@DailySMTDemon Found a bust of her at a thrift store in Japan just last month. She sits on my desk looking stern, reminding me to stop doomscrolling and get to work, lest I get impaled by my habitual distractions:

Today’s Daily Demon of the Day is Pallas Athena from the Megami Clan! 🛡️ What are your thoughts on Pallas Athena?

@anomalie_blue Truuue that.

Socially smart people often won’t tell you to your face when they disagree with you because they can sense intuitively that you are too attached to the outcome of the interaction and that you couldn’t handle disagreement. So they will just agree with you… but then you might not hear from them again. It’s easy to assume this is “fake” when really it’s just what intelligent people do to protect their energy. If you went around saying what you really thought all of the time you’d make way too many enemies, and get in way too many unproductive arguments (cortisol spikes = aging) Of course the only way to make genuine connections is to say what you really think… but especially if you intend to be deeply involved in society, you must train your intuition to know who can take it.

@kazumaKaneko666 Thank you for cooperating with us localizers and our insane requests anyway 🙏

では鳴海情報を一つ。 鳴海は偽名で下の名前は設定していません。なのですが海外ローカライズの時に海外の翻訳担当の方が下の名前が無いと翻訳出来ないと駄々を捏ねまして、仕方なく下の名前を付けました。 なのでフルネームは本当は無いと思っていただけると嬉しいです。 ちなみに鳴海という名前はリマスターのディレクターをしている方が付けてくれたのですが、偶然にもその後に放映が始まった『仮面ライターW』が鳴海探偵社だったので2人でニヤリとした憶えがあります。

@macossa_7th This art (and DDS in general) deserves 100,000x more likes.

@MarshSMT What happened to these guys!

@Barbamaster That's a great touch!

Actualización - Hackrom La MT, al ser VHS-C, se deben introducir en un reproductor VHS, por lo que hay que interactuar con una TV para que un Pokémon aprenda el movimiento. Sé que puede ser algo tedioso, pero pienso que puede enriquecer que el entorno sea más interactivo!

@historyinmemes This would make for a crazy Bug Pokemon.

Whenever you feel lonely, remember that microscopic Demodex mites permanently live on your face. They mate near hair follicles, lay their eggs inside them, and emerge at night to feed on dead skin cells before returning to their hidden homes. Demodex mites have likely existed alongside humans for millions of years, evolving with us as one of our oldest microscopic companions. They were first described in 1841 by German dermatologist Gustav Simon, who discovered them living in human hair follicles. Two species commonly inhabit human skin: Demodex folliculorum, which mainly lives inside hair follicles, and Demodex brevis, which resides deeper in oil glands. Nearly every adult carries these tiny mites, usually without noticing any effects. They spend most of their lives within the skin, becoming most active at night when they emerge to feed on dead skin cells and natural skin oils. In rare cases, when their populations grow unusually large due to changes in the immune system or skin environment, they can contribute to demodicosis, an inflammatory condition that may cause redness, itching, and acne-like bumps.

@FengShuiFlowZ Unfortunately I think it is whatever human-made or natural system that makes it so that if you do not have a steady stream of income (or big chunk of savings), you lose access to food, shelter, and love. We're not often given time to heal unless we are very fortunate.

Your therapist went quiet because she realized something heartbreaking: you treat yourself harsher than an enemy. "Get your shit together" implies you are a mess and must immediately reassemble yourself into someone "useful, normal, and intact." But Zhuangzi wrote about a type of tree called the "useless tree" (San Mu). It grows gnarled and crooked; carpenters won't even glance at it. Zhuangzi said it is precisely because it is "unusable" and "can't be put together" that it escapes the axe and lives for thousands of years. When you're falling apart, the worst advice is "put yourself back together." Who made the rule that you must always be a complete, useful, ready-to-serve object?

@chrisramzie This shit is kickass!

Just an ordinary playthrough of Pokémon Snap...

@xKnowledgeBANK I pronounced this in my head as Socrates but with hemp.

Hempcrates!

@ayanakajima3 I'm glad things got cleared up between you and your wife. That's a better ending than Izanagi and Izanami got! It's interesting how gods don't want to be reincarnated as humans, yet they seem to take delight when their stories play out in our own lives.

4/4Therefore, even though he knew the suffering of Izanami and Yumiko, he didn't try to help them. In fact, there was a time when the Buddha, just like Izanagi, knew the pain of his loved ones but didn't intervene. I didn't write about that in New DDS. That's why, while I am still alive, I want to write about the agony of Izanagi and Akemi, and how they overcame it.

1/4When we were newly married, my wife, who believed in reincarnation, said to me, "Let's get married again in our next life." An ordinary man would probably have nodded and said, "Sure." However, I remained silent, unable to reply. This was because I myself had no desire to be reincarnated. My wife was furious. Perhaps I have spent the last 40 years writing about reincarnation just to make an excuse for that moment.

@hiyori_reishi_ Interesting. I turned 36 in 2024. At the beginning of that year, my beloved mother passed away at 80 years old, suddenly and without much warning. After that, I lost the job that defined my finance, career, and identity -- and was plunged into chaos and despair ever since.

よく聞いてください。 人生のスタートは36歳です。36歳と48歳には、ものすごく大きな意味があります。だからもう遅いと諦める必要は1ミリもありません。 鑑定で何百人も視てきた中で確信していることがあります。 36歳は、

@FengShuiFlowZ That is a very timely and comforting drop (or tsunami) of wisdom, thank you.

n Daoism, trying to max out every area of life daily violates the fundamental law of "Qi Conservation" (保气) and the principle that "extremes reverse" (物极必反). Human energy is finite. That "perfect routine" checklist isn't a goal; it's an energetic trap designed to scatter your Spirit (Shen) and drain your vitality. True freedom isn't doing it all flawlessly; it's the profound wisdom of "Zhi Zhi" (知止 - knowing when to stop). Give yourself permission to let some plates drop. Protecting your Qi from the illusion of perfection is the ultimate form of self-care.

@yano_gamedev ゲットだぜダメだ... ゲットだぜダメだ... ゲットだぜダメだ...!!

What if I told you there was a heavily Evangelion-inspired Pokemon-like that's drawn in Gen2 style? Dokimon: Quest is on Switch and Steam and features +140 monsters, two regions, +15 hour story, and all the QOL oldschool Pokémon games were missing Currently 80% off on Steam^^

@bluewmist Helpful information, thank you.

When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it's a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don't care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let's hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

@dinosaur_info Extremely Shin Megami Tensei coded, I am so here for this!

spitting fire right out the gate

@0x_fokki BUILD

@studiokent1 Smooth as butter. Absolutely incredible!

先月、人生で初めてFF6をプレイして感動しました リメイク希望の声が多く上がるのも頷けますね😊 FF6の象徴の1つでもある「ティナのテーマ」をオシャレにアレンジしてみました フルートとクラシックギターでの生演奏です

@QueenAnticommie Can confirm accurate for El Paso, Austin, Houston, Galveston, and Dallas, haven't been anywhere else. Although I do think Galveston, at least the Kemah area, is a lot nicer than most Texans give it credit for.

Is this true my Texas friends?
