oh also i'm off sick today because my ears are acting up and even so much as going up and down stairs causes massive dizzy spells and makes me want to collapse. Hell I bent down to pick up some dirty clothes to put in the wash basket downstairs and fell over immediately. It's pretty horrible but since I had that inner ear infection apparently this is just gonna be... a thing, for a while, until it clears up. If ever. yaaaay.
I honestly don't know what the highland fling thing was really about but it seemed ot be just an excuse to get a farmer's market up, some rides and fast food trucks, and some various displays. Mostly it was a cool excuse to see the falconry display because they had such beautiful birds to see. owls, hawks, falcons, the whole lot. So fluffy.
I really didn't want to leave I just wanted to keep hugging and petting her because she was so friendly and cuddly and happy to be petted. (turns out she wasn't nervous or crestfallen at all. greyhounds just kinda look that way, she loved pets and attention and was a proper cuddlebug). She gave kisses too <3
shoutouts to that time I went to this market/park thingy... they call it Highland Fling? up here in sheffield that happens regular every year and they had a greyhound rescue thing there and they were giving out pamphlets and info for their thing and they had these lovely, lovely greyhound dogs there and one of them looked so nervous and crestfallen the whole time but when she saw me just... sat beside me, and LEAAANNNED on me wagging her tail as I pet her. so good. so cute. so lovely ;w; <3
@theoutrider @SilviaFox@sleeping.town @MOKKA I mean sure videogames can be art but... I dunno I feel it's more accurate that they're a medium FOR art. also art is subjective as all fuckaroos and gamerchuds keep missing that fact.
@theoutrider @SilviaFox@sleeping.town @MOKKA I'm always wary about people who are like "Videogames are ART" unironically because they inevitably turn out to be jackasses at best or goobergapers at worst.
They get all gatekeepy about what constitutes a "real game" when really their critera are just "I LIKE IT SO IT'S THE ONLY TRUE GAME" and inevitably it's mass produced dross that caters to their bigotry and narrow minded shitstain of a worldview.
@theoutrider @SilviaFox@sleeping.town Right? I mean sure there was that huge rash of assetflips done by people just wanting to exploit the steam trading card economy to make a profit off that through pushing no-effort 'games' through steam greenlight with tons of trading cards, but dammit you could just as easily do the same with Unreal if it had as many predone assets.
@theoutrider @SilviaFox@sleeping.town heck yeah. :D Unity deserves way more respect than it gets.
