additional spicy takes

"snake eater" is the best bond film song

the same way "galaxy quest" is the best star trek movie

these are just facts.

"but all your fashion should be vegan!", someone may reasonably object

and honestly

i have gloves that have real rabbit fur trim and a pair of leather shoes. i think that particular boat has sailed. it has sailed and gone around the world and returned to port laden with exotic spices for me to use on my steak at dinner.

what i'm saying is if one wishes to critique my fashion for being non-vegan you got more stuff to deal with first over crushed up bugs in my eyeshadow, lol

unpopular makeup opinion:

i actually don't think every single bit of makeup needs to be vegan, and quite honestly i would rather have cochineal based pigment around my eyes than tones which have to be sold as "pressed pigment" with warnings to keep away from your eyes because they're made with red 40 and the FDA has not fully cleared it for use in eyeshadows

i don't think red 40 is unsafe mind you, but i do know that it does stain tae fuck lol

just give me some mushed up bugs it's fine.

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com HONESTLY, SAME... it was a very good game for just faffing around being zen in! and like on cue, just as i was kicking back and relaxing - HEY YO YOUR SHIELD IS DOWN YOU NEED MORE OXYGEN YOU NEED YADA YADA holy shit bad enough to tear my hair out.

i do miss the days when it felt like video games weren't always coming for you psychologically. it's like we've gotten out of the arcade and now every single game has become a ruthless quarter-muncher.

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com i'm sure that someone could (and probably has) done a full takedown of this with reference to monetization. i feel like free-to-play or fee-to-pay systems end up getting a whole lot more in on mental stress, and rather intentionally so, because so often the model is "how do we incentivize the player buying lootboxes/shortcuts/etc from our microtransaction shop?", but they're all too busy chasing whales than thinking of their average player. :T

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com honestly i completely understand this.

it's especially squidgey when a game can be both at once! i think mmorpgs are a big thing here for me. it's nice to kick back and chill with friends, but there's also that push to get on that grind yada yada...

and this is why i have little patience sometimes for survival games as a genre. if it feels like the game is constantly nagging me, it can completely ruin the otherwise chill time (NO MAN'S SKY.)

"hey harp the wigglytuff, why aren't you following me?!"

honestly just poke me and i most likely will! i just find that i spend most of my time hanging out in the federated timeline instead of the home timeline, so i haven't really gotten into the habit of following people that much.

it ain't me being a brat or vagueing you, it's just doofy brain at work. feel free to poke me if you'd like a follow back!

(you know i should actually watch cowboy bebop sometime instead of just jamming to the soundtrack but in my defense, the seatbelts are great so)

i'm also incredibly picky about my custom ringtones/custom alarm sounds after accidentally ruining a couple of songs for myself

i still have to sort of brace for the jolt of adrenaline every time i listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTnS4pzlTqQ because it was my ringtone in college for the longest time

in my defense, it's going to make a BALLER ringtone https://griffinmcelroy.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-fantasy-costco-jingle

i still need to figure out how to do custom ringtones on my phone and make its ringtone be the fantasy costco theme because i've just sort of accepted that i'm at that level of basic bitch in my life

me tonight -

tiny brain: i should keep forgetting to write captions for my pictures

medium brain: i should remember to write captions for my pictures so i can make whatever i post more accessible

galaxy brain: i should remember to write captions for my pictures because that's valuable real estate for secret stupid jokes that i'm just ignoring

anyway i hope as nintendo shuts down things like the store for wiis, we all remember it fondly by making more remixes of the songs, or at least jamming the fuck out to this one on the regular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBzfpsEyqeU

sometimes self-care is muting people who post in troll quirks

not because they are bad people or i don't want to see what they are talking about, mind you, but just because of the simple reason that the troll quirks hurt my head to read, on account of having a brain made of fluff and failure.

wait. hold on. this is mastodon. let me restart. sometimes praxis is

just... what a wonderful ending and moral that the poem builds to:

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

it's a shame i only came to know her work after she died, but this is very much worth your time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv_4xmh_WtE here is Mary Oliver reading her poem Wild Geese

@Chel it's the natural evolution from the medieval trencher and bread bowl

soon all of our dishes and utensils will be carbs and i for one look forward to the day this happens

@Chel science has given us the answer to this question

IF you accept that the answer can be "the second part of your meal" and/or "eating is a form of cleaning maybe"
