Friend of ours just described us as having the goal of "being reborn into draconic majesty and cybernetic grace" and.

Extremely yes. that is a very succinct way of describing our goals.

so @chr finished up an early hatchday present for us and, it's exactly the mood boost we needed atm.

Thank you so, so so much khr.

we're just so

atm heeeeck

all the little details are perfect like the color mixing on the heart module and our eye colors n stuff it's. Absolutely perfect.

Be Gay. Do Crimes. ACAB. Stonewall was a Riot.

look at this *absolutely fucking amazing* work done by @fluxom_art seriously Lo you did such a good job aaaa

making this my new icon :3

aaaah and now it's more detailed and colored and I'm aaaaaaing so much

...there's a... not great chance our grandma is gonna make it through tonight/tomorrow. Shame we're not praying critters anymore b/c at least that would leave us feeling like we're doing ...something.

We're exhausted. Irritable. ready to explode at the slightest pressure, as our gfs can attest. Everything is happening at once, and after the hell that was last year and the hell that has been this year so far, we're not sure how much more we have in us. And that was before this bit of bad news. We'd already spent a large chunk of the last few months feeling... existential dread and fear, and this is just poking right at that same sore spot.

and not only lost sight of the goal but also lost the ability to design levels aren't extremely painful

sigh

ever run into one of those games where it feels like the dev lost sight of any sort of goal halfway through the game?

We're always afraid. Of asking too much. So much of our past trauma involves... the results of us being unable to read what other people are implying. Are we bothering someone? We don't know. And then the RSD sets in and of course we're bothering them the fact that they haven't said they're bothered doesn't mean anything to that little nagging thought.

We loathe smartphone design so much. We have no choice but to use something we absolutely hate

Why eat the rich when you can have more fun defenestrating them

so much of this game's design actively punishes you for using a controller instead of mouse and keyboard

the auto-winch feature is so garbage. it seems to prioritize either the last object you were winched to (which is often exactly what you *don't* want to winch to) and objects in physical proximity over objects that you are actually aiming at.

why yes, I wanted that crane winch to attach to the the truck I'm trying to load cargo into instead of the cargo that is directly below the crane, literally being touched by the crane's attachment guide.

why yes, I wanted the auto-winch to hit a tree behind my truck and completely stall it in the middle of a fast moving river instead of grabbing the tree I'm aiming at on the other side of the river

why yes, when I try to manually select winch points I want it to start at some random winch point instead of the one closest to the center of the camera view

anyone have a suggestion for a controller we can get? Need something for our PC, not likely to ever be used in any other circumstance, and absolutely not anything even adjacent to 8bitdo's garbage, we're trying to switch away from that nonsense

We've had a permanent brainfog for like a decade and a half now. Feels like we have to work way too hard just to exist. At some point in late middle school or early high school (so i guess during puberty) we just... Started falling apart. Were so tired of tiring out and losing focus instantly. So tired of not being able to enjoy things. So tired of being a burden. And unable to fix any of that

hey look we put cars in our voxel distruction sandbox

we also didn't bother to implement any sort of suspension for them so they ride like an inch above the ground and any variance in terrain at all will cause them to dig into the terrain, destroy themselves and the terrain, and get stuck.

btw you've got 60 seconds to get all these cars across the map and into a source of water and there's absolutely no even semi-flat path between most of them and the water.

I loathe games that make you play absolutely perfectly to 100% 'em

@g we've been called out. https://twitter.com/netflixfamily/status/1404438477563965442

also love how you can't download the game unless you have paid sub so you have to waste some amount of the limited game time you paid for downloading however many GB FFXIV is up to these days
