Oh good now is the point in the System-Shock-alike when I have to go to the crew quarters and everything gets EVEN MORE terrible.

I'm good for tonight now I think. c.c;

@vahnj I 💜 you and I think you are awesome, just by the way. *hugs offered*

Oh, thank gods, this year the "what to do if someone starts shooting up your workplace" video in the corporate emergency preparedness training website has a content warning AND is skippable.

Last year: Neither. >.<

@starkatt Which reminds me: Chrono Cross. :) It's impossible for me to pick individual tracks so imma let someone else do the thinking for me: https://rpgsquare.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/top-5-songs-from-chrono-cross/

@Aradia@mastodon.social @starkatt OMG I love this. It's like (Chrono-Cross-era) Yasunori Mitsuda is doing Sonic and it's brilliant (cc @literorrery because Mitsuda)

@Aradia@mastodon.social Ooooh no I have not, thank you!

@adeptomega That's an excellent idea!

@mawr No joke. My current work password is a heavy obfuscation of a phrase to the effect of "too many changes" since I got my most recent three-month(!) change demand RIGHT AFTER the NIST published those "hey maybe don't make people change their passwords all the time" guidelines.

@starkatt If remixes are okay, this just came out and is pretty great all through:

@literorrery In all seriousness I might actually ask for a letter like that, if it comes to it. :)

Just... everyone please forgive me if I get stressed or curt or unavailable about it. I'm learning on the job here. I'm TRYING to get into a good training program for it, but the school is in a whole other reality and I'm still trying to work out how to navigate the application process successfully.

*looks back at conversations had over the past few weeks* So this is it, the part of the story where "esoteric interface consultant" (aka 'spiritworker') starts to feel like an actual second job.

It's gonna be interesting.

(This is in no part a gripe, or implying any frustration with any of you with whom I've had such a conversation with recently. I asked for this, I welcome this, it just... sure is A Thing. :))

Further idle thought: Sometimes I say 'idle thought' to mean 'subtoot'. c.c;

...When I write it out like that it seems almost self-evident.

Idle thought. Philosophical arguments often end up feeling emotionally strenuous and uncomfortably personal because people experience their axioms as part of their identity.

The work cafeteria is a foodcrime enabler this week. Sweet potato tater tot nachos with duck confit.

@typhlosion At least until browsers start implementing that HTTP DRM thing. :| :| :|

@typhlosion That's the facade. ;)

What's funny is that there are actually more-annoying ways to do it these days (If they'd used a canvas, I would've had to go a level deeper and grab it from the network pane, and I THINK I've seen worse stuff yet) but Flickr is still just doing the standard laughably-simple overlay method.

I really think this is basically just a slight bone thrown to their users, and a refusal to actually invest hours in something that anyone will be able to get around anyway

Also! If anyone else is a design-type individual trying to find a source for mockup user images that are not hella white, this may save you the very irritating hour I spent flipping through Flickr and stock-photo sites:
