Mind you, they eliminated a significant polling station in this ward and that's what caused everyone to come to this one Poor communication in advance of the election as well I'll be sending an email, you can bet

Idk why but they were only offering the stickers to the children like girl they don't even vote, give one to ME

The people who decided on the polling station locations dropped the ball so hard this time like unbelievable They're telling ppl in line it's a 40 minute wait and that we should consider going to other polling locations with shorter waits

Drawn for Ghost Tales Zine! πŸ’  It was the perfect excuse to show my headcanon of Lars swapping his shell for something that suits his guardian better ☺️ #ghosttaleszine #destiny2art #destiny2

picked up my hard drive from recovery the other day and as a closing comment the guy was like "you should back this up btw, these drives fail all the time" not sure if he said that generally or because I gave them a cheap teamgroup ssd to put the stuff on (which I'm now backing up to other places)

but mentally I was like buddy you don't have to tell me, do you think I ever want to show my face here again lesson LEARNED believe me if this ever happens to me again I'll simply accept the L because I was a moron

might not keep the markings idk I didn't realize how few awoken marking options there were until I went into the character creator recently (and that female guardians have exclusive options!) nothing is stopping me from giving him markings that don't exist I suppose... tyra karn had unique ones

got a brainworm for a d2 fangame where you play as my hunter Alya and sign up for extra crucible one on one lessons with a trainer (which is an excuse to make 2 more hot crucible trainer OCs clearly, in addition to naji)

It's gotta be either the 3 hr one or the 12 minute one LOL. I know for sure the 24 hr one was my previously female human hunter. And all that to still have less than 3 hours on my titan... Sorry babe

It would be nice to give my other d2 OCs cameos in this game too, like esp Astra and Ceph in a Fireteam hangout session. I can see the vision. tbh could even theme it around crimson days πŸ€” hmmm

got me reflecting on which crucible maps have the best hidden nooks for making out LOL I feel like citadel is pretty romantic

making a male titan OC could be fun, I don't have one of those (although, I feel like I once had a male exo Titan at some point and rerolled it for a female one for nicer armour silhouettes?? Am I hallucinating)

you won't believe this but CSP had this file in the recovery folder... One of the few files in there btw. I thought that was so funny, like even when I lost everything this WIP still haunts me persistently like a cursed spirit from the leviathan 🀣

vanade@vanade.bsky.social

I tried like 10 different curl brushes and gave up and painted over it freehand after all πŸ˜” looks better than the brushes no easy ways out for me it seems this pose is also giving me hell

Anyway the good news is that the data recovery guy said they were apparently able to recover almost all my clip studio files except 2... Expensive lesson I learned so BACK UP YOUR STUFF πŸ“’ JUST BUY THAT REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR DRIVE NOW BEFORE YOU REGRET IT

Wait dude do you know what I just realized and is even funnier omg One of the meanings of his name (Naji) LITERALLY is survivor / safe / rescued ASDFDSJKG girl I can't even make this up what the heck

the most rancid discourse of all time is happening on Twitter rn re: otome games lol At the end of the day it's just the same reheated genre labelling discourse but hooooly the levels of misinformation and homophobia this time are just whack

it's not like I've made a lot of games so far, but I hope to cultivate an audience that just likes my work and isn't concerned with how it's labelled because indie devs are ALWAYS getting caught in the crossfire of these fights and I'm tired of it

Hope your month has gone better than mine... One of my hard drives failed (the one I had all of my media stored on πŸ™ƒ including all my art hahaahaha that wasn't backed up since 2024 hahahahha that I knew was failing but procrastinated on replacing because HDD prices are crazy hahahah DON'T do that)

Also while I'm ranting, (btw it was a stupid Seagate drive that died) I feel like it's so convoluted trying to research replacement drives. All the HDDs I looked at seemed unreliable, overpriced or they were for NAS storage and idk what that means for me I just want a hard drive.

I don't have room for any more NVME SSDs because I already have a 2TB one so I only have room for a HDD or another SATA drive rn. I figured I'd just get a SATA. But I know that SSD drives fail out of nowhere with no warning so that also scares me. Is my only recourse just regular backups and pray??

I fricking hate it here It wouldn't have killed me to be more diligent about backing stuff up but I just got lazy And damn the AI companies to hell for the insane HDD prices which is why I delayed replacing my drive so long to begin with

Now I have to buy a mediocre and overpriced SATA SSD anyway and also live in fear that my stupid Samsung Evo 870 will kick the bucket sometime too For the price of recovering my data + getting a new drive I might as well just buy a new PC (which doesn't even solve the storage space problem UGH)

Recovery place says they can only do a partial recov πŸ˜” also it's like $300... Bro... Do I just restore my 2024 backup (which is also only partial) and call it a day And then I caught some disgusting cold and spent the last 5 days suffering further

Speaking of Indies, I'm gonna make a proper promo thread for them but 3 indie recommendations from my Summer of Capitalism marathon in the last few months: - discounty: run a convenience store, solve the town's problems. Loved the item scan mechanic, plays really well on steamdeck

- potionomics: run a potions shop, befriend & romance fun charas including BOSS FINN my beloved - ledgerbound: complete a heroic quest and make the shareholders proud (so funny (raunchy humour but it was good) and romance very hot people) the VO is SO good. Insane cast and really fun characters

had to scrounge up best buy gift cards with my Microsoft reward points to get it physically even tho it cost more because screw the digital-only future While gamers are fighting Sony about it, they can't let Nintendo off the hook.

Also real talk... Prices of new games in Canada are insane... I'm glad I have a massive backlog of games (& ff14) & I play a lot of Indies. Gone are the days I'd preorder 4-5 AAA games at E3 time with all the sale discounts 😒 I miss you, 2012...Futureshop my beloved... At least I still have best buy

oh..... I really like the beastmaster job trainer... oh no also, beastmaster is so complimentary to being a hunter, I love that. feels like that could legit become mikh's main job (ignoring the no-msq restriction of it being a limited job)

I clawed my way through board 3 yesterday to finish up the BST storyline just for more content with him btw 🀣 I got all the beasts too but I'll prob just do the challenge log each week till I can get the hair. I'd LIKE the BST glowy weapon but levelling 50 beasts is so boring...

I also don't know if I have any interest in tackling the harder boards tbh. I think I'm good. Need to farm mogtomes/finish ledgerbound/play fortune's weave when it comes out! (Also it's funny to me that BST's mode is the "crucible" and my brain drags up D2 PvP war memories when I read it lol)

Second severe storm alert warning on my phone this summer, which was freaky because I got it on the bus and other people did too Then I passed someone on the street who was using text to speech to hear the content of the message and it felt like I was in the beginning of an apocalypse movie

Whole bus got a tornado alert on our phones and everyone started looking out the windows, but the mood is very much "eh, anyway"

I had a big brain moment and realized I could put patches inside the cover-on-cover without ironing them to the cover itself... So those starlink patches can finally see the light of day instead of the dark safety of my drawer πŸ₯Ή

I've never played a fire emblem game (the gameplay isn't my thing) but the character designs in fortune's weave were literally made for me, dude I'm playing ledgerbound right now and my backlog is IMMEASUREABLE but... I'm preordering
