I talk about personal things that can get tangentially NSFW. While I wouldn't call this an after-dark account, it's kind of a mishmash personal account and prefer to mingle with people I know or trust.

1993: on the internet nobody knows you're a dog
2017: the NSA is confused and concerned by your continued very public claims of being a dog
I know people think "ironically" comparing games to Undertale (or Dark Souls, or anything else) is cute, but there's a point where it gets tiresome and rude.
Reducing games to things like "meta elements", "is hard", or "pixels" and is therefore like some other game can be a bit insulting to developers if they didn't reference or even came before those games.
Randomly remembering how a few days ago I had to sign christmas cards, so naturally that meant using my birth/legal name.
Which... remains still just slightly... I dunno. Off.

there are so, so many repost accounts and bots on twitter, and people who don't know any better follow them for the pretty pictures, and it is just a never ending nightmare for content creators. i want to see a community that actively shuts that shit down. with as many artists as we already have here i think we have a p good shot
I hope my very furry visual novel project (whenever I get more progress) ends up better/gets a warmer reception than Major/Minor, h-hahah.
I don't really get imposter syndrome with my art or such, but I do get it with my game development/coding. Because of anti-RPG Maker elitism and because I don't use big names like Unity, I don't feel like a Real Coder.
But sometimes I wonder if I would have less hassle if I wasn't constantly fighting against bullcrap design in its editor. (Though honestly it's just the map editor that's my current hellscape, everything else I can work around.)

hell, end blatant microtransactions

Plot twist: non-chronological "best posts first" features are actively detrimental to creators, focusing on memetic content that pleases analytics-watching shareholders.
Good toys float. Toys cannot sink~. Although the sea life implying depth to the water here is just a little disconcerting.

Computers are magic.
No, really. There's a crystal at the heart of it doing all the computation, with some support crystals sending power to it and handling some data for it, and a timing crystal keeping everything working in sync. There's countless small liquid crystals acting as a display, changing colors in sync to form images.
So, do we call them "reawoos"?
Idle observation: I haven't seen any obviously ~viral content~ on Mastodon. Metadata (i.e. shares and favs) is not obvious - not being displayed on the main feed, only on single post view.
I'm not sure if this is an intentional design choice to avoid cognitive biases with viral posts, if other system designs are affecting it, or the community is simply too small and compartmented to have post virility like we've seen on other sites.
The king produces a decree that "morphologically displaced humans" do not have the status or rights of other humans.
Some people messing with polymorph magic move to villages outside of the royal domain, while others willingly accept their lack of human rights in the city walls.
"I have rescued you, my princess! You are free from the control of the evil dragon, now I must take your hand in marriage!"
"pffft the only husband i want is another dragon, a few years of that is hard to break"
Furries wouldn't be very good at self-preservation in a fantasy world, because they would see or learn of something magical that entices them, only to find out there's some physically/psychologically harmful element.
"Subservience to a dragon? Oh boy I want in on that!"
Say goodbye to your free-will until a hero slays the dragon.
Maybe most damsels in distress end up just idiots that got too curious~.
I can't believe I'm muting accounts already.
(Specifically the ~statistics~ bots on mastodon.social that crop up in the federated timeline.)
I'm not really sure who to follow on here. (Of people I know.) Also I still don't really like this ~web app~ multi-column layout.
Just slowly setting it up I guess on the chance Twitter is a lost cause.
