Getting the stitches removed went bad. I still have half of them in because it was just too much. Everything hurts, and the right half of my face feels swollen and throbbing like crazy. The nurse was really nice though.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I checked to see if you were hacked because that was not my usual juuni bsky browsing content and I was like "there's no way on planet Earth". But I'm very excited to see your short when it's out!

I get my stitches out on Wednesday and I'm hoping that means that I can maybe try a stream Thursday or Friday. So far, the main issue with speaking is that I have to speak slower so I can super focus on enunciating and that stitches are holding parts of my mouth in place so my jaw gets REALLY tired.

This is important! If you've got comms open and have "personal [or noncommercial] use only" without specifics, I'm going to click away. Twitch/YouTube streams are commercial use.

(It's totally fine to separate out allowed uses though! Lots of artists do tiers or add-on fees.)

🔞The Menagerie || Restructuring Under Stress @menagerie.show · 3d

Time to get in trouble:

Anyone else think a lot of vtuber artists that use "for personal use only" in their ToS don't think that through?

If you're making a vtuber Model and they accept tips or monetized streams or videos, that's commercial use

I know you don't mean that but contracts don't care.

the game is called Little Rocket Lab, and there's a free demo to try out now! It looks super cute and also 2 of my favorite genres mashed <3 <3 (The game is also on sale)

It's also on Game Pass if you still fuck with that.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

I did have my gallbladder out in 2019ish but I only craved orange juice. Which, like, was fine? No one thinks it's weird if you drink orange juice. And does a gallbladder removal count as major surgery? Idk.

PIXEL. @hiyapixel.bsky.social · 16d

Anyways

Does anyone else get real weird after a surgery?

My last major surgery was in 2013 and I became obsessed with making and eating whipped cream. I put it on and in everything feasible. For, like, months. It had to be homemade too. It was WAY too sweet bought from the store.

I'm being so for real right now. It's past 2am, I'm in my kitchen in the dark with the fridge light and my phone flashlight eating straight up just dill relish with a fork. Like I'm full gremlin mode. This is my damn house and I'm sneaking around like I just got home from a club I shouldn't be at.

"but Pixel, you could always eat pickles without shame!"

You don't get it, fool. My meal should be 80% pickle. 20% things to bring more pickle to me.

I've been dehydrated my whole life and pickles are everything to me. Dill, sour, sweet, whole, relish, pops, juice, sliced, diced. Hell yeah pickles

PIXEL. @hiyapixel.bsky.social · 16d

I'm no longer afraid to admit it.

Tuna fish was just another way for me to eat copious amounts of dill pickle without being judged.

You cannot shame me.

I'm gonna buy Dragon Age. I'm gonna buy Dragon Age *so hard* and then publish all the fan fiction as canon. And then I'm gonna make Dragon Age 5, but it's just like Origins. Graphics and all. No one can stop me, I've already gone mad with potential power.
