Y'know what's good? Emoji in display names.

@Vann@glitch.social ...that's a cool name for a thrash punk band actually.

Ten minutes into Subnautica: "oh shit I can't go over there. There's Stalkers over there, and they have really big teeth!"

Ten hours into Subnautica: "Oh, the Stalker I just waltzed past noticed me! I guess someone wants to say hi. Hi Stalker!"

@Vann@glitch.social crashfish nightmare.

@Efi :makes fusion reactor noises:

also, fuck the police.

me, whenever I reject a call from an unknown number: "But what if it's someone I know calling from jail and they need someone to bail them out?"

It's a weirdly specific anxiety.

@Jacel ahah :D

@Leucrotta So there's something about the ductility and malleability of silver that's just... special. I honestly don't know how to describe it :<

It does what you tell it to. It doesn't fight back but it doesn't wilt either.

Also it oxidizes way slower than copper, which is nice since oxide layers are bad for soldering.

@masklayer I dig it.

Also, if you haven't seen The Iron Giant, I can't recommend it enough. It's a sweet, charming film about paranoia and xenophobia in 1950s America.

This, unironically:

@Leucrotta There were actually two courses! The first was focused on small sculptural construction in silver. The second was a lost-wax casting course, primarily in bronze but you could do silver too if you wanted to pay for it.

@mawr I'm down! Super out of practice though, and I was never more than a student.

Also it's a lot of $$ for equipment, especially hot-working gear.

Now I see it as super clumsy compared to any half-profressional work.

But I made a gemmed silver jewelry, and that's pretty dang cool.

Maybe I'll wear my cast silver orobouros necklace out tonight.
