If any of your friends are making games, YOU WILL KNOW ABOUT IT.
Reminder: Most of your friends do not have secret indie game dev alter egos. Do NOT download and run exe files, EVEN IF IT'S SOMEONE YOU OTHERWISE KNOW AND TRUST!
Not here to shame the multiple people in my circle who just got hit by this. It happens. I just hope I can stop it from hitting more.

Kinda why I wanted to be a voice actor 😅.
My apologies to anyone who has casually asked me what my ideal superpower would be, because I cannot be normal about the answer.

Man, sometimes there are games where SIGHTED people are supposed to have low visibility for gameplay/aesthetic reasons, and I'm just completely SOL, and there's no solution to it that's fair

my mom: yeah sometimes I'll get a [pile-ated] woodpecker at my pond

Also I'll probably never play Megabonk but the fact that they rejected their best indie nomination on account of not being an indie gives them major points in my book

I know a lot of people find the concept cringe but I think in this day and age, stories about overcoming adversity through the power of love, friendship and togetherness are more important than ever

I don't know what my gender is, but my dreams are increasing in their eggishness. Last night's involved me desperately trying to get away with wearing men's clothing under my parents' noses.

Basically, don't push buttons other than "riichi" until you know the game better

Today on "laur's weird dreams", a specific Youtuber I watch who does NOT make Hollow Knight content was fighting a modded boss identified only as "Boner"
I did not get to see who or what "Boner" was, and am mildly disappointed in my brain

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.
