masterpost long overdue, but I'll keep it simple ^_^

Hello! You can call me Elisa, and I usually just reblog whatever here 😅

Though I do have some sideblogs where I post my art:

@gaxio-farmhouse — stardew valley + expanded sideblog

@fantasy-elisa — roblox sideblog

#elisa's terrarium is my art tag in every sideblog! Including this blog since I used to post art here, hopefully this helps filter out the unrelated stuff :]

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

idk man sometimes i like it when video game writers are allowed to plan a series of events that happen in a specific order and affect each other in turn to become an overarching narrative, and i don’t mind trusting those writers to take me through those events in the order that is emotionally effective. i don’t really care if a game forces me to go through the forest area first before i can attempt the icy area because maybe there’s things that happen in the forest area that inform later scenes in the icy area. maybe we don't need more superficial player choice open world concepts if it comes at the cost of the ability to write a story with actual significant plot events and character development in each section

I don't know how to make this not sound mean but I'm not trying to be mean, so please know that going in.

Listening to a podcast about bodies and eating disorders and the body positivity movement of the last decade ish and hearing someone say (paraphrasing from memory here) "body positivity was all capitalism, there were no legislative changes, just new brands of jeans"

Legislative changes are super important but I cannot emphasize enough that jeans coming in bigger sizes and fat-friendly cuts is actually a really big deal! With meaningful impacts on people's lives (including mine)! Fat people do need clothes! And you may not realize this, but if you're over a certain size (that's not even that big a size) there's a very good chance you can go to a big box store and *not find anything that fits you*. There are towns in the US where if you're over a size 18 you need to drive an hour away or shop online to get things in your size. And they're expensive! "Just buy used" if they even have your size! Fat people want to look nice too. And we face enough judgement during job interviews (to give one example) without trying to do it in clothes that don't fit or are super uncomfortable.

Actually: If you're fat and you want to look cute/hot/masc/femme/etc I cannot recommend this website enough, you put in your measurements and it lists what brands have your size. You can filter for stuff like sensory friendly, nonbinary, masc, organic, etc. It's not AI just a database.

everyone rightfully complains about how the r word is back in vogue now but I think the people talking about how using ChatGPT makes you a small brained lazy degenerate are getting off way too easy

[butcherdyke]

there is something to be said about the erosion of literacy and comprehension skills (and composition skills) by the over use of LLMs. if you do less of something you’ll get worse at it. if you skip the hard part of something you won’t get better at it.

if you only ever eat fast food and never cook for yourself you will forget how to cook for yourself as well as you once did. if you always use LLMs to write your code or your emails or your stories you will lose your edge in writing those things. that’s real and inherent to outsourcing your technical skills, no matter what they are.

BUT ☝️ if you can’t have that conversation without evoking the specter of eugenics, then you’re not ready to have that conversation.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

one way to show the beta starbound inter-species relations is by the different inspect text for npc spawners (which were single-use craftables that existed before the tenant system)

apex, avian, floran, hylotl, and glitch spawners respectively:

there were human spawners too, but the wiki doesn't list any inspect text. i just love how there's such a variety of opinions, not just love/hate but also stuff like a disrespecting the glitch as mere machines or finding hylotl really annoying. anyways in release starbound everyone is supposed to be a big happy family more or less. in the finished game the relations are pretty much gutted which really stinks.

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

[legsdemandias]

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.
