[Slur mention.] I don't know what language shenanigans discord was up to, but I was telling my brother about the Terraria update and discord wanted me to correct "Bigger" to a slightly different, more slur-y word.

I like playing Rivals 2, but then I start losing and suddenly I feel like a fish aimlessly flopping on land trying to get back to water.

Rivals 2 put me in platinum rank because I got a lucky win streak and now I'm scared to touch ranked mode because I'm going to get blasted with people much better than me. I had just picked up the game again after not touching it for a few months, I'm not qualified for this.

I really need to try different art styles and workflows and such. Currently I feel like I'm taking way too long to do anything.

My mom will _not_ be happy until I install a fucking volcano in my room. I cannot get her to understand that I already have enough stuff to keep warm. She keeps bringing it up and I have to reject her like 10 times in a row just for her to back off and try again later.

I bet Steam game sales are really cool when you have money to spare.

[food] I think I put the sandwich in the microwave for too long because the cheese started exploding.

Unfortunately, one thing Pokemon and Digimon have in common is that I'm fucking soft resetting the game eight hundred times for some rare thing again. Seeing how optimally I can mash past the title screen and load my save gets really boring really quickly.

Discord lagging and trembling and asking me to buy nitro over the sheer power of an unsent message that's reaching the 2000 character limit.

Trying to type up worldbuilding notes and wow I'm slow at it. I'm not someone who thinks writing is easy, but I'm still slower than I want to be. I'm just trying to write a timeline with the important stuff and it's almost been 2 hours.

Site looks different, I refresh page some 10-30 minutes later, site looks old again. Now there is no way to prove I wasn't imagining things.

I thought I'd be unfazed with evolution conditions after Pokemon had you hold the system upside down, but Digimon has a "beat the other game in this collection" condition, so there's still unexplored ideas out there.

I want to mess with game making again. Main problem is that I can't think of a game idea that's worth playing. That and I have next to zero sound and music knowledge.

Oh yeah, I've been here about a year now. Sorry about that. :neofox_melt_3:

A problem with drawing is that I have to figure out how to draw the thing correctly and I'm not ready for that responsibility.

I remember when my mind decided "you like bugs now" because only a few hours later I suddenly got dragged to family movie night (we don't even do family move night) where the movie was basically "giant bugs are bad" movie. I didn't even know about the movie beforehand; I just randomly started […]

One of the main things keeping me from making a less shitty email is that the free alternatives I can find delete your account after a period of inactivity, and I don't trust myself to log on often enough to keep that from happening. I don't really use email for things other than making an […]

Nice to see that people still think Rivals of Aether workshop is just overpowered meme character spam. :neofox_flop:

Oh right, I hate drawing lineart.

I finally played a Digimon game after letting the one I have collect dust in my Steam library for 3-ish years. ... Can you tell I don't have much to talk about?

I remember a class where they briefly covered advertising, and the example ad they had was an ad for Mac computers where they had the Mac user in a fancy suit and the Windows user was a filthy slob. They (the image/teacher, idk) said the ad works because Windows users would see it and be like "I […]

I hate it when a game tracks win rate or whatever because it reminds me how much I suck at something I thought I was good at.

Rivals 2 workshop entered beta a lot sooner than I thought it would. Now I need to learn 3d stuff. :neofox_flop: I made a model before, so at least I have a tiny bit of experience.

I feel like a fraud. I don't know as much about bunnies as my sona choice would suggest; most of my knowledge comes from skimming Wikipedia while looking for art references.

Now that Minecraft is giving bunnies a new model, can they please be given a purpose other than getting killed? You can't even really have them as a pet at the moment.

I just wanted to draw a doodle to warm back up and now it's day 2 and I'm not even done with the sketch. :neofox_upside_down:

Why do I look at steam discussions when they're filled with obnoxious people? There is no punishment for making ragebait every few days because no one can tell the difference between a genuine complaint and a post designed solely to get people angry.

I don't know if it's gotten harder for me to try and talk to people, or if me just attempting more often regularly reminds me how much I suck at it.

I really need to learn to draw faster, my time to output quality ratio is lacking a lot. It makes it hard to start drawing when I know it's a really big time investment to make something that I might not even like afterwards.

:neofox_sip:

TV commercials here are starting to use those captions that pop in one word at a time. My favorite is the one that makes the words different colors that sometimes makes them outright unreadable. :neofox_flop:

I should make an account on an art sharing site or something. Goes back to that "I want a different email with a less dumb name" problem, though.

"I should be more openly furry to see if that fits me or not" ...I think to myself knowing that I'm just going to continue lurking and not interact with anyone or post anything.

Steam not letting you hide your own game start popups from your friends feels weird. Gotta mark yourself offline entirely if you don't want your friends to suffer the consequences of your random troubleshooting adventures.

Windows does this annoying thing where sometimes the taskbar icons act like my mouse is still hovered over them when it's not, and I don't know what causes it in the first place. It's such a minor thing but it annoys me and the only way I know to stop it is to use task manager to restart file […]

Pokemon, shit-ton of money company, earns most of it through merchandise, plushies are always out of stock. Even if I had the money, I will never get to have a Slither Wing plush.

Calling online game cheaters "hackers" gives a false impression of their computer skills. They almost certainly just looked up "how to hack your Wii" and found an infinite Blue Shell cheat code that someone else made.

I need to get a different email. Only really because I hate the name of my current one and I'd rather not have it associated with any accounts I make.

Stayed up late New Years Eve. ... I'm not the party type, I just played Webfishing with my brother and stayed up later than I meant to.

I should use an inconsistent mixture of American spelling and British spelling so I can piss everyone off.

Rivals of Aether workshop addons are generally called "mods" by the community, and I have to make an effort to refer to them as "addons" here. I usually just call them "mods" even though I know they're technically addons and I already feel tech ignorant enough when the average person here made a […]

[eye contact] Least flashy Discord Nitro button.

I use this box as a spellchecker at times.

[AI, I cuss here] I keep hearing that one fuckass ai coke commercial from the other room.

It's a sneezing day.

Pikachu's fingers are so small that they might as well be purely aesthetic. Pikachu's ability to grab and hold things can be more easily explained by their psychic abilities that only become strong enough to be noticeable after evolving into Alolan Raichu. In this video essay I will-

Pokemon plushies make me happy. That's it, that's the post.

[food] Frozen food. Looks at instructions. No microwave, oven and air fryer only.

Whenever I see Pokemon power-scaling discussions they seem boring because people almost always try to apply the main series battle mechanics down to the letter. That just feels like the least interesting way to do it. There's over a thousand different designs with different methods of attack […]

I'm so used to Pokemon games making questionable design decisions that I looked online if it was possible to invert the y axis for flight controls before I even bothered to check the settings.
