My #swordtember project this year is a playable game where I upload a new sword to the game everyday. Still can't believe I'm doing it, and it might not be any good, but the game exists. See you on other side. #gamedev #godot jacobgoldfarb.itch.io/swordtember

(Well ok I guess if we're talking about people with 8th grade reading levels talking to people who DO pick up on those subtleties there's a LOT of chance for misinterpretation. 😅 )
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn't that an anxiety thing? The fear that you could be misinterpreting lack of punctuation as dismissive, or a hard stop as anger, when the other person may just have a hard time typing on a phone (or worse, using voice to text)?

Another job application sent out. Does luck still work if instead of asking you to wish I just threaten you to give me all your luck instead? Like, while I'm cooking? Holding a knife for unrelated reasons? I won't, but the scenario crossed my mind. Just wish me luck.

So much same; there's so much I *want* to do, but I feel guilty setting aside the time over things I *need* or "should" do. Then the only thing that ever overrides that are the activities that get dopamine hits fast, and I end up doing that for 2 hours instead (like a fool).

First I'm hearing about both of these, I'm hyped. Hoping we get some Air Ride news.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
All thise quiet moments on the deck of the ship, asking if it's all worth it, as some fantasy future tech looms, unsure if it's there to help or harm, and it's being experienced by Popeye drinking a can of orange cream soda. Why do you do this, brain? What are you doing?
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
You can't advance the story by having the main character leap off the ship with a grappling hook to aid another, more elegant ship captained by a regal stranger looking for her lost sister in the desert. Then find that sister, save her, and then make that main character POPEYE!!
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
You can't show me a scene right out of a millennial jrpg, flying over an endless desert shrouded by polluted clouds in the airship home of a kindly engineer mom, admiring the distand mountains and clear skies bathed gold in sunset... ... and then make the main character Popeye.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social)
I'm sorry brain; you can't just give me a whimsical, post apocalypse solarpunk dream, complete with Hayao Miyazaki style airships, and then make Popeye the main character. You can't do that.

It does sound like a weird extrapolation of... "giants wouldn't be able to exist on land with earth's gravity" into "thus for giants to exist in the bible gravity must of been weaker" ... that some church might spin up.

This is so weird, I'm surprised there isn't another option to this question. My biggest reason for buying physical on Switch is to save internal storage for multiplayer. Single player titles I know I'll put down for a long time I prefer physical, knowing I can save space and still play later.

I have my YETI Waterbottle and it works really well. Too well, sometimes. I have a second one for hot drinks that holds onto heat so well that if I brew tea in it the water still burns after well over an hour. 🥵 You can buy separate tops that fit with most their sizes too.

I'll end on a fun personal story. The Bionicle: Quest for Makuta boardgame was really neat but me and my siblings never played it correctly. Instead, we used the hexagon board pieces as an RPG map and printed out custom armies of Shy Guys and Warhammer Lizardmen to do war with. It was fun.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm trying not to say too much since really I haven't even looked that deep into Bionicle in years. They may also just suffer from being too similar in vibe. Not sure if the cartoons or games ever did much to give them distinct personalities.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
At least, I think they do. I'm not saying one is better than the other, it just... ... reminds me of my opinion / spicy hot take that the Ninja Turtles are better when their designs are more similar with only small variations as opposed to exaggerated visual differences.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I am curious though; besides the hard-to-reproduce silhouettes (due to LEGO) is the similarity just a quirk of designing a team? Like, there are iconic teams that have variety in their silhouettes, but then just as iconic teams where their designs are near indistinguishable and that still work.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I appreciate that they tried. Like, Black and Brown stand out for having flipped torsos and lower heads. I recall them also having different postures in promotional pieces.

I maaaybe might have unhealthy coping mechanisms that shut that down where it can. Emotions get really hard to read when for the longest time your automatic response has been to repress, avoid, or distract from them. It does turn into a list of familiar body cues.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I've only been diagnosed with ADHD, as of writing, but I was oddly thinking about this too today. 'Strong' emotions can be overstimulating, for me. It activates my brain in a way that can be overwhelming at times, leading to intense feelings of embarrassment / anxiety over my thoughts and actions.
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I've only been diagnosed with ADHD, as of writing, but I feel this too. It's like a defense mechanism. Strong emotions are way too overstimulating, and that tends to spiral into intense feelings of embarrassment / anxiety. I just end up suppressing all of it (like you said, not exactly healthy).
StarCryptid🌠 (@adamrb.bsky.social) reply parent
I was oddly thinking about this today. Noticeably, it's as if my body uses this as a defense against emotions. Like my mind takes notice I'm feeling 'something' and is too busy controlling and discerning it's effect to just feel it (unless emotion's too extreme to hold back or distract from).

A lot of people really believe that being in a relationship will 'save' them from some anxiety, instead of dealing with it in therapy or something. It's such an easy, easy trap to fall into, unfortunately.
