Breaking Barriers Together

bauhauzzo has near-omniscience over the past, click clack can percieve everything happening in the present, and huzzle has prescience over all possible futures. send tweet

felt so euphoric to be able to come out as nb/trans in Veilguard, loved the added dialogue they took the time to write and record just for such scenarios

now can we PLEASE make a game where u can explicitly, verbally come out as ace, and also without it automatically locking you out of the romance path

pls bioware (and other companies) some of us are STARVING

I love that someone is doing the thing with The Sims 4 with the Krew, cuz I was a fucking coward to post my own session myself.

Godspeed, you magnificent person. I LOVE THE POSTS BTW!!! 😭😭💕💕💕

It just occured to me that Fadel has been keeping Style's wallet hostage this whole time

Vox and Niffty couple up so quickly that those who don't Know assume that they must've worked together under Alastor before, while those who do Know guess that they might've known each other back in their overlord days. They're both wrong though– this is the first time Vox and Niffty have ever met, they just happen to get along as if they're old friends.

Even as I get better at driving I find that my intense dislike for the entire process persists unabated. What I want is to live in a place where "non-driver" and "housebound" are not synonyms.

You’re amazing. I’m amazing. We’re all amazing.

We should aim to stop feeling like shit all the time.

ori and the blind forest doesn't control v well for me. any deviation from perfectly left or right on the analog stick is interpreted as up or down instead which wrecks my movement in the precision platforming sections that are required to progress. my hands are cramped from trying.

a thing I am not enjoying is I keep compulsively going over broad strokes plans of how I’d leave the US if I needed to, but a good thing is I have three clear paths out and three backups

Becoming increasingly (irrationally) angry with Pixar for inventing this stupid file format.

I have decided to do a drawing of every Princess Zelda there is; starting with A Link to the Past

I won't color them (for now) because I want to find a way to differentiate them (especially all the toon Zelda's) without relying on color.

When you think about it, it's actually terrifying that since 2019 Taylor Swift has recorded and released five new albums, released four re-recordings with new material on each, directed 12 (someone check my maths) music videos and a short film, written a screenplay, provided material for two film soundtracks in cats and where the crawdads sing, appeared in 6 films (two features, a documentary and three music films, featured on four albums (ed sheeran/big red machine/the national and gracie abrams), planned and executed a global two year tour that involved a complete reinvention halfway through where each show was over three hours long, run a successful business while making systemic change in the music, film, publishing and touring industries and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down but is in fact more motivated than ever

I was going to have rye maaaybe start to buy into solas' whole johnny silverhand deal a little bit more in the post-weisshaupt talk -- to Progress the Arc tm/set up the beginning softening in that relationship and heighten the effect when it eventually goes. quite another way entirely -- but the sheer spectacular cruelty in hindsight of 'at least you still have varric to talk to' is such that considering where I'm intending to end up with this narratively, the stoic 'not here to make friends you fucker gimme your intel' option is simply irresistible. gotta have that echo rattling around rye's head forever when he decides that you know what? I have had enough of being nice, actually. I do want to go ape shit. someone hold my coat for me please I have some work to do and I don't want to stain it. guess for now the ol' watcher training & instincts are still kicking in enough for them to treat solas like a tricky spirit you should treat with respect and good intentions, but also shouldn't be out there offering little fingers to unless you have a whole arm lying around to spare haha

avoiding my chores for an hour or so by trying to see what combination of path/element we might expect sooner than later.

some fun observations:

destruction and nihility are the only paths with every element covered; no element has all seven paths covered

the most popular path is destruction, the least is preservation

the most popular elements are ice and physical, the least are imaginary and wind

the only combinations we have two characters for are lightning erudition, ice preservation and physical destruction

we are still missing a handful of combinations -

btw i know a bunch of upcoming characters probably already got their paths/elements leaked, please dont mention that or any leaks on this post or i will block you ✌️ thx

Help Protect the Internet Archive!

“If our patrons around the globe think this latest situation is upsetting, then they should be very worried about what the publishing and recording industries have in mind,” added Kahle. “I think they are trying to destroy this library entirely and hobble all libraries everywhere. But just as we’re resisting the DDoS attack, we appreciate all the support in pushing back on this unjust litigation against our library and others.”

I just donated to Archive.org because they have spent the past two decades building this Digital Library that has collected over 100 PETRAbytes (1 petra = 1000 tera) of content from all over time and the world.

All kinds of media, even game emulators.

Books you can rent.

Full feature films.

Historical documents.

Webpages - The Wayback Machine, archiving over 860mill webpages across time, is part of the library.

The have a slew of projects designed to help allow libraries and everyday individuals contribute to this library as well as help give everyone access like Offline Archive , Bookserver - even in unique ways like with the Bookmobile!

They are also under attack though, which is what encouraged me to contribute today. Libraries across the US, and lets be real - access to education in many areas of the world - is under attack. I do suspect not just DDoS, not just businesses, but even governments seeking to oppress people will try to suppress this archive and the knowledge is holds.

While you can donate there are other ways to help:

Volunteering is an option, if that fits your bill. If you have collections that should be digitized, they have Scanning Services that would help people contribute non-digitized media to the archive. Also the aptly named Open Library is a great place to contribute either with books or if you are a programmer you can build on top of the data as well. There are also some jobs available! (i can't be sure without their info, but they may qualify as a PSLF employer since they are non-profit)

Archive.org is my new favorite place of all time. Both because of the content but also because of the mission at the heart of it all:

The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, people with print disabilities, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge.
