@Austin_Dern Nah, I'm gonna try to be Ghost Dog about this and accept that the fistful of quarters era has come to an end. It's still sad to see it go, though. I made some really good single-serving friends in that particular arcade.

(Side note that you might appreciate in a way most couldn't: one of the minor inspirations for the structure of Parallax? The Gemini coaster(s), bless their dual hearts. <3 )

Read through a bunch of old Tapestries logs on a random whim.

Huh. I really was one of the originals, I guess. I don't know if postfurry really affected a damn thing, but we sure beat the rest of the fandom to where it was already headed.

I should have had a pizza waiting for 'em, or something, when they arrived here in the future. Oh, well.

I wrote some real weird shit about some real weird ways to connect with people, y'all. (Surprisingly non-sexual, most of it?)

@Balina Moof has some good priorities. <3

@Austin_Dern Oh, man. That was a gorgeous collection, especially that old electromechanical stuff. I am verklempt-- coatis, get some coffee and talk amongst yourselves. :|

@Austin_Dern Is that their old arcade hall? I'm gonna cry, here...

@Austin_Dern I know Hercules! End of an era, man.

@Cerulean From the official site:

So there's no pressure to come join us, but PLEASE don't worry about being unwelcome. You're exactly the sort of person they want: someone who wants a kinder, gentler, more woman-friendly fandom. <3

@Cerulean Listen, if I can go minion for Peg tomorrow with two weeks of beard scruff, you'll be just fine. I've heard it's a fairly laid-back environment? Come say hi if you do make it. <3

I think these dekotora are the tackiest things I've ever loved.

@troodon I mean, we freaked out too. :) That's one of the reasons I find leftist pop culture from the 70s and 80s so reassuring -- they were every bit as convinced as we are that their enemies were irredeemably evil and unstoppable, and we were all totally screwed. (On the other hand, compare that to right-wing panic artists like Morton Downey, Jr., the PMRC, Anita Bryant, who WERE pretty much evil, and pretty much got righteously stomped by history...)

Oh, shit. I keep forgetting that many of you are a lot younger than me, and have no recollection of the pre-Gorbachev world.

Oh, yeah, doom is okay. You get used to it, and then you wake up one day and-- one way or the other-- it's over.

I know not everybody can share my fatalism. But I'm not gonna lie: it's good over here. You should try it. We have absolutely no idea how any of this will actually shake out, and we were all headed to the same place anyhow.

I want to make Peggy animate Parallax in this style, with live amateur actors wearing animal kigu.

You know what I'm really in the mood for tonight? A long friendly chat about gender... with a space alien. Or a Solomon Islander. Or a squid. Or someone, something, anything that hasn't got a gigafuckme of contorted, overgrown political and cultural baggage surrounding the topic.

But I'd also kinda pity them for having to put up with *mine*.

*shrugs and rolls a big rock at @anthracite's feet* Kwek. 🐧​

TIL the term "crosshairs" derives from the use of actual hair strands in reticules. Huh.

This has been one of those days where I feel like I should be getting weight-gain related hazard pay for all the restaurants I have to look at during the day. -_-

I would basically scrag half of you right now for a Scottish munchie box with pakora. -_-

@mmsword I was thinking especially the "mizu" style clear ones, that are pretty much all agar and water! I'd never turn down a dango or something. ^_^
