That's reasonable - statistically speaking, most things are probably more our fault than yours. ;P

To avoid this, we leave our inner door open and have the candy in a bowl on a little plinth.The kids would have to get around the candy to get to the doorbell, which they obvs don't do. The outer door is glass, so we can still see 'em. Clearly, not everyone has this option, but it works for us. 😀

have you ever created a video game mod to make characters "look better" (whatever that means to you)? i want to talk to you for an article i'm writing! get at me via maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com. or repost this if it's not you and you just wanna help me spread the word. thanks <3

The US should be celebrating the life's work of the activist who worked tirelessly to promote the rights of trans people, especially Black trans women.

Not celebrating a white supremacist who wasted his life arguing with people much younger than him against the rights of all those minorities.

That's the whole damn list. Nice job.

Tbh, that's probably the best possible outcome as adverse side effects go. 😅

This is so true - I feel like more than half of any creative process is just deciding where/what the guardrails are.

Dudes would rather type an *actually embarrassing screed* about a *perceived embarrassment* than go to therapy.

Oh, also, shameless plug, but I wrote a Muderbot Diaries inspired record. If you're interested in giving it a shot, it's pinned on my profile. ;)

When they end, long running stories like that (whether they're text, audio, or movies/shows) always feel like losing a "third space" to me. Like... ughh... where do I go to *live* now?

This is because of randos responding to your posts in annoying ways, isn't it...

*blermps into another fruit fly at full speed and zags off into the drain*

Where do you even start? Is it taxonomy, or is developing one the whole point? Are the classifications totally context dependent? Partially? Are generalized, meaningful abstractions even possible? How do you know when to stop abstracting? Is your job an oroborous on a merry-go-round in a trenchcoat?

I don't know you, but I know this is a big deal; my partner is a writer, and I know (at least secondhand) how hard this is. Congratulations from a rando!

TMNT was right… 🐢 🐈‍⬛

I kinda agree with you, but this also feels a *little* gatekeepy maybe? I dunno.

What if someone buys an electropunk sample pack, and makes cheesy 70's elevator music with it? Is that even moar punk?

*yoink*

Triple Click Live was SO FUN. I couldn't have asked for a better night, and am still emotionally recovering.

Thanks to everyone who came out! Let's do it again sometime!! 🎶🎮🎤

One of the great tragedies of my life will be having missed this. What awesome idea, I hope y'all do it again sometime when I can travel to experience it myself!

Well... let's hope it works out for you on the other end.

FYI: The Murderbot sountrack by Amanda Jones is for sale on iTunes, etc, and includes the title track and the theme to Sanctuary Moon!

OMG... Well, at least you figured it out!

Anytime I'm working on *similar* stuff, I usually see this kind of behavior, and it's always because of some weird pathing thing.

I highly doubt this is the problem for yours jumping a cell; I know this pain, though. 😉

Was it like a little lighthouse in your soul? I mean, not to put to fine a point on it.

Happy Birthday, internet friend!

This is interesting; is it because you look at words all day and just don't wanna see more of 'em, you're bad at them, so good at them that they just become non-games to you, or some other reason?

(I'm a musician who doesn't like rhythm games; it's because I just don't find them interesting.)

It's bittersweet symphony, that's liiIIfe...

I'm tangentially familiar from podcasts and such, but looking at (what I assume is) an actual conversation written with it is wild!
