@Moot@snouts.online oh heck yes
@Lioness@the.monsterpit.net gosh, same
@Lioness@the.monsterpit.net imo stuff like Heavy Rain & The Walking Dead had already established the pattern, but The Last Of Us definitely became an archetype for them
@kitsch I went by various guides (rockpapershotgun have good ones) for comparison of current gen CPUs & selected mostly based on that.
After I went on PCPartPicker and found a motherboard & RAM that'd be compatible with the CPU & the previous computer hardware that's still going fine (GPU, case, drives, CPU cooler). I've a list saved there with my current parts, so swapping stuff out of that was fairly simple. It's a vgood resource for checking things will play nice together before committing.
Tonnes of PC parts arriving this week..
I've never actually built a PC without assistance before, just watched a friend do it and swapped out parts and such.
Going to try and take it slowly.
@anne@weirder.earth If you convince a 2000s vampire it's cybergoth, you could probably get them to dress up as the Predator?
(zombies take a little more persuasion)
How did I manage to get earwormed with the door alarm noise from Halo
It doesn't even have a tune, this should be illegal

@anne@weirder.earth Enhance! Enhance!
@Moot@snouts.online believe in yourself, unleash your potential
good morning fediverse
@anne@weirder.earth cute!! ;v;
re: disability, trans, institutions, indoctrination techniques
Was reminded of this interview recently, it's been on my mind a bit ever since, how deeply it's permeated my sense of self and how hard I've had to work to shed it.
Also how easy it is to slip back into that mindset, and how many aspects of society encourage and reinforce it.
(CWs: child sexual trauma, PTSD, ablism)
Excerpt below:
"The implicit message that permeated all my therapy experiences was that if I wanted to live as a valued person, wanted a quality life, to have a good job, everything could be mine. All I had to do was overcome my disability. No one comes up and says, ‘Look, in order to live a good life you have to be normal,’ but it’s a powerful, implicit message."
(...)
"Well I wanted all those things, to have a good life – so I ended up declaring war on my own body. It was me against my disability; and my disability was my enemy. I was bound and determined that I was going to conquer that disability."
disability, trans, institutions, indoctrination techniques
Being disabled and being trans means being indoctrinated on two fronts into a specific kind of obsessive institutional idolatry, devoted to a specific ideal of the valid body and its place in society.
In general terms, it goes something like this;
"You will never be us for as long as you live. It is nontheless important that you devote yourself to emulating us in minute detail. It is only by constant study, practice and self-flagellation for this role that you will be accepted."
In both cases, the cultural needs of the 'normal' group (invisibility, worship, subservience) are inverted; They are invariably presented as a core need of the target group, instead.
The act of ingraining this ideology on the target group is therefore depicted not only as harmless, but as essential for the subject's survival- Their erasure is a noble responsibility, taken up on their behalf by benevolent custodians.
@octopus Python, Javascript, C#
Learnt the first 2 years ago for gamedev stuff, JS was the one that stuck. Bounced off C# multiple times, only learnt rudimentary Python stuff, but the principles stuck around.
My motivation tends to be project-driven, and learning in abstract from working on the actual project tends to be difficult to focus on, but you can't "just dive in and learn from your mistakes" in this sort of thing. So is tricky.
re: WIP Cities of Sigmar Trooper
@daylight This is cool as heck!
Hum. Well, it's not the PSU.
I'm going to scratch that time/effort down to learning more about computer maintenance.
Next is motherboard stuff, but not today. Today is resting.
Recently been playing Hypnospace Outlaw, Monster Train, Dicey Dungeons & Age of Wonders Planetfall (all very good).
Reading a mix of stuff; Empress of Forever (good but not far in it yet) and The Nature of Scientific Revolutions (good but dated in parts).
Music has mostly been seeing what m83 have been upto lately
Aside from that, surviving and creativity stuff
Still around. Just avoiding social media a lot. Head is wonky.
Computer's broke, but hoping to try and fix that tomorrow (and that I'm right about it being the PSU).
neurodiversity, developmental disorders, psychiatric/clinical models, venting
Boy I sure love the distinction of developmental disorders
How shall we define Autism? If we accept the clinical framework (which we shouldn't, but hey), should we go by symptoms, genetic clusters, or mayb-
DSM/ICD: "Put the stuff involving interactions with neurotypical people in the 'Important Diagnostic Criteria' Box, put everything else in the 'Probably Happens Too, But Who Cares' Box. Job done, lol."
