"only a poor artisan blames his tools" is such bullshit, in almost every imaginable line of work the quality of the tools you have access to plays a massive role in the quality of the end product, sometimes in excess of the role played by individual skill! For example, some people have to code in javascript

I did it. I finished the Advanced lobby

#ash.txt #ash plays celeste #ash plays strawberry jam #this was an amazing experience and I'm so glad I did it #I think this is my favorite lobby so far #I might type up some of my thoughts on the individual levels at some point but that's it for now

#polls #my warrior of light is now in celeste #well. technically I was playing SJ so I guess it depends on if she has to survive modded celeste or just vanilla #vanilla celeste is probably safer than 90% of the stuff she normally has to deal with #and tbh I think the mountain would be good for her #but if she has to survive some of these SJ levels there might be a few problems

so I've been playing Strawberry Jam again, working my way through the advanced lobby, and I've now beaten every green and yellow advanced map!

#this is such a different feeling compared to doing intermediate lobby two and a half years ago #when I finished int heartside advanced felt kind of intimidating #but right now I'm not even at the advanced heartside yet and expert is already feeling attainable #when SJ first released advanced had me thinking “maybe someday I could do this” but expert was “I'm never making it this far”#so it's wild that expert is almost a given‚ GM is my “maybe someday I could do this” and there just isn't an “I'm never making it this far”#ash.txt #ash plays celeste #ash plays strawberry jam

When using the Ctrl/Cmd and Shift keys on a physical keyboard, do you more often use the ones on the right or the left? Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Right-handed; mainly use RIGHT ctrl/cmd and RIGHT shift

Right-handed; mainly use RIGHT ctrl/cmd and LEFT shift

Right-handed; mainly use LEFT ctrl/cmd and RIGHT shift

Right-handed; mainly use LEFT ctrl/cmd and LEFT shift

Left-handed; mainly use RIGHT ctrl/cmd and RIGHT shift

Left-handed; mainly use RIGHT ctrl/cmd and LEFT shift

Left-handed; mainly use LEFT ctrl/cmd and RIGHT shift

Left-handed; mainly use LEFT ctrl/cmd and LEFT shift

I use them pretty much equally

I don't use them enough to know

#polls #I'm right-handed and I use left shift but both control keys #if I'm using shift it's usually because I'm typing out text #and for text it doesn't matter which shift key I use. I assume left is just the one I used when learning to type #I default to left control for shortcuts I only use when typing out text #the ones I use most often are probably Ctrl+Shift+U to insert character by unicode code point and Ctrl+Backspace to erase word by word #I also use left control for shortcuts involving the arrow keys or the mouse #but that's just because my right hand isn't in any position to press control if it's busy using the mouse or pressing the arrow keys #for shortcuts I regularly use for more than just typing out text I use the same hand for control as I do for the rest of the shortcut #e.g. I can send ^C and ^D to a terminal with just my left hand and given how often I use those two in particular that's very convenient #or I can copy and paste one-handed‚ which is especially great when selecting text with the mouse #bc I don't have to move my right hand back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse all the time #I can also zoom in and out one-handed with Ctrl++/-#which isn't actually that useful‚ and I usually just Ctrl+Scroll instead #but mentioning it gives me an excuse to make y'all see that atrocity of a shortcut abbreviation so I'm bringing it up anyway

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT you are allowed to feel proud of yourself for things that might seem silly to other people, like getting better at a video game or putting together a nice outfit for the next morning or finishing a book. You deserve to feel proud for your accomplishment.

#look some days I'm proud of myself for registering for a college class for the first time in over ten years #other days I'm like yay I remembered to eat lunch today. and I'm proud of myself for that too!

based on common definitions I can find, a garment is "a piece of clothing" (Cambridge) or "a single article of clothing" (Merriam-Webster).

as far as I can tell shoes are taxonomically clothing but the entire clade of footwear is also treated as distinct "due to their specific function and unique role in fashion".

so I present this question to the poll of public opinion:

is a shoe a garment?

yes

no

feel free to explain your rationale in the notes, and please reblog for sample size!

#polls #it feels like they shouldn't be but I can't come up with an actual reason why they should be excluded #other than the arbitrary and completely circular logic of them clearly not being garments #so I guess shoes are garments is the fashion equivalent of people are fish

sometimes JRPGs will be like "hey, here's a character for you to get super attached to" and then 40 hours later the game forces you to fight them with life-or-death stakes while listening to a boss music track that perfectly captures the emotional impact and turmoil of the fight but also goes so hard it rewires your brain

#oh hey I found the post!#but yeah the song I just reblogged from the vgm poll blog is the track I had in mind when I made this post
