Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

@lynnesbian i can hear this toot perfectly and it slightly unnerves me how you managed to make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqztd7uMvVI into punctuation

just misread a subtoot as "jesus had good takes actually" and was momentarily a hair's breadth away from going full-on youth pastor to be honest

@fefairys oh hey i may have a solution for you

also this is a very late reply because i saw this drift past on the fed timeline and then got distracted by.... i don't even remember what. but anyway

https://www.amazon.com/Ballet-Flats-Foldable-Shoes-Purse-Silver/dp/B07BK2FYWL consider a pair of these for stuffing into your purse! that way you can wear the pretty shoes, and then when you want to dance, pull out your ballet flats, dance with impunity, and then switch shoes again for going back home and everyone oohing about your fashion :D

@boisdevache@guineapig.party i just don't quite know what exactly they expected to happen there lmao

.............also the fact that it's "i did one research paper on narcissistic personality disorder, therefore, i am now an expert" is just... a cornucopia of irony, honestly

"but i said take it with a grain of salt!!!!"

yeah but you also just did the exact fucking thing we're all here to discuss because it has hurt people

i don't think that half a sentence of disclaimer magically enables you to hurt and dehumanize for 3 paragraphs.

if you want to go cry about getting pushback for it, go cry to someone else

subreddit mods: hey here is a post where we can discuss doing better by people with certain mental health issues including NPD and BPD because there have been people hurt unintentionally lately

some asshole: hi i did one whole research paper about NPD and i think we shouldn't have to worry about NPD people ever getting hurt lol

me: dude

me: we are literally here bc people w NPD got hurt

some asshole: OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING MEEEEEEE

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
