I want Beaker's chaotic energy when I'm non-verbal. Also, he flips off Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol, which makes him my kind of Muppet tbh.

Silent Hill, in the dark, with the ambient humming of devices, sure is a mood.

A game called "Harvester" filled with plants.

This must be a lovely farming adventure.

Sorry, Steve Buscemi, you've been replaced. No hard feelings I hope.

The same style of profile pic I occasionally get from men who want me to be a girl… I’m not a woman, and the “flattery” of calling me “cute” and sending me kiss emojis is nonsense when I have literally never posted my appearance on the internet. 🙃

"THAT FIRES SHOTGUN SHELLS-"
🧠: *No, Abye, those are camera film rolls*
"Lock and load, those ghosts won't know what hit 'em."
🧠: *They're intangible, that doesn't make the slightest bit of sense-*
"Smile and wait for the flash."
🧠: *...Actually, that one was pretty good*

"... All that stands between you and certain death is an antique camera..."

Now this is a cool and clever ad for Project Zero aka Zero/Fatal Frame.

An ad for Project ZERO with rendered rolls of film and unrolled negatives, on which are game screenshots.

I am trying so much harder to have reasonable boundaries and not be treated like a doormat. I will quite literally wait hours for a no-show. I'm starting to implement a fifteen minute rule. Too early, I will get to them when I expect them, too late? Too bad.

Abye @mxabye.bsky.social · 1d

God I hate courier companies like this. I remember when DPD delivered to the wrong house on my street, claimed nobody was in, and my details were found blowing down the street. When I complained, especially having paid extra for a speedy delivery, I got "We're sorry you feel that way" nonsense.

"Your parcel has been delayed due to a software integration issue that has now been resolved"

They couldn't see me shrug, so I just passive aggressively closed the chat window, when I got a snarky response upon asking when to expect the parcel.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

My autism needs this SO BADLY. I just want to know how people genuinely feel, rather than this elaborate "words and tone have nine meanings" nonsense.

Kimberly Spirit 👻🪦 @kimspirit.bsky.social · 2d

At some point I just started saying how I feel in response to things, like "that makes me happy" or "that makes me sad" and I feel like an alien when I do??

Screen grab from Mass Effect in which an elcor named Calyn says: "genuine enthusiasm, I delight in telling the history of my people. It is agreeable to share our culture with others."

You know what? Metroid Fusion.

Yes, it's more action oriented, but there's a morbid anxiety about taking a character who barely cheated death into an infested space station. Hunting for upgrades whilst being stalked by someone mimicking her.

I absolutely loathe cold callers when waiting for packages, it's my one weak-spot. I try not to answer otherwise, I'm not interested.

But to wait for something, only for "HEY HI HO! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?! I'M STEVEN AND I'M A LOCAL LANDSCAPER-" ...I'm shutting the door and turning the doorbell off.
