There's a 'who is your most/least favourite character' thread on r/Exocolonist and it's just so neat to read everyone's thoughts and appreciate the spread of characters. I had only hoped to be able to make them complex enough that people would love AND hate them, both for completely valid reasons.

If I think too hard about how adding so many bullshit AI features has bloated my -grocery store- to the point that it makes it impossible to order groceries, I start vibrating so violently I start generating heat and anger.

Christened the Steam machine with the best game ever made

If you want to break out in a cold sweat, realize that your authenticator app had, apparently this whole time, been saving your authentication codes to your now-defunct work email.

Coming home energized and reignited to work on art after a show vs crumpling immediately at the prospect of doing a comic strip before sleeping tonight. NO, it’s so easy to be idealistic about my motivation when I’m thinking about a nebulous positive future!!

I got recognized a lot this weekend by people who bought my work in 2016, 2017 era, and I wish it was more socially acceptable to be like… you fed my family. You bought me bread, and chicken, and sugar. I’m so grateful.

In my top five favorite moments of AniRevo was when they flipped all the lights on max for teardown and we all spontaneously went “OOOOOOOO” like it was The Claw.

I MET A “PERCHANCE, M’LADY” IN THE WILD. They’re ENDANGERED!! Where is the Merlin Man ID app for THAT.

I think Tawnyfeather might be my best cat yet, and coincidentally the dice rolled the same kind as the first one I drew.

So far, the most painful thing about being laid off is facing the prospect of needing to pay for my own Adobe subscription.

The phenomenon of packs of young men passing by my table and the loudest one sneering ‘gay!!’ at my table has been going on so long, some of those men are probably out now.

AMAZING NEWS EVERYONE IT CAME WITH STICKERS WOOP WOOP The artist is ScrunklyRamen on Instagram!

This was my first purchase because I laughed so hard at it that literal tears were forming in my eyes me, barely holding it together, high-pitched: woo???

Kev, after watching me put on my sweater and then, thirty seconds later, struggle my bra out the neck hole: “Oh, we’re having a Big Sensory today.”

It’s so wholesome to see that the friend I made because both of us have Heated Rivalry merch has only become more unhinged and laser-focused on making more. I just think that’s the true spirit of artist alley: people being SO normal about a thing they love.

Look at the size of these. A family of mice should be cutting a single one of these for their Thanksgiving dinner.

I made lanyards :)

The printer ink I ordered (weeks ago!) for this weekend’s restock arrived a half hour after I left the house to set up. 🥲

Time from @hapabara.bsky.social’s lips to thing I can hang over my desk: two and a half hours.

I have chronic dry eyes (thanks, LASIK!). After struggling with drops for fifteen years I finally learned about heated eye massaging masks, and I think it might be the most effective single-purpose doohickey I’ve ever bought.

Heartbreaking: demo better than full game D:

I’ve been trying to make something new for the upcoming convention marathon for weeks, and every time I put pen to tablet it’s just the most garbage I’ve ever been unable to draw 🥲

I’m this many years old.

Death of the Ability to Read A Review and Think 'Huh, That Was Interesting; Don't Know If I Agree with Everything, But It Was Interesting' Without Contributing to the Discourse

Today Momo told me she has heterochromia and I was like, naaah, that’s for when your eyes are two different colors. Hers are green with a brown ring. So then I looked it up, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s a heterochromia that’s exactly that. She’s got them special Mary Sue eyes!

2/2 on friends being near or at mass casualty incidents in the last two days. Bad. Bad world we got. Turn it off and back on again.

I'm fortunate to have curated my corner of the internet to the point that I'm barely seeing anything AI-generated, but I had the misfortune of scrolling unfiltered, unalgorithm'd TikTok and it was just... entirely fake videos. Dancing dogs, weird babies, weird home reno tips... all fake. Gross.

I finished Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire last night and I am bereft. I got a great ending (except for giving Concelhaut a body... whoops) and can retire happy. Except... I didn't get all the achievements... maybe I will do an evil run.

It’s neuropathy pain time in my feet and the only reason I’m not smashing my toes off with a hammer is because uhhh guarantee that will hurt more and longer. But the desire is there!!

A very cool thing my body is doing lately is lying awake in bed long past when I’d rather be asleep, sending “run :)” thoughts to my legs for no reason. Girl, we don’t do that.
