Every single time I look at this shop it has something new and somehow even more cute and glorious than before. https://shop.sevenishmagpies.com/product/gender-final-revision-sticker
@LexYeen @millimax@high.cat Er.... "usually" sung, not "normally". Bad word choice.
@LexYeen When I write for @millimax@high.cat I have a sort of internal list of quirks and patterns for how her wording and rhythm vary, the punctuation used, a per-post character limit that has to include the CW... and her native language is normally sung more than spoken.
So there are a few reasons I refer to each individual post – each little piece of the whole – as a "stanza". Blurring the lines between prose and poetry turns out to be a lot of fun!
#FediTips don’t use your legal name as your username when you sign up because there’s a pretty good chance you will want to change it within a year or two
This is not really a joke
@Leucrotta Awwww, but it's so pretty!
@packbat It gets better! The emailed response to my request didn't have the actual response, only a link to the message box I'd have to log in to see. When I finally got to it, the only it had was my original query quoted after the responder's email signature ... with all the line breaks stripped out so it's even harder to read. No explanation of what was done to the account.
Time to choose a local pharmacy, I think.
Splatoon 1 utterly consumed me for months. I was consistently ranked B+ and I was sheer terror with a Luna Blaster.
Splatoon 2 passed me by, as I didn't have a Switch yet, and it seems a little late to jump in now because....
Splatoon 3 drops on the ninth of September. The Luna Blaster mayhem shall resume!
Oh! They didn't delete the account! They removed the username so I have to use my email address to log in now. (The login form still calls it a username.)
They are still assholes.
The Half-assed Input Device has been modified.
Well, not exactly modified, but I did find a way to clear up the wonky mouse-wheel problem.
...by blowing into it like a damn NES cartridge. (Seriously, never do that. It's how you get corroding contacts.) Yeah, it seems that this eight-zillion DPI tournament-ready Elite Gamer Mouse will respond with lightning-fast accuracy and dominate the competition as long as there's no dust. It has allergies.
I'm sure it's improved my reaction time in Adobe InDesign, and I'm crushing nonograms like never before.
Oh, it stands for Half-assed Input Device!
@IceWolf This has onboard memory, but it's way less configurable than having the software running. *shrug*

I had a nice little Kensington mouse that was comfy, had two thumb-buttons, had a good scroll wheel, and survived at least a decade of heavy use. It was boring and reliable. I only stopped using it because the primary button finally became unreliable through wear.
I replaced it with the only wired two-extra-thumb-buttons mouse I could find, a fancy-ass Corsair "Dark Core RGB Pro SE". It's somewhat uncomfortable (for my kind of grip). It installs some system service that swells to well over a gigabyte of RAM. Within half a year, the scroll wheel has developed an amusing issue where each tick of the scroll wheel will sometimes scroll in the opposite direction, anywhere from once in a while to nearly half the time.
But you know, at least all the lights are controllable! Except the super bright green one right on top.
I really want my boring mouse back.
@zx3 You said it, pro'.
@Owlor Very nifty! Kudos for getting "messy" in a bitmap grid – oddly enough, that's super hard for me to do.
Way to ruin a 4/20.
It's bad enough that they stopped carrying weed from one of the few minority-owned farms in Seattle. Now they have one of those accursed "ring" people-trackers at the door and they told me to take my mask off and stare at it before being let in. I am not going back to that shop.
Dockside Cannabis in Shoreline, WA, by the way.
@Owlor I encourage it!
Also, I may as well show off. *grin*

@Aradia As comforting as that would be, my name is right there in the "To:" field, and I know it's not my email client filling it in 'cause it's in all caps. *sigh*
