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.

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

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

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.

i'm really tired of the discussion about it going totally the other way

"but it's in all of these other foods -" yeah bub, a lot of those foods are also common migraine triggers!

"but your body makes it naturally -" my dude, my body also makes hormones that cause migraines in me. that is no guarantee.

it is also true that sometimes somebody can get away with eating a little MSG and not reach that having-a-migraine level. still doesn't mean they're faking.

ok y'all

listen. i get that MSG has gotten a really bad rap. i know and understand some of that is pure racism, particularly against chinese immigrants, using bunk claims to 'other' this group and vilify them. i know that some people absolutely do make up what MSG can do and are totally lying about it.

however.

IT REALLY IS A MIGRAINE TRIGGER, AND A FAIRLY COMMON ONE AT THAT

who needs a heating pad for cramps when you have a dog?

(dog i love you but this is slightly inconvenient. #hollypls )

y cramps tho

Who Will Rid Me Of This Troublesome Uterus

(i am not actually that sorry) (but i am still somewhat sorry yes.)

i am. So sorry for that last post

anyway here is this rather lovely article

https://www.bbc.com/news/disability-47064773?fbclid=IwAR1ZovG79E1SY6k0DWQnD7cuFfBSEDJZXtuieRFlfP22JH85Mi7HqWsbTx4

if you play #WoW or #ffxiv or do roleplay in any sort of mmorpg, i would highly recommend this read

it's one of the rare articles from major news media that not only treats roleplay in mmorpgs respectfully, but as a positive thing, highlighting the lasting friendships that can result from them - and how important these can be to disabled folks.

bring tissues tho. you will cry.
