honestly, bastion and transistor both left me super cold. hades was great, but i have no desire to 100% it.

same wrt bastion and transistor. the latter especially annoyed me because i ran into a gamebreaking bug where i couldnt damage the final boss. oh well.

say hello to my little friend


Pets rock. At my old job I had a coworker interested in keeping reptiles, and he had a pet chuckwalla, which is a sort of herbivorous lizard native to the southwest US and Mexico that can live for like 30 years? Her name was Lady (his daughters named her) and she had a little carrier with her name on it in pink rhinestones lmao. She was unbelievably chill and he brought her into work one day.



I said "Can I hold her??" and he said "Yeah!" and she IMMEDIATELY crawled up into the crook of my neck and just snuggled there in my warmth while I held her. Cuddled for a solid 15 minutes. I know lizards are a little more primitive-brained than mammals and she was just like "ouughh hot surface" rather than any sort of genuine affection, but oooohhhh my god :kimchi: there is something so deeply fulfilling to my packbonding monkey brain about an animal immediately accepting and loving you

He said she regularly chills with him outside of her carrier and watches Netflix with him but apparently she hates anime? Which is the fakest sounding anecdote, I know, but imagine this fuckin' soft spoken, southern accent, mustache-having, 50-something dad with a pet lizard telling me that he put on Akira and she started FLIPPING OUT and hissing at the screen. Like he picked her up and turned her around so she wasn't facing the screen and she stopped hissing, but when he turned her back around, she started hissing again. I 100% believe he was telling the truth.

God I miss that guy and I miss nerding about exotics with him (I kept pet bugs at the time). I should've got his number so I could ask to come hang out and babysit his lizard.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
I don't think there's anything unique to discords or this website when it comes to large communities having drama. Any semi-public space is eventually going to have some weird assholes show up and freak out in it. Even the sock puppeting bullshit sympathy play stuff that's taken down by IP cross-referencing has happened for internet eons. Something Awful is maybe the one place that has a unique legacy of surviving and even kicking out egomaniacs when poo poo like that happens at a mod/admin level. Most other places just kind of bury it and mass ban anyone who criticizes that stuff, like when there's big time reddit supermod drama or the poo poo with ResetEra. Or they're place too big to care like YouTube or Twitter before Musk decided to deliberately kill it.

Or hell, look at how it just takes one really dramatic person at work to make your whole job experience there more miserable.

SA is also fairly long-lived so it has a long legacy that makes it look more frequent. It's also a site that flourished on principles like making fun of people, so of course the oral history of "that guy who was weird" is more likely to survive and be mentioned than "oh yeah, we kicked out that freak, we don't really talk about it" in your local hobby discord. Plus the community is more centralized than something like Reddit despite the forum divide - if you spend a lot of time on a subreddit for rabbits, you're probably not familiar with whatever niche subreddit drama happened on, like, a subreddit for antique furniture or something. And a ban in one subreddit doesn't mean a ban everywhere, as opposed to SA where if someone gets banned for shitposting in the car forum I can see it on any of their posts with a big red avatar telling me exactly what happened.

But yeah, I can't think of any internet space I've ever been in, no matter how down-to-earth, that hasn't had to kick out at least one weirdo, if the trash didn't take itself out first with a dramatic parting shot. Weirdos exist everywhere and social friction happens as a result, especially in semi-anonymous spaces where people feel more willing to be openly weird and cause problems when it gives them less tangible social consequences than losing their job.

The biggest problem I had with Hades was that there wasn't more of it. Like, not in a "it was too short" way but a "I love this game and its characters so much that I wish I could play it for longer" way.

They also never released full concept art for the gods so I struggled to draw fanart :mad:

Oh man, I forgot I drew a bunch of Hades characters eating burgers once for fun because "fantastical character anachronistically eating a normal burger" is one of my favorite shitposts. These were some of my favorites.
