subnautica, hardcore mode 

So I started a game of Subnautica about the beginning of the year, because tropical waters sounded pretty appealing as a lead-up to actually going to Hawaii.

Because I am me, I also chose to make it Hardcore - one death means game over. I've been very careful, and my memory of the game before means I've had a few advantages.

I just visited the bottom of the world to get the Quest to Make the MacGuffin, and once I've delivered that I can finish making my rocket and take off. I've not died once yet.

Fingers crossed.

roomba, capitalism 

the secret is the Personality Core does nothing, it only exists to alleviate the end-user's moral hesitation about buying a new roomba

i've read articles about people getting attached to their roombas and not wanting to throw them out. irobot (the company that makes roombas) seemed baffled and a bit put off by this, but my thought was, why not play into it?

give every roomba a little block called the Personality Core. when you buy a new one, you slot your old core in, so you're not throwing out your robo friend, you're just shifting them over to a cool new body

‘Traditional masculinity’ deemed ‘harmful’ by American Psychological Association
– article: thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefin
'...The American Psychological Association (APA) officially labeled “traditional masculinity” as “harmful” in a new report.

The label is in the report titled “Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men,” a first of its kind for the association, which was featured in the January issue of “Monitor on Psychology” magazine.

“Traditional masculinity ideology has been shown to limit males’ psychological development, constrain their behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict and negatively influence mental health and physical health,” according to an excerpt in the 36-page report...'

Reportedly, in Tokyo, local gangs have started using drones to transport drugs across the city.

In response, the police are using net-carrying drones to try to capture these packets mid-air.

The gangs are counter-attacking with their own net-drones to try and drop police drones.

In a statement with the Tokyo police, they say they "Haven't had this much fun in years"

Sorry enbys you're perfect now. I don't make the rules.

mirrors, transfeels (~-) 

Sometimes I see her out of the corner of my eye in the mirror. She's me, but not only the me I want to be, but the me I want to have been all along too. And for those moments, I feel this impossible yearning.

Most of the rest of the time, I just see me. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's bad. Sometimes I even feel like I'm not faking something. Like I'm actually supposed doing the things that I'm doing. Like I'm not some clumsy gangly too-tall, too-broad-shouldered mess in a skirt.

Please remember when you're making posts about being trans that trans people other than transfeminine people exist! I see a lot of posts that treat transness just as "wanting to be a girl" and we shouldn't erase all the nonbinary, transmasculine, and other trans people that exist!

I should probably apologize for the joke here but maybe only two people are going to get it anyway. <..<
