Alright, since I've crested 300, I should probably re-introduce myself. This started off as a #TTRPG, #VideoGame, and #BookSky page, where I mostly talked about #DnD, #Bethesda IP, and #WheelOfTime / #Dune. I also talk a lot about #TransRights. Here lately, though,I've started #Writing my first 1/

To everyone who plays with a modded load order in #Fallout4, be sure to turn off auto-updates if you're playing on #Steam. Tomorrow is #FalloutDay, and with Bethesda making a big announcement (likely Creations coming to Fallout 4), don't want your game breaking!

Just watched all the Key and Peele Valet sketches. Some I had seen. Some I had not.

"Racist ass Melly Gibsons tho."🤣

Appreciate that, truly. And yeah, empathy I got in spades! Like, to the degree I have to avoid people in large groups...😅 Very draining.

And no worries. Everyone's wired a lil' different, even people with inner monologues never work quite the same, from my interactions. YAY NEUROTYPES!

STILL having enough left over to go on a date
Actually GOING on a date with someone
Foreplay/Aftercare

Look, I think it's pretty clear I can keep going. Sex is great, don't get me wrong, but like... The relationship AROUND sex is the best part of it, honestly.

Or am I just insane here?🧵

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Like, if we really want to get into it, we can:
Accomplishing that goal you've been working towards
Reuniting with a loved one after a time apart
Punching that smug sumbitch in the face
Getting "the (good) news" you've been waiting on
Paying your bills and⤵️

#AltText image that says "Name one thing better than Sex" in all caps.

I can think of like. A half dozen off the top of my head. Like, sex is great, don't get me wrong. It's fun. But it's not the end-all-be-all.
So let's go:
Good conversation
Good food
Good books
Good games
Good music
Good friends⤵️

Are we reborn at the moment of death? No. Absolutely not. Do we retain memories of our past lives? Not fully. Just echoes. Like shadows of a dream long forgotten.

Can I prove any of it? Nope. Just like I can't prove that the concept of gods are just Type 6 Kardashev Beings. But it's what I think.🤷‍♀️🧵

I believe in reincarnation. That whatever makes us "us" is carried over after death into the next life. Is that a soul? I don't know. Our consciousness ceases at death until such a time as the energy that makes us uniquely "us" has a chance to be reborn. If that's a soul, then yeah, I guess I do.⤵️

we've all been autistic, I don't know if that's related, causation/correlation, but it might be worth a grant OH THAT'S RIGHT THIS ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T WANT TO SCIENCE). Point is, my lack of an inner voice/monologue does not interfere with my ability to process any kind of urge. Thank you.🧵

Diana the Writing Writer Who Writes. USE ALT TEXT @diana2112gaming.bsky.social · 1d

THOSE images pop in my head, I flood 'em out with others. It is-I assume-what people with an inner voice do. Drown the negative voice out with positive sounds.

It's the same for literally every person I've ever met who processes thought the same as me (and there have been a few of us-interestingly⤵️

it was the most natural thing in the world. Same with circuit boards today in my amp building hobby. Same with drawing maps for my D&D campaign, or planning storyboards/photo shoots.

All it means is I process things differently. It doesn't mean I can't filter out intrusive thoughts/urges. When ⤵️

somehow because I don't have an inner voice, because my brain processes things differently than others.

That's just... Not the case though. In my career as an electrical engineer (before my disability) it was an amazing boon, I literally saw the buildings and circuit runs laid out in my head as if⤵️

Uhhh... Hi. I don't have an inner voice/monologue. Never have had one. I see things in concepts and pictures. That doesn't mean that I can't filter out bad urges/thoughts. Just means my brain functions different than other people. NGL, this post gave me a bit of a squ/ick feeling, like I'm lesser⤵️

So, let me get this straight. The beds *have* to be connected to Amazon? They can't pi-hole that shit and keep it on an airgapped server that never leaves the house?

Yeah no. That's a big no.

If my smart devices HAVE to connect to an outside thingymerbobber, that's a HECCIN' NOPE.

Right now I have no art, because I can't afford artists. But the text of everything I make is made by me.

I agree with this sentiment 100%.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 2d

It’s at the point with ttrpgs that if you don’t list the artists and don’t have a clarification that your work is entirely human made, I’m going to assume you used AI and not buy it.

There are a ton of people making fantastic art so I’m going to give them my money instead.

Yeah this is about it. I have another one about taking Tylenol to reup my Tylenautism so I can hyperfixate and Lore Dump about LotR for the next 24 hours straight. So I guess pick your poison?

I just can't NOT get right in a pig's face when they're being provoking. Come on, HIT me with pepper spray. Makes my food taste like sawdust. DO IT. Do it, ya fascist bootlicker.

Old habits die hard.🤭 I just can't help myself sometimes.

And I wonder why I get the beanbag rounds...🧵

Yeah... I can't stand for long periods (yay degenerative disc disease!), can't do crowds, and pretty sure the nesting partner worked that day anyway, which would have left me navigating the whole thing on my own, so I'd have been in the same boat as you.

Plus I got that Anarchist dog in me...🥰⤵️

Wheel of Time is one of those notorious for being... Long. Still good story. Lots of good quotes. Lots of good characters (I mean, with 2500+ named characters, at least a FEW have to be decent, right?!🤣). Good plot.

Is it the BEST series? No. Is it one of my favorites, anyway? Guilty as charged.

I need a new set of glowies. Mine don't glow anymore at all... ;.;

I also need to get the Fallout Boardgame, speaking of Fallout and dice.

But yeah, it's sad you can only charge glow in the dark stuff so much.

Co 60?🤣 That shit glows!

Me, to my cat Peaches: YOU need to stop climbing on my shit (my desk). Do you understand?
Peaches: MEOW (that sounds like no). *Promptly jumps on my desk, knocks shit over in protest*
Me: Dammit, Peaches!
Peaches: *Satisfied purring*

We love to see it! I didn't find out until after it was over that one of my local municipalities had a demonstration, I could have actually made it out to it, they had seating and accessibility options readily available, just no one made any effort to get the word out!

I would just like to point out that:
Ysayle is my favorite character in FFXIV
AND
I was the 69th like on this

I think that's very important info here.

This is a glorious picture, I love it. I absolutely love everything about it.

chain, having never met ANY of them. Knows all the names, the whole sequence of events, and can complete the quest in a single step instead of a whole series of bullshit across the entire Commonwealth.

FUCK YEAH BETHESDA JANK. #Fallout4 🤣🧵

Been replaying #Fallout4. Gods above I love Bethesda Jank.

Vault 81 has a quest. Not gonna give spoilers for a nearly 10 year old game, but TL;DR-if you know what's coming from playing it, you can skip the entire thing by following the NPC, and your character just KNOWS everyone involved in the ⤵️
