Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, a thing I just found on Twitter 

@socks this is absolutely accurate

i can already tell

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, a thing I just found on Twitter 

@socks what in the actual heck

w-wha... this is extremely cool!

it's acid-techno, composed procedurally! it's even does little techno progressions if you listen to it for a bit~

@cinnamon nah. i just forgot to turn my proxy off, and closed the ssh connection providing it (and then didn't realize that's what was happening after trying to open twitter)

might fuck around and turn the "emotionally heavy" spaces i'm a steward of into opt-in instead of opt-out zones

that's how consent works, and these spaces really should have been that way from the start

@noiob (and yeah, the timing for this is pretty great, hee)

@noiob that's the thing though! it didn't stand out for me either, and after i started noticing it, it seemed like nobody else did

i think it started to really sink in for me when i heard justin mcelroy say it for probably the thirtieth time in The Besties, and then noticed it wasn't just a justin thing when it was also in a fake magazine cover by action button

and then, i just kinda started noticing it everywhere, like i'd just stepped into a time vortex of this previously invisible in-joke

it has some real "come and get it" energy in how i see the phrase used in ironic contexts all the time, but it's also impossible to pinpoint any examples of it because of its sheer popularity outside of them

except, in this case, the only people who use the phrase ironically seem to almost exclusively be the people it's parodying

it's like a little self-aware joke where the only people who realize it exists are the ones telling it

is there anything else like that?

obsessed with the phrase "we've come a long way since pac-man"

it's like a game reviewer meme, but if you search it up, the only results are ones using it in earnest

it's gonna be cool when i get used to plan 9 because it will mean i have even more extraordinarily-niche muscle memory i can't use anywhere else to add to my collection

@SerenaBeancatte@chitter.xyz sue! suuuuue!

(this rules btw)

@matthilde@lgbt.io this is super-late, but oooh! congratulations ^^

i learned about this though a tilde, and i'm really digging the whole aesthetic; it looks like you've done a really nifty job!

@cinnamon practically speaking, that means that even when i have the chance to interact with my kinks, i'll gladly do that--but i won't really know what to do beyond that

it also means that, because i interact with a lot of these things on a more passive level, i don't feel particularly strong urges to do things...and instead usually just end up thinking about my obsession du jour instead

but i'm also convinced that would change drastically if someone managed to conjure up the right aesthetics
