New followers: Hi! I'm Zoë. I also answer to "Hey, you, please put down the guitar you're giving me a migraine!"

I'm currently battling a WICKED bad cold, so my posts are more all over the place than usual. But I post aboutprogramming, music, fiction writing, ADHD advocacy, and trans stuff 💙

I found a mouse pad in one of our asset packs that was 12,000+ polys.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

got pissy with us that it wasn't real wood (We never SAID it was real wood, btw). For $25? Bitch, you want real wood you're paying $2500 in this market.

Like, I remember once seeing a Keurig machine for sale on a local marketboard. It looked like someone had dug it out of a sewer. They wanted $100 for the damn thing (and it wasn't even a fancy model lol)

We tried to sell an old book shelf for $25, and the one person who responded-

I've noticed a funny little mentality in people who browse any sort of used items marketplace.

They expect to get as much as or MORE than what they paid new for an item that's in absolute shit shape, but they expect you to give them something you're selling, in pristine condition, for free

Okay, this is actually really reassuring. On speaking with someone who's already done multiple play throughs, apparently it's SUPPOSED to feel like that the first time through

Spoiler free version: the protagonist is an unreliable narrator, and, things change in new game+

So now I'm curious LOL

had the pleasure of cosplaying bunny maid miku at Anime Ink 2025 earlier this month to help a friend at her tattoo booth 💖

i hadn't been able to cosplay all year and was really missing it, so this was an especially happy weekend :'^)

a photo of myself dressed as miku in a maid's dress, wearing large black bunny ears!! i'm smiling and waving with both hands, and behind me there is an anime backdrop of some mountains and fields with pink and blue lighting.

I'm less and less curious what's going to happen next, and more and more wondering when queen bitch is going to turn into a monster because senpai doesn't notice her enough.

It's still better than Homecoming, though. But, I can't recommend it to Silent Hill fans without a ton of asterisks

Zoë-mbie! 💀🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @scaerietale.itch.io · 17h

Feels like Silent Hill F blew its load in the first act. The more it goes on the more cringe middle school drama starts to seep in. It's written like a really cheesy anime (and not in a good way), which juxtoposes with the insense combat and dark vibes in a jarring, disjointed mess

lmao I just heard about the naked protestor response to National Guard being ordered there. Please, Portland, I am begging you, do not ever, ever ever stop being weird. I want to move there someday 😍

oh maybe this is part of why the masculinity crisis has lead (heh) to a stupidity crisis - dudebros are literally protein powdering lead straight into their bloodstream en masse.

god, god this is SO cursed.

two of the products we tested — Huel's Black Edition meal replacement powder and Naked Nutrition's vegan mass gainer — had enough lead that our experts caution against using them at all

a single serving of these protein powders contained between 1,200 and 1,600% of CR’s level of concern for lead

Two plant-based protein powders contained enough lead that our experts advise against consuming them. Naked Nutrition’s Mass Gainer powder contained 7.7 micrograms of lead per serving, which is roughly 1,570 percent of CR’s level of concern for the heavy metal. One serving of Huel’s Black Edition powder contained 6.3 micrograms of lead, or about 1,290 percent of CR’s daily lead limit.

Two other powders contained lead between 400 and 600 percent of CR’s level of concern: Garden of Life’s Sport Organic Plant-Based Protein and Momentous’ 100% Plant Protein. Consumers should limit these to once a week, Akinleye says. (See company responses below.)

The only non-plant-based protein powder with lead detected at over 200 percent of CR’s level of concern was MuscleMeds’ Carnivor Mass powder. Six additional plant-based powders, five dairy-based powders and shakes, and one beef powder contained lead above CR’s level of concern.

We also found measurable levels of cadmium and inorganic arsenic in some products. One serving of Huel’s Black Edition plant-based protein powder contained 9.2 micrograms of cadmium, more than double the level that public health authorities and CR’s experts say may be harmful to have daily, which is 4.1 micrograms.

Another plant-based option, Vega’s Premium Sport powder, had enough cadmium that one serving would also put you just over that level. In one dairy-based product, Optimum Nutrition’s Serious Mass whey protein powder, we also detected 8.5 micrograms per serving of inorganic arsenic, which is twice the limit of what our scientists say is safe to consume daily.

Hey there y'all, I'm unsure if my contract is going to be extended OR, if it does, it will end soon for the year and become available early next year.
Either way, I'm looking for remote UX/UI/Product Design work just in case. I love my job but can't plan around uncertainty due to budgeting ❤️

Yes! This is actually what got me started down my professional writing path years ago. I just started keeping an in character diary for fun (for a Champions Online character) and it *rapidly* evolved into me discovering I just really, really love to write haha

Okay but if you've never kept an in character diary/journal I highly recommend it as a fun form of note taking.

I did this once and it was about 30% really useful information and 70% my character going on about his crush. That doesn't really count as a secret though, since everyone knew...

If someone stole your TTRPG character's diary, what secrets would they discover?

Funny thing, I was just joking about putting up fake webs in that tree for Halloween decorations, but I never got around to putting something together this year.

Zoë-mbie! 💀🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @scaerietale.itch.io · 1d

Oh wow. We have this massive oak tree (and a smaller Dogwood next to it) in our front yard, and the branches are maybe 3-4ft from the roof, but a spider has built a MASSIVE web from the roof to the tree. Happy Halloween indeed haha

I'd get a pic, but it's so thin it doesn't show up in a photo

This is something that people are noticing more and more - Republicans have stopped playing electoral politics entirely. They're no longer caring about anyone but Trump.

Really seems like they're betting all their chips on "We're never having a real election again"

Imean, Trump literally said at one point that if he's elected, "You'll never have to vote again" but nobody else seems to remember him saying it (except for my mother, so maybe we're both mandella'ing it)

For the nausea I can at least recommend ginger snaps, but I want to smack whoever it was who told me to sniff alcohol wipes. All that did was make me feel nauseous and dizzy <3
