I have a small discord server with some of my friends. There's a channel called hole that has somehow morphed into both the shitposting channel and the venting about heavy shit channel. It's very good imo

I somehow missed this when it happened but my topic lords episode with @austinmwav.com came out at the end of September! Listen to us talk with our wonderful host Jim about assuming all your friends hate you, fast food destroying our digestive systems as soon as we turned 30, and more!

309. Shaking Ass To Music For Airports

Lords: Megan and Austin. We discussed going for very long walks, "elevated" horror, Every 5x5 Nonogram Section 303, NPC Dialog Test by Nintendo Europe, breakfast dogma, and not wanting to make shitpos...

I don’t mean to brag but my cat just politely tapped me on the hand with her paw because she wanted pets

I ordered some shoes and don’t like them, so I’m going to return them and get a lil tattoo instead! The tattoo will actually be slightly cheaper than the shoes were. So if u think about it it’s like I’m making a profit from getting a tattoo. Please do not question my logic have a nice day

Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer?

I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Sometimes you’re having a bad morning but then from the bus window you see 2 tween boys with frosted tips having a race down the sidewalk

Oh that absolutely rules! What a nice surprise

I’ve been curious to try it!

I, for one, really love the new AFI album

Tell me about some art/music/writing etc you’ve been enjoying this weekend. Feel free to tag the artist if they’re on here! Things in the world are bad but art is still very cool and good and gives me a lot of hope for humanity

(If you post AI slop that’s an instant block 😘)

Live your life in a way that Dr. Jane Goodall doesn’t spend her last interview talking about how much you suck

Just feels like the rest of life stress should take a pause while we sort through all this, you know?

Megan Carnes @magmacranes.bsky.social · 3d

It’s so weird, all the terrible shit going on around me for the past few days especially, and it’s like, okay, I still need to set my alarm to go to work tomorrow morning, need to clean the bathroom, oh can’t forget the electric bill is due soon, hmm what should I make for lunch later

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

I can't buy any of Megan's music (because I already bought it all), but you can. I'm particularly partial to Things from Things, 11 Grains, and Little Randoms.

My day is off to a bad start, and also it’s Bandcamp Friday! You know what that means: buy my music so I’ll be less sad and have more money for little treats

Now that I have stable income I am unafraid to be a hater on main

Megan Carnes @magmacranes.bsky.social · 4d

I guess what I’m saying is that bragging about all your rich “canceled“ friends isn’t the flex you think it is, and I didn’t care to know any of that about Travis Kelce’s penis, and also thank you for the confidence boost

I write songs with lyrics sometimes, and I never show them to anyone because I’m just so afraid that they’re actually terrible. Then I see some of the embarrassingly bad lyrics by incredibly popular artists making millions of dollars, and it really puts things into perspective 😇

I am less sad now, keep up the good work everyone

(But seriously thank you, your support means a lot 💚)
