My fish died over the weekend and so far I have ugly cried 3 times.

I've been taught that my behaviour is silly and I should feel ridiculous. To that I say, no, fuck that. A life isn't any less precious just because it's small.

I miss my counter buddy.

Was pre-screening Cardcaptor Sakura for the youngest child unit (for appropriateness or whatever responsible parent reason) and half way through the third episode...

Ok. I'm pretty sure the brother is gay, and his friend is a bit more than a friend, and Sakura's friend totally has a thing for her.

My gaydar is blaring like mad.

Approved!

Today's #Fallout adventure in a nutshell:

In 2 hours I made my character then shot some rats.

@Bit_form Yeah. I played it once before in like 2007 (never finished it) and don't remember anything, so it's basically blind.

I haven't touched Fallout (1) since about 2007 when I played it on an old 486 laptop, and I never finished it.

I think I'm going to revisit it... and record it... and beat it... yeah. That sounds like fun.

Hey people, what is the difference between the normal game and the Archaeologist Edition? Both are on sale for right now and I can’t decide which to buy.

Gwendolyn,
@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe avatar

@greene Don't have it (yet), but I noticed that additional DLC is advertised on the base game, but not on the listing for the Archaeologist Edition, so I'm assuming it's the game with its DLC included.

(After a little searching)
I came across a page here that seems to confirm that.

Hey! Just because someone you really like says something, doesn't mean you should just accept it as truth out of hand.

I've seen several cases recently of generally really smart and reasonable people echoing blatant lies, either just because they didn't like the targets or the claims were just really bad and they don't want to be seen as "supporting" the bad thing being claimed.

Question, question, question! Hell, I question my own thoughts as I'm saying them. You should too.

@cheapshark I enjoyed Dreamscaper. It's not amazing, but it's charming and definitely worth a few bucks if you like roguelikes.

Hrm. All of my "guy" hoodies have shallow hoods where the front of my head always kinda pokes out a bit. My "gal" hoodies always have deep hoods that I can escape deep into and pretend I'm Death.

Is this "a thing" or just a weird quirk of my wardrobe?

Gwendolyn,
@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe avatar

@un_blaze Interesting. Ugh. What's the point of having a hood that barely even covers your head? It's like the women's pockets of menswear

On places like Twitter I still have people that doubt I'm as technical as I am, simply because I'm a trans woman.

Gwendolyn,
@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe avatar

@lwflouisa Sounds like you're surrounded by cishets or some kind of out of touch group. Being technical is basically a trans woman stereotype at this point.

Okay... episode 2 of #Fallout was much better at getting me interested. Yeah. I'll watch this.

First thoughts on Fallout. (Keeping things vague to avoid spoiling things)

I... don't love it? Like... it's done well, but I just don't feel invested. I don't know if it's the pace, or if the tone just conflicts with what I'm in the mood for right now, but I don't feel like I got enough of a hook for me to care. Naturally, being me, I was excited to follow Lucy's story... but her motivation just feels... I dunno. It's not working for me.

I'm much more interested in the other two characters' stories as of right now.

I know they had a lot of groundwork to do. You can't assume everyone's played the games, so you have to establish the setting and the premise for people, and you don't want to have the whole first episode be nothing but the Vault, so you've got to cram a whole lot into a short period of time to get people going.

The only thing that was kinda glaring to me was that those slow motion sequences in the first conflict do not do the show any favours. Like... the slow-mo with the classic music is great for this weird dissonant vibe, but it also reveals the strings in a bunch of the action scenes. Like, you can tell someone's aiming to miss someone with a [weapon], or someone swings, and then you can track their eyes looking where their target is supposed to fall and them stepping out of the way to let the other actor fall on their mark.

I'm going to give it another episode, and hopefully it'll have a better hook by then, or maybe I'll be in a mood that's more receptive to what it's offering. It mostly just made me want to play Fallout instead of watching it.

Musically it feels like something I've heard before, but it's still a pretty badass track. Then again... I'll go crazy for anything involving Icon For Hire.

@BlueBlasphemy Oh! I'm a freak. I love that nu-metal shit. I know it's musical trash, but it just scratches an itch so good for me.

People always wondering why I'm depressed/stressed/anxious/whatever.

They're all in denial, or perform some form of denialism. I see a problem, I see things that are uncomfortable, whether they affect me or not, and I don't look away. I accept that those things are shit and I want to confront them.

I've found that most people (I've encountered) just can't handle that discomfort. They ignore and evade these things. They come up with reasons they can dismiss them. "It doesn't affect me" is the most common. They'll kick it down the road, sweep it under the rug, but they will not just sit in that discomfort and allow it to become part of their world view.

So, Super-Happy-Go-Lucky-People, maybe I'd be able to relax if you gave a shit about shit and we could spread the concern amongst multiple people instead of just putting it all on the shoulders of us who don't like living in a lie.

Hrm.
Sign up for an Amazon Prime trial to watch Fallout for free, and maintain some sense of "moral superiority"; or torrent it and also see it for free, but feel icky?

Ok. With Korra in Fortnite, and re-opening wounds from the first time I tried to watch that show (how dramatic!), I think I'm gonna try and rewatch that show again... try to enjoy it.... (and probably fail)... and torture you all with my thoughts on a decade old show.

Gwendolyn,
@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe avatar

Korra S02E11

I dunno. I just feel like Bolin's complete betrayal of Mako is so... WTF? Maybe I got the wrong impression from him in the first season, but it seems wrong for him. He visits Mako in jail and is all like "Sucks that you're guilty of crime. Here, have a poster of me"

Varrick is great. Hate the guy, but that's because he's a great villain character.

I love how they lean into the cheesiness of old movies with the propaganda film. Fun to watch.

The back half of this episode was fun to watch. Bolin's fight being sync'd up with the "mover" in the background was a cool touch.

Apparently Korra's memory is messed up and now she doesn't remember her fight with Mako. I have a feeling that's going to be very "convenient" for some other convoluted story point later.

I liked this one. It wasn't fantastic, but definitely watchable. I think the railroading was minimal, so things felt a bit more natural.
