is this christmas spirit? is this the cbd oil? who knows!!! either way hooray!!!

@Jacki@radical.town it usually says on the package somewhere! if it's just moisturizing, you can leave it on a lot more flexibly. but if there's any clay in it, or anything acidic (brightening, clarifying, acne-fighting), stick to the guidelines. 10 minutes is a pretty solid guesstimate there. :>

@daedalus ADORABLE!!! please give her extra pets from me!!!!

so my mom using one of her very, very limited save slots? a big deal. immensely so. but she did, just so her daughters could see a little pixel unicorn whenever they wanted.

so in summary: sometimes people are good! and the kindness we receive even if it seems small and silly can inspire us to pass it on to other people! and on that note i love all y'all and merry christmas! 💖

this may not seem like a big thing unless you've ever actually played a sierra point and click. but those things? unfair bastards. fucking unfair shitmonster games that will let you very easily get them into an unwinnable state, and not tell you that it's unwinnable until it's 5 hours later. oh, and lots of sudden deaths.

dark souls has nothing on sierra. and this is good, because soulsborne games are tough, but fair. sierra games ARE NOT FAIR. AT ALL. they are mean bastards.

ok back to happy gamer mom anecdotes:

to tell you all how much my mom loves me, when she was playing through king's quest 4 (which is a bastard of a #sierra difficulty point and click), she saved one of the (FEW. 3 at that time i think) save slots a one point in the game where you summon a unicorn by a waterfall. just so whenever me or my sister asked, we could see the unicorn, over and over again.

@tonitonirocca@snouts.online so i have no idea what's going on here to be honest, i just am seeing things drift by on the river of content that is the federated timeline

however

i would note that if people protest too much about content warnings for nsfw content, you may want to be ready to throw them out on their ear for it, because quite often their kink is not what they say it is (and are posting about), but instead *ambushing other people* with that. nsfw content. y'all prolly already know this tho.

though, infuriatingly, although my mom subscribed to world of warcraft FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, playing JUST the pet battles - JUST the pets!!!!! not anything else in the game!! at all!!!!!!

i still
can't
get her
to play
POKEMON.

but also seriously my mom is like that playing age of empires lol, she used to time dinner by a random game

@lugh @desvox i am adopting you now, and am now your new mom. you want to come play some age of empires 2 with me and your grandma? she turtles to hell but trust me once she gets resources built up she's unstoppable so we gotta plan to zerg her a bit.

seriously though, that is unmitigated dumbassery and i'm sorry you're having to go through that. :( i know i'm just a rando in the fediverse but if there's anything i can do let me know ok?

but honestly, i also blame them because in any given situation, blaming horny cishet men for the problem? pretty safe bet

MY lotus is a goddamn technological monstrosity that has to wheel herself around by lugging her servers and cables onto a pallet and then paddling around using her hands!!! the fact that lotus has an actual humanoid bottom half is a CONSTANT disappointment and, quite frankly, i blame horny cishet men for this terrible decision that leaves so much deep pathos and symbolism on the table.

real #warframe talk:

i'm still really disappointed that the lotus has, like, feet.

i promise this isn't a horney thing this is just disgruntled character design. for some reason i thought strongly that the lotus was just like, humanish top half, and then bottom half entirely wires, conduits, and ports, as she over the years became more and more entrenched in an information network so she could look after her beloved tenno children. BUT NO, SHE'S GOT, LIKE, FEET. C'MON D-E. WHY.

or warframe! warframe and candlenights specials go together like... um.... something? anyway gotta go get crimmas pressies from momma lotus, so

@gazimoff this is true!

but thankfully this is just more me seeing something roll past my federated timeline. i also know there's no way to ask "uh hey dude is this a funny or is this you in trouble" and have it not be a disaster, so, i think the better part of valour is queueing up another podcast and playing more splatoon LOL

and once more i face an awkward bit of being in a new corner of the internet and not knowing the general population all that well:

Is This A Genuine Moment Of Mental Health Crisis, Or Is It A Shitpost

@biholy i will gladly accept all rattie blessings, may you be blessed with many yogurt drops 💖
