"Brutalism only good with plants" discourse is erasure of fungus brutalism. Imagine: beautiful concrete house, veiled in lichen, mushrooms erupting from the cracks like fire
Sweet, strange uncitizens: ONCE I WAS MADE OF EARTH is here, an epic fantasy that's been ratling in my brain for years now and that I'm putting out into the world serially outside of the capitalist publishing apparatus. Share, and read, and comment. archiveofourown.org/works/91618061

agonize means to eradicate the gon from a thing
i think this is a contender for the stupidest line of code i've ever written
I have a lot of things I want to say about this hellscape but for now I'll just say I love programming, I love talking to the computer in logical, predictable code, I love making human design decisions, I love struggling and exploring and pondering hard problems and coming up with solutions

it's common for platformers to have a 'here's us showing you how the mechanics work' section, then a 'now we test if you understand how the mechanics work' section. if unfair flips is the tutorial on how probability works, 500 finger fillet is the test, and i love it for that
I'm at the tier of design problem where the solution is an empty trait called "Nominal Dogness" that you must rank up but does nothing, except contain reminder text that you are a dog in name only. After 12 hours deep in the tank, I'm convinced this is the right solution.
