in general i roll my eyes at people who complain about all the new quality of life improvements in modern pokémon games bc inconvenience and genuine challenge are two very different things. but the one thing i would definitely agree on that i don’t like in sv is the ability to access your pc boxes any time. it sort of cheapens the experience of having to carefully choose which six pokémon you’re taking before venturing into unknown danger. like i don’t think you should be able to catch a pokémon in the depths of area zero and immediately put it in your party i think you gotta be loyal to whoever you took initially. it’s about being forced to have a plan for all outcomes
#like you can switch your pokémon in the middle of the elite 4… be so real#personally i never did in either of those situations#sv being the first game i played (that had a pokémon league i mean) i didn’t know about the whole type specialist thing#not that i would’ve been able to tell what type those ppl were anyway#but in any case i was like well might as well just stick with my same loyal 6 right#pokémon#sv#in a similar vein i’m kinda unsure about how i feel about being able to remember moves anytime#i think if i could change it i would make it so that you could freely swap moves *at any pokémon center*#like remembering new moves is free but only at certain locations#although one could argue that’s just introducing slight inconvenience without making it more difficult#bc you can fast travel to those places any time#but i guess it would hit you in like area zero#idk#maybe i’d make it so you can do it on the go anytime but it does cost something#but instead of rare difficult (or just plain annoying) once per day items like heart scales#have it be either plain old cash or like. some significantly easier item#idk. the convenience is super nice on that one. but it is kinda weird that it would be so easy to get your pokémon to get its moves back

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

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍🏻
#i say maybe i did this to myself because historically i have gifted most of the items i have knitted#because the venn diagram of things i like to knit vs things i like to wear is actually 2 circles that don’t touch#i looove making hats. i HATE wearing hats#also i love making baby clothes but i don’t have a baby and i’m not going to have a baby#however lately i’ve gotten really into knitting socks and i really like to wear knit socks. it’s like the most affordable way for me to get#quality wool socks. and i’m going to be watching my shows anyway. the time will pass anyways#but it feels like people are deliberately making me feel weird for wanting to make stuff for myself and not profit off my hobby#and like i’ve made 3 pairs of socks to gift already because ‘tis the season or whatever. and i’ve started another pair for a friend whose#birthday is in january#genuinely it’s very weird to hear ‘you should sell it’ or ‘oh i want one!!’ about an item i’m making for myself. after 18 years of gifting#or donating basically everything i’ve ever knitted. like i’ve gifted 2 double bed size crochet blankets#everyone i’ve known who’s had a baby has gotten a cardigan or a blanket or hats or all of the above#i spent october making poppies for the church. i’ve never even stepped foot in my village church mind you. my neighbour asked me to help#do you know what i own? that i’ve knitted? a pair of mittens and a pair of socks.#you want some socks from me? alright. that’s anywhere between £6 and £10 for the yarn and that’s optimistic#i’m currently making myself a pair with hand-dyed yarn that cost me £18 including delivery#the needles i use cost me more than £10. time… let’s call it 24 hours per sock#i don’t know anyone with 18 years experience who makes minimum wage so let’s call it an even 600 for my time. tbh#DO YOU SEE how this isn’t a viable side hussle??? i physically cannot charge what my socks are worth#if i like you and you’re willing to wait; socks are free or cost whatever the yarn costs#if i don’t like or know you venmo me £620. and you’re still going to have to wait.#just pisses me OFF when people suggest i make an etsy page and they say it like they’re doing me a favour or giving me great financial#advice. like you’ve seen me sitting here all evening and i’m barely done with the cuff.. do you actually think selling these for £20 maximum#is going to help me out. i’m not selling them. they’re FOR me. i’m making them because i want them#also when my friend’s family was saying this to me and i was like ‘well the yarn cost a fiver’ and they got quiet and i was thinking yeah…#a fiver is the maximum you cheapskates would pay isn’t it. a fiver is cheap sock yarn bought on sale. or yarn that probably isn’t actually#good for socks. like don’t presume to give me financial advice when you’re this out of touch with the market please#next person who asks when i’m going to start selling socks is getting this whole rant in entirety tbh i don’t care anymore#personal#edited to add that i didn’t even get into etsy fees or whether i would even be noticed among the mountain of dropshippers LOL

I was just thinking what a cool job this might be.. what if you were just the person who makes little still images of cute animal figurines doing various activities to post on social media...? like.. show up to work and just spend the whole day like "hmm... this table should be placed to the left a little.. let me set this miniature bagel down in this way... this tiny rabbit should be wearing a scarf", setting the backgrounds, the lighting, etc. ... dream job perhaps lol...
#I'm sure it probably doesnt pay much lol#but.. maybe in some ideal world..#with my health and mental conditions and level of functioning there are VERY few Jobs I could actually EVER manage aside from#just being self employed and being able to set my own hours somehow etc... But every once in a while I come across something like this#and it's like... hrmm.... Yes... perhaps if I could align myself in this hyper specific scenario under hyper specific conditions in a#precise and predictable way and everything worked out perfectly and I had all the accomodations I might need.. maybe I could#do THAT thing then .. lol#Not just generally a 'social media manager' or something. I think that would drive me into the throes of madness#but SPECIFICALLY 'person who makes the images for the calico critters social media' and also#the place i have to go to do that is either my home or within walking distance of my home and also i rarely have to interact#with others aside from the posts probably going through some approval process and initial ideas where they tell me what#type of scene to make and also i somehow make $90.000 a year doing this for only 4 days a week with frequent sick breaks#dreamy sigh and so on and so forth and such and so on#ANYWAY........#the idea of meticulously placing little pastries and miniature crayons and stuff around all day until the scene is perfectly crafted.. SO#SO so appealing to me... like designing environments in the sims except it's real and tangible.. And also imagine having access#to the FULL library of miniature items. to me that would be just as good as owning them#Like.. I get to use them and make little scenes with them and hold them and stare at them and everything except also#they're all kept at work so I don't have boxes of clutter filling home.#unlimited access to every little miniature food ever crafted yet none of the downsides (purchase cost and storage)#etc. etc. ANYWAY ...#Chuckling confidently as I add this onto the 'List Of ''Real'' Jobs I Could Do' which is just a notebook sheet of paper with only like 5#other similarly unlikely hyperspecific scenarios scribbled down

(btw, FC members come first and that'll take a while, but any mutuals can probably score a discounted gearset (should be same as the IL for the time-gated new raid stuff) off me via like, Oceania trade or something since I feel like most people aren't EU server)
#idk what my rate would be#maybe like.... the cheapest cost of each item on my DC added up and then... 75% or 50% of that maybe#discounted from MB but not necessarily cheap#(cost at the time we check before crafting. that'd be locked in as the fee then)

compromised 👍
#i have literally been thinking about this for years. i made this thing maybe 8 years ago. maybe more??? idk. LONG TIME#and i wanted a proper one since it's kinda rickety BUT it functioned enough.#last night i ripped the tape and was like SURELY i can allow myself to get a proper one.#spent hours agonising about it today (waste of time)#i just ordered 2 that were on sale and i'll perhaps tape them together :P bc the one i made is 60cm wide and u know almost#nowhere is selling them that wide!!!!#we are talking about clear writing slopes btw 👍 items that should not cost one billion dollars and yet :P

Sometimes I'm like "yeah I probably have autism but it's not a big deal. I'm doing alright" and other times I go to the grocery store and end up crying in the car and thinking maybe I'd rather just starve than ever have to buy food again. But that's normal right?
#grocery stores are literally manmadr horrors beyond my comprehension#they are a saw trap to me#the florescent lights the narrow aisles the too many people#the way every store has a different layout#the way there are 75 options for every item but they're always out of the one you actually want#the way it costs like $2 an egg right now#my personal hell is being stuck in any grocery store except maybe Aldi or trader Joe's

i'm planning next week's picnic like if one thing goes wrong i'll be publicly beheaded. i'm locked in to such an absurd degree.
#also never shopping in my nearest town again maybe#i saw my cousin's ex who lives an hour away and her friend together which is so....... like wow i really thought i'd seen the last of him#very messy situation#started talking to a cashier/stocker i've spoken with on occasion for several years and she showed me some of her art & poetry (???)#got in line in front of one of my former classmate's dads who tried to proposition me right after my mom died#went to the new dollar store which has four self checkouts & one manned‚ tried to use a self checkout and the cashier said#'we don't have self checkouts' i said 'do you mean today or period' she said 'period' and we discussed how badly that's got them fucked up#they're literally running one of the self checkouts as a manned checkout when things get busy like...#and it was JUST built!! like just less than a year ago i think#i always come home from that town wanting to pull my hair out it's sooo strange!! like everything is craaazy#i also got fucking scammed!#i forgot to check until just now but the grocery store likes to run a weekly sale then not update the computers to reflect it#like they've done this for years and years#and i paid $1.99/lb for apples that were marked down to $1.12/lb so i overpaid a damn dollar#during the panini when it was my only source of groceries sometimes the difference would literally be like $50 because of big ticket items#i'd usually walk out‚ unload and read the receipt‚ then walk back in and get my refund. every friday.#and if i didn't i'd be out like $100/month for nothing on top of everything costing double what it did in the city#that place is fucking cursed. like there's just layers and layers of misery covering every surface.#adam yaps

after the knitting project i just finished i feel fairly confident in saying that one day i will open up a knitting etsy shop :)
#dichromaticdyke.exe#yes it will be mtl/dethklok themed#would probably only be able to do limited runs of each item...could MAYBE do a couple made to measure pieces on commission#but also for more popular stuff i'd be willing to sell the patterns so ppl could make them themselves! we'll have to see#all i know is i LOVE the design i just finished and i have enough yarn to make at least 2 more of it#the only thing that would suck is figuring out pricing since reimbursing myself fairly would NOT match up with what ppl are willing to pay.#i didn't actually time how long it took to make but i'd have to estimate around 15 hours? i think? idk lol. but assuming that...#for minimum wage plus cost of materials i would have to charge $240. and no one will want to pay that lmfao. $30 is probably fine.

It is possible that I will be trying to buy a pricey stufful plushie tomorrow. Gotta see what my check looks like first
#I've been looking for thos specific plush for a while at a decent price#and I think I found one#but it's gonna still cost me around $70-75 bucks#but to me its worth it because its my favorite pokemon#Im slowly trying to create a stufful shrine lol#there's not a lot of merch for it tho as I've talked about before#but theres still some so its better than nothing#Im looking for physical items atm and eventually I'll try and buy some pokemon cards#one of my coworkers was kind enough to give me a stufful card recently but I've seen theres others too#so I'll add to that eventually. maybe glue em all together onto cardstock and frame them idk yet#viti shoosh

Been playing duel links recently, but the only other tcg I’ve played and still remember the rules of is Pokémon. Needless to say ive been loosing a lot of online duels.
Now normally i wouldn’t care too bad, id tweak my deck and move on to the next duel. The thing is tho im playing as yugi and holy shit, all of his loosing dialogue, and even his loosing portrait is so fucking pathetic. Like i love you yugi but can you chill on the self deprivation for ten seconds??? You’re making me feel like i stepped on a pet’s tail every time i lose, i cannot take it and i will cry
#for anyone who’s unfamiliar w pokemon tcg#all decks are 60 cards exactly and your best bet is to pack as many item cards as possible in there#if you dont get a starting hand with a Pokémon you can use right away you get to shuffle your starting hand into your deck and draw#a new one#and like half the item cards (function like spells) are for drawing many cards at no cost#ygo has very different rules tho#and building a deck with a bunch of cards with a ton of spells n traps#does not work out very well#anyways i digress#yugi please go to therapy you’re making me feel actual empathy towards your game avatar#every time i match against someone using yami yugi my brain is all like#if we beat him then maybe yugi will have better self esteem?#i bet he’ll feel so happy and proud of himself and-#girl he is not REAL#yeah im mentally ill how’d you guess?#ygo#ygo duel links#yugioh#yugioh duel links

I have to submit a list of every item I want to sell & an ingredient list for each item to the county for my cottage food license 😵💫
#like look I do think there should be rule to do this obv you're selling food! that can't just be a fly by night thing!#food can be dangerous if not prepared & handled & labeled correctly. I get that it's serious!#but also holy shit. you're telling me I gotta inform the county of EVERY FLAVOR of cake & cupcake I wanna make?#every flavor of cakepop. every kind of little chocolate I wanna sell#I have so many chocolate molds like hearts! roses! teddy bears! kitties! hello kitties! sports balls! mermaids! normal squares!#that's not even taking into account my Christmas molds bro#I gotta register ALLLLL that with the county? like. it's a lot.#all the blondies and brownies and zucchini breads and banana breads and muffins and rice crispy treats#all the different cookies#I'm gonna have to pare down my menu maybe idk#and if you wanna ADD a new menu item? you gotta submit it to the county#so I'm trying to think of EVERYTHING the first time so I don't have to constantly be submitting menu items to the fckn county#at least so far what I've found it's not like HELLA expensive to get the license. it's not cheap but it's not like a grand#watch my county be a grand they're such cunts ughhh#and then I gotta get a business license with my city. that one I'm really nervous abt cost on#it's just. a lot. lol. once it's done though it's done! I'm just like ahhhhh#should I do a separate bank account? do I need a DBA? it's crazy#I don't THINK I need an EIN cause I won't have employees#like lmao I'm so tired at all times rn#cause I'm doing all my usual stuff#with all this shit running in the background at all times#I'm literally like 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫#erin explains it all

Geez new games are so expensive these days. I'm waiting to get Veilguard but even at 35% off, it's still over $50CAD—about what a new AAA game cost less than 10 years ago.
#not surprising given the release/base price is asinine#but i'm used to such discounts meaning a *new* game is $40 or less#the only game i bought at full price recently was bg3 and that's 'cause i knew i'd get my money from it#and sold a bunch of tf2 items to help offset the cost#ah well i expected to wait longer than this for it to reach a price i can justify#and aaa publishers wonder why they aren't getting the sales they want#maybe if your game didn't cost as much as a week's worth of groceries during a cost of living crisis/~9% of pwd#people would be more inclined to buy it outside of sales#especially now that season passes/dlc is so common and that's another $30+ on top of the base price
