I don't think anyone can make me giggle like I can.

Gosh I really missed writing papers.

[nixcraft]

What the actual f... Hah. Cool.

Who up thinking about the Troll Horn-Mounted Headphones.

Check out this virtually unusable workstation.

The North American PlayStation controller was about 10% larger than the original Japanese version, featuring longer grips and cord, likely to better fit Western users' hand sizes.

Me, casually reading smut: you should not be having sex in that chair, that is so bad for your back. Ugh, why are you on the flag stones giving him a blowjob? Your knees are just gonna be torn up after this bby. You’re gonna have to wear the knee brace for like three days. Ice and heat on rotation. No thank you.

Me, staring at Veilguard romance scenes: why is everyone interested in having sex on this couch? A couch is not a bed. You can’t spread out properly. Your neck is going to hurt tomorrow in that position. GASP. Am I… a prude?

i’ve been playing p5r with the besties and one of them is feral about Akechi which is understandable because at NO point do he and Akira have any sort of heterosexual interaction. like his second text he sends you has the subject “I’m alone right now”. boy what the fuck did you mean by that

I FORGOT TO SHOW OFF THE AWESOME XMAS 2023 GIFTS I GOT (which technically came exactly in time for my bday a few months back - listen mail is slow ok...we were all worried they were at the bottom of the ocean - so I also consider them bday presents XD What great timing honestly lmao).

@cold-creature once again showing off her fine art skills with an amazing paper collage of Izm! I can't even with some of the fiddlyness of the paper cutouts - apparently she had to invest in some tiny ass tweezers for this omg XDD

The entire thought of these tiny bits of paper flying away with an exhale both makes me groan in sympathy but also laugh loudly LMAO.

@justonepurpose and @enbae not only sent me the CUTEST keychains starring my characs in different clothes (winter and Royal!Au respectively) but also a mouse and phone case (which I asked for since APPARENTLY I can't get them in my own damn country) and a mini shortcut keypad (which was a surprise) :D However they won't let me pay them back for anything 😐 So I'm still trying to decide on the best art thing to do to try and at least repay them for the awesomeness |D

I'm looking for ergo/disability computer reccomendations ~

Nonstop desk work has been extremely hard on me, especially my arms! I'm trying to find ways I can work at my computer without having my arms bent, possibly also while standing.

I use a trackball mouse for mostly everything and I like it quite a lot but even with it sitting on my lap my arm is more bent than I'd like it to be. I've been considering ordering this:

But reviews are mixed and it's expensive so I want to be thorough.

To compliment that, though - I'd need something similar for macros that I could use with my left hand. The nunchuk shape would be ideal but honestly even a flat numpad shaped macro keyboard would work if the buttons were shaped in such a way that I could tell them apart without looking.

Open to any and all thoughts/suggestions! Besides telling me to be on the computer less - I try when I can but I need to make money.

I’m on my Ergonomic Desk Adventure and wanted to share my little desktop assembly thingy I put together for my sketchbook

My cervical spine is getting jacked up from excessive desk work (looking down at books and a laptop too much) and it has been causing nerve problems that have been preventing me from drawing in my sketchbook or writing in my journal.

So I found a laptop stand and combined it with an old unused paint palette and some skeleton binder clips

I just drop the palette right on there and then clip my notebook or sketchbook to the wood.

I have a clipboard that works too, I currently just prefer the size of the palette.

it has made such a difference already! It’s not perfect but holy shit it’s so much better than I was without it. It still tips if I put excess pressure on it but I’m gonna find a way to weigh the bottom of the stand.

To be able to draw without pain is very important to me so I thought I’d share just in case someone could benefit from using something like this :)

Ford and Mabel are the fountain pen twins. He might canonically have a journal of his own now but Dipper "Pen Chewer" Pines definitely isn't allowed to look at anything more expensive than a 36 pack of ballpoints.

After a year's worth of experimentation I've come to the conclusion that current trends in ergonomic keyboard/mouse design may actually be making things worse. Like, yes, vertical mice and those split keyboards with the big bump in the middle and whatnot may offer a more natural resting forearm rotation, but they also ensure that if your typing posture rests any amount of your forearm's weight whatsoever on your hands, 100% of that mechanical stress ends up concentrated on the pinkie side of your wrist. Do you want ulnar nerve compression? Because that's how you get ulnar nerve compression.

Look, she's paralysed and won't really get in the way of Mechi's work around the colony. Mechi gets a psylink neuroformer, and Angst gets to spend nineteen days facing a bleak white wall in the corner of the laboratory. Win-win!

A distress signal? How curious. Archotechnology is always tempting...

Mechi went to investigate with Chief of Security Ratchet and Deputy Rocket, only to discover the place was crawling with gross flesh. They left with zero archotechnology and a renewed disgust for all things biological.

Finally, everyone meet Hummel, the newest wild man on the map. He looks like the world's most irate, washed-up foxboy. I love him.

I'm reading through from eden (it slaps, by the way) and I have two largely inconsequential questions: 1) Did you name Patho that for any particular reason or is it just because Logo would be stupid? and 2) Is the wing that tango was kept in the south wing because of beauty and the beast?

1) HAH i considered both patho and logo but when chatting w mel we decided we just liked the sound of patho better. also bonus: mel’s totally serious hels!etho name suggestions

and 2) beauty and the beast actually had the west wing but i def thought of it when i wrote that! really i just needed some sectioned-off place they could deem OFF LIMITS for bravo and to me it made sense that tango’s farm was in a newer addition to hels tek (bc hybrid farming was their newest development and they had a Lot of grand plans for future expansion) but since hels tek is on the west coast of spawn bordering a lava ocean i figured they’d expand in a different direction first, more simple than building over lava (esp w their complicated cobble-farm wall defense system, they’d have to drain a lotta lava to make room below). suppose it could’ve easily been the north wing but i just wrote south and ran with it.
