He/Him. I'm pretty flexible on my identity though. Sometimes I create art, music, and code. Alexithymia and Mania. Brain is wonky sometimes but I try my best.

Yikes.

Some folks don't seem to understand that you don't have to be cruel to others to promote your own work.
Mood. If individualism wasn't pushed so harshly into our culture, asking for help would be a lot easier.
Just spam random letters into the Input Box and eventually it'll lose all context I guess. Suddenly you're in an entirely new game.
Yeah it's unfortunate that the 3D printing community undermines how important they are for uv resin. The datasheet is pretty clear on toxicity.

It sucked having to get all hazmat suited when you just want to make art stuff but going without it would have sucked a lot worse in the long term.
They really are unpleasant.

Had a gas mask for working with uv resin at my last home.
Nasty stuff to breath and get on your skin.
Trippy games are absolutely a genre. But there's solid code and a story behind them. Some of them are really good.

A visually glitchy hacked together mess where you could get softlocked at every moment because it barely follows any logic is uhhh... Yeah....
Huh... Without context I probably would have assumed it was for insulin.

What the heck is a "little sissy shot"...???
Yep. I referred to it as an LSD Simulator in another comment.

It's very much what it feels like to have random dips in your memory and your brain is just constantly hallucinating to make sense of each moment. Just to a very extreme factor that would most certainly make you lose conscious.
Technologically it's amazing.
But the actual gameplay experience of playing through what is essentially an LSD Simulator with text prompts ehh...

Maybe for a very niche market in the same way that deliberately bad games is a niche market.
Yeah. Wife is going through that too.
She is always cold and i'm always an active volcano of heat.
If you told me this was a homeless shelter, I would have no reason to question it.

Why are techbros like this?
As it turns out, killing a large chunk of your brain cells does infact "fix" many things.

In the same way that cancer in a petri dish can be effectively destroyed with fire. Yay you cured it.
Given how people look at me when i'm shopping by myself... I can only assume I must look a lot more intimidating than I actually am. Dang.
Mhm. Eventually in the prolonged absence, you can no longer experience anything at all. No sorrow, no joy, no anger, no regrets.

Part of me misses that in a strange way. Life was so much more simple when it was just pure determination of goals and nothing else mattered.
OMG your hair color is just... so beautiful.
I need to ask my hair stylist how on earth I can get blue to work. 🥳
Taking the enemies symbols in conquest has the same feeling as "keeping trophies of my kills".

Big old YIKES from me on that.
100%.
Pastas (like spaghetti) can make a lot of food for pretty low cost.
A person's personality is a combination of the people they are the closest with.

Just throwing that out there.
To be fair, Broadcom and Intel were extremely protective of their chipset documentation back then.

Trial & Error takes a lot longer than if you have the real interface documentation to work with.
Yeah. Anything that's not an exact replica of Windows is going to be a very painful transition for a lot.

Linux Mint is pretty close but it still has a lot of Linuxness that can be a transition.
Ultimately my biggest gripe with Linux is that it suffers from the same issues I have with the cereal aisle.

Too many choices. Do we need eight different apps to manage bluetooth connections? Rationally No.

Do we need 600 linux distros with everyone saying theirs is the best? >.>
Yeah. Compared to twenty years ago, I find Linux (at least Linux Mint anyway) a million times easier to use. Sometimes I forget that i'm not running Windows 10 still.

But with an engineering background, that doesn't mean much.
The trouble is that "customer experience" is a very different skill set than software engineering.

You don't generally see a lot of people with that skill set working on open source projects. It's all engineers.
What's wacky about this is that I formed a peanut allergy randomly in my early teenage years.

Immune Systems are totally bonkers. Haha.
