And then I did it again... while the first one was the general concept I originally had, I think this one better captures the power and oomph I wanted to express...
... I felt a spontaneous need to roar earlier, for some reason. I think it's a dragon thing.
But since it's the dead of the night and this vessel doesn't suit that sort of thing, I drew it instead.
Why do I keep getting alerts for favs/etc for posts I made days ago, that I'm sure those users have already interacted with? Is there a problem with data syncing between instances or what?
re: capitalism, environmentalism
@frameacloud Ah yes, I was familiar with it being a thing, but mostly forgot the term for it.
That, and usually things are more nuanced, like organic and fair trade exploited as branding.
re: capitalism, environmentalism
@certifiedperson Frankly there's too many variations of milk and they're all too expensive given it probably doesn't cost much to add extra protein or stuff.
As for organic, I don't think I've seen that? There is organic from another NZ brand, and it's much more expensive, but haven't seen it from Anchor.
... usually get budget milk anyway. (Or even Tararua longlife, which ends up slightly cheaper...)
capitalism, environmentalism
I saw two versions of standard-fat "blue" milk a few days ago for sale, where the only distinction was the price of the fucking bottle.
Standard blue: 3.99NZD
"Plant-based" bottle: 4.69NZD
I don't know if this is consumerism masquerading as environmentalism, or capitalism defiling environmentalism.
Or both.
re: mh, - -
@kistaro The fact cons reach 1000s of people is scary to me. The cons I've been to in NZ had about 120 people and I mostly sat in a quiet corner and did art.
I don't know what sort of activities I could even engage in...
Apparently a completely nonsense amount of mind-bending shit happened today.
I wasn't paying attention, I was playing Superliminal. Which is equally mind-bending, but for different reasons.
squeak, commission, property damage
This is really good and is only further validating this identityfeeling...? Not, like, the destruction part, just the sense of presence, and all those creases and seams. @ -@
dreams are weird
Last nights dreams were... something...
The first one was about an Ace Attorney 4 (Apollo Justice) remake with fully-animated anime cutscenes. Or maybe just an Apollo Justice anime. It was full-on moody lighting in the courtroom as Apollo and some Godot-esque prosecutor stared each other down and the judge grumbled about court antics.
The second I was going to a bookstore looking for Terry Pratchett books. Instead I found a big hardcover coffee table book... about pronouns. A big collection of pronouns and their uses, paired with pretty photography.
@kistaro Gonna have to drag you onto VR then...
squeak, commission
This is me now... perhaps...

@Oneironott I'm a toy, I *also* wriggle and squeak, but in different ways.
@kistaro My problem is it's *because* I don't have a job that I end up with way too many projects... nothing progresses as I'm always cycling between things~.
Outer Wilds ending spoilers, dream
Last night I had an Outer Wilds themed dream. It gets into major spoilers~.
It was one of those "not sure if dream reality or a game even in the dream" dreams. I'm not sure if I was me (whatever I am) or the game's protagonist species either.
Regardless, I discovered that of the various locations the Giant's Deep probe was sent, one got sent into a black hole that went off to a new planet.
This planet was marshy, full of giant bouncy mushrooms and swampy areas. It was also inhabited... by mushroom-y feral dinosaur creatures, implied to be the descendants of the Nomai after millions of years. While they seemed intelligent, I'm not sure I could communicate with them. I petted some of their heads and explored around their village, which seemed like the Poncle Village from Okami with how it was haphazardly constructed from wood, sticks, and... mushrooms.
It seems that besides seeking out the Eye of the Universe, the Nomai also found this planet and tried to colonise it. Not sure how they evolved into dinosaurs though.
... also there was still, you know, The End to be concerned about. The last star exploded, the planet went pitch dark, and then I froze solid on the spot with the lack of heat left in the universe.
My last thoughts were a bit more game-y as I was just kinda "ah, okay".
What a way to end that dream.
re: grump about this holiday
Does that mean Christmas should be celebrated at a different time of year too to coincide with the pagan winter celebrations?
yeah sure why not~
