#TIL: What "asmr" stands for.

That's... not at all what I'd inferred from decontectualized social-media uses of the term.

Seated and head down reading from my phone, a nearby stranger calls me "young lady". He "corrects" as soon as I lift my head and he sees my face, I'm certainly not passing; still, it felt nice. I suppose that clinches it; this is real.

#dysphoria

(Unexpectedly, 🥄 seems to be an actual Unicode emoji and not a local thing, so that's probably not originally relevant to that particular meaning. Then again, if we were only allowed to use emoji for their original literal meaning, there's lots that would go basically unused -- looking at you, 🍆 )

Just found the Just found and 🥄 icons, and I have to wonder -- how widespread is the #spoons #disability metaphor? Based on how often I see it, it feels like it's densely known in specific communities and completely absent elsewhere. Does that match others' experiences?

Seriously considered staying up for the Skyward Sword run, but it's late enough already. Anyone know whether it's likely to be particularly worth watching in VOD?

Painted shoe!
(Other shoe waiting until I get past "questioning" on gender)

Tired: Cheers
Wired: Contratululations

I've just noticed the similarity between "skivvies" and "civvies". There's probably a pun here but I'm not sure what it is.

Finally got something that... exists! My first thing in #GodotEngine; I'm not sure if this pace is slow-going or not. It's going to be a puzzle-game similar to Bejeweled, and also similar to Bookworm, and also similar to mazes.

(the "temperature" theme will be embodied in a scoring/combo system, but I need to get something minimally playable before I even think about touching that)

#godot3 #gamedev #gamejam

I've just had a nice realization:

I can make an egg cream *any time I want*.

Probably says something about the inside of my head. Hard to pin down what.

Don't know what brought it to mind, but nearly all of my #TTRPG characters have unintentionally fit one mold: They'd quite like to be people, but can't manage it.

The Changeling Totemist whose personality is set by their current shape. The thing-from-beyond playing the role of long-lost cousin, who honestly believes everyone else is just acting too. The sapient Major Image, trying to fit in without being caught never touching anything. The Alchemical Exalt without their human-life knowledge.

I keep telling myself to start working on something more productive in my free time than sitting-around-reading-the-Internet... and it's not working. I've got ideas (art, gamedev) but have a lot of trouble starting or sticking to things without external deadlines.

Anyone got any motivation #advice ?

Finally took my books out of the bin and lined them up!

#books #sf #fantasy #artbook #gameing covers... Most of it.

Pitas! #bread #baking
(Two that I didn't roll thin enough were basically English muffins. Still tasty.)

Look what I found at Goodwill!

(If it looks too good to be true, it probably is: the box has the fan in it, but no CPU. Even so, I might be able to make a little arbitrage.)

(I also got a GameCube for $10, but no cables to run it)

Or a balance scale with weights, or a three-beam, for baking, except there's no practical justification for those when digital are more accurate, faster, and cheaper.

Is it weird that I want to learn to paint mostly for the excuse to own an easel? That, and photography for a tripod. I think it's the same part of me that feels satisfaction from typing fast on mechanical keyboards.
