social anxiety vent
if there's *anything* I want to get better at, it's having one-on-one conversations with folks and not just posting on group chats.
it's hard for me to get out of that mindset of "I only need to message someone if I need to ask them for something", though.
is there a trick to socializing that I'm missing?
Another month passes by and I got more cash from the folks who support my Patreon.
It always amazes me that there's people that care about my stuff enough to throw a buck or two my way, honestly.

found out that World's Wildest Police Videos is on YouTube and have been casually rewatching them.
That was one show that I used to watch a lot, primarily because of the shocking content.
Nowadays it's a bit of a harder watch, especially when some of the police's actions are lauded and praised.
It's a thing that could potentially work as an essay about how prevalent cop shows were in the 1990s...
hey if I want to listen to elvis costello and the attractions' "(I don't want to go to) Chelsea" on loop for a half hour I should be allowed to without being shamed for it
Forgot how good the soundtrack to Valis III on the Genesis was.
(I should probably play it sometime.)
mild spoilers for myhouse.wad, a doom level
I mean, that eerie tune that plays during myhouse definitely hits me in a way I didn't expect.
@aquinton right, yeah.
I've realized over the past few months that I'm like, more open to checking out new things and whatnot, something I would've been more hesitant to do pre-transition and pre-HRT.
And yeah, most of the new things I'm willing to try come from familiarity with it, so I agree with that sentiment
New on the Secret Area: It's Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit.
A story of "how the hell did I get this game?" had me finding a perfectly average action-platformer.
Likes, shares and comments appreciated, as always.

On LRT there: not only is staying on Twitter "because your livelihood depends on it" kind of a short-term notion at this point, but it can poof in an instant. My studio account over there is still banned. Straight up. No explanation. I appealed the decision weeks ago. Nada. It's just gone.
I get that you need to keep posting stuff there right this second, that's fine, but HOLY CRAP do not keep relying on it moving forward. You need to be actively migrating away, rapidly, with all haste, to literally anywhere else, because that place is (already) toast.
