*eats nothing but ultraprocessed microwave food, snacks packed with food dyes, and takeout* why do I have depression and adhd
#i get it it's very tempting these foods are LITERALLY designed to get you addicted#it's not your fault but it IS your responsibility to do better for yourself and your loved ones#this isn't even my most controversial opinion#addition: i don't mean you should be eating nothing but organic vegetables and grass-fed beef#sure that would be ideal but that's beyond the economic means of most people especially if you're feeding a family#just. regular normal food made from ingredients.#it doesn't have to be fancy literally just boil some potatoes and roast a chicken idc??#make a bean soup or whatever#i probably spend less than two hours a week cooking and eat basically exclusively homecooked meals#it's SO MUCH cheaper too#i do a big cook once or twice a week for dinner and make snacks/lunch/breakfast daily#i basically eat OMAD during the week though but on my days off i'll eat several meals

here at Zoraxis we only talk about the most normal of things on our smoke breaks
everyone say hello to Matchstick AU Ollie!! someone PLEASE get this man some help he is going thru the horrors
tag list: @wyvchard @pandagobrr @phoenix-and-found-family @warden-draws-sometimes @ghostlystarwanderer
#does this like. need a content warning????? idk.#Ollie doesn’t smoke in the normal timeline (he used to when he was a teen but quit) but when it’s the only way to get a break#most Zoraxis peeps favor cigars but these two prefer cigarettes bc they’re cheaper#which is also why Ollie has a crack in his glasses. too expensive to bother replacing them#i put way too much effort into this lol#i’m determined to make my next post about smth other than the Matchstick AU. but like it’s not my fault that it’s so compelling#ieytd#i expect you to die#agent phoenix#ollie ieytd#ieytd au#matchstick au#ollix#my art

okay i typed this in a reply but i need to say this more detailed here too, the way totk dealt with horses (and stables) is bad and worse than botw imo (yes i can rant about that too, these weird choices are in every little spot in totk, its almost impressive)
in a game that lets you build cars and stupid flying maschines, towers that shoot you into the stratosphere AND teleporting points all over the place, the chance is already low that you use a horse- though i would be one of them bc i love horses and hate building and didnt find it fun at all-
(also i almost never used any parts i had with me bc you cant put them back and your dumb vehicles despawn as soon as you dont look at them- also a negative thing about that system that reinforces the feeling of actually using it being more punishing than rewarding with the added bonus of the good ol saving your health potions forever problem)
-and something i DID like was that you can have more horses and the ... one.. new color (the lil spots but only AFTER you do that one quest in the spy post)
the stable points seemed like a neat idea, but like so many things, are utterly cheatable, imo the system should have only given you a point when you visit a new stable, so you actually have to go around and visit them all
(also .. add new stables, like mini ones or sth that dont offer beds- you dont need that anyway- so you have more places in which you can get them ... why did they remove some of them anyway, shouldn there be MORE now that the land is supposedly healing/being repaired? especially the one next to the big canyon, its so empty there it would have the perfect place for sth like a new settlement or a big boss arena but no its more empty than it was before, why?? and then putting yet another repeating annoying quest there in that weirld empty place?? i just dont get it)
letting you farm points by sleeping at a stable or bringing in a horse gives you LESS incentive to actually go around the world bc you can just farm it there
(and if that was done so youd 'discover' the malanya talks to you in your sleep 'secret' ... that is literally told to you, and if its bc you dont want to force players to go around and find every stable to get all those rewards ... why do you have 140 or whatver caves then with the majority of them being the literal same thing over and over ... to make people actually use the sleeping thing there? .. why, who uses that anyway, and farming points by sleeping there .. what the hell does that add? AND THEN the stupid sleep over tickets, probably the most nothign reward ever, dont count?? i dont think i ever used one- it just all doesnt make any sense, everything plays against each other)
the upgrading system for your horse is .. once again, a neat idea horribly executed, you have to go find malanya to upgrade them, and similarly stupidly like the fairies, they only tell you what food you need for what upgrade when you are there .. or when you are sleeping in the special tm bed at a stable, randomly, one food, bc the quantity changes too
which is just so ??????????? let me go and do a quest that rewards you with a lil booklet in which you can look up what an upgrade costs, or let the stables have that, either as a list or in the menu when selecting a horse or something?? (also why the hell is malanya in a different spot anyway, like, it feels like a modder just plopped them over there, their og spot is just empty now - except for yet again a stupid filler quest for .. another big horse and a yaaaaaaaaays crystal shrine quest- ... the spot is even still called spring of the horse god .... its so stupid, just like the fairy shuffling around, like you really couldnt think of a better way to reuse that concept other than to ... move it to a different spot in the same map and map level???? and not change anything in their og spot except idk, put a hole in the map ... for one of them like .. its like they moved them around last minute just to have the semblance of things being 'changed' with no regard what makes a change actually feel like one and what just feels like, pick up thing, click on random spot on map, drop thing- its like that for the fairies and shrines too, its so dumb and .. feels disrepectful to botw and how much thought seemed to have went into these spots that were clearly built about those things)
and like it couldnt get WORSE, they cut off the paths that horses follow automatically with one of those miasma buttholes (sorry its just a hole cut into the map, it doesnt even look like miasma burst through, it just .. cut out) a monster camp (that RESPAWNS, i thought those camps you clear with a quest would stay clear, but that would make sense, so of course it respawns and you can do the frame rate killer quest over and over yippieee) or otherwise like, with a big rock or a broken bridge-
and there is NO WAY to create a new path or fix or move anything in a game ABOUT BUILDING supposedly, like you needed more reasons to never use a horse????? i liked jsut hopping on and letting them follow a path and chill looking at the landscape, you cant do this here, and you cant even excuse it with 'its bc of the theme' as in, stuff is destroyed bc calamity 1.5 or whatever bc nothing in the game makes it feel like theres anything actually at stake, but the real crime is to make it not be fixable. WHY??? link moves entire buildings with ease but cant move one freaking rock that fell into a river?????? you swing around logs like a club but cant fix a bridge so your horse can get over it??????????????????????????????
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#totk critical#i know i know its long#and you may wonder how i can find things to rant about yet#and i swaer im not trying to find thigns to hate#but igven how much it reuses from botw#imporvement or at least meaningful change should be the minimum and they just ......dont .... again#like WHY this is so dumb.................#the more i try to get my feelings into coherent thoughts about this game the more i realize just how rushed it feels#even the detail or side mechanics either dont make sense#or have some sort of way to cheat around way too obviously to be something overlooked#or are poorly integrated#or cheapen antoehr function#like these problems are everywhere#and the longer you look at it the cheaper it looks#even if you love the game and dont mind it or whatever there is NO WAY to justify that price tag#and so wish they were honest about what happend#it cant just all be covid can it? theres so much wrong in every part except for sound and music#and so desperately want to know WHY#........ i just wanted more horse colors- more horse slots- and a lil pasture somewhere where i can see them all frolicking around#i feel like thats not too much to ask

Brick is so mischaracterized it’s obnoxious. Anytime I see a headcanon where he’s forced against his will to go to military school it’s soooo,,. How can you say that. This man LOVES the army. He is obsessed with the military like a little boy is obsessed with joining the military. This man has a tank nightlight, he loves military shit. It is his proudest accomplishment. The first thing he does when he gets on the island is brag about his medals, and all he talks about in his biography is the military. His best memory from childhood is going to boot camp for fucks sake. He can like fashion AND the military lmao. Why chose one
#td brick#if brick was smart he wouldn’t waste his money on fashion school and would take online courses for much cheaper instead#but whatever live out your best life king#he’d bedazzle his uniform for war#anytime I see that fake backstory where brick was forced by his dad to join the military so he could man up or whatever I just UGHHH#plus it’s canon that his issues came from being teased a lot as a child#idk too many of the revenge boys are given sad backstories like bro enough#I can elaborate more on bricks mischaracterization#he’s too woobified by fandom. he’s also a bit of an asshole lmao

what is the obsession with made in usa shit it's literally going to be more expensive and with the fucking problem of nobody being able to afford anything I DON'T THINK WE NEED MORE EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW
#it costs less to produce things in other places and import them than it does to make things in the usa that's why#you don't see made in usa items often because they're TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE#now chinese products are gonna be more expensive mexican products are gonna be more expensive canadian products are gonna be more expensive#we now have a trade war with canada and mexico#for no fucking reason#because whether we buy mexican chinese canadian or american products#now it's all going to be fucking expensive#no the companies won't lower prices if he takes tariffs away they're greedy#hooray inflated prices#hey maybe the american products will me cheaper. than everything else once they all go up so much from the import tax#you know what won't raise so that we can afford the still high american products?#wages. because companies could not give less of a fuck if you're literally on the street in winter no clothes freezing to death!#and neither could the government or our president apparently!#us politics#politics#the usa could not give even less than one half a shit about any of us#except for rich straight white men

I want to hear about your fave recent scientific discoveries, Ana!!
what do i know abt science though LMAOFIODJF
#my own excitement is way too technical to explain in detail plus i won’t wanna doxx myself by sharing too much#so like we figured out a new way to look at gene regulation in a new cell type that’s a lot more physiologically accurate than our previous#one and id been SAYING this to our PI/CEO and now we’re finally upgrading so im so happy about that#we’re about to get INSIGHTS into the immune system babyyyy#one thing on a general level that i find exciting bc my ex roommate has asthma is they figured out a new way to treat it!!#it’s not an inhalation substance but an injectable (antibody 🫶🏻) and it’s really cool bc 1) it’s way more efficient than stuff that’s#currently used and 2) it’s the first advancement on this field in my entire lifetime ! actually the first in 50 yrs#so im looking into that a little bit actually you’ve reminded me i gotta send the article to her she loves science too#thanks for asking i hadn’t even realised id been excited about this until you asked 🥲#oh by the way fun fact did you know if a medicine’s name ends in -ab that means it’s an antibody-based medicine#so like. cetuximab or trastuzumab or whatever else -ab -> it’s an antibody! and thus probably super expensive too though 😖#howeverrrrr part of my job is to figure out ways to make ab production cheaper so 🤞🏼

saw someone in my city selling the ioh 15th anniversary vinyl on facebook marketplace for $175cad ($125usd). ive never felt so fucking conflicted in my life.
#that is almost double the price ive spent on one vinyl since ive been collecting but hhhhh i want it so bad.#i had a look at how much it has sold for on ebay/discogs and it is like cheaper than it usually sells for. but 😭#and then i wouldnt have to pay outrageous shipping on top of that is the only good thing too...sigh#WHY DID I NOT JUST BUY THIS WHEN IT DROPPED OH HOW STUPID I WAS I SHOULD HAVE STARTED COLLECTING SO LONG AGO AHHHHHH

Got my first display tab! And the first thing I tested it with is an anime Connie sketch lol.
HUGE thank you to my supporters at Ko-fi, as that's where I got the funds. 😊😊🤗💕
Seems needed time to get used to, and I use more shortcut keys than the number of shortcut buttons on the tab; but I am already loving the it so far! My laptop, on the other hand, is not handling it too well. 😅
#I did kind of expect the laptop to act like it is right now. Which was another reason for buying a cheaper display tab to save up more on#a new laptop.#I got an Xp Pen 13 by the way!#It's looking great so far#The screen is much more closer to my face now tho. Lol#The colors come out different than both my laptop screen and cellphone. 🤔#But I think the xp pen has too much red tint?#Anyway. I have to tuck the XP pen for the moment. Not just because I needed a better laptop. I'm in the middle of doing commissions and#can't do those while still getting used to the laptop ...while also dealing with the lag.#The laptop's power drains even faster with the display tab and it lags even quicker the more layers I add. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#Laptop can't handle it very well.#Connie Maheswaran#SU#my shiz#Xp Pen#Thank you to my ko-fi supporters!!!!!!!💕💕💕#This was a screenshot redraw by the way. Or at least a screenshot redraw of a scene by memory.#You know the scene.#I wish I was able to make Connie look more pissed off tho. Lol#I also used the tab for a some of the sketches of my current commissions and I am so sad that I can't use it throughout the process.#It's so much easier doing the sketches with it than on the screenless tab! But it also lags. Orz

For only $5,000 plus tax, you can have costco deliver an entire palette to your house
#i like looking at absolutely bonkers things on Costco#it's one of my hobbies up there with looking at mansions on zillow and judging the shit taste of rich people#who needs this much le creuset????? that's got to weight like 2;000 lbs#i mean i want pieces of that but my GOD that's too much#you'd have to have special cabinates built just to withstand the weight#and like you're paying for brand more than anything because if you NEED cast iron enamel there are cheaper brands that work just as well#le creuset is like 3-4x more expensive than it needs to be#but also THAT IS SO MUCH CAST IRON

My sister and I walked through the toy aisles of a store today and bemoaned about how bad a lot of the quality of things were now or how some things were not sustainable/poverty-friendly but then we got to the general toy aisle and they had those little plastic animals that come in a tube and we were both like HECK YEAH TUBE ANIMALS WOOOOOOO!!!
#ghost posts#we had farm and safari tube animals as kids#we loved those things#my dad had some when he was a kid too#my sister and I also appreciated the hot wheels cars#but not so much the prices oh my gosh#they had one that was $8. $8 FOR A LITTLE METAL CAR#shout out to the Barbie doll in a wheelchair w a service dog#that was very cool. the blind Barbie w a cane was neat too#still cheaper quality that I get miffed at but still super cool

knitting anything larger than thread is for weenies, come on you know you want to make wedding ring shawls
#this is a joke by the way#i just find the smaller i knit the better it is on my joints#its easier to carry around small projects in my bag too so i can take my knits on the go#plus thread is soooooo much cheaper per yard than anything else#it doesnt really take so long to knit either i average a stitch every two seconds#im making a shawl out of size 30 crochet thread atm and its coming along very swiftly#knitting is perfect for turbo adhd when you must keep your hands fiddling with stuff#this one is shaping up to be thin enough to be fit through a wedding ring :}#knitting

re: my last reblog
????? just one example I might be a little too addicted to my phone to buy smth like that right away but jesus christ. This is so sexy
I went to r/dumbphones (that's a thing. I just learned this too) and someone had a phone charm on their flip phone

#I'm gonna miss my timewasting games#But frankly if this can run a browser and a vpn to open youtube that's more than what I need for outside of house activities#I would have to download my music tho bc youtube is an asshole about listening to music with locked screen#Assuming this thing can even run youtube#But aside from that jesus christ#I mean I've seen these kinda phones at the electronics store but I kind of assumed they haven't evolved in any way#phone charms are such a temptation#I was so sad when these things went extinct#Not to mention these phones are much cheaper than your typical touch screen too#Music+no vpn likely (Idk if it's gonna be compatible?)+how hard it is to get used to the number typing method(/how slow it's gonna be)#are the biggest mental blocks for me rn
