Council looks like it's shifted aprox. +2 to the left and moderately towards yimbyism so maybe she will actually be able to do things this term. I will never get over having a former communist party leader on council whose whole deal was just opposing development lol

So fucking funny (bleak and terrible) that they sell shelves full of 'estrongenic' supplements for cis women instead of over-the-counter HRT. Unfortunately, the rightoid adoration of nature is only rivaled by the leftoid adoration of doctors.

I don't know how I missed this 't-girl sims' project by Oleander Garden and Blood Machine's label Asphodel Softworks, but this is probably my favorite part of the steam page, a clear statement against endless expansions and dead games / live services:

Behold the humble Noem! Beguiling and silly-pilled, fully customizable, monstrous or adorable: with an n-dimensional vector space of fantasies and memories. An urban digital dollhouse, constructed top-to-bottom with a focus on simulation fidelity. Wishlist @ store.steampowered.com/app/4894510/...

Elf game proposal: historically accurate 16th century English law. Found a "treasure trove"? Belongs to the king. Conceal a treasure trove? By god, that's a misdemeanor. Or maybe misprision. What's a misprision? There's forty competing court systems and none of them will tell you.

"sims for tgirls" + extremely aesthetic and the tech sounds genuinely novel as a way to relate to high dimensional vector space operations which *isn't* just 'train a mysterious black box on a trillion pieces of data'; and it's oleander and blood behind it, this could be truly sick as hell

At current convergence rates my hair will reach the point it can reasonably be described as 'salt and pepper' around the same time [quantity of consumer graphics card ram] ~= [quantity of childhood computer storage]; which feels right and proper. White hairs are cute + shiny.

writing C(++) this week and i keep doing the chapo 'uncle magic with your dad' bit except it's 'cache magic with your dad' and not funny except to me i find it very funny. Speed something up 300x? that's cache magic with your dad special scenario style.

Women posting about self tying are like "here's how to do a cute harness I love rope its so comfy and nice" and every moid is like "here is my hardware store sex contraption for sex (CD / part-time bicurious) I used it once and nearly died but my best friend from high school saved me with a knife"

Honestly so proud of the divorce horse. I think a few years ago I ran into a kind of wall with my work, only a very small portion of what I was doing felt fit for release. Phageplay and the Horse stuff (+ noematica) feel like a huge step forward and I'm so excited to return to simulation

There's an abandoned hexcraft 3 draft that got revised religiously for like three years, 50,000 words of unpublished TTRPG, fragments of a novel even. Just wasn't good enough IMO. Really happy to once again Make Myself Worthy of the Process (-- as they say)

90% of the evil in the world is variations on "oh yeah buddy you call that abuse my dad plugged jumper cables into my belly button and shocked me with 130 volts seven to twelve times a day but you don't see ME asking for special treatment nuh uh little baby I;m normal as fuck"

Have seen v6 accused of being: anti-woke, newfangled, oldfangled, too corporate and concerned with mass appeal, too indie and uninterested in mass appeal, OSR, narrative, story-game, a 5E D&D clone; I want to make fun but OWoD is a chicken-finger french-fry safety-blanket for me too so...
