Remember in Undertale when you try to sell your items to the bunny girl and she's like "This is a shop, not a pawn shop." And that becomes a bit at every shop (minus the tem shop) and we're all like "Wow! It is kind of strange how normal it is in games for you to be able to just sell things wherever to whoever. What a funny running gag based on the absurdities of video game tropes!" Okay well do you also remember in Disco Elysium when you're at the Frittte shop and you keep asking the clerk to explain things to you and it's obvious you're annoying her and she doesn't know or care about the lore behind the items she's just the clerk who sells stuff? It's the same kind of fun jab at the genre, and a fun jab at You for having certain expectations, that's part of why I think these games are comparable, equal and opposite. They're two sides of the intersection of "Video Game" and "Real Life", but also about relationships. The comparison is at time dubious, at times a little stretching, a little too vague and too broad, but I think there's something to comparing the two, because they both represent two very different kinds of story driven computer RPG's. One has more of an emphasis on world building, one has more of an emphasis on character building, but they both use both aspects to compliment each other by connecting characters to the world, it's a fun study and I could just go on about it. I'll bite the bullet and get a video editing software sometime, I got a fresh new computer with storage to work with so maybe I'll get on that sometime. Once I've made a coherent and compelling point about it I won't have to think about it ever again.

Error pages and missing kudos emails

AO3 uses a technique called rate limiting to help prevent activity that could threaten the Archive's stability or security. However, the way we usually do rate limiting isn't working, so we've had to temporarily change our approach while we work on a fix.

Unfortunately, this new, temporary approach makes it more likely you'll run into error pages while using AO3 normally. We're very sorry about that! If you get one of these errors, please wait a few minutes and you'll be able to continue using AO3.

We're also looking into reports that some users are not receiving kudos emails.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and we'll keep you updated.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

you could say that the world’s richest man was stupid and impulsive enough to do a nazi salute on stage twice without considering the backlash, but really what I think happened is the world’s richest man implicitly or explicitly calculated that in the current political and medial environment he could do a nazi salute on stage twice and not suffer any adverse consequences. which is worse. a lot worse.

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

There's a post sitting in my flagged posts that's been there for three plus years. It's a pair of onions in a bag that looks suspiciously like a pair of fat tits. Apparently it's flagged for everyone and God i wish i could show y'all

hate being at work. my coworker was like "I bought a neck thing for my neck pain on amazon the other day. it's probably a scam lol" and I couldn't even say "well just hope it's not radioactive" because then everyone would look at me weird and I'd launch into a rant about the negative-ion producing pens available for sale on amazon and temu and aliexpress that are just radioactive, and I'd think that my little ramble was really cool and interesting but nobody else would and they'd just remember I bombed the conversation with a complete non-sequitur.

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

2024 Art Wrap

This was a big animation year for me. It’s really nice to do these art wraps to remind myself all the work I’ve accomplished.

See how I make room guardians on my Patreon!
