Aerin ⚸ Night (or the ashen husk thereof)

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is against me. I suppose that's a good thing. It wouldn't be a fair fight otherwise. 😏

@AustenMarieTV *coughs, turns red, covers her face, and looks away* *then looks back* I- I'm fine...

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE TODAY! We finished the Eleanor sticker! Now to do Amir and Lettie. [HEX BEACH EPISODE AU WHERE NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED BUT EL STILL HAS HER TONGUE AND EYES] #warframe She'll be part of this month's sticker club!

@dimenpsyonal @Eauldane Yeah, this is why Americans are upset though—our govt subsidizes the hecc out of fossil fuel consumption. We're used to it being way cheaper, but the subsidies can't keep up with the record prices anymore.

This is hilariously cheap btw

@Pokket 💯, that's $64,000 / yr, or $5,300 / mo (before taxes, if invested and withdrawing only gains), plenty to cover almost all day-to-day bills without needing to work. I'll take being called ugly for the chance to check out of today's job market entirely, & fix shit on my own time.

They could call me ugly everyday for the rest of my life if they gave me $800k

@pinkchyu It's kind of a dream of mine, to be honest. 🥵

@omgchomp @Schezarade Ooooh, yeah I forgot the pressies are flimsier too.

if its my own actual nail its soo much easier to function, i could probably have them almost this long if it were my real nails. its bc its a fake nail that i dont want to put pressure on them and pop em off or worse (like i have currently done) catch them on something and bend in a way that rips my real nail underneath

i have literally never been so overstimulated by a set of nails in my life, how does anyone do this??

@michaelmiraflor I suppose survivor bias affects all of these, as you can fail out of being a doctor too, but at least the systems there *want* you to become a doctor. Social media platforms keep moving away from the idea of surfacing new talent in favor of the media empire they already control.

@michaelmiraflor Yeah, this makes sense. We don't really glorify teachers or medical professionals the way we do with social media personalities. Plus you basically can't get paid well as a teacher anymore, and while YT/TT is a gamble the biggest successes are given the airtime, skewing outlooks.

... is this really a sad chart? This is more of a reflection of the world as it is? More of a cause for reflection for Boomers and Millennials than anything. Right?

@unlearn16tweet @oelma__ Oh shit, everyone up on the countertops and don't get caught in the corner! 😂

@oelma__ Tremors

What comes to mind when you see this?

@cm0102plays @CassidyConwayUK @omgchomp People who are into the "villain aesthetic" love the hecc out of them. I wouldn't say they make many tasks easier, most marginally more difficult, but they're useful as permanent tape/plastic breakers, and feel really good for scritchies and head massages.

@CassidyConwayUK @omgchomp I don’t compute how false nails make a person look pretty, however I am more a personality person anyway, so I guess I pay zero attention to such things

@Schezarade @omgchomp ✅ Mounted a hard truck bed cover ✅ Counted change on a flat surface ✅ Done "spring cleaning" ✅ Moved houses (3x, they're *great* for breaking packing tape) ✅ Soldered microelectronics (they work like tweezers!) It's mostly just about finding new ways to use your fingers.

@Schezarade @omgchomp Mine are a little bit shorter, but not falsies so no chance of taking them off. I have successfully ✅ Typed on a keyboard (slows me down ~20%, mechanical KBs work best) ✅ Changed a tire ✅ Repaired a fence (2x) ✅ Washed dishes (w/e the dishwasher can't do) ✅ Built a catapult

@ws_cun @KarolusWangus On the knife, and then clip the TRex in the ankle every time it walks past the entrance. As long as the knife can break the skin, you can let infection take care of the rest.

@KarolusWangus Where will you poop?

I mean. By the end of a week it will be starved to death, and I will be in my invulnerable, well provisioned hut.

@dashase Obligatory joke about Hase posting Tits on main! To be fair, they're pretty Great Tits. :3

daily visitors <3

@pinkchyu I'm trying!! 😩 Unless... you wanna volunteer? . 🥺 👉👈

@ObiWanK95088527 @saltwatermp3 Well, as previously stated, all out of hope. I'm trying to find some other solution, but apathy and ignorance both suck. If you want me to hope, call me when a single person named in the Epstein Files is held accountable in the US.

@AerinNight @saltwatermp3 I would not advise it, no good comes from violence that does not also come without consequence. Spite is a dangerous double-edged sword that can poison your heart just as much as it can be a tool to carry on. Hope. Remember, "To seek something is to believe in its possibility."

@ObiWanK95088527 @saltwatermp3 I've run out of whimsy and hope; is spite and perverse desires to impale billionaires on spikes acceptable?

@ClaireMax "Appa, Nip-Nap!" 😴

@AlejoP_47 What's weirdest to me about that is, any Linux build would cost them less than Windows, and probably be easier to support if they have at least one IT guy willing to learn it. Also aren't Macs the "standard" dev laptops these days? I kinda hate 'em personally but oh well.

Honestly, I can't even judge because like, same, fuck Windows lol I hate Apple/Mac but I still prefer to use a Mac for work than having to deal with Windows, specially 11, for development in any capacity

@ElDavis06694807 @chapter1044 @im_Eba @1ssve Yeah, that's gonna hinge primarily on the type of game. Games with hundred hours of content and deep lore hidden everywhere aren't really comparable to, say, the modern first-person shooter, often with a story campaign shorter than the devs' average daily commute.

@chapter1044 @im_Eba @1ssve No indepth stories!? Frist the gameplay has story on It second there are games with like 12 hours of cutscenes

POPULAR OPINION: Video games are the highest form of modern art music, acting, design, storytelling all in one.

@ChukSherman @1ssve And they force you to overcome challenges and barriers in tandem w/ the difficulty faced by characters. Imagine if after a particularly intense scene your book was like "What were the major themes of the last three chapters?" and snaps shut losing your place if you can't answer.

It’s hard to argue against this. In a game, you’re not just watching a character make a moral choice; you are the character making that choice. When you combine that level of agency with a cinematic score, world-class voice acting, and incredible environment design, it creates an emotional impact that a 2-hour movie or a book just can’t replicate. It’s the only medium where the audience is a co-author of the experience
