new pinned post

a crude drawing of my sona, who is this androgynous pink alien with blond hair and rainbow jacket over a black turtleneck body suit, holding two photos with a distressed expression. One is of Dwight Fairfield from Dead by Daylight, a nerdy white guy with black hair, with a green checkmark. One is of Dwight Schrute from the Office, with a red X, a completely different nerdy white guy with brown hair. There are various additional photos of Dwight Fairfield for reference with green checkmarks, and also a picture of Dwight Eisenhower with a red X as well.

"WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT A DWIGHT, IT IS THE CHARACTER FROM DWIGHT FAIRFIELD FROM DEAD BY DAYLIGHT, AN ASYMMETRICAL PVP GAME WHERE I PLAY HIM AS MY MAIN.

IT IS NOT DWIGHT SCHRUTE. I HAVE NEVER EVEN WATCHED THE OFFICE. PLEASE. IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NERD.

ITS NOT DWIGHT EISENHOWER EITHER"

Yeah I have no tolerance for like, huge disagreements over major political issues, but if I can't say Ocarina of Time is one of the worst "Best games of all time" without it becoming a nasty fight rather than something funny like... what are we doing??

I don't like how "discourse" became a bad word for a bad thing. Discussion with differing views on stuff is fun! At least when it's not like an axiomatic difference in basic values lol

As game developers, we are extremely hard workers whose trade is inextricably linked to our mental agility. Perhaps pubic appearances are unavoidable, but doing so unprotected in a crowded high-risk environment is just... reckless, frankly. For yourself, your team, your loved ones

"But the other threat of COVID, particularly at the population level, is its ability to reinfect.

Because if COVID were a one and done virus- a virus that bestowed lifelong immunity, like measles or polio (generally) do, the cruel logic of “let it rip” and “back to normal” would ultimately work for the “survivors”. For those who didn’t die, for those who didn’t develop Long COVID from their one and only infection, for those who didn’t suffer brain damage or too much bodily damage on their first shot out of the gate, then that would’ve been it. We really could’ve gone back to normal. For those who’d been harmed, well life sucks. Losers lose, winners win. And this is the attitude that the people who consider themselves “unharmed” by COVID have very publicly and boisterously put on as they took their masks off these last several years.

But COVID isn’t a one-and-done virus. And it doesn’t reinfect at a rate that is similar to other viruses of its severity. It’s more severe than the flu, yet the average person only contracts flu once or twice a decade. People are contracting COVID every year or so (and if you think you aren’t, bear in mind that 40+% of COVID infections are asymptomatic)- some people twice a year. People are spinning that roulette wheel- or rather, the Russian roulette wheel- often. Like, really often. Like, way, way, way too often.

The danger of COVID is its inherent danger, yes, but it’s also its relentlessness. It’s that when you get away with your 5th infection it’s coming right back for you a 6th time. A 6th time in year 6? And you’re a 6-year-old child? Is it really such a mystery that teachers are complaining that “COVID babies” can’t say their names or tie their shoes coming into kindergarten? We’ve been serially infecting children with a virus that damages their brains. We know it does this. And we just…. keep doing it? "

i had to use up a FFQ in order to complete another, so i ended up using both to make this crosspaint- her name is Spamrisk :)

Maybe I'm in the minority but I really don't think this Pikmin short is anything more than just an animated short by Nintendo Pictures. I don't get any vibe there's a tease for a game or bigger announcement.

And animation isn't "pointless" because it isn't trying to sell you a specific product.

throw some characters at me. you can do it even if there's six comments, i'm reserving the right to be a little picky especially if i don't recognize the character in question. no offense meant if i don't pick your suggestion.

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus.

I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks.

Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.
