@mightyspaceman If they’re upset or about to do something misguided because they didn’t understand the jokeness, it’s worth explaining. Otherwise, maybe not.
Speaking of Discords and puzzle games, I had reason to dig up this circa-2010 parody of both Braid and then-contemporary game streamers. I remembered it for "reverse tiiiime" but I had no memory of the time-loop microfiction that unfolds in the "chat window", so that was a fun discovery! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fABGyVzVwI
Speaking of parody videos from approximately 2010, I also dug up this video that I made around then, poking fun at the whole "Angry Video Game Reviews" genre that was ubiquitous at the time.
I haven't watched this in a long time and... it's pretty funny? Good job, past jmac?!
Is the best thing about #Helldivers the completely unironic “hug” emote, and the habit of quickplay mutual-randos to deploy it before disconnecting after a successful mission?
Like, “gg” is one thing, but this feels like a kind of aftercare policy spontaneously developed by the community of a violent video game and it is delightful. #Helldivers
My collection of strange little comix that I have found either directly through Mastodon posts or at zine festivals that Mastodon has pointed me to grows. I love it.
comrades, i have been informed that the slutty mayo has been eaten. for anyone just catching up, there was an actual jar of slutty mayo that i gave to my friend as a gag gift.
but, it was nearing its best by date and she never wants to waste food, so the mayo was used up, much of it going to the preparation of what i am assured was a very, very slutty macaroni salad. an honorable fate for any jar!
Automakers have thus far refused to give my proposal to replace the hum EVs make at low speeds with a recording of Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse” the hearing I believe it deserves.
First run in over a year.
Well… I say run…aggressive shuffle is a better descriptor.
Lessons learned:
PT informed me that I don’t have flat feet. 30 years ago or so a GP said I did and I never thought to ask again.
There is a new balance store one block from where I work. I must have crossed infront if it thousands of times - never noticed it.
The view from around the Jacquline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir never gets old. (Below, ironically, is an old photo…) #running#NYC#JKOreservoir
@alerdyn This is one of my favorite city views, which I get to enjoy every time I go out for one of my own aggressive shuffles (unless I choose Riverside Park instead).
After volunteering at the TTWU for a short while, I finally pulled the trigger and joined my company's #Union. I'm still learning how things work, but I hope I can be of some help!
Thanks to @jmac for telling me about his union experience and helping to nudge me in that direction
