my very long running rimworld colony is finally nearing its end. look at this nonsense, the colony wealth is nearly $3,000,000

anybody got an isolated shack or hovel deep in a large plot of forested land I can live in? I'll let you visit to consult with me for sagely advice once or twice per season, that should be a fair equivalent for rent

after many applications of head to brick wall, I've managed to gain the ability to drive half-decently in f1 22, and I can now say with 100% confidence that this game is broken there's input delay, but only sometimes. grip disappears when it shouldn't, and doubles when it _really_ shouldn't […]

an interesting question has come up: what even is character growth? what does it mean for a character to "grow" through a story, and why is it desirable? for clarity, I am coming at this from the position that "growth" and "development" are NOT synonymous my characters develop. throughout […]

I need to track down and play more obscure racing games. it is imperative for my survival

do not let me near your cats. they _will_ follow me home

people have come up with several different designs to turn digital media back into physical media again, and I think that's cool of course, I want to make my own instead of using one that exists. I want cartridges, but small and chunky like GBA carts, and a slot that clunks _and_ is spring loaded

[f-slur] the first thing I heard after getting out of bed today was a 13 year old boy sitting outside my window loudly saying "god is a faggot" to nobody what did he mean by this

you ever think about how cool the story of helge meyer and the ghost camaro is

because nothing I do in the kitchen can ever go smoothly, the mug cake I just made had to be stopped and restarted several times because it somehow managed to more than quintuple in volume and overflow the mug, and the bowl I poured it into, before finally deflating and baking into chocolate sand

you ever feel an insatiable need to stretch your body farther than the laws of physics will allow? break my bones into tiny little segments, I need to e x t e n d for a minute

it is officially blanket season again, thank goodness

i don't care if em-dashes are "characteristic of AI," that's not gonna make me stop using them. i've used them since high school, when i first had a computer that could easily type them. i'm not gonna stop just cause some folks make stupid assumptions based on windows not having an easy way to […]

An extremely common problem I have noticed among traumatized young adults who have difficult parents is that they don't realize they're adults. They reason about their parents as if they're still 8 years old and subject to absolute authority. If you're over 18 and live with your parents – […]

y'all, I KNOW it's hard, I KNOW there are Problems and Complications unique to every case, I KNOW some parents are truly spectacularly awful and abusive. I'm not saying "magically pull financial independence out of a hat" or anything like that. I'm saying – you fundamentally cannot fix the […]

it would be cool if there was a pill you could take daily that contained all the micronutrients and healthy food chemicals and such that you could ever need, then you could just drink tasty beverages all day for the calories and stay healthy without needing to cook

In 2022, Ireland did something bold. It trusted its artists. 2000 creators received €325 a week, no strings attached. The result was more art, less anxiety, stronger communities, and even economic gains. Now the program is permanent. Ireland becomes the first country to prove that supporting […]

I don't know what Web 3.0 will be, but Web 4.0 will be made from rocks and sticks. — Albert Einstein

you know, I've been thinking for quite a while now about starting a youtube channel where I just talk about stuff that I'm interested in, or about autism, or other things that are part of my life, stuff like that. I _will_ do it eventually, I swear, I just struggle really hard to actually start […]

hi #portfolioday ! i’m sor and i love my ocs!

years ago, me and some friends drew up a pokemon fangame for fun, but never made it. I still remember my gym leader and his lore. the whole thing was very "what if pokemon but without the parts we don't like" perhaps I should take that, make my own pokemon-esque world, and write that story sometime

someone should make another game that uses a solar sensor like boktai

I made ice cream with cayenne pepper in it for fun it was pretty good

if you think about it, "with all due respect" works better as an insult than it does as a formality

for some reason, I decided to acquire F1 22 and try it out. I like the look of the current F1 cars, and F1 2020 was a really good game, so I wanted to see for myself if EA really completely killed everything, and... I can drive in F1 2020. I cannot drive in F1 22

there's an ebay seller with a huge stock of the exact SSD I need 13 of for cheap, but alas, I do not have $700

whatever you do, do NOT get yourself 1-3 years of ESU upgrades for free on windows 10 by going to https://massgrave.dev/ and following the instructions to run the open source script to run an exploit in windows enabling the activation of ESUs. You have to upgrade to windows 11. There's no other […]

I wonder if the general consensus among car enthusiasts will eventually be that the 90s and early 2000s were the peak of automotive engineering, as I believe it is highest tech, lowest weight, smallest sizes, highest revving, (often) best sounding, best handling, and most driver-focused cars […]

gratin!!

developer of jet lancer, also known as the best game ever made, is working on another game that looks extremely compelling https://store.steampowered.com/app/4067370/Prospice/

four hours of flyff and I only got three levels. not even 25% of the way to the level cap yet honestly I'm shocked that I'm still playing at all with a grind like this. I don't enjoy grinding, and it's not for nostalgia either. mindless grinding must still be somehow doing something for me, I guess

did you know that the directors cut of deus ex human revolution is somehow almost twice the size of the original version plus the missing link? even though it's the same game with no real additions or upgrades that would affect file size? I didn't. how did this happen

every couple hours I have to stop whatever I'm doing for a while because my cat climbs onto me and yells until I hold her and pet her. she also gets upset if I pause whatever video I might be watching, because she likes watching them with me, especially if there are hands on screen

the few writing groups I've tried to get into so far have been so overwhelmingly female that every one of them has now had at least three extensive discussions each of periods, PCOS, and hysterectomies that's not a problem to be clear, but friends, we are not beating the allegations that books […]

I should get a motorcycle

Replacing Discord The Starlight Network is joining forces to help work on Polyphony.

I would eat an entire habanero with every meal for the rest of my life if I could

you ever think about how odd it is that non-discrimination clauses always include religion? not to say that religious discrimination can't be bad, but it's weird that it gets equal status on a long list of things where _nothing else_ is something one can choose for themselves or change without harm

A few useful facts about the aforementioned robot... ‪ #oc #ocart #art #illustration

need cake of cup variety

my chair has been getting real loose. the back rattled, and it would recline even when locked. was dreading the cost of a new chair decided to take a closer look at it... and it turns out it was just a few bolts that loosened over the years. tightened them up and the chair is good as new again

I should write a story about an alienated person forsaking their humanity and going through hell to commune with an eldritch horror in an effort to feel seen and heard by the only thing they feel they can understand in the face of a world that refuses to understand them not an allegory or anything

apparently yamaha patented a fake engine for electric motorcycles. as in, it's an entire real actual internal combustion engine, with all the weight, cost, and maintenance that requires, except it just doesn't combust. it spins and makes noise, but does nothing else why? what are we doing here?

I hate grinding more than almost anything in games, yet here I am playing flyff, a game that's literally nothing but a slow grind, and enjoying myself

the youtube collaborations feature sounded really good and neat at first. but it turns out that it puts videos into the _subscription feed_ instead of just recommendations, so I'm now being shown a ton of videos from people I am not, and do not want to be, subscribed to cool

seen some renewed Discussion™ about racism in fantasy settings lately, and I feel like everyone I've seen just wants to be mad at something because there's an obvious point they never make racism in fantasy is always so stinky because it's somehow justified. want it to work? simply don't […]

I'm starting to feel like maybe I should switch away from creative commons licenses and use my own custom license that's probably just the opinionated queer license with a few changes instead. that would simplify things a lot, and allow me to actually completely shut down cops and bigots and such
