Glancing at Wikipedia to reference real squid anatomy, Squidward is probably only around 2 feet tall.

My favorite part about autism is rapidly switching between "I never know what I want but it'll be OK" and "if I wanted that I would have told you, never speak to me again."

The r-word is just a way for people to equate a mental disability with stupidity. It's punching disabled people into a box to put them down. It's bashing people to their face by insulting disabled people behind their backs. It's wrong and I'm tired of pretending it's OK around my friends.

"To make the game's subtitles more accessible to the visually impaired, we added full voice acting and descriptive audio."

VITAL CHARGE, OUR NEW FIGHTING GAME, IS AVAILABLE FREE RIGHT NOW teridax.itch.io/vitalcharge this game is the culmination of effort from the extremely talented @monochromesoft.bsky.social @blastharbour.bsky.social and @joeidaho.bsky.social !!! it's extremely fun and we hope you try it!!!!

I'm growing tired of people and tech videos complaining about a lack of cables in the box. Like yeah you'll have to "buy a cable for it," or you could use any of the dozen USB C cables you have laying around from your other products. Enough things still ship with cables, you have cables, it's fine.

i have been working on something

Experienced literal pronoun erasure today lmao. I wrote my name and pronouns on the whiteboard and left them there, but I came back later to return a pen to the teacher in the room and noticed somebody had rewritten my pronouns. So I guess a student had erased it and another added them back?

The state of printers (being a buggy, messy capitalistic hellscape) is so goddamn funny because like, what do you mean the printing press is over 500 years old? What do you mean the modern versions don't work? Lol.

I know words from foreign languages aren't easy for most people, but it's at its worst in my daily life when I see others try Japanese words. Well, "try" is a little too strong for what actually happens. They just smash the letters together. It's a little unsettling. Surely trying isn't that hard?

I feel like a million bucks if money could feel sadness and despair.

youtube autocaptions frequently write the word "goomba" down as "glmmba."

If you're gonna take the time to make a video about foreign places and words, you should take the time to see if you're pronouncing the names right.

programming is cool but sometimes i wanna /bin/bash my head in

Whatsapp now has support for... generating an AI background for a chat. I've seen this kind of thing a few times now, can't all these companies just search Unsplash instead?

If the [N]orax spoke for the [rot(N, 8)]rees...

I'm finally starting to wise up to the crazy amount of AI-voiceover videos I'm being fed on YouTube, ugh it's so annoying.

I remember once when I was a kid, I read that music tuned to 432 Hz was supposed to be good. Validity of that statement aside, I didn't know what I was doing so to experiment with it I opened a song up in Audacity... and turned the *sample rate* to 432 Hz. Being a dumbass is fun.

I have yet to see a helpful AI-generated summary of a video on YouTube. It's usually just reiterating something that my brain already instantly guessed from the title.

For a sec I thought I breathed out and fogged up my eyeballs. I think I have stayed up too late, have a good night.

Silly jokes in the subtitles on a YouTube video are funny and all but every time I see them I wonder if it interferes with someone's accessibility needs somehow.

People who drink their coffee with no milk and no sugar scare me because they'll say stuff like "this coffee tastes awful" and I'm like... "how can you taste that?"

I like how Castlevania music is so distinctive that I knew immediately that a song used in Panga's Super Dram World 3 SMW hack was from Castlevania. I've never played any of the games, and I'm pretty sure I've never heard the song before. Top-notch vibes.

I've come to realize I actually need light mode as an accessibility tool. Not only is it easier for me to comprehend what I'm reading when the background is light, my astigmatism creates weird smears (blooms?) that irritate my eyes and brain.

It's always "friends keep it real and call it as you see it" until I do it lol.

Hello. It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released. Now, I'm looking for your memories. Let's turn back together. Face the flower and speak. memories.undertale.com

false. programming was definitely more a woman thing at the start. that's just factual history. also gamers are mostly equally split between male/female now.

Women used to dominate the computer science field. As the technology grew and it became less research and more profit incentivized, men pushed women out of computing. Men making gaming a “boys club” and excluding women is just more of the same. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_i...

New random theory: the overwhelming majority of video gamers are men because the overwhelming majority of developers were men. Men were the computer science people, so they were the game dev people making games for their most comfortable targe taudience: men.

I fucking love autism See for most people when they're angry, you can tell from their behavior. It's the same for me. But because of my autism...

I think one of the things I struggle with is that even though changing and growing is good, I can't ever seem to forgive the person I used to be, even for little things.

Only $20 away from the first benchmark!!

I think the most frustrating thing I'm learning about being autistic is discovering that I don't know how to unmask very well. I see others (and myself) often saying "if only people stopped being vague and indirect..." But that's only half the equation.

I draw humans sometimes too I swear! And yeah that's Kristen Stewart with a buzzcut on the right. #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalsketch #lineart #brushpen

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks 
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available." www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/...

it is never a better time to support indie and solo devs. the big games industry is not healthy nor sustainable for workers. it has been completely captured by the billionaire class.

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.
