I don't miss being in tech AT ALL, but the thrill of finding a clever exploit is something I do miss. My favorite discovery ever was when I found several financial systems used an equivalent character conversion in the database that turned full-width Romaji into the ASCII-equivalent.

Blue Prince very pretty but so hard for orc lady.

Possibly going to start running tabletop games, and one of the first ones I'm teeing up is Good Society. If I can find some regular players I think it would be a lot of fun.

Craving media in which there are orcs who are just normal people who love their community and have their own unique problems as a people in the context of a larger community. (Yes I have seen tensura, I need more.)

My #2 reason for being a real-life orc lady. Folks who see a tall bulky trans woman with a skullet and tusks tend to telegraph their values quite openly and it makes it easy to spot the folks who are worth my time and love.

I will no longer be tolerating English after looking up the etymologies of several words. It's still my first language and what I need to use in my day-to-day, but I'm fed up and I will not tolerate anyone correcting how I write or speak my particular flavor of German-Greek-Latin + dumb accessories.

Oakland I am doing a violence in you.

Holy actual shit this was the culmination of YEARS of running gags and I didn't see the ending coming.

Used all of my frenzy rages unloading all my stuff and now I have like four levels of exhaustion and I am physically ill.

Oakland I am in you.

With the advent of a variety of handheld PCs and every modern controller working on PC I am making a hard swing off of console gaming. Sony is a fucking mess, Nintendo lost sight after Iwata, and Xbox is just a packaged PC, so fuck it. Have y'all played the new ENA game yet?

As someone with MULTIPLE Zelda tattoos on my body, I'm kinda fucking done with Nintendo just reusing the same map for FOUR GAMES and acting like they're doing *anything* with the series. If you're going to pose a bunch of questions in your game, DON'T MAKE THE DIRECT SEQUEL THROW EVERYTHING OUT.

I want all women/femmes to hear this: You could really stand to be about 20% a bitch. You don't need to go Full Bitch, but you don't need to be a door mat either. 20% is that sweet spot and I want you to aim for it. Allow yourself a little treat. 👍💙

Trying to reconcile my mother saying I'm "still young" with the fact that I thought "eh, I'll have a second cup of coffee, sure" and now my tummy hurts.

Okay here's a question: If I said, "Someone called me a f*ggot with a hard R." is that appropriative, or does that perfectly communicate the point in a culturally informed way? The language goblin in me finds this such an effective phrase but I don't want to be an asshole by misapplying it.

Seriously, though…

The Rhotic English R is a vowel. 🫩

Oh shit do you have any colleagues to send over to California, since Newsom has no business having any power in our state?
