@zoe birthday, happy~ ^^
re: Masto Android Apps gripes
@noiob this probably isn't surprising, but it also lacks being able to pick focus points in pictures so the thumbnails of my drawings don't do psychic damage to me when i post them
that's actually the same things that made tusky a deal breaker for me
i do kinda like how it feels! but it really has a long way to go before i'd probably even consider using it
@m455 oh yeah! it feels wonderful to be able to use lisp for customization~
but also yuuuuup! emacs also definitely has a lot of extremely unusual opinions if you aren't already completely submerged in them
@codl at this point, i'm most curious about the intersection of personality traits that would lead someone to think "ah yes, this surely isn't going to be an utterly bizarre interaction"
@dexiheart yuuuuup, there's definitely a confidence aspect to it
i guess it's pretty natural to lean on the opinions of others when you aren't confident in your own–but that also means that it can be pretty easy to justify ignoring how things work differently for you, and that's always a disaster
it's really hard to tell when things that make your creativity unique are shining through vs not just lacking important context–after all, you can't get external confirmation for something so internal
@dexiheart oh, absolutely!
it's always just interesting when that relationship goes squarely against the advice of people who are much better than i am
it means that i internalize advice i don't really feel quite a lot because the people who gave it to me know a lot more than i do, and "what if my instincts are secretly bad habit pitfalls?"
(this thought is brought to you by trying to do linework in pencil crayon, doing experimental coloring with gel pen, extremely disliking the result, and not being able to play around with it at all to find out what would work better)
sometimes people tell i should try to draw in more permanent mediums because committing to lines and being more okay with drawing badly helps with being creative
but i find in practice the opposite seems to be true?
like, being able to erase and experiment with 90 different things quickly has been a lot more informative and fun for seeing what works, and what doesn't
if i try to draw with things i can't tweak, i just draw worse and try less since each experiment takes so much more effort
hee. i got some gel pens a while ago, and i'm still figuring out how to use them tastefully
it's nice being able to have more bold colors for lines though!
@codl snivy are precious~
re: terraria
@cinnamon it's true, if i don't have space to dodge, aggro is basically a death sentence
i might just carry both in my inventory to use depending on the amount of space we have to work with, so i can switch between UnHoLy DpS and "keep everyone alive" modes
re: terraria
@cinnamon yeah! i will end up doing a lot less magic damage, but i literally just need to change my headgear to play angy-healer
re: terraria
@cinnamon oh wait! it looks like spectre armor converts magic damage to healing for the player with the lowest health!
maybe that would combine well..?
re: terraria
@cinnamon oh what, that's a thing??
also yeah, that sounds like an extremely tank setup in rpg terms, though i don't know how that would work in the absence of a healing class
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
