Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

Discord is a communication tool. It's for chatting and voice calls during gaming sessions with friends, like TeamSpeak before it. That's its main use-case!

Using it for anything more than that is just you making things harder for yourself and everyone else

Everything you do on Discord is invisible to the open internet and not crawlable by search engines and thus not discoverable to anyone not joined on your server

It's going against everything that makes the internet itself useful in the first place: free flow of information

Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

I hate this trend of everything needing to be on fucking #Discord

Fuck your little private treehouse club that’s badly managed and barren because you learned the hard way community management is a full-time job too much to handle for a single person

Use better, open tools ffs

Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

Wikis are useful because it's open to everyone

GitHub/GitLab is useful because it allows everyone to view what the code does, what issues are already reported and provide fixes

NexusMods is useful as a one-stop-shop for every mod for every game ever

Discord is none of that

hey anyone out there good with texture work? i need some work done. i can pay. :boost_ok:

My headphones broke last week (I'm suspecting frayed enamel wiring between the ANC power and signal in one ear), a friend ordered me a new set as a gift, and as a bonus, the airplane adapter that came with it is the precise thing I need to replace a broken jack on a lapel mic my old roommates left behind so I can use it as a way to record and maybe amplify my classical guitar for experimental purposes? Hmmm

At times I feel like understanding #parody is a lost art. A running #pinball joke for loose coil wires has been "it should be wireless so this won't happen". As a gag I cut of the wire lugs from a dead coil and printed a custom Bluetooth wrapper for it. I posted that on social media.

The amount of "it can't work", "scam!" and calling me incompetent and/or stupid was just unbelievable. Some took time to explain why this can't possibly work. All this after all the PCB repair work I've posted.

Grumbling about Gaza politics. 

Can't help but notice that every article I'm being served about the hostage exchanges doesn't seem to question why Israel just has like 50 Palestinian kids on hand to exchange for their citizens.

Someone made a live action version of the opening scenes of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. VFX are a bit rough, but it captures the spirit of the original, I'd say. youtube.com/watch?v=LC4rfauJKP

I'm finishing up two commissions and moving to the next couple soon, so there are two slots opening if anyone wants anything :artsits:

(ICYMI I am paying for an adhd assessment, so decided to open my commissions for the first time in YEARS)
