@djsundog the first two compact discs i personally owned were Béla Fleck: Live at the Quick and Don Ross: Robot Monster and i don’t listen to them enough tbh

@kat i was wondering why nobody ever seemed to want to talk to me or have a pleasant conversation but it turned out they were all terrified. go figure

@kat i am reminded of that one time i did a poll https://elekk.xyz/@jellyfish_link/105213560442496520

very curious imo

yet we talk about “what is the history behind zelda’s tense relationship with her father” (not: “what is the narrative function of zelda’s tense relationship with her father”) and “what does it say when the U.S. responds in such a way to China” (not: “what is the history behind the U.S.’s response to China”)

very interesting inversion; things are the way they are in a work of fiction in order to make a point; things are the way they are in real life for a multitude of reasons which are usually not consciously determined or sensibly organizable into a firm narrative statement

i think it is very interesting the extent to which People On The Internet seem to concern themselves with Why Things Are The Way They Are in a work of fiction and not on What Those Things Are Saying

contrarily i seem to find the opposite happening in real life

*speculates on lore*
very good analysis!

@monorail generally when i do games stuff in JS i have:

- event listeners, which write to a object which tracks input states

- logic loop, which reads input states and read/writes game state

- rendering loop, which reads (but does not write!!) game state and updates the page

@monorail yes with the caveat that with javascript generally you want to separate logic "frames" (which you run with setTimeout every N milliseconds) and rendering "frames" (which you run with requestAnimationFrame) [if applicable]

logic code can/should check input as a part of that

@sublingual well deciding the collective emotional value of a piece requires talking about it in public, but that's spoilers!! everybody should have the freedom to make up their own mind independently what a piece of art means to them, without reference to any sort of collective conversation, criticism, or understanding

in fairness the “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut currently sitting in the Notes app of my phone is really fucking good

i would like to remind potential employers that my academic area of expertise lies at the intersection of literary theory and sexuality studies

what if i published a “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut chapterfic

i’m a writer because anybody who writes long enough eventually gets good at writing (this is a lie) but you can always tell the assholes straight off (also a lie)

the problem with instrumental musicians is that anybody who makes music long enough eventually gets good at making music even the assholes

@Satsuma more to the point i guess i’m not a part of any writerly communities and certainly not any which are doing them for october
