679I 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

I’m really hoping that I can get into GW2 because by the sound of it it’s way better than WoW private servers for socializing - just because it has a horizontal progression system so you don’t have to worry about being at exactly the same {level / progression tier}
so it might be a good hangout game for me and my partners/friends

kasdeyaugh I just tried to log into my old Guild Wars 2 account that I haven’t touched in like 10 years, and it turns out it was locked because of some security thing, so I had to find their hidden support email address and hopefully they’ll unlock it for me

all this to say: I fucking hate Christmas and I hate having it shoved down my throat every year. I hate the music, I hate the decorations, I hate the Salvation Army, I hate being confronted by Christianity even more than usual, and most of all I hate being forced to buy and receive gifts every single year

Christmas culture is a particularly nasty form of consumerism because:
- instead of buying products for yourself, you’re buying them for someone else, so you’re even less equipped than usual to determine if the products you’re buying will be put to use or if they will go to waste
- this also means that you’re even more susceptible to marketing and scams, because you may not understand exactly what you’re buying or what is wanted
- consider also that if the giftee really wanted whatever gift the gifter is buying them, they would have already bought it for themselves. the only time this isn’t true is when the gifter is willing/able to spend more money than the giftee, which is not a good dynamic either
- Christmas culture shames people for giving gifts that were not bought from a store (like used/secondhand gifts), which of course increases waste and funnels money to corporations
- Christmas culture shames people for not participating in Christmas culture, so you must engage in the consumerism or you will be socially punished
- the very nature of this type of toxic consumerist gift exchange is that people will spend money that they wouldn’t have spent otherwise, and then receive gifts of roughly equal value (and these gifts are almost always things that they would not have bough for themselves). so the end result is that people spend money in order to get corporate products that they don’t need and likely don’t want either. the only ones who win in this situation are the corporations
of course all of this toxic holiday culture was created by - and is actively maintained by - corporate marketing behemoths that do everything in their power to broadcast “it’s going to be fucking Christmas soon!! buy buy shop faster buy buy buy!!” in every way possible at once (this is why Christmas music is fucking inescapable for 45+ days before Christmas)
people think the Japanese KFC thing is funny but Americans are so much more brainwashed than that and it can be viscerally upsetting to me

kasdeya@nordicnefilim woahh I just looked this up and apparently that was a thing on the ZX Spectrum! that’s so interesting. it reminds me of the keyboards that had HJKL as movement keys - which is where a lot of CLI Linux software gets that from
and I’m glad that you were interested! for some reason I’m strangely fascinated by ways to “improve efficiency” (even if it’s probably just bikeshedding at best, and throwing away perfectly good muscle memory at worst) and I like exploring weird novelty control schemes like this hehe
that’s probably why I also enjoy using Vim/Neovim and playing games like Receiver 2 and Hideous Destructor which have an unworkable number of keybinds lol

I wanna give a huge shoutout to the postal service here having a free parcel locker service. When I'm caring for my granddad up the mountain we're too far away from town to get the post delivered and because of these lockers I'm still able to get my medication. And it's free
This is the sort of service that helps vulnerable folx in a whole number of really critical ways and I'm so grateful for it ❤️

kasdeyaI just learned about FRED as an alternative to WASD and it’s actually got me slightly tempted to try it
the idea is that in a game’s keybinds, you set:
E: move forward
D: move back
R: move left
F: move right
that way you only have two fingers dedicated to the movement keys, instead of 3 like with WASD. also because your fingers are more centrally located on the keyboard, you can press a lot more keys a lot more easily
with WASD the only keys that I can press while moving in any arbitrary direction using WASD, are: Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, LCtrl, Space, Alt
but with FRED I can be moving in any arbitrary direction and also press: Q, W, A, S, Z, X, 1, 2, Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, LCtrl, Space, Alt
