software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

in my experience there’s an optimal amount of effort for doing tasks. if I feel stressed, rushed, or strained while doing a task, that means I’m putting in too much effort - which is just as bad for the quality of my work as too little effort

I’m trying to learn to:

  • recognize when I need a break - or even take breaks pre-emptively
  • recognize when I’m putting in too much effort and deliberately slow myself down and/or make the task easier

reminder that to “try your best” doesn’t mean to strain yourself. it means to take the task seriously. when “trying your best” it’s still important to:

  • work at a reasonable, sustainable pace
  • set definite end points to any work that you do (“I’ll read one chapter”, “I’ll finish refactoring this function”, etc.)
  • take frequent breaks
  • take a moment to appreciate your work whenever you finish a task

lazygit is so fucking good. I can’t believe I’m only trying it now

I’m learning stuff that I never really understood about git just from playing with its interface. I bet learning to use this would be a fantastic way to learn git in general

My GF just did a boudoir photo shoot at it came out amazing. She loved how the photographer made her feel, and said the whole thing was super gender affirming. Also, the photos came out incredibly hot. Here is a taste, but if you want to see more you can sign up for her fansly: https://fansly.com/Molly_Pocket

@celestia this art definitely got me interested in the game! so I’d say it’s doing its job (it’s also cute and vibey 💙)

it makes me super happy to finally be able to show the capsule / box art as well as a name reveal for Iris Blade! the next game of my little studio, the one you've likely seen me share around here bunhdhappy

the art was made by kali, same artist who did the capsule for carrot survivors. you can find her on instagram @Kalisdr_art. she's done art for other games, and if you enjoy the style, I'm told commissions are now open!! hammyeyes

for those curious, you can find a bit more details in the official announcement: https://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?p=42#p42

hi, gentle reminder to CW things so you don't retraumatise the already marginalised and traumatised, and so you don't do fascists job for them by robbing us of mental energy~ hug_love

(I can also swear in interesting ways if that would get things across better frog_blush please leave any requests for the sweary version in the replies~)

p.s. nobody cares how "important" your thing is if it's being shoved down their already tired throats~ cat_sip

p.p.s. whatever you just thought of, not even that

p.p.p.s. yes, even if you're marginalised

p.p.p.p.s. no, that marginalisation doesn't get a special pass

also! here’s a trick that I’ve learned for quests that you’re unsure about:

  • accept the quest, then skip past all the dialog
  • read a summary of the quest in your quest log
  • if it sounds interesting, abandon the quest and you can read the dialog again!
  • if not, skip past all of the dialog for that quest

FFXIV sidequests are almost exactly how WoW quests are except they’re often a little bit better-written and I think that’s pretty cool actually

I do like the sidequests in FFXIV though! because:

  • I get to very granularly choose what I’m interested in and what I’m not
  • there’s a lot of combat! there aren’t too many “go talk to this guy. now talk to this guy. now travel across the planet and talk to this guy. now travel back again and talk to this guy” quests
  • if I’m bored by some quest text, I can skip it and I won’t be confused about any of the other quest text (unlike the MSQ which I couldn’t understand if I tried at this point lol)
  • the stories aren’t about me, the stakes are low, and nothing is trying to be an emotional rollercoaster. it’s a very comfy experience
  • I get to learn about the world and its cities and cultures and people!
