an AAAAA game can't just be "game we put a lot of money into", that's not enough to kick it into the next bracket. the development needs to be on the level of medieval cathedrals: spanning multiple generations and involving hundreds of accidental deaths

Okay, so: there's a local restaurant whose online ordering process involves various selecting various sauces to be included with one's order – so many units of teriyaki sauce, so many units of hot sauce, so may units of peanut sauce, and so forth.

The idea is supposed to be that you can select any combination of sauces you want, as long as it adds up to no more than four units. However, what the app actually required is that you select exactly four units of sauces; it wouldn't let you submit the ordering form if the total wasn't exactly four.

Just today I discovered that they seem to have fixed it... not by correcting the errant validation rule, but by adding a "no sauce" option, which counts toward the required total of four.

Thus, it's now possible to place an order with, say, two units of teriyaki sauce rather than four by entering 2x "teriyaki sauce" and 2x "no sauce". Similarly, an order with no sauce at all is 4x "no sauce".

This is quite possibly the least intuitive ordering process I've ever encountered, and I've literally worked in e-commerce.

the problem with gamification is that websites never implement it right. absolutely nobody wants a trophy for making 1000 posts. instead when one of your posts gets a lot of notes you should earn a rare collectible item you can trade with other users. and when someone's post is really obnoxious you should get to call in a boss raid and if enough people join in and deplete the post's health bar then it should get permanently wiped from the servers

I've got hiccups which is incredibly annoying but it does mean that every 4 seconds or so I'm reminded to think about fish evolution which is pretty cool.

You can also find me on @/madomagitransparent, @/dr-transparents (mod Firanka) and Unsplash (all of my photos posted there are uploaded on the Unsplash license, so feel free to use them).

The list of requests I have received/completed can be found here.

In case of requests with commonly problematic ships, I’ll give the benefit of doubt as long as I’m either not uncomfortable with it myself or if it’s not specifically stated to be romantic (so for example, a request for IroYachi or Tsukuyo x Tsukasa may pass, but Riko x Yachiyo or Ui & Iroha (romantically) won’t). Ship naming vs platonic relationship naming varies across cultures or even fandoms, so this thing may be kinda confusing to people.

If you know my blog from July 2020, you might recognize some changes in my posting style (if I ever got around to post, lol). I’ve decided to separate the asks and requests when posting, and to include the image sources with the ask rather than the request. So yeah.
