honestly my timeline on Twitter is very clean 😆 I barely see anything, because I muted every single thing qsmp related, almost every single cc name, and anything that might be brought up by cc, and if I see anything qsmp related tweeted I just instantly mute the account (positive or not). There’s the exception of my close friends, and one or two accounts, but other than that? Nothing.

so I don’t really see any bad things on Twitter, and honestly I’m glad for it :’))

if I need updates I can just check the update account or tumblr, and my psyche can remain blissfully ignorant

At some point, my player went to Castle Ravenloft to get some answers from the Lord (and eventually ended up becoming his warlock and gain trauma expertise while meeting otherwordly things in the Chapel. )

While spending the week there, he invited Strahd to play a game where one should manage to lie to the other or be deprived or one of their senses. While many people chose to make Strahd a lier, I decided to make him someone who will always tell the truth. During the game, he accepted with reluctance to lie for the sake of playing.

The first round was tough. This vampire knows how to play with the truth, but lying was ... something he didn't do in nearly 8 centuries.

He lost the first round and ended up blindfolded, but as a vampire, his keen senses helped him really well to know if the PC was lying or not.

Featuring : Khal, @xyanmajor's character before he dyed his hair in blue and tied them up in a sexy ponytail.

One day, I'll polish this sketch as well.

At this point Joel has killed himself trying to kill xB than he has killed xB. And xB is so menacingly (tauntingly...?) sweet about it. A trap will fail miserably because of bad timing or something and he's just like "see you soon Joel!" while Joel just grumbles and promises he'll give up only to come back in a couple of hours like a looney toons character (pathetic wile e coyote energy).

Not even xB's long time friends are this desperate to kill him. Joel has just failed enough times to the point where I think he'll try just about anything.

How to get into Coding!

Coding is very important now and in the future. Technology relies on coding and in the future you will need to know how to code to get a high-paying job. Many people consider having Computer Science field-related jobs, especially in AI. What if you are interested it in general or as a hobby? What if you don't know what you want to do yet for college?

Pick a language you want to learn: Personally, I started out with HTML and CSS. I recommend if you want to do web design HTML and CSS are good languages to start with. Otherwise, start with JavaScript or Python.

2. Find Resources: Basically you want to look at videos on YouTube, and take classes that have coding like AP CSP, AP CS A (harder class), Digital Information Technology, etc. You can also attend classes outside in the summer like CodeNinjas and use websites like code.org, freeCodeCamp, and Codecademy. Also, ask your friends for help too! You can find communities on Reddit and Discord as well.

3. Start Practicing: Practice slowly by doing small projects like making games for websites and apps. You can work with friends if you are still a beginner or need help. There's also open-source coding you can do!

4. Continue coding: If you don't continue, you will lose your skills. Be sure to always look up news on coding and different coding languages.

5. Certifications: If you are advanced in coding or want to learn more about technology, you can do certifications. This can cost a lot of money depending on what certification you are doing. Some school districts pay for your certification test. But if you take the test and pass, you can put it on your resume, and job recruiters/interviewers will be impressed! This can help with college applications and show initiative if you want a computer science degree. This shows you are a "master" of the language.

I HEART ROLEPLAYING

[fedorahead]

i'm so sad nerd culture has been corporatized because it's so accessible that it's been cheapened.

i don't mean this in a gatekeepy way; if i wanted a poster of fanart of, say, welcome to nightvale, i'd have to order it from the artist or buy it at a con or draw the damn thing myself.

now, fanart is still being made but i can log onto any of the various chinese sites (including amazon) and get a poorly manufactured print of someone's art without ever having the artist themself involved or paid. and i'll have a low quality wall hanging. and because it's so accessible, i can do this 50 times. cover a wall in it. overpay for something i could make on my home printer, get none of the satisfaction or human experience, but cultivate the aesthetic of that particular wall.

and it's completely loveless

there's no joy to the discovery of cheap crap on amazon that will fit the ~vibe~ i'm going for. there's no passion when i order a stack of ten arts that go together because they scream "nerdy" and use catchphrases that were played out in 2010.

i go to events and see people reselling stickers they got off wish for a dollar apiece, when the 50 pack was a dollar.

it's all so soulless

so when i say nerd culture sucks now, i don't mean "aaaa too many people i don't like have discovered that cool stuff is actually cool" like people love to pretend is the problem (though we can discuss the neurotypical invasion and subsequent ousting of autistics from traditionally social-reject circles later) the problem is that capitalism has sucked the joy out of it. 42 isn't an in-joke, it's a brand slogan at this point. everything is "wibbly wobbly" now. merchandise featuring d20s is some of the most popular cheap shitgifts you can get for holidays. everyone has seen how dragons consider you good with ketchup.

it's exhausting. none of the cheap crap is special. the market is oversaturated.

and now when i say i like xyz show, even though i liked it for 20 years, people do the whole "name three of their songs" type shit because they expect fandom to be so commodified that we have to be experts on every nuance if we've enjoyed something (or even loved it passionately) for so long. i haven't seen much doctor who past matt smith, but i've seen a shitload of baker and davison. being weird at me because i don't have an opinion on clara when i've only seen her twice is just obnoxious. because now, everyone's experience with a show or fandom is supposed to have some kinda alignment. when i was coming up, some of us had seen episodes others hadn't because they were still missing, or had to be torrented, or we went out of our way to find them, so every fan had a personal and unique relationship with the franchise. that just makes you out of touch now. if you haven't got all the info the youtube digests feed viewers, or the tiktok trends spread, you're a poser. if you don't like 5th ed d&d, you're boring and old. if you enjoy THAC0 you're a weirdo; but in a few years when the hipster zoomers discover it you can bet that my inability to calculate it myself will mean that i'm the poser.

i want the experience of having to order my specialty weeb shit from japan. i miss finding the vhs tapes of episodes of shows that didn't air anymore. yeah, that shit was more expensive back then, but it also meant that there was less drive to consume for all of it. each individual item i found was a special treasure, and that's just not the case anymore.

Is anyone else who's following me learning how to play an instrument / already make music, and if so, what instruments or programs do you use? I am an absolute beginner, and the three main instruments I have are stylophone, keyboard, and a pocket drum machine.

I'm not asking for free tutoring or anything (though maybe a couple pointers for how/where you learned general stuff wouldn't hurt) but just... parallel play? I think is the phrase?

Though I'm very excited about the prospect, I am also intimidated by the amount of stuff to take in, and I feel more confident and motivated to learn something new when people I know like friends and acquaintances are doing the same kind of thing, excitedly sharing their process on their personal projects as it progresses to completion. All I'm saying is it would be nice to not feel alone in this regard!

Harassing people on discord should be a sport
