So many romance quests in games feel like picking out what car you want to take home from the dealership, and it's super gross and not actually very fun.

@bea Romance that isn't like figuring out what car you want to take home from the dealership.

But what if: a videogame where the romance options are actually non-deterministic. No matter how many friendship coins you put in, she's maybe just not actually into you. And it's random and baked into each save file.

...so now I have a spare 8x10 frame and a painting that still needs to be framed.

Today I learned that an 8x10 flat canvas doesn't actually fit in an 8x10 frame.

Keep getting stuck in this indecision paralysis where I know I should be keeping some sort of notes for tracking/processing some MH stuff, but I keep not being able to pick a good medium and thus don't actually have anything logged.

A paper notebook feels like it'd be best, but the act of physically writing things with a pen is super aversive to me. But I also can't think of any good way to organize things digitally...

Filing under Lessons Learned: spray glue really *should* be used outside.

Update: I went to an art supplies store and it was a magical place.

I don't want my life to have forms of expression inaccessible to me because I was too afraid to make something bad.

For a long time I've thought of myself as being bad at creating visual art and music. Like it's just not something I can get good at without putting in way more effort than I'm actually willing to spend.

But y'know what, fuck that. I don't want whole creative media to just be inaccessible forever. I'm gonna try to make stuff.

Even if it's bad for a while. Even if it's bad forever. I've got time to learn and improve even if it's slow.

@KoBunny Oh, I can like a salsa with a bit of fruit too. This one is hardly even spicy, though. It really does taste more like jelly.

@ThatDamnCat Having not actually spent a lot of time in Texas, can you get green chile burgers there yet?

I'm really glad to hear it :)

@ThatDamnCat (on the other hand, a lot of arizona salsa tends to be a miss for me too -- goes too far in the opposite direction of being a homogeneous heat paste)

@ThatDamnCat (IMO a lot of texas salsas over-emphasize tomato and tend to be closer to pico de gaillo which is okay but not usually what I'm looking for)

@KawaSeadrake It's probably shit for everything tbh.

@ThatDamnCat I grew up in New Mexico so I think I have pretty reasonable salsa opinions (and I don't actually like a lot of Texas-style salsas). A lot of places don't have good salsa up here in the PNW though.

I bought some Newman's Own peach salsa because it looked like the best thing the small grocery store had.

This was a mistake.

It tastes like peach jelly with a hint of spicy tomato. Way, way too sweet. 3/10 would not salsa again.

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town ahah :D
