@monorail i think especially hard about accomplishing things some days

honest day's work

@nihilazo yeaaaah

it's actually kinda terrifying how much someone can do in bad faith if you find yourself in a place where they are actually motivated to do that

this is part of the reason why curating your spaces is important for reasons beyond protecting those around you and for your own mental health

@nihilazo gosh, between the near-absence of input, and the fact it's basically 100% text, an e-reader is actually kind of perfect for casually using gemini, huh?

scarves are the best!

i've never tried to draw them before, and i'm not sure how much i'll tweak this before i start coloring it, but i feel like i did a lot better than i was expecting here ^^

re: video game music (particularly gameboy) 

@karma oh wow

that slaps

birdsite embedding 

turns out, twitter timelines are actually a pretty-okay way to have dynamic galleries on static sites

like, check this out! archenoth.com/drawstuffs/

it's not perfect, but adding new stuff to this is extremely low-effort--and has less inertia for me than adding a bit of markdown to my jekyll repo whenever i put up something new

Pokemon gen with the best music?

i decided to actually do advent of code this year, which is a fantastic sign

it means i actually feel like casually writing code again

@nihilazo oh heck, i totally forgot the mcelroy thing was today!

personal 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it would be wonderful if my social life wasn't so thoroughly connected to the ebb and flow of my mind

but hey! maybe that just means i need to hang out more so that i don't feel like i'm out of place around as many people--because that feeling takes mental energy that i just sometimes don't have

personal 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yeaaaaaah. i kinda do this in bursts

it's like a cycle of
1) "i should get out there more" *does so*
2) "oh no, this is probably annoying" *retracts into obscurity*

it's honestly a miracle that anyone gets closer to me at all =w=

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oof yeah

this is partly why i basically take a millennium to reply with anything longer than a sentence--and i even meticulously reread those!

video of a game with trauma and oppressive topics, but also it's pokemon 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i haven't!

i mostly just heard mcelroys reference it a lot, but never really gave it much thought besides as "a thing i missed when it was made"

maybe i'll check it out~

video of a game with trauma and oppressive topics, but also it's pokemon 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yeah, that game is wild

i don't wanna spoil anything more, but it really does things. and actually, it hits me in ways literally nothing else has

video of a game with trauma and oppressive topics, but also it's pokemon 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! have you ever considered pokemon mystery dungeon: gates to infinity?

have a clip that's admittedly slightly spoily, but also gives a pretty good idea about the theme: youtube.com/watch?v=hwM8mKxC5n (timestamp in the url is important btw)

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yeaaaah, they're big ol annoying blobs now, so copying only grabs the first frame and getting the url fills your copy buffer with base64

handy

i've been making a habit of using duckduckgo's image search so that my muscle memory stops betraying me when i wanna send something
