    i tend to present myself like some sort of stoic and reserved person, yet that's not really who i am all the time
    sometimes i'm a much less "professional" and a much more unserious person
    i kind of jump around these different sides of myself depending on particular contexts, but sometimes i just kind of switch up based on whatever my mood is at the moment
    idk it's like some yu-gi-oh type stuff where i'm one person but i'm also multiple people or something like that
    i don't actually know that much about yu-gi-oh, i just watch the show because it's on tubi and it's kinda cool i guess
    there's probably analogies more fitting to what i'm familiar with that i could've used like bruce wayne/batman or the different doctor who incarnations, but idk yu-gi-oh works too i think
    i could probably also say something like anakin skywalker/darth vader or chancellor palpatine/darth sidious, but i mean that would probably not put me in the best light would it?
    not to say i don't have darker aspects of myself but you know what i mean
    idk this is just another ramble about stuff i guess

    People talk trash about the fifth Star Trek movie, The Final Frontier, and there are many things to criticize about it, but honestly I think a lot of what it says about God and spirituality is quite profound.

    There are many people who essentially exploit God as a means to an ends, often one that is selfish. Part of the inspiration behind the film was the rise of televangelists, many of whom could be seen as using God as part of their business model, promising God (or rather their version of God) as a magic wand that could take away all our faults instantaneously. William Shatner, being a man of Jewish heritage, set out to criticize this practice, saying that much of who we are is built upon our pain, our suffering, and that we can't simply wish that all away. Assuming there is a God or at least someone or something adjacent to a God, the created universe is not created the way it is so that we can receive everything from our armchair. Life is about exploration, trial and error, knowing our limits, learning from other people. God isn't so much "out there" as He (or perhaps a She or even a They, as a truly infinite being is beyond gender by any of our definitions, but for now I'll go off the traditional texts and use what appear to be His primary preferred pronouns) is "in here, the human heart". Of course, assuming there is a God who fits particular descriptions, then He is technically both "out there" and "in here", as He is omnipresent, in everything and everyone. We are finite, and our understanding of things will always be finite, but if we listen, if we explore, we learn that much more about each other, ourselves, the truth. That is the way of life.

    Yeah uh I've been getting kind of weird and existential lately (maybe because the world sucks and everyone kinda hates each other or something) so that's why the pseudo-intellectual rambles and stuff. Some of this is probably better suited to an external blog site or something. Am I making sense? Am I full of s**t (for the sake of politeness I will have that censored, though I'm inclined to think we shouldn't attach superstitious value to mere words)? Am I kind of both? You can tell me. Or not. Up to you. I have no desire to control your decisions.

    I think one of the most humble things you can do is admit you could be wrong
    Not that you shouldn't try to stand by what you believe in, but that we are all fallible and ultimately have a very limited perception of truth
    It is not possible for anyone to know the full truth, as we don't even know all that much about each other at the end of the day
    We don't always even know ourselves
    Some people talk about reason and faith (which includes not only the religious or spiritual kind but also the broader universal sense) as if they are opposed, but really I think one can't exist without the other
    We can't accept things blindly based on nothing but "just trust me bro", so we must reason, but we also need faith in some basic principles of reality in order to reason, else we're stuck endlessly questioning everything and mining ourselves into some sort of existential crisis
    Without reason, there is no faith, but without faith, there is no reason
    These things need to exist in a balance of sorts
    What we put our faith in, and by what principles we reason, is up to us
    You should stand by what you believe, whatever it is, yet you should also be open to evolution of beliefs based on new experiences and information, as refusing to do so is a sign of arrogance
    Humility comes from finding proper balance

    viewflation is some bullcrap man like wdym i gotta look in advanced mode to know what my "real" views are? (i don't even know if i always trust the "engaged" views to be the "real" views since sometimes it shows results that are pretty clearly wrong according to other factors. doesn't help that the current youtube studio is a buggy ai-coded mess.)

    that said, as far as i'm concerned, view systems were kind of flawed even before this since they were still susceptible to stuff like viewbotting and all that. we bank a lot on views and yet in the end is any of it even "real"?

    youtube decided to pointlessly change studio again for some reason and it's really throwing me off
    like come on why did you have to do this?
    just to give someone something to do?
    probably not that actually considering these changes are probably the result of even more "vibe coding"
    seems like just about everyday they wake up and choose violence against their own userbase

    For me on YouTube, they keep changing how the website looks and it throws me off every single time :\

    After a random surge in motivation, Jelly the Not-Fish 1.4 (and then 1.4.1 to fix a minor bug) has been released TODAY across TIC-80, Newgrounds, and Codeberg!

    In this update, I've added a new character, Shelly (the Not-Fish), who for the time being is more or less a player skin, but in future updates may have unique mechanics. In addition, I've also added a shield powerup which allows the player to survive the impact of one bomb. The ability for shields to spawn, as well as the character you play as, can be toggled in the options menu.

    If you decide to try it out, feedback for what I can improve in future versions is appreciated (but not mandatory)!

    2 days ago, the first of the exclusive second monthly Patreon posts for the $5/month tier came out (that was a lot of words.) Check it out below (requires $5/month tier to access):
    https://www.patreon.com/guywithabluejacket/posts/twice-stuff-166757139
    From this month onwards, anyone who joins the new $5/month tier will have access to not only the monthly posts that the $3/month tier gets, but also their own exclusive second monthly posts with even more of the benefits the first ones provide. Additional benefits may be added to the new tier later on if I feel like there should be more.

    I'll also promote my voice acting Fiverr gig again because a little more exposure is always helpful I suppose:
    https://www.fiverr.com/tobias_keevers/voice-act-for-your-project-american-or-british-accent

    That's all for now. Have a good rest of your day.

    that really expensive power cable getting rerouted into a bronze age burial site all because the harry potter fandom wanted it to avoid the "grave" of someone who doesn't exist is proof that we should quit burying our dead and just eat them instead

    3 days ago, the monthly Patreon post dropped, so here it is ($3/month tier or higher to access):
    https://www.patreon.com/guywithabluejacket/posts/stuffus-augustus-166054849
    In addition, a new $5/month tier has been introduced, which gives anyone who joins an exclusive second monthly post with more of the benefits the other one gives. The first of the $5/month posts will probably be posted sometime around August 16th. On other notes, my birthday is on the 21st, so expect a freebie post around that time.

    Also going to promote my voice acting Fiverr gig again because why not:
    https://www.fiverr.com/tobias_keevers/voice-act-for-your-project-american-or-british-accent
    I've kind of been reminded that I should probably release more of my own productions involving voice acting, not merely to prop up this gig but because voice acting is fun and I'd like to do more of it. I've kind of already released a few things involving that in recent months, and I hope to continue doing so.

    That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and have a good rest of your day.

    i consider minecraft my favorite game but for some reason i can't bring myself to get into over half of whatever the minecraft community is doing
    like no i didn't watch the new season of whateversmp and i don't know if i care enough to
    heck i didn't even watch the first season
    also what the heck is a "verity" and what do you mean that's what the yellow smiley face is associated with now?
    i still associate the yellow smiley face with those weird glaggleland memes from about five years ago
    one of the only modern minecraft series i actually keep up with is a regect and that's because i think it's funny
    also because retrogamingnow introduced me to it and i love that guy's videos
    most other things are just like, you know, they're there, and maybe they're better than i think because i haven't actually interacted with them properly, but i just can't motivate myself to look into them

    and before anyone says i'm a "boomer" or whatever, i should say for the record i didn't necessarily watch a lot of older minecraft youtube either because (lore drop) i didn't exactly grow up watching a lot of youtube (well not independently anyway)
    the main og minecraft youtube thing i watched when i was a kid was element animation (an egg's guide to minecraft and villager news)
    and then some others but either a) no one else knows their name or b) i don't even remember their name
    TheNewTK421 • 2026-08-04 10:08:29
    on a bit of a sidenote i semi-recently decided to watch through the og entity 303 video series and it's really funny how much of a product of its time (and how corny) it is
    like they unironically put "bring me to life" by evanescence ("wake me up inside") into one of the videos
    that's hilarious

    really exhausting when a video gets taken down because some ai dmca program thinks royalty-free music isn't royalty-free, so you have to directly message the support team and say "yeah actually it is royalty-free" so the video can go back up.
    kind of didn't think i'd run into this issue with dailymotion of all places. like, my introductory video with a kevin macleod song from 2009 is bad because a random ai says so but those pirated star trek and doctor who episodes are fine?
    oh yeah i have a dailymotion btw. i'm mainly gonna use it as a secondary video backup/archive of sorts (primary archive is on the internet archive of course), though tbh this whole experience has kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. if more things like this end up happening down the line i might have to jump ship to another platform for secondary archival.
