went +downhill ^^' so take your pick. + +also sorry i lied about these being "brief". i
