> recap: i've been going over **this 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`. | |||

title: "akira and the slow decline of lego" | |||
published: 2019-08-29 | |||
--- | |||
isn't the title of this post just so… ambiguous and misleading? that is to say, | |||
titling something **akira and the slow decline of lego** definitely gives the | |||
implication that i'll be talking about some sort of causation (or at the very | |||
least correlation) between what appear to be apparently unrelated topics. | |||
***spoiler alert***: even if i *was* writing about some correlation between | |||
`lego` and `akira`, i have little doubt that it would be any more than hindsight | |||
bias and imagined significance coupled with taking events that had a global | |||
effect and using those to link the two together. people do this sort of thing | |||
all the smegging time and sometimes it can sound pretty convincing. | |||
but no; i'm just going to briefly touch on those two things separately from | |||
each other but in the same blog entry. | |||
## akira | |||
![](/images/akira-title.png) | |||
i don't think i've mentioned `akira` yet, and i only have this year to say what | |||
i currently want to say about it. | |||
![no, not this. everybody knows this already](/images/akira-freedom-of-the-press-is-now-in-jeopardy.png) | |||
the thing about `akira` is: | |||
![first of all, doesn't this look lovely and peaceful? a few seconds later a big boom decimates tokyo](/images/akira-1988-7-16.png) | |||
![31 years after the (beginning of, end of, or really short) third world war](/images/akira-ad-2019.png) | |||
> that's the image i wanted. `akira` is a masterpiece and a hugely influential | |||
> and significant film (especially in the world of anime), and *it takes place | |||
> this year*! so if you haven't seen `akira` yet, this year is a great year to | |||
> finally watch it! and if you *have* seen it before, just rewatch it, ok? no | |||
> big deal. in fact, make an event out of it. turn off any unnecessary lights, | |||
> crank up the volume, and fill your belly with whatever gets you pumped | |||
> (popcorn or pizza for food is pretty standard, and to drink i'd say either | |||
> beer or coke because they sound like pretty standard choices as well). | |||
also the guy shown in this final screenshot says a weird mix of things i agree | |||
and disagree with, and it's hard to know how much of his ideology i actually | |||
agree with, but this line is gold: | |||
![](/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 wrote that thinking it would be. | |||
until next time, | |||

i needed to write a blog post. or i suppose i ought to say i wanted to write a | |||
blog post. there are some blog posts in the works (meaning absolutely no work | |||
has been done on them but i know what i will be writing them on) but i can't | |||
really write them yet. the posts will be about anime i'm watching and haven't | |||
finished yet (along with some i have finished but haven't decided what to say | |||
about them yet). | |||
## am i making this blog an anime reviewing blog? | |||
no. that'd be silly for me to do. my knowledge of anime isn't that extensive | |||
and my knowledge of what goes into the creating of anime is even less so. and i | |||
don't see any benefit of limiting the scope of my blog when i'm already only posting | |||
less than once a week. | |||

> *well, i will eventually finish getting through the rest of the "more about | |||

**seven anime i plan on rambling about at some point sooner than later:** | |||
- **aku no hana** | |||
- *urara meirochou* | |||
- **flip flappers** | |||
- *sounan desu ka* | |||

title: "you chose poorly [mobile phone rant]" | |||
published: 2019-09-19 | |||
--- | |||
in case it wasn't clear, the title of this post is supposed to be a parody of | |||
the `indiana jones` film (`the last crusade`?) with the **holy grail** scene. | |||
you know, the *grail knight* or whatever he's called tells them to identify and | |||
drink from the "true" grail, which was hidden among dozens of false ones. | |||
"**choose, but choose wisely**" he says, or something similar. then the | |||
nazi-supporter drinks from the fancy-looking cup and then rapidly ages to | |||
death. this is when *grail knight* says the infamous line: **he chose… poorly** | |||
> let's get the obvious stuff out of the way first | |||
if you own a mobile phone, especially a "smartphone", your phone does not exist | |||
for your convenience. you are not the customer. as with many online "services", | |||
you are the product. and you get to pay for it, too! most likely every month! | |||
> oh and also i want to point out that when i use the word "you" in this rant, | |||
> most of the time i probably don't literally mean *you*. and in any case, i'm | |||
> bitching about phones, not people. and my real rant hasn't started yet. | |||
so, putting aside how much money we shell out to monopolies so they can better | |||
spy on us and turn the people into sheeple so when things take turns for the | |||
worse we can either decide not to care, be completely ignorant that problems | |||
exist that are as bad as they are, or have no clue how to go about trying to | |||
undo the mistakes we've made because we ***chose fucking poorly*** and we | |||
*keep* choosing poorly because everything is built to be a trap. | |||
i'm being ambiguous because there are too many examples i want to name of | |||
stupid things that we, collectively, have allowed to happen or been unable to | |||
stop from happening. | |||
## oh for the love of moe | |||
i started writing this hours ago. | |||
[time passes] | |||
[…] | |||

[more time passes] | |||
[it is now 24 september 2019] | |||
[guess i should finish by saying what i wanted to say in the first place] | |||
## they aren't phones anymore | |||
here's my problem. for years now, the biggest thing mobile "phone" makers | |||
(read: samsung and apple) make different and better in newer models is the | |||
camera. yes; i'm saying when you buy a new samsung galaxy or apple iphone you | |||
are buying a modded out digital camera with malware (including a smegton of | |||
spyware) and an antenna so the built-in malware i mentioned can listen | |||
in on your conversations you have when you call someone else's camera. | |||
do you remember when not all mobile phones were camera phones? i do. i remember | |||
when they didn't even have colour screens. i miss playing `snake`. that was a | |||
good fucking game. i remember when camera phones were only .3 megapixels and | |||
that was fine with people. it used to be smegging fun af to follow all the new | |||
upcoming phones that were coming out. there was so much variety and innovations | |||
happening left and right. i could never decide on what phone i wanted most in | |||
those days, because there were so many good and unique options. | |||
> so what mobile phone do i want now that phones suck? | |||
i'm too poor to dream about getting the librem 5 when it comes out so i've | |||
decided i'll likely be buying the much cheaper pinephone instead, whenever *it* | |||
comes out. both phones better deliver what they're saying they will, mind you. | |||
if they don't end up being as advertised i'll be more disappointed than when i | |||
saw `indiana jones and the crystal skull` or whatever that garbage film was | |||
called. | |||
i've said my piece, left out a lot of stuff, didn't really proofread properly | |||
(or at all), didn't make sure it flowed naturally, and am way overdue for a | |||
post. sounds like i'm ready to upload this to the wired. | |||
