trans stuff, anxiety 

I'm gonna be hanging out with a bunch of cis people for the first time since I came out tomorrow night. I'm scared because I know a bunch of people are gonna be like "but avery, you don't look any different" and just... hrrrrk

played half an hour of morrowind: it was fun! but I think I'm gonna add some more mods? idk

trans stuff, names 

When I get my name changed, I'm gonna need to change my last name as well (because my legal last name is way too distinctive).

I'm conflicted between making my name "Avery Lychee" or "Avery <something normal>"...

Hey everyone~

I had an ok day at uni:

* missed my first lecture
* had some nice brunch
* 2nd lecture was capitalist propaganda: tediously evil edition
* had a laksa that wasn't anywhere near spicy enough
* oh god I spent so much money on food
* fun tutorial at the end

I didn't go to bed, I instead finished modding morrowind... it only took 2 hours...

eniway, I'm gonna sleep now

hey it's late o'clock and I need to wake up in 7 hours, so I'm heading to the snooze-or-lose zone

I really wanna play morrowind with mods, but it's gonna take 45 minutes to download and I have to go to bed in 45 minutes ::(

What if #ProjectKobold was actually a browser in it's own right, but instead of browsing the web, you browse a web of 2D platformer or topdown environments.

A playable web, where we can meet and talk to others browsing. And possibly with a privacy mode, where you're in your own instance of everywhere you go (that is, not connected to the server, just exploring the "site").

C (negative) 

I hate that C is still the main programming language people learn, because it's fucking old and nobody wants to move on from it because "it's fast and it's too hard to learn anything else", even though the vast majority of languages are EASIER TO USE AND LEARN THAN FUCKING C

I have had this very conversation myself, many times.

It's remarkably similar to talking to economists about growth and thermodynamics.

I had a conversation with a bridge engineer one evening not long ago. I said, “Bridges, they are nice, and vital, but they fall down a lot.”

He looked at me with a well-worn frustration and replied, “Falling down is what bridges do. It’s the fate of all bridges to fall down, if you don’t understand that, you don’t understand bridges.”

you're all posting faster than I can read...
please slow down for the slow lizard...

when my family had an XP computer, I installed a hack onto it that allowed me to set a universal password, so I could access anyone's account

it's interesting that if you look at someone's profile on mastodon, they look way less active than they would on bird site, but it's because they're actually interacting with each other!

since being on here, birdsite feels really impersonal...

ah heck, I was in the middle of a long post, then replied to someone and lost the post...

it's midnight and my mind is dying, so I'm gonna go to bed...

good night everyone!

(and especially good night to you. yes, you.)
