Dropped abe off safely at Pearson. I think they got rid of the sad cubes? IDK. The end of an era if true.

@tfproxy Hey dude; I got your email but I haven't had the chance to read it in depth but it seems rad as hell. I'll send you a more in depth reply later, but I didn't want to leave you hanging!

We also went out for an extremely belated fancy bday dinner for Abe that was hella good

I went to buy the iPad last night but they were out of stock, and I chickened out on ordering one because I couldn't deal with paying for it and then not immediately having it

@tfproxy I'm on a Mac laptop so getting files back and forth would just be a matter of air drop, which is super simple. But yeah; I hate Windows. I've been on macs as my primary machine since 2004 and every time I have to switch back to PC it feels clunky and bad. Macs aren't perfect but they're better for me in terms of prioritizing the functionality I want.

@tfproxy the surface I have is a surface pro 2, which is hard because the screen is a really awkward size (versus the iPad's more square screen), which I thought wouldn't bother me but I kind of hate it. It's missing a lot of functionality I would want, like a good touch native illo program (I'm using clip studio but it's nerfed without keyboard shortcuts). I've waffled a lot on whether it's good or whether it sucks.

This is like, half me wanting to do more art and half me wanting to sock away extra money and create a sense of financial security for myself that's independent of my job

@angrboda I'm glad kitten remix is done because finishing it was a bear. It's not really feasible for me to go home, eat dinner, and then be able to have the night to myself to get work done more than once in a blue moon

I'm heavily debating getting an iPad Pro / Apple Pencil combo so I can find a way to get more work done without being so chained to my workstation, but I feel guilty spending the money and I'm scared that it will be the same as my surface where eventually I won't like it

@fineursine every time someone equates being a gamer with a cultural or ethnic identity it really really reveals how much they don't get anything and I can safely ignore their contributions without losing anything of value

I've told a lot of really convincing stories this morning at work about being at 'comic con'. Being a huge fucking dork is a surprisingly good cover for being a furry

@smallesttiger it has an animal skull headed magician who has a girl with a collar he calls 'puppy'...

@smallesttiger I'm so glad you're watching it because I've wanted to rec it to you specifically several times but I was sure fifty other people already had

furry business garbage 

In case anyone is interested in the nitty gritty of the pay stuff, the metric me and Abe use to determine how successful we think a book will be long term is its '3 day', the amount of money it makes in the first 72 hours. Monster Manual previously had the best 3 day of all of our books, which bore out as the highest grossing book. The best selling is still Classical Conditioning by a huge margin, but it's also cheaper.

@angrboda it's already doing really really well, haha. We're halfway to beating monster manual's 3 day in less than 12 hours. It seems like word of mouth is good, too!

@abe_e_seedy faved on multiple platforms. I was horrified that heathrow's twitter account replied to you - a sentient airport is definitely a black mirror

@angrboda update: I posted a thing with international hotline info (because I have no idea where they are) and some other stuff that was hopefully the right thing to do

Suicide mention 

I got a bunch of anonymous tumblr messages (asks) from someone threatening to kill themself - does anyone have a best practice for this situation? The only way I can answer them is posting publicly on my TL and hoping they see it, and I'm not sure that's a good idea, either.
