Absolutely incredible. I would have loved to come if I wasn't also busy performing the story that I've been looking forward to perform for months at the same time. Your worlds, performances, (and avatars!) are very inspirational.
There’s been hundreds (if not thousands) of years purposely conflating “strong,” “manly” violent leadership with competence. It’s baked into the culture at this point. (Unless the people in that military have brown skin of course. Then they are portrayed as nothing more than hordes of savages).
To make it easier to join regular events rather than needing to request invites every time. Though I wish that we were still able to invite people to group instances directly in case they aren’t in the group yet. Friends+ is a bit too chaotic for a lot of events.
Finally, please don't move to Root. Moving there is just kicking the can down the road by a few months at most.
I wouldn't be terribly upset if Stoat won the popularity contest, because open source is cool. But that project seems content with being Discord but open source. Or at the very least, if there is a vision, they haven't made it easy to find. So in the end, the attempt feels a bit half hearted to me.
Been looking at Discord alternatives and I'd like to shout out Fluxer for having the coolest vision for the future. The app is still a bit unstable so I wouldn't put all of your eggs into the basket. But I do recommend moving at least *some* of your eggs from the Discord basket to the Fluxer one.
Thanks for saving me the time of checking this world out.
On another note, I hate that this works. It’s really depressing to know that you can make something super cool, but it’s probably going to fall by the wayside really quickly unless you make it as exploitative as possible…
It feels like an ideological statement to even suggest it, because such a feature would explicitly encourage users to NOT need to make an account on Fluxer. Just gotta hold the dev to it now.
I really hope more people settle on this one. Forums on the web being on the roadmap is huge. There's so much priceless information that's locked away in miscellaneous discord servers that can't be searched right now. And as much as I'd like to revive normal forums... I can't see that happening.
I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.
I've done it! I've made art!
I recently finished writing "The Warden" which is the second short story I've ever written.
I can't wait to perform it for VRTravellers (it launches on the 28th, you should come!)
Writing this has already been really good for the soul. Would recommend.
I did in fact misread the double negative in the quote. Hopefully the sentiment still makes sense though.
The goal is to make things better, not just keep them the same (especially when things have already gotten pretty bad right now)
Saying that voting won’t change the world doesn’t say anything about it being the same as not voting.
Voting can slow things down from getting worse. But it will not create the change that will make things better. Things staying the same literally means no material difference.
Hope that helps.
What a wonderful cat!

I can't tell from this reply if you've watched the video, but in case you (or anyone else who reads this) have not, Alec doesn't really advocate for people to install solar at home. He recommends against it in a lot of cases because it's usually cheaper for a utility company to build a power plant.
I’ve been really struggling to write, and your recent video on kindness in stories is probably going to be my main source of fuel to keep going. I hope that those of us whom you inspire can do a better job at sending some of that positive energy back your way.
Yes, people will interpret the same words differently. It is also literally impossible to word a single post in multiple ways simultaneously. What is quite easy though is to exercise that theory of mind to realize that people have different thought processes than you while you are reading something.
I think you need to put at least as much effort into earning forgiveness as you did into the thing you’re asking forgiveness for. That is, if you were an enthusiastic piece of shit, you don’t just get to say sorry and sit back. I expect some serious gumption before I’ll believe you’re genuine.
I admit I'm cheating a little, but I've chosen to put where I encountered the song rather than where it originates from because I think it's more interesting that way.
10 soundtracks to get to know me:
Affinity photo is not free, but it is a one time payment. I’ve been really enjoying it for more complex photo editing jobs. But also I’ve found that Krita, despite being painting software, is usually good enough for most tasks. And Krita is free!
Had this knocking around in my head for about 6 months and finally got around to writing it out and filming it. This is my first time making a video essay and I haven't written VO since college but I'm happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think!

Yeah, game logic is annoying.
As a funny story, I finished this world exactly one week before Datalists were added to Udon. That is, all the card shuffling/passing around is done with arrays that point to the cards. Which is probably the worst thing I've ever had to do with Udon to this date.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I didn’t actually know that people other than myself use this world. I’m kinda motivated to fix it up now as there are a few things that are broken/annoying if I remember correctly.
Thanks for this. Bakery is the #1 thing I really the absence of since I switched to Linux. Glad to know that this is possible with the built in baking.
For anyone reading this who is not a bot, this bill will ban all funding for ALL healthcare (yes, even if you're not trans) if a hospital provides any healthcare to a trans person (yes, even if they pay for it out of pocket). Have fun paying $1000+ for your yearly checkup instead of the $25 copay.

@naelstrof.bsky.social and I have our first stable version of our new multithreaded version of Jiggle Physics for Unity!
I am excited to be able to offer this free and open source under the MIT license. If you use it to make something cool I'd love to see!

I've been using Wayland only with NVIDIA and there are some definite pain points, but everything (except VR) works nicely. And VR works too, just not nicely.
