for friends that might be interested in randomizer gaming, I'm starting a chill archipelago session Sunday morning to get a hang of hosting stuff! got more details in my discord that I can share to anyone interested in joining 👀

Sooo...today is my birthday! And for my bday, I wanted to give back, so I made a donation to CHIRLA, which is an organization that provides legal aid to immigrants and fights for immigrant labor rights! I love supporting them, and one of the best gifts you can give me today is donating to CHIRLA!

really wish I had the interest to sit and watch movies or shows by myself lol. always hard to grab people to watch stuff with but when I think about watching stuff alone I'm always like "i could be playing games/watching streams etc". it would be nice to catch up with what friends are into though

i swear it would be so much easier for me to fall asleep every night if I could just distill VR hangout background ambience and play it back. listening to friends chatting with chill music around is always so cozy 😴

an underrated shitty part about being one of the only POC in some spaces here is going to new events and knowing you're the only person that's had the thought of "is someone here gonna be racist?" definitely not fun being in a "safe space" and still having people that are prejudiced or fetishize you

It's definitely tone deaf, but also rolling out an alternative to ID verification and only having a few mobile app issues, while there's still no alternative that provides the features that discord does at scale, is a pretty big win for them so it's not like this is brand killing

discord casually admitting they know that nobody wanted the age verification implemented and trying to be funny about it is seriously something that the pr team should reflect on and really study when they lose a lot of nitro subs in this next week

It’s because everyone tried to go to the alternatives, had a bad time, and went back to Discord. The alternatives haven’t meaningfully matured in the last 6 months, so the options now are the devil you know v. a struggle to get people to switch to a worse platform.

Discord finally confirmed for real when they're rolling out age verification service-wide (tomorrow) and I've not seen a single person make a peep about it
