[Pinned Post]

*grits teeth and tears off a strip of duct tape*

have some blog navigation.

  1. “#to all the posts i’ve pinned before”, a.k.a. “I Would pin these, but now this link list is my pin…” (last addition: 04/08/23 🛠)
  2. the tag where i keep up with/chime in on what tumblr is doing
  3. other category tags (updates as i remember them)
  4. if you’re off tumblr but still want to follow what i’m doing, you can append /rss to my themed view link, or any of the above tag links, and let a feed aggregator munch on it.

i made this post because when visiting posts from the dash as of roughly June 2023, clicking a tag takes you to the global tag page. this is fucking useless when over 95% of my posts, tagged and otherwise, are reblogs that by design don’t show in global discovery.

there are ways to maneuver around this, and i can help you find them if asked, but i need ease of use for my own blog so this directory is for me, first and foremost.

I had a note here requesting that animated profile pictures meet WCAG standards, but staff rolled the feature back to tinker with that, so we’re all cool 😎. for now

I tagged... o-ver-pow-ered. that spells op i'll give you that tag for free too. it has a few self reblogs that don't get put in the global tag. to all the posts i've pinned before

Where's the off switch to stop thinking everyone secretly hates you

elinaline

Now this is probably different for each person, but I think it has to be a conscious effort of countering every irrational thought of a friend secretly hating you.

I know firsthand how hard that might be when you've actually been used by people who didn't like you, but most people who ask you to be there with them want you here, and the thought that they might secretly hate you hurts both of you. It's also very mean to your friends to think they actually just want your harm.

All in all for me the thing that helped progressively do it is realizing that 1. I have no way to prove they hate me until they actually act it and 2. I hurt more in the long run if I keep second guessing everything, so it is more peaceful to assume neutrality at worse, and interpret stuff like not telling you an activity or not taking your preferences into account with forgetfulness than with mean intent.

It also does help a lot to find like one or two really close friends you connect to completely, and who can reassure you regularly that they like your existence just as much as you like theirs.

I also want to add, it really helps to be open about saying no with your friends. Once you can trust them to tell you when they dont feel like hanging out (or anything else really), it will be easier for you to accept that they like you when tell you when they want to hang out again.

This goes both ways, and it requires some work to get used to. But you can start with small things, like telling your friends your preferences, or just voicing your honest opinion on stuff.

I understand that for cultural reasons, being honest and saying things outright can be seen as rude, but your friends will know you mean well and they wont mind it. (And im sure, if you have autistic or adhd friends, they will appreciate it too)

… what would you go for?

Sierra SCI (old style with parser)

Sierra SCI (new style with icon bar)

LucasArts SCUMM (old 12-verb style)

LucasArts SCUMM (new 9-verb style)

Gobl(i{1,3})ns style

Verb coin style

(You thought this was gonna be a reblog of the other poll but it was me, Dio! didn't you?)

Games like Simon the Sorceror counts as "New SCUMM" style for the purposes of this poll. Likewise, even though Gobl(i{1,3})ns style implies a popup window with the inventory, King's Quest 7 could be counted as such considering it only has implied-walk, interact/take, and use-item cursors. And as such, this is about the interaction model and UI, not the graphical style. After all, Thimbleweed Park has old style character graphics but a new style 9-verb UI.

I tagged... verb coin. and gimme that tasty 256 colour palette while we're at it

i am all of me (victor mcknight/snapcube cover) - go ahead and try to see through me, do it if you dare / one step forward, two steps back, i’m here

어떻게 말해 how can i say (day6) - baby you say so brightly that you love me / i want to say i do too (no, no, no)

flickering image warning

geocities (lemon demon) - will you please make the border safe for our w-eastern listeners: good eve-noon radio audience

I tagged... these lines are my favourite because they're the ones i repeat to myself. i admit with the day6 i do not say the words when i reblogged this game i was like 'i have 48hrs of music here! i'll be fine' but a third of that is fully instrumental geocities came on and i was like 'do i skip this?' but the next song listed was a starkid and i went. that's not going on my blog today musics yes i could have just posted two at that point!

being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind

I tagged... and then here they made it so that if you failed enough units at uni you had to pay upfront and i went fuck that literally the only thing that kept me at school was knowing i had the chance to retry and take my time and then the government uh. took that away :D
