1 year of akkoma: a second retrospective
I said i'd come back to this in a few months, and so i have. it has now been just over 1 year since i properly started releasing akkoma - the first release was 2022-07, so 2023-07 is as good a time as any.

6 months of akkoma: a retrospective
So, it's been about 6 months since akkoma went stable for the first time. well ok, a bit less, this week marks the 4th anniversary since I started my instance (and probably like the 6th since I started using fedi). so it's basically the 4th anniversary of what would become akkoma. that's as good a point to do this as any.
Akkoma: A vision to refocus Pleroma
I figure I should probably put developments of the past two weeks or so into a more formal format - I tend to be rather too keen on the "doing" but lax on the telling, so let's fix that shall we? This post will attempt to lay out why this "Akkoma" has become a thing, what it intends to do, and why you should care.

So I, being very cool and also the best, have fixed this. For adequately low values of…
The disconnect between The Outer Wilds’ mechanics and its story
I finished the outer wilds earlier today, and... I'll admit, it didn't have too much of an impact on me. I sorta want to write about it in the hopes of figuring out why.
Thoughts on Disco Elysium

But the thing is, I don't even know if I... you know, "enjoyed" it or what. So in some sort of weird attempt to figure things out I'm going to let myself type and see what happens. I will likely spoil any and all…

Tenki no Ko (Weathering with you) 2020 Subtitles
I spent the last week subtitling the newest Makoto Shinkai film because I like it and I wanted something to do. Also because the official subs are awful.
