I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BRAZILIAN FRIENDS, OMG!

I usually pull out these words by @adamjk.bsky.social when things feel awful, but good things happened today. They will continue happening so long as we fight for it!

Do people not listen to you because you "tell it like it is" and "don't kiss ass" or could it also be partly because you explain things starting from the end, bring up names you never introduced, go on long tangents about irrelevant parts and spend two words on the important part or skip it entirely

The other thing you realize is a lot of people's only communication dial is more polite to more rude, so their idea of "giving directions to idiots" is to be more condescending and rude which feels good I guess, but if you actually want things done you want to assume nothing and give all the details

I really don't think there's any new skill to "prompt engineering", people often complain the computer won't do what they want and I suggest some common sense thing I would say to a person I don't trust to follow directions good, and it works. This is an old skill called giving directions to idiots

I didn’t get to properly gush about this cuz I stepped away for most of the month soooo uhhh: OMFG LOOK AT MY FABULOUS MODEL BOI😭🔥

So remember how I came up with a temporary fix for my storage problems using some old hard drives? Uhh... looks like that's not going to work much longer 😩 I've never been good about sharing my throne wishlist, but if anyone wants to help with my storage solution: throne.com/ofmetalandma...

Got a project where you could use some help? Be it in marketing, web development, or game design, hit me up! ko-fi.com/yftechno/com... I am in need of cast to pay for groceries and pay bill this week; and I got a discount going on.

What it makes me think about more than anything else is about how the idea of in-groups and out-groups, "our side" and "the bad guys," "those who have to be protected" and "those we can lose," is the core of conservative thinking. And it's far, far too common even on the 'left'.

What you see is what you get: The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

There's a quote a lot of people know about the Right, attributed often to political scientist Frank Wilhoit: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

"Looking back at past designs, there are some that were created merely by copying and pasting. Yet, such work rarely stands the test of time; it lacks the individual's particular design intention" 2/2 of legendary devs relating AI to following trends, which implies originality is the solution to AI

BioWare and the Dragon Age series fundamentally changed me as a person. I would not be who I am today without them. Its truly devastating. What a terrible time to love video games.

Former BioWare Senior Writers Mary Kirby (Varric, Vivienne, Lucanis) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Liara, Josephine, Emmrich) and Sarah Hayward (Former BioWare Cinematic Director) have found a home at North Mist with many others in our network.

This week, I'm returning to my thoughts on freelance. What the heck should I be charging if I wanted to do this full time? www.explorersdesign.com/hireling-you...
