Also, completely unexpected from an exploration/survival game, Subnautica has an great sense of humor.

The game is made much stronger by using a fixed map instead of being purely random/procedural. It helps the pacing a whole lot.

Now that I'm farther in, I can say that Subnautica is an exceptional game. It has a knack for opening up new stuff to see right as you think you've found most of what there is at a given tech level.

Wow, here I am in Mastodon! The Silicon Peach! The Paris of the Internet!

Gosh, I may be a simple, bright-eyed farm girl from downtown Toronto with nothing but a pocket full of toonies and a head full of dreams, but something tells me I can really make something of myself here!

it's also important to understand that there can be different types of chairs for different activities.

wheelchairs for sport like basketball or dancing often sacrifice all but the bare minimum for maximum lightness – because once again, these are not intended as fulltime chairs.

some manual chairs get converted into power chairs by attaching motors on the spokes of the tyres, and you push like normal instead of with a joystick.

many attach a large front tyre for offroad purposes.

reminder that if you're drawing a fulltime wheelchair user character – draw them in an "active user wheelchair" (googling that will get you pictures) or power chair.

folding chairs like in hospitals and shops are ONLY intended for temporary transport from place to place – NOT full time use. there are many aspects of them which will injure you if you self-propel fulltime.

characters should only be using temporary chairs fulltime if, eg, money is an issue for them in the story.

@Aradia@mastodon.social can you re-link me that most recent video you made? I might not get to it tonight but I at very least want it bookmarked.

anyway I read it like five years ago and still think about it sometimes (clearly) so maybe that's worth something?

Or, maybe another way of phrasing it: I think it succeeds as a book, but I'm not sure I'm entirely on board with what it succeeds at.

I have complicated feelings about The Magicians (book) because it does pretty well with a couple of the core themes but also is kind of a mess and has a whole lot of gross stuff even beyond what the author included deliberately.

@benhamill@witches.town the phrase "late stage capitalism" has been in use for well over 100 years :/

Just to weigh in, if _any_ system you're using has "private" messages and they're not end-to-end encrypted (few are, and even fewer are competently), _someone_ has access to all of those messages.

The way I see it, knowing your admin on a Mastodon instance is a win. You don't get that option with any commercial social network.
