bring back the “unstoppable muscly badass” genre of action movie except with female protagonists
A Realm Reborn’s main story is what you would get if you told ChatGPT to generate a 30-hour fantasy shounen with as many fetch-quests as possible
I’m officially in Heavensward! I have also acquired the Heavensword (the starting Dark Knight two-hander)
I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

"the novelization of angry birds"
“I… I’d like to oo join… You” I stammer nervously to the drone, it’s standing at the reception desk motionless, sleak black skin, balancing on tip toes with out any apparent effort. It’s face like a smooth obsidian carving, no hair, just a complicated looking arrangement of vents and ports where it’s mouth would have been,
“Do you have your driving license or passport?”
“Yes” I nod in confirmation, holding up my passport,
“Down there please. Door with the lights on. “ the drone standing at the front desk says. Indicating with its hand, its voice like an early 90 voice generation system.
I walk down the sleak white corridor away from the reception desk, the walls glossy smooth like plastic coated rather than painted. No one else is around, no drones, no people, no sound, just my shoes on the hard floor.
Up ahead I see a door frame glowing a rotating rainbow of lights. I smile. I’m nervous but also excited, like walking up to a new lover’s door for the first time.
Unlike the other white doors I’ve passed the one with the lights on is open when I get to it. A small room awaits, a little table with a keyboard and a screen on the left but that’s it. I walk in. The door closes behind me and the computer screen lights up.
Welcome displays in big letters for a few seconds before being replaced with Do you wish to join us? a blinking text prompt under it, like a console window.
I type yes on the keyboard. It doesn’t change, I realise I need to press enter.
Are you sure you wish to become a drone in the European hive?
I type yes again. Pausing a moment before pressing enter. Am I sure I want this? I slam my finger down on the enter key, yeah I’m really fucking sure.
Please enter your name
I type in my name, it then asks for my date of birth and passport number.
Please confirm you wish to give up your humanity and become one of us? Confirm you understand there is no coming back from this. The procedure is irriversable.
I type yes again. I smile as I tap the enter key. I hear something behind me. A hatch has opened in the wall. I glance back at the screen, Place your clothes in the box I gulp realising that the drone I’d seen on reception was technically naked. I pull my clothes off and shove them in to the hole in the wall along with my shoes. My underwear goes in last. I feel a little nervous as I turn back to the screen completely naked.
I hear the box close behind me, then another one open. Place your passport in the box I turn and do so. It feels much more final than typing yes on the keyboard. This is me giving up the record of myself. I take a deep breath before letting go of the paper, card, and electronics that to the governments of the world proves that I am who they thought.
Welcome to the hive 860523 I smile again, “Eight six zero, five two three” I say to myself reading the number off the screen. The wall next to me, opposite the door slides up.
There is a step up to a platform below a rail system. A cart hangs from it, over the platform. Two padded cuffs, one on each side facing the room. Place your wrists in the cuffs. They will close automatically. This will begin your processing. I look at the cart there is a bar to hold on to as well as the cuffs. Given the track extends last the platform I guess I’m going to be dangling from this.
I reach up and grab the bar. The cuffs close and lock with a satisfying click. The platform drops under my feet leaving me dangling. The lights in the room go out, leaving me in the dark as the cart moves.
form-fitting bodysuits are so hot tbh. you can be fully clothed and still look practically naked, and the bodysuit can draw attention to just the right parts, and tantalizingly obscure others
I’m not into latex at all but I think I get it because in a way latex is just a shiny bodysuit
Mouse has been a bit jumpy the past couple of days.
Flip it over, put a flashlight on it, and there it is: Hair across the optical sensor.
If your mouse is being a bit unexpectedly jumpy, turn it over and check for stray hairs over the optical sensor.
hey just as a reminder, if you’re posting or boosting something that is meant to create strong negative emotions in the reader, please be sure to give it a CW that gives folks a good idea of what they’re going to be seeing
by “strong negative emotions” I’m talking about outrage, fear, a sense of vulnerability or danger, empathy for others’ suffering, a sense of injustice or unfairness, or any other emotion one might expect to feel about Current Events
IMO it doesn’t matter what the post is about (it could be about drama in some obscure hobby, or something happening on GitHub, or anything else) it’s about the emotions that that post is meant to create. that’s an important thing for folks to be able to opt into or out of explicitly
adding CWs for this kind of post will help everyone have a much more comfortable Fedi browsing experience
Unfollowing doomposters (and this includes news and journalistic institutions/organizations) can do wonders for your mental health + can also equip you better to handle world problems in a better way and be able to help people around you who are struggling.
Doomscrolling overloads your nervous system into extreme survival mode, which leads to a dissociative state - you don't deserve or need to be in that state at all times.
Just my two cents.
Always trying to channel Mr Rogers 😄

Never ask what the difference between a violin and a fiddle is, you won't get a straight answer.
As far as I can tell, they are functionally the same instrument. A fiddle may be constructed with folk music in mind over classical music, but mostly it's a difference in context, not in the nature of the instrument. Basically it's a fiddle if the player is wearing a cowboy hat and a violin if the player is wearing a suit jacket or a cocktail dress.
“metamour” sounds more like a competitive pokemon term than it does a polyamory term
Ya'll, we need to stop misconstruing "does nothing to help you" with "gives you full control".
If I buy a computer and it comes as a spool of wire and some transistors, I don't have "full control" over my computer, I don't have a computer.
If I have to build the components and the tools from scratch, you haven't given me control, you've given me nothing. Control implies having pieces I can configure or knobs to adjust, not having to make the controls myself just to have anything at all.
