Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

@AudreyJune (it doesn't feel hot as much as it... pinches? snaps?? it's rather unique. honestly i can deal with it much better because it's just over very quickly and doesn't linger. i tried electrolysis in middle school and that was a bit of a fucking ordeal for sure, especially going literal hair by fucking hair... =_= )

@AudreyJune ah, so it's a bit like the danger of having too much of a tan.

honestly i think the main difference may be that the med spas are the people who get to be sued there, instead of them, LMAO. if you look at something where there's various intensity levels, i think the solution - y'know, what they'd do at a med spa - is probably bump down the power. so start slow and work up.

but that's also good advice regardless, i know it took me a moment to get used to the sensation of it.

as we begin to approach pesach, i would like to volunteer my services as goybage disposal if there's any leftover charoset that needs getting rid of

@monorail i know i've made this joke a thousand times already but i always get a bit giggly since my dog is named holly

she would like to recommend two points for essential holly experience:

1. bark at squirrel

b) be called 'hollyollyoxenfree' if you're feelin' silly

also the buttons are a bit bigger which is very nice

see pic for size comparison

mostly just relieved i can actually play the games i want to in this flare instead of just pining for things i can't actually play because i only have one joy-con and getting super super smad about it.

also there's going to be two proper controllers now so theoretically i could invite a guest over to play! phwoaar

ok so i broke down and got a pro controller for my switch because of no guarantee that my joycon would be home from the wars in time for the upcoming splatfest

and can i just say

i actually really like this

very nice good purchase. i really like that the secondary pad is a proper + shape. the four round buttons was a bit confusing, here i can much more easily tell what they are in relation to each other, so i don't BOOYEAH when i meant to OUCH and seem delighted by being killed in spla2n...

We Are All This Hognose Snake

something something let's get that bread joke?

@AudreyJune honestly, it seems to be working pretty good for my PCOS beard. i think the worst case scenario is that you just have to smack it more emphatically, but it does mean you get to do touch-ups at home instead of schleping yourself out and handing an aesthetician more money. ...and if all else fails, hey, it should work great for legs! (i haven't tried that yet simply because chronic pain hates me if i try to pretzelfy myself into leg shaving poses lmao)

i wish stardew valley on switch had mod support

i want to go romance linus

...

and then the dwarf

and then krobus

....fuggit i just realized i probably should have like. cw'd that chat about hair removal stuff earlier.

also i'm tryin not to be all NOT THAT I'M GAY OR ANYTHING obnoxious but i do want to kinda let people know that when i jump into convos with transfemme folks i'm like... still cishet, just cishet with pcos and potential relevant tips, so that it doesn't feel like i'm gatecrashing? ooerrr this is hard and i have little brain but many painkiller

@AudreyJune no problem! :>

i find mine pretty easy to use. it whirrs intimidatingly as it cools itself but it's just kind of dramatic, not actually a problem. i haven't actually had any bad side effects other than "giving it 5/5, wooah now that's a little strong snap so let's just mosey on down to a 3 or 4"

..............i also think the one i have isn't *rated* for face, but uh, i haven't exploded yet soooo there's that? just, y'know, wear sunglasses and look away while using it probably.

@AudreyJune have you looked at pricing the little at-home units?

a proper facial laser thing is like, hella expensive, but for the fair skin + dark hair combo wombo, the high intensity light ones are pretty reasonable iirc? i have a remington ilight widgery thing. i admit i haven't been keeping up with it because spoons, but it has super cut the regrowth time basically immediately. https://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/g18715687/best-laser-hair-removal/ is a potentially useful article to browse! :>

@Alexis In Which Hellboy Experiences A Skyrim Mod Gone Wrong

i for one welcome the kudzu singularity

in the true post-apoc future, you won't need guns

you'll need goats

(to eat the kudzu.)

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz kickstarter to send post-nuclear-apocalypse writers a whole bunch of plants and fruits with a note of "you see these? yeah these were created just by tossing radiation at plants and look, they don't give a single fuck. cover your post-apoc in plants please and in the meantime enjoy this ruby red grapefruit and frilly-flowered african violet"

that is if the plants aren't going to be the apocalypse itself

CAMERA PANS OMINOUSLY OVER TO KUDZU... BEING KUDZU....

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz also much more accurate scientifically because people really over-estimate how much plants give a fuck about radiation

"Harp, are you just salty about EVERYTHING today?"

...

it's possible.

...

i'm gonna, uh, go get an ice pack and lidocane patch
