goofy misinformation, usa map 

there has been some confusion among my foreign friends about the names and locations of the states. i, a resident of the usa, have decided to make this handy map to clear up any confusion :)

@hystericempress Aaaaargh I know what you mean. Editing stuff on WorldAnvil is similar; it's just versatile enough to make us want it to be complete!

Suggestion: Donate to some indigenous charities today, and encourage others to do the same.

To the tune of "Be Our Guest": 

I love toast
I love toast
It's the bread I like the most
Whether wheat or gluten-free
It smells delicious when it roasts

When your beard
Is too ample
Why not repeat
A muzak sample?

@hystericempress It's a rather different subject and scale, but I've been altering an existing sprite sheet for the Link to the Past randomizer so I can play one (two, with a palette swap!) of my pony OC's. Pixel work is fun!

i only want aggressively branded merchandise if it's aggressively unmarketable items. where's my official dunkin brand sega dreamcast casemod kit

@Doephin Ooooh, that one burns. "Guess you had to have been there" isn't just the antithesis of documentation, it's downright insulting!

@hystericempress Yeah, that one always rankles, especially when I see it on something with real money behind it. "Bug fixes and stability improvements" turns out to cover everything from "oops fixed an off-by-one error" to "removed functionality to prepare for the launch of the deluxe product and also added to the list of ad servers".

To clarify:

I understand that software development is often long, difficult, and thankless. I especially sympathize with smaller projects where only a couple folks are working on them and documentation is low-priority. There are legit reasons for the existence of all these types of changelogs.

Except the Discord one. Cut that crap out.

When perusing the changelog for a software update, which is most aggravating?

me: "Context is overrated."

not me: "Why do you say that?"

me: *shrug*

@Leucrotta We're so far exhausted from all this – and the work yet to be done – that exuberance wil have to wait for our energy to recover at least a little. Even then, everyone I know with cPTSD is still gonna be vigilant for shit to go further wrong. You're not wrong for not feeling like celebrating. *hugs*

As a cybernetic being, your choice of surface finish is:

windows: there's lots of things you can't put into filenames
linux: there's lots of things you shouldn't put into filenames
