#i don't what to pay what is worth

[hellenhighwater]

When you’re looking for furniture/decor on Facebook Marketplace (or where ever) are there any specific keywords you search? Or do you just slog through all the posts of boring things until you find something cool?

Generally no, I don't use specific terms. I actually usually go as broad in terminology as possible, and trawl through.

The goal for me is to find a cool thing that someone either doesn't know enough about to know how valuable or rare it is, or someone who wants it gone more than they want to make money on it. For either of those sellers, specific terminology is not something they're likely to use. The one-photo no-description $40 add is the target and has won me some really cool stuff.

I do make a point to open and browse ads for stuff I think is cool that I know I won't buy, just because I know the Facebook datatracking is relentless, and I might as well use it to my advantage.

If you've got budget to burn then yeah, go for the technical terminology for stuff. I just find that usually gets me experienced antiquers who know what they have. And that is, fellow shoppers, the enemy.

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this

My TOTK Master Sword Pins came in! This is my first time trying double layered pins, the petals have some real DEPTH to them from the layers. It looks more like they are really fluttering away into the background. The two layers also gives the pin a very premium/sturdy/heavy feeling i didn't expect but in hindsight is obvious LOL

Comes with a custom backing card too, the pin itself is 3" long so perfect to hold and "swing" around lol

Someday, when the company I work for finally catches me and kicks me out the door (I've been here 23 years, and have narrowly avoided layoffs SO. MANY. TIMES.), it's going to fall apart behind me. Because I have so many layers of knowledge that is nowhere in writing because it requires you to know how things worked 20 years ago to figure out why it's not vibing with new things invented today. People inventing new things today do not know they need to know that stuff from 20 years ago, so they don't design the product to work with grandfathered shit. Because ideally, old shit shouldn't be grandfathered for long. Sell that customer new shit! But some customers fall through the cracks.

And I'm the only one who Remembers The Old Ways.

So there's a stand-alone DVD of both parts of Rising and on most streaming sites and the season 1 DVD they're also grouped together as one episode and I'm seeing the runtime listed as the same but I swear there are extra scenes on the stand-alone DVD. Am I crazy? Is this a thing??

honestly it's been really healing being back to actively contributing things and writing out thoughts on tumblr the last week or so, because while twitter tends to be easier for me to write out Thoughts on without getting overwhelmed, the environment in the twitter fandom circles i'm interested in is not only infested with antis but cliqueish in a way that is caustic to the fucking soul if you try to express a thought that's more than three sentences long--a hundred times over if you're autistic in slightly the wrong way--and it's incredibly reassuring to come back to an environment where the very kindest and most inclusive people toward you are not clearly thinking the r-slur the entire time they interact with you lmao

the amount of math i put into figuring out my PTO is honestly so funny. i've probably spent like 2 hours this week and last week just playing with the leave calculator spreadsheet my coworker gave me. this morning i added a sheet for 2026 so now i'm calculating my PTO out that far. i basically already have a plan of how i'm taking time off for 2025 so as to maximize my time off in 2026. i dont think this is a normal level of attention to detail but at least i'm having fun

[quirkle2]

ohohoho do you perhaps take commissions

i do not i am so sorry . introducing real-world money into the mix just stresses me out way too much :[

[oifaaa]

You’re seriously undervaluing your art, you could charge at minimum 20$ per commission and I think people would buy them

I honestly think I'm overvaluing my work but also charging $20 which is equal to about £15 would mean I'd only have to draw 400 art pieces to reach my target sooo

seeking a sequential artist

had a big brain moment for an upcoming scene in a RP i host i would love to get it illustrated or, if i can somehow budget it with you, as an animatic, but also i can't get too descriptive about it either because i don't want to drop spoilers on guildies who may not wish to see it, so! are you a sequential artist? like GW2? have a decently quick turn around [1-2 months maximum, ideally] ? are you okay with drawing fairly severe but not particularly detailed injuries? i am Grabbing you and inviting you to DM me about this

[slitherpunk]

i want to move girl's quest to godot but i'm pretty frustrated because with girl's quest, i wanted to do something kind of complex and out of my comfort zone mechanically, and i thought, well, with my now 5 years of experience in unity i could finally make something like this. so now im like. man. this is rough. quite a lot i'd have to figure out all over again in a new engine.

I think the frustrating thing about Spotify recommendations is sometimes it really does introduce me to lots of cool Indie Bands that I really vibe with and allow me to try some new stuff and sometimes it keeps telling me that I need to Listen to Mother Mother (I have not listened to Mother Mother ever and at this point I never will because it is a pride thing.)

Or a random unfunny tiktok joke song from 3 years ago/ a viral YouTube song from over a decade ago.
