GF and I discovered this game last night and it is amazing. Possibly the best co-op game of the year.

I think something cis people might not understand about people like Gavin Newsom who publicly espouse transphobia, is that 99% of the time they're only saying the stuff they think other people will find palatable, and their true beliefs are muuuch worse.

to whoever needs to hear it: don’t wait around for the “perfect time” to start transitioning because there’s no such thing. the best time to transition is now

Are they referring to increase radiative heating since there's less sun rays absorbed at higher altitudes?

It's hard to fathom for most people just how much effort and money is being poured into anti-trans shit, but it's billionaires, the entire apparatus of religious right think tanks like ADF, Heritage etc, entire media empires like Rupert Murdoch's, whole political parties and world governments...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Same! I told her it was critically acclaimed for the cinematography but she wasn't convinced haha.

Katie the Sound Lass 🏳️‍⚧️ @alterasound.com · 13d

Partly I think haha. She's also a photographer and wasn't a fan of the cinematography. We had to bail halfway through but I went back and watched the rest myself 😆

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

Not throwing shade, but there were already plenty of reasons to unsubscribe from Spotify even before those recent ads.

As someone who never used it, I find it slightly satisfying anytime people find a new reason to hate on Spotify.

If you’re a boss in charge of giving employees feedback (especially in a creative field), you need to make sure to talk about the things they do well along with what needs to be changed. I don’t care if you’re “just someone who gives dry feedback.” Get better at it. It helps prevent burnout.

Desktop crashes if I have the GT 720 installed, so I guess I need to go buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. On the upside I have Steam and Discord working.

Katie the Sound Lass 🏳️‍⚧️ @alterasound.com · 14d

In fairness, trying to use a GT 720 was a risky move, but it was the only way to get an HDMI output on this thing. Ended up grabbing a different monitor and using VGA.

Crisis averted; got fedora booted and no Ubuntu needed. I'm sure all the techies will be shocked to hear an Nvidia component was at fault.

Katie the Sound Lass 🏳️‍⚧️ @alterasound.com · 14d

I've been a fedora girl for decades but it's refusing to boot on this system 🙁

Guess I'm gonna try Ubuntu. At least it's still gnome.

I think the problem is they're being funded by people that are deeply uncreative and untalented. There was an article from a music generating AI CEO saying that "nobody enjoys playing instruments" 🙄
