Chuck Tingle #ATLA fanfic lookin' good
or: why you make sure your graphic designers know that print publications have gutters
There's a cold going around!
If you don't hear much from me today – yeah, like I'm such a nonstop tooter normally – it's because I've caught some illness that's making it very uncomfortable to.. anything.
Don't worry, already got my needs covered, thanks to my wife. Still, it'd be nice to get some sleep. It's 35 o'clock in my world. *zombie*
a reminder that the Doom reboot, a title in a series mostly known for shock value, is bizarrely more mature in its handling of violence than most games that make a big thing of being "mature"
and similarly, the reboot of Wolfenstein, a series known for brainless Nazi murdering, is *crammed* with complex and diverse characters and some surprisingly subtle narrative arcs
@JulieSqveakaroo Speaking of arcades, they found a new in box robotron : httpscadeblogger.com/2016/02/11/robotron-enter-the-time-machine/

Fully-sustainable luxury queer global socialism.
This multipart video essay / documentary on The Hobbit and its production and failures is absolutely incredible and includes some stunning plot twists.
Long but super worth it if you're interested in film criticism or media production. Lindsey Ellis is a master of what she does.
The Hobbit: a long-expected autopsy (part 1/2) [36 minutes]
Living with ADHD is a bit like being at a deli and assembling a proper hotdog. There's chili front and centre, but, I want mustard and sauerkraut, and I see the salsa but why is it behind the soup anyway, and there's a weird typo on this sign but the font reminds me that I have a project I want to finish up that isn't about fonts, it's a keyboard layout, and I just realised where I want the pilcrow to go, but first I gotta pay for this, and there's the chili and now I see the mustard BUT ANYWAY
Object permanence and self-recognition are difficult for some avian types. I love @literorrery just the same. 💚
I really, really miss City of Heroes.
I know there's Champions Online, but last time I was there it felt kinda crap as a roleplay environment. Nowadays, they've F2P'd it so badly that you gotta pay for every little thing under the sun if you don't want to just play one of their preset characters.
I know there's Valiance Online, which really seeks to get that CoH thing happening again, but it's still somewhat early yet as far as development goes, and not really ready for more than just dabbling.
Friends, thank you for bearing with me during this long period of mental health ickiness.
I'm feeling pretty good at this very moment so I want to take the opportunity – somewhat rare, as of late – to say that I really, really haven't enjoyed being as reclusive and sour as I have been lately.
I can look back at the times I've been more social, more energetic, more cheerful, and I recognise myself and want to get back to being more of that... though very little of it is anything I can control.
Reminder that weasyl exists, and is nice to use, and people who have a big following on FA *could* be using that to push their audience to start using weasyl
but instead people keep being like 'but everyones on FA so I can't leave'
Just. don't immediately leave, start doing the same thing you do for patreon where you post teasers or low res versions on FA and link elsewhere.
Suddenly reminded of this short story about a superintelligence trying to mitigate the end of the world:
