Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

i impulse-bought some kitty paw joystick covers that are just a wee tiny smidge too big for the switch joysticks

however, i regret exactly nothing about my purchase

look at how cute. loooooook

@caymanwent@snouts.online i've heard good things about that one! well ok, i've heard good things about their pliny the elder beer, but i assume both pliny beers are good and riffing off one another

i know jack shit about beer honestly but i do know that one of my fav podcasts, Sawbones, very much approves and got pretty tipsy drinking the pliny the elder beer during a live show once lol

i mean, the circus theme can fuck right off. i don't know why they went with circus music. makes me want to shake the designer by the shoulders and yell STOP CHEAPENING YOUR IDEAS AND PRODUCT

but 'veil held up by balloons' actually... looks interesting? like. i'm down. i cannot tell a lie, i am down with that. it's completely over the top, but the way it moves is cool.

you know what's terrible?

i don't actually hate this

unfiltered on L, filtered on R

it's a little bit dark in one area (which is like... vikings-ish. northrend vibes lol), but i really like the punch up in color for things like the butterflies.

another day i'll probably look at other people's presets and see if i can play off somebody else's good ideas instead of just trying stuff straight out the box with no modification, but....

im tired

im hors.

theeere we go. first pic before, second pic after. not a super dramatic difference but punching up the colors is nice.

80 fps with 30% cpu.

YOU'RE SLACKIN', EDI. YA SLACKIN'. WE GOTTA FIND YOU MORE WORK TO DO. and by that i mean i'm gonna finish this quest and then see about installing reshade because y not

see look at this.

My Laptop Can Do More Work.

@InspectorCaracal yeah, it is, alas :( i believe it's free-to-start up to a certain level though? and the subscription isn't that terrible (it's less than 'proper mmorpgs', and comes with a weekly allowance of the special money).

honestly i scooped up a "pay once for lifetime sub" thing awhile back which means i get to be really chill about it. no fussing about handing them money every month or guilt about "but i paid so i gotta". and i get the allowance of coins when i'm not playing so lol.

i will say that altho i appreciate my secret shame mmo keeping it rather lo-tech, even in bits they're redoing, to make it as accessible as possible so that Grandma's Old Computer can run it

i kinda wish there was... More

like... my laptop, all graphics on highest settings, is hitting 80 fps.

it can do more work.

i'm tempted to slap reshade on this and see what it do

@InspectorCaracal they used to be Much Worse (for the starter horses especially) but thankfully they've redone things significantly! i ragged on the company a whole lot about a year ago all "oh that's a lot of big talk about improving the game ya dicks where's the beef" and i'll be damned they're actually doing it lmfao

(I JUST LIKE STOMPY HORS MOAR) (but i'm glad they redid the starter horses because that's your like... 'story partner' for the story quests at some points)

@InspectorCaracal I ACTUALLY QUITE LIKE IT BUT IT'S VERY MEANT FOR LIKE 13 YEAR OLDS SO YOU GOTTA LIKE

NOT EXPECT SHAKESPEARE Y'KNOW

the starter horses are, i think, still shit, but i am also way too attached to my sport freisian, because Big Hors.... Good. Stompy Hors.... GUD.

anyway here's an ancient post on my sso tumblr showing some hors if u wanna see wat kind hors there is http://harper-deerstar.tumblr.com/post/169741020076/so-i-realize-i-havent-done-a-full-roundup-of-all

@InspectorCaracal THERE ARE EXTREMELY HORSE MMOS YES BUT STAR STABLE ONLINE IS I THINK THE BEST

MANY HORSE.

SO MANY HORSE.

@InspectorCaracal MY SECRET SHAME MMORPG THAT'S WHAT

(star stable online. it's star stable online. it's just like a line of that pure horse girl shit, cut neat.)

i was playing my secret shame mmorpg and they redid an npc and he's hot now and i am all ohno.gif about it

see picture (this does not show off his rather nice nose)

are y'all ready for an incredibly cishet moment from me

because i'm looking at myself going "wow harp. that's very het of you." right now

@lillyfox@snouts.online honestly i am so fucking thankful that apparently around the time i became diabetic, my body decided artificial sweeteners weren't migraine-worthy anymore

and it's an INCREDIBLE minefield to try and avoid them these days, too!

i mean, ultimately, am i a racist? i'm white so the answer is inevitably yes.

but i don't think my body deciding to give me a migraine after eating msg is exactly evidence of that, especially when most of the time i'm going "aw shitdicks, i knew i should've eaten only one little bag of doritos"

migraines are weird. they're just like that sometimes.

i just really wish people would stop jumping up and down ready to call someone a racist for saying "MSG gives me migraines".

migraines are weird. msg gives me migraines sometimes. no, it's not me working myself into a tizzy because i ate chinese food and hate chinese people. it's been me going "fuck, does KFC have msg in it? ...aw fuck me, it does huh" the day after eating it when half my vision is spangly sparkly bullshit.
