I embraced the allegations
Por clgreature
pathetic
Dumb bitch
stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe
Stop projecting
no you
My lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool
you called?
no
ultra zealot when the dd288 shows up
good afternoon calliope, are we feeling
today?
yes 
eh
better than yesterday at least 😔
I am blasting you with positive energy
I had an ear infection and yesterday I stumbled from the loss of balance and hurt my back so yesterday was just a wash. Took the day off work laid up in bed.
Ear infection is mostly over, back still hurts but not as much.
damn, that sucks
on the bright side, bed day_?_
anyway goodnight calliope i found a dress that has cartoon macarons on it and i think i'm in love
i don't even like macarons
I do
but it's the lesbian cookie
oh god dammit
can't say i've heard the term lesbian cookie used in reference to macarons before
nor have i
like i've heard it before just never for macarons
ok phew it's just ada thiking everything is lesbian again we're good
every day i thank whatever rotting corpse of the gods remains out there that i was never on 4chan
yeah probably for the best
i've met a person who was on the 4chan transboard once
she seemed so normal and then she opened her mouth and it was like "oh my fucking god"
almost turned me catholic again
ohhh no /tttt/ is hell
tttt_?_
that's the trans board
I have a friend that goes there sometimes and I keep this on standby if she starts using their terms around me
mine's cool because its blue
not to be a misogynist on main but it's crazy how hot so many trykes are until they start speaking /j
what is a tryke
Don't get me wrong 4chan was never good but it really got worse after 2015 or so and never recovered. I mostly stopped going there around then, bu-
TRYYKES
trans dyke

first time Ive heard that one
waht is a dyke
uhm-
A small dam
-# damn
and also a reclaimed slur originally used against lesbian woman
ah
i think it's most commonly used amongst the trans sapphics who aren't as online/or ar raver girlies
that weird middle ground between str8 cokehead doll and discord t4t polycule puppygirl
the true transfem spectrum
i got jumpscared by an oil puddle
hey bun~
playing votv slipped on a puddle of oil and it spooked me
lesbian cookie!
also why is the pause button the same button as "dismount quad"
what the hell developer
Sometimes I see chat going and I think, "Man, I really shouldn't talk right now and wait for a change in subject."
remember when gearbox first acquired ror2
and the game burst into flames
i do not no because i never played ror2

the "joke" or justification or whatever is the shape of the cookie when it's on it's side, btw
Oh.
I still haven't gotten the DLC because of that whole debacle
Thank you silly french man on my phone. I'm hoping i go to that place i interviewed today and they decide to hire me
I hope they do!
They have 2 locations so I'm going to ask them if they can't slot me in here how about the other one
Not a bad idea
I know both locations are hiring and the other location is opening soon so they still need a lot of people
Its been almost 2 weeks tho, nervous
It's a good idea to check back in. Some places are jerks and want you to prove you're "determined" or something by making you come back to them.
Yeah, and i think 2 weeks is a good time frame for that
Yeah, I'd agree
And this place seems cool so i imagine they may just be busy with the other location
Maybe, doesn't hurt to check and let them know you're flexible
true
The mean part of my brain is telling me its not worth it because they weren't going to hire me anyways but i want to believe it will work out
I'm proud that you're not listening to that part of your brain.
yeah!
it wouldn't work out if you didn't try
Have you applied for the opening's at the other location? They might be under different management entirely and not share their applicants.
There's this too, wouldn't hurt to do, because if they do share applicants they'd see you really want in
go in spite of the mean part of your brain!
Its the same manager but i might as well, I'll ask them today
ah, alright. Hell yeah on the followthrough!
Like during my interview one of them was the manager for this location and the other was the overall manager
my thought process was that i've been through this before, multiple times. last time was even my fault too, but i always make it out somehow
unfortunately for my friends that means i have to be a parasite but idk, they say they're fine with it
jumpscared by a pinecone
You're playing Voices of the Void
you'll be jumpscared by the air itself
yes
not really?
god i still need to play teh dlc
yes you do
VotV has a Kerfus robot so its peak
i'll do it tomorrow for real this time
<- will just play more risk of rain
FUCK I NEED TO EAT AAAAAA
video of me
i love drifter my boymode failwife
||which one haha||
haha....
i almost beat it last night but i had drifter cube
so i just kept getting blasted because you HAVE to be close range
arizona weather moment
for about 180 seconds i just had nonstop lightning and thunder and fast as fuck winds blowing hail into my windows
then the sun came out and lit the sky up printer paper white
and now it's over completely
Asphodelian moment
those BWitches are at it again
None of the managers are here today :(
At least its a nice lunch... That I can't realistically afford
Who keeps asking me to speak in the void. I live here. Stop poking it
There's always tomorrow
i just emailed, i can't afford to go there every day lol
Fair enough
can we use the void as a dumpster? it seems infinite
No, I live here :c
Can I stare at the void or does it make you uncomfortable?
Can I share my feelings with the void? Even if they are trash?
Can I give a lil smooch to the void
seems like you're just trying to throw trash into the void again
Can I hold the hands of the void and say thst everything will be okay
wretched beast
i am grabbing lunch while im running errands rn and its nice to see some things never change
theyre also playing anime openings on the radio 😭
real
Siblings innit
unrelated who wants to be roommates with me
I would take that deal in a heartbeat
and they were roommates
something something you guys live like 10 minutes away from each other because oregon exploded
If I wasn't in a full house or another country
Wait, Sele aren't Char and sele room mates in the Saturday game
oh i was making a joke about being a little guy and we beat the shit out of each other
but sure
-# you mean we're not going to beat the shit out of eachother? 🥺
come over
over what?

cat.
WHAT
no im not that cute
no this is her
this is her (for real this time)
I think we can be that cute if we try. Nods
getting back into digital art and with a new program, pc and stylus. I decided to very roughly sketch my cat's tree in front of me
what program are you using?
gimp v3
do you like it? ive been on krita for probably 10+ years and havent tried anything else lol
krita is great
i still dont have opinions on gimp cuz.. this was default pencil brush
i just opened it and used it as a sketch pad
i used to do everything in Paint Tool Sai v2 way back
and honestly, i miss the sheer simplicity of it
felt very ms paint +++
mood
so that's gimp or krita
and both are excellent
im sure there's more, but i only recall those two
Using a gimp is cool
this isnt about Gnu Image Manipulation anymore is it
anyways today fucking sucks
i haven't had the power to start literally anything except the sketch i posted
it sucks a little extra because i can very accurately tell exactly why and what is causing me to not do anything.... AND YET
real as fuck, aint that a mood
i miss the days when i was an anxious mess for no reason
executive dysfunction moment
mine day's not like horrible or anything but i did start it off feeling really fucking stupid, i told one of my employees id give them a ride to work and then overslept by like 4 hours
my day was actually very good, until my mother gave her unsolicited opinion on the fact that i take antidepressants just because my eyelids are flaky for some reason rn
id say she's old fashioned but uneducated is probably more correct
I love staring at my computer knowing I should stop browsing youtube/discord/civVII/etc and do some diss work and then just not changing my behaviour for 4 hours even though Im not even having fun. It's very cool and normal 
REAL
and the worst part is the meds always somehow make it worse, at least for me
i was supposed to get a lot of work done today and i spent the day walking around grocery stores confusedly
even with my headphones in i was like wow too many sounds my brain doesnt work anymore
see my thing is that the meds work but my parents are weirdly insistent that they dont
it seems like the only thing i can focus on lately is the module i'm writing
i genuinely feel better but because my resting face isnt actively smiling or im sad over one thing ever it actually means the meds are horrible and useless
its like... motherfucker, i am sick. i need medicine to make me feel better. if i had no leg would you deny me a prosthetic because its not already in my body
HOLY SHIT SO TRUE, my most recurrent issue is that anytime i start sneezing (having an allergic attack, caused by, the cat i have, and i have diagnosed being allergic to cats mind you), my mom gets crazy thinking that im terribly cold and having pneumonia, even in the peak of summer. worse part is that my body regulates heat horribly, i stand cold super good but anything above 20 celsius makes me sweat already.
it makes me start to want to have silent sneezing just so she leaves me alone, even knowing how dangerous that is 
aw jeez im sorry to hear
-# silent sneezing is dangerous?
yes, you can hold the sneeze in and disrupt something in the lungs or irritate the gums or hurt your eardrums
-# by what i mean by silent sneezing is doing no noise at all, so letting no air outside. thats can be dangerous
What I love is when I ask my siblings to stop a behavior and get told I'm being a baby. It's like, no I'm asking you to knock it off because it genuinely kinda hurts my feelings when you "playfully bully" me. I hate that shit when they're "sarcastic" or "teasing". It's like, hey dude being told you think I smell or that you worry about my weight as a joke isn't funny, or playful. It's disrespectful and kinda hurtful.
-# uh oh... I do that all the time...
silent sneezing is making all that pressure go into something
oh god i have an uncle that does that shite to me
i sneeze like a cat
its like, "playfully bullying" but that playful bullying consists of indirectly saying im fat (really amazing considering the ED)
very like "khh"
though occasionally he calls me a girl for doing something "non masculine" (such as being vegetarian, apparently), which i find really funny nowadays
ah shite ive done the thing again
ive hijacked your message to talk about myself gug
sorry
It also really bothered me that she didn't let us know that she'd had a beer earlier despite wanting to drive. Sure it was an hour ago but sis you cannot handle your liquor.
Eh, it's fine. We're all allowed to rant. Also I sorta hijacked you first.
god i cant fucking stand when people do that!!!
hey what the fuck. drinking and driving what
That's what I'm saying!!
hey we're 5 minutes into driving now is a good time to let everyone in the car know i have been drinking
Oh no, Daizy didn't tell us. My mom did!
After we got home.
or when my dad refuses to let me drive him after hes had a few drinks bc he likes driving and "gets anxious as a passenger"
why is drunk driving ok for so many people lmao
my family has refused to let me drive because "you look angry" (i always look angry)
And the thing is, I didn't really notice because Daz always has to be going fast and sitting on people's asses. It's like, "Daz, it's raining, give them fucking space!"
and then get in the car after having wine with dinner
christ
i have no clue! i hate it
Bleh, sorry, just really annoyed. I love my siblings to death, but they can get on my fucking nerves and I worry about Daz because she drinks often. Like a beer a day. Which isn't a lot but it's still alcoholism.
i didnt even get my license until i was 22 because my parents didnt want me driving as a kid and obviously when im at school i dont need a car
i had to have my friend teach me to drive at 21 years old lmfao
oh absolutely alcoholism yeah, even if not extreme. im sorry to hear
Yeahhhhh it's not the most worrying thing, but I do wish she would stop drinking. I'm glad I never had a phase like that and that I basically never touch any alcohol.
I might drink a little bit at a celebration or family gathering, or get a bottle of wine for the weekend and then end up only having a single glass.
i have probably one or two drinks with a meal once a month
My wine bottles last so fucking long because I almost never drink.
my parents were both big alcoholics/addicts throughout my childhood and i just didnt want to be that when i grew up so i don't ever really have a desire to not be sober lol
that said, i do enjoy wine and cocktails and stuff, maybe a beer if it's not a shitty one, but it's like. one
yeah same, it always tasted like iron to me
i do drink occasionally and i enjoy it, but its not at all often
i have a bottle of gin i've had for like a year
-# unsolicited Juli fact: The only achohol I’ve had in my life was… maybe half of half a glass of wine?
i have a bottle of wine that i've had for like 3 years
i left in a friend's car when i moved and just decided fuck it, its his now lmao
oh man, wine specifically, is on my shit list. I cannot be in the same room as an open bottle
i wish they made whisky that wasn't alcoholic bc man. very tasty
nice!
oh? id be curious to hear why
nah you're the one winning at life, you arent missing out on much
it's a suffocating smell. I think it's a bit of a trauma thing?? I remember my aunt opening a bottle after it was in a hot car trunk for like 12 hrs
i love wine but i'm not gonna crack open a bottle just for me
uhhh, nasty
it shocks people for some reason when i tell them i've never smoked and have no interest in doing so, apparently i "give off stoner vibes" which i think is .. untrue
More the fact:
- I've never drank alcohol
- I've never had caffeine (outside of tea)
- I've never done drugs
eeww yeah that would do it
so now all wine smells like that
Never started and don't plan on starting
yeah i got this all the fucking time because i'm not an asshole
same!
i add to my list to have never smoked :D
never had caffeine is crazy to me, but honestly good on you! im far too reliant on it
"you're just so chill" yeah its called being autistic and respectful
YEP
its always "you're always chill and you always talk about love and kindness" for me
Rawdogging life rn
i've tried a whole bunch of things because im an extremely curious person but i dont particularly care for most of it
its rough bro
caffeine is more a necessary evil to me
i got drunk precisely once and it was a terrible accident
weed is nice, nothing else seems worth it at all
i had taken the painkillers that make you drowsy and then drank a slushy that i didnt know had alcohol in it
weed is nice, thats true, i just dont know where to get it here lmao
i've been drunk, and i can barely tell it's happening until i can't fucking think and that sucks a lot
i thought i was going to die. i dont know if that counts as drunk its more like, poisoned i guess
but
i wouldnt be a stoner anyway that shits expensive
when i get really drunk i just derealise which sucks major ass
holy hell
idk how familiar people here are with derealisation or depersonalisation though
...why did that last message get a blush react
-# not a goddamn clue, cathy...
oh i thought it was 
lmao
i need whatever is like a temporary lobotomy
i cannot be allowed to make decisions for myself
for me its more like severe brain fog and an inability to do anything meaningful
apparently when i get anxious i have a tendency to not respond to people speaking to me until like 30 seconds after they say it and i dont know what i'd classify that as
it was supposed to be
me. you.
what are we getting?
Sushi of course
gas
Goddamit why is there a giani dub of it...

GHOOD HEAVENS
no, I can't

well now i have to know
also, bookshelf constructed, lancer core book placed front and center
why the fuck does moving take so long? who knows
but the little pieces of progress feel good
Don't worry about it, June
I moved into my new place last in june (heh) And I still haven't completely unpacked
i stg i cannot beat this boss in ror2 i am going crazy. it's genuinely making me frustrated
i had a god run and i STILL couldn't do it with me trying to cheese the boss. like what the fuck else can i do
idk when i got so bad at this game idk why i bother
is it possible the boss is just not designed well and is too difficult
afternoon calliope
i mean people who don't suck at the game seem to be fine
hello jam
its not an easy boss but like i was right there, that was a run that shouldn't have lost to really anything
and it has so much HP that fighting it without a powerful run is so annoying
i was playing isaac the other day and i had mutant spider jacob's ladder twisted pair and polyphemus it was literally free
i walked into a fire and died
idk what i even did wrong here
it just did 2 things that cancelled each other out. i needed to avoid the AOE but i needed to move away from the giant laser
i can't do both
i've been playing this shit for too long dude
this has always been a problem. i have to work 10x as hard as the normal person to still be slightly worse
idk if this will be helpful but very recently i was in the same place with tekken 8 and literally the only thing that helped me feel better about my skill at the game was not comparing myself to people who i knew were way better than me. something about comparison being the thief of joy
the thief of joy is being bad
lately i just don't want to do anything because i do it poorly and it frustrates me
the stuff i'm new at sure, i can give that a pass, but stuff i've been doing for thousands of hours? its embarrassing. its easy to say "its okay to be bad" when you got like 15 other things you're good at
i also played smite every day for about 5 years and sucked at it the entire time and wanted to rip my hair out
i just. stopped playing smite
it was making me fucking crazy
i mean, that would make sense but honestly it's not like you can expect perfect linear skill growth that never fluctuates and directly correlates with overall time
this is league of legends syndrome
the only people i know who are really good at a video game literally only play that ONE game and do it from sun up to sun down
it seems miserable
im so much happier being sorta ok at ten games that i have fun playing than really good at one game that feels like a job and i make myself feel like a worthless piece of shit when i get rinsed at it
not feeling happy with my skills is what killed music playing for me, and almost killed programming too
realistically i will never hit god of destruction in tekken 8
the only time that made me upset was when i wanted to blow my head off after i lost a match because "ive been playing tekken since i was 8 why do i still fucking suck"
idk with competitive games it feels different
as you get better so do your opponents
but i guess i later got frustrated with street fighter too
the two things that annoy me the most are that its a single player game, your opponents don't get better, it's about as linear as you can get. and the other is a coop shared storytelling experience. what you do doesn't change, what you 'go up against' doesn't change
on the one hand i can see that argument
but using fighting games as an example again
ultimately as i get higher in rank its not learning to play the game better or fighting better opponents
it's literally just now who is better at not dropping a combo and who has a faster reaction time
its essentially a single player game where the objective is to remember my string input and do it right
and sometimes you just have an off day and fuck up a run
like i said i literally threw away a free delirium kill on the keeper because i walked into a fire
its bothered me for a while but usually i can just shake it off because overall i can still do decently
but this just. idk, i just can't. i've been bashing my head against this trying to beat this and its not even the final boss lmao
i think ultimately my point is you play a video game for fun and if it stops being fun snd starts feeling like you have something to prove, then yknow
what boss is it?
a dlc one?
yes
and i don't want to hear "its new"
i know what to do, i've fought it so many times already
there's no excuse
i had everything and more. i will never get a run that good again
but this is more than just that. it's kind of an overarching problem
you're obviously capable of beating the boss eventually and when you do it wont be because you had some crack run that trivialized the boss it'll be because the fight clicked for you and you got better
and i literally don't know what to do differently
and to have this many hours in and lose when i had literally everything is embarrassing dude. its all embarrassing. the only reason i even run lancer is because you have to do it with a group; i don't want them to see how bad that shit is
I hate bosses that just feel like you can't improve in games :P
i mean you obviously can, others are fine with it. beating it with a lot less than what i had
do you think that somehow you're just in a category of person that is incapable of beating that boss
it will happen
that should be motivation that their runs were worse it means you don't need to have had that run to do it
but yes i agree with al and having played ror2 that game isn't exactly pristinely designed sometimes
and it means that if i couldn't do it with that its pretty pathetic
couldn't ≠ didn't. you didn't lose bc you are doomed to lose, you just fucked something up
you're not pathetic thats the mean part of your brain that takes the path of least resistance speaking
Well, one of my players saw Jerry and immediately started desiring him
"Please make Jerry a lesbian or I am afraid I will have to change my character into a man"
||Pulling "One of us is going to have to change" don't work on somebody who already picked out their tie for the day||
||RIGHT? I WAS JUST THINKING IT||
also, ||I don't know that transing into a guy would even work? It might, but anecdotally Jerry has definitely dated one woman and allegedly dated another?||
hi calliope!
Hallo
Hallo
Hi Calliope my SRT is being entirly normal:

Welcome to calliope, now with same day shipping
it's so much worse in context
(SEX(??))
What the hell
I refuse to elaborate
I think elaboration is necessary to clear your name and meaning
I will make french braids with your nervous system leo.
Are you going to geg leos rooe or something then? 
SHUT YOUR FUCKING FACE
-# i already feel my execution approaching

Can you believe he said "I am not doing toxic yuri with you" before this
my groups are in person, so all my players' stupid thirst-posting goes unrecorded
There are not enough words in the english dictionary to express how fucked you're gonna be once i get my hands on you.

STOP BLUSHING, I'M THREATENING YOU.
ahahahaha get it guts like guts and blackpowder HAHAHAHAHAHA
unnamed prussian officer (moritz) and the american ferryman (quinn) are npcs in guts and blackpowder and are not my characters. or something. yeah
just kinda uploading whatever i have on me whenever i have it. you know how it is :3
hello chat
i just came out to the therapist (the one that doesnt give me meds, there are two) as trans
hell yeah
hell yeah
the italian language is a fuck
i hate needing to misgender myself to not accidentally out myself to people
Hell yeah!
Congrats cat
I once had to come out to my co-workers as straight. That was moderately amusing
Hilarious
Congrats Cat
i am so insanely curious to hear whats up with that
okay, so it was like a year ago. I was working with a team on a project, but we were having a socialization meeting - everybody just talking about non-work stuff.
One of my co-workers (Rod) mentioned ...something, can't remember precisely what, about the fact he lived with his ex (Ricky, my old manager) for a few years after they broke up.
I go, "oh, I live with my ex as well!"
Rod goes "Well, your partner, how does he feel about that?"
It is at this point I realize a couple of things:
- I have never used my partner's name (Hannah) or pronouns (She/her) out loud around my co-workers, just referring her as "my partner"
- I have always used they/them for my ex
- I wear really nice floral shirts all the time
...and my co-workers have all assumed, based on 1, 2, and 3, that I am gay.
"I wear really nice floral shirts" being listed as a reason is hilarious to me
look
👁️
all the straight guys I know wear boring shirts
or, at least, boring button-up shirts
lmao thats hilarious, the floral shirts especially
i used to wear floral shirts a bunch before coming out as trans
I wear black shirts all the time now, am I straight, doctor?
Assigned Straight At Clothes Shop

nah, I kid

anyway, the final bit of the funny story is my then-manager coming in to the meeting
Manager: "Hey folks, sorry I'm late, what did I miss?"
Coworker: "Well apparently JamJar is straight"
Manager: ".......how did that come up as a conversation topic???"
on a related note, the most chaotic but technically accurate description of my living circumstances:
I live with my partner, my ex, and my partner's sister's boyfriend
wow that sounds... terrifying
partner and ex in the same house is scary to think about
Ex broke up with me because they worked out they're a nonbianary lesbian and much as I'm nice, I'm not quite nice enough to make up for being a guy :p
ohhhh thats kind of chill then
Ex and my partner became friends before I started dating my partner
i was thinking it was more messy than that
Nah no football here
yeah, that's why I was it was "chaotic but technically accurate" :p
dads also wear floral shirts
mine have long sleeves
so if you see an older guy you never know if he's gay, a dad, or a gay dad
-# dads are gay, noted
okay now nobody wears that
that's just a crime against fashion
Jam does, evidently
Oh I'm sorry I thought the word of order was "Be gay, do crimes"
SUDDENLY crimes aren't permitted anymore
yeah okay egg
crack a few omelettes then tell me how crime works
yeah no thats bangin
I couldn't be bothered to remove enough warming layers to photograph the whole shirt
I can't exactly make an omelette I am at work with no skillet
oh okay yeah i see the gay thing now
i was thinking floral like hawaiian
I have some like that too
My eyes are drawn to the yellow spot on your hand under the index, is that paint? ink?
i also had a silly thing going on with my girlfriend and her ex
light refraction?
cuz her ex is also her best friend
i have a few hawaiian shirts and i think they're nice but they feel very masculine tbh
and they had only broken up for like six months before I came in
but she's cool. i helped her find out she was aromantic
I just wear the most comfortable clothes I can find, and they are systematically upsized tshirts
lord i'd kill for an oversized tee
but i'm so tall all the oversized tees are just mens XL or whatever
fucked up
we live in a society
oversized t shirts feel boymoder coded
oh... uh, I apparently didn't notice I have mustard pickle on my hand from the sandwich I just ate. Whoops
dammit you beat me too it
I am too fast for you
idk, stealing your partners shirts is p common
If I was a skeleton I would be the world's fastest skeleton
i've basically given all my "man" shirts to my friends
atp i think one of my friends has worn my shirts more than she has her boyfriend's
don't worry I'm not homewrecking this one
i mean yeah, its cute in that case
im going to steal them
also like oversized tees can be cute yk
Over my dead body
depends on how you wear them
my shirt selection is basically predicated on the question "Is this likely to be complimented by a Younger Person Of Indeterminate Gender At A Gig For A Musical Comedian?"
If yes, buy shirt.
thats the idea, yes
oversized hoodies with thigh highs is a killer
From something called hyperbole
how tall are you then
185cm
hey, all my closest friends are 4'11"
they would be massive on me
maybe a bit shorter, i haven't checked in a while
im just under 170
mf how is that hand pinch emoji
depends where but its around that i think
i think for women specifically its a bit shorter
-# same, im 169cm tall
hell yeah!!!
Nice
global average is 5.9 for men apparently
I am Entirely Average
technically 170 isnt particularly short but i certainly feel short in public
idk why but most people im around are really tall
Yeah I only feel tall next to my immediate family
i wish that was me, everytime im outside i feel like a giant 
as someone who moves around a lot for work and classes its always so funny seeing how different my height is in different places
in europe it feels like the tall dudes are all 5'10"+
i remember being in the netherlands and it felt like EVERYONE was massive
but in the asias i just tower over everyone
even HRT only reduced my height by like
an inch
here in italy men tend to tower over me and women are either similar height or shorter
HRT makes you shorter??
it can
yeah everytime ive been in northen europe i felt tiny, but here its the contrary, i dont like feeling im standing out 
NEver touching blue pills in my life
not too significantly
something about hip structure i believe
its not a huge amount
if anything i wish it'd make my feet smaller
Inconcievable
call me bigfoot with these goddamn size 11s

Unforgivable

its hell finding womens shoes that fit me
that's why i stick to boots
and converse
same lmao, i could steal my mother's shoes and they'd fit
alas, i've fallen to bisexuality
converse are bisexual...?
huh
damn ive never worn converse... though im not sure if pan counts
I wear whatever the fuck fits honestly
i only wear these barefoot shoes things
idk the brand tbh
whatever is pretty on amazon
yeah okay man
that used to be me
Right now it's a pair of geox. Up until they disintegrate anyway. Then we'll see
that was me for a while yeah
what
now i'm just perpetually late
I mean
looking good is not for the impatient
I'm always late to work by like, 5 to 10 minutes
ah that's a skill issue then
-# Damn just call me ugly straight up...
pfft
yeah but thats because you're lazy
trueg...
like as a man i put on some random shirt and pants and maybe some perfume
Also I have to pet my cat for 10 minutes every time it's important for my mental health
this is why i have caffeine
Brain implosion energy
10,000 grammes of pure caffeine
now i have to make sure i match my lipstick with my nails and my bag with my headscarvese and that my shoes don't take away from my dress
cause you cant overthink if your heart stops!
and that my foundation won't melt too easily
and also that the jacket will compliment the fit
you arrive late to work bc you are doing a beauty routine
i arrive late bc i have adhd and i dilly dally until i have to run for my life
we are not the same
insert image of guy in tuxedo
consider. i have adhd, and do a beauty routine
i arrive late because the FUCKING TRAINS IN THIS COUNTRY
I get around the outfit problem by always wearing the same damn thing
man moment
Cargo pants, black shirt, hoodie
you really don't realise how good you have it as a guy until you stop being one lmao
-#
man ive never done a beauty routine
i think you'd be a very good girl actually
my bad i forgot
I mean you can evidently
that was an oopsie i swear
ive never needed a beauty routine because im already too fucking beautiful
reallllll
you don't have to_!_
i've got two hands
i do it cause i like it. i think anything you do to make yourself feel good can be a beauty routine
aww, meanwhile i just think i dont deserve it (?) big sweater girlfailure for life 
putting on my rings and necklace is a beauty routine 
big sweater is cute too!
oh i'm sure you deserve the world darling. It's not easy being yourself in the world we live in, but don't let that ever tell you that it's not worth it. you gotta do what makes you happy, and even if you can't, you still well deserve to_!_
don't bark if ya can't handle the bite is all i'm saying
I kind of want to get earrings at some point cause but that's assuming I didn't entirely make up the concept of magnetic earrings in my head and they actually exist
i know someone put a magnet in their body
Because I know if I get actual earrings and get my ear pierced I am going to tear my ear lobes within a week
but magnetic studs exist i do believe
though i prefer a different adjective for them
léo how do you know what a stud is
I've played Lego games before 
I have a very very vague sense of what stud is that I couldn't put into words if I tried
Obtained from, like many things in my head, internet osmosis
Hi sorry I missed this
technically they are, but since they are now permanent residents I feel like Jerry likely just gave them the place right next to Morgana's
i think so
so when it comes to people stud is usually used to refer to a straight man who is very attractive and has a lot of sexual partners
it's like the male version of slut, but used as something complimentary and admirable
That's what I had in mind
because patriarchy
but stud also has a unique application in Black/African-American sapphic spaces
That I had no idea about
where it refers to black/afro-american masc dykes/sapphics
I am learning things everyday
The fucked up and/or funny thing is that if you had not explained what that word means the other day I would have 100% thought it was another word for stud
i should note, léo, that it would probably be best if uhhhh you didn't use that word lmao
dyke, i mean
I'll wait until I grab the blue pills before i dare use it, or something
Apologies for any and all offense
this is me btw if you even care
CURSE THE COMMON COLD
You had to come out as straight 
it is one of my favourite stories from that job
Wish granted, you now have : Rare Cold
can i have a legendary cold
You get Common Hot
😳
the other one being:
I was helping with the roll-out of a new computer system. Our users had to search for contact files periodically, and we would sometimes get a completely show-stopping error which, when searching for a contact, would show "404 Error: File Not Found"
...except for two weeks we couldn't find a single instance of this error in our logs. We were seeing the error, but it wasn't being logged.
Turns out what was actually happening was the search was successfully finding the contact, and then erroring for a completely different reason, and then going to find an error message to display.... and there was no error message, so it would show "404 file not found"
that was very annoying at the time, but was very funny in hindsight
I miss that job
in for IGF related news, I had today off, so I finished setting up chapter 4 and 5 of act 1 in Owlbear rodeo
My group is only playing next week and I already have all three possible encounters set up so i'm gucci
Leviathans in TWO DAYS though
Maybe we will finally get through act 2 mission 1 this time
you are braver than I to venture into act 2, good job
My players are at act 1 mission 3, I as a player though am currently in act 2 mission 1
Ooh, I see
(act2) ||or, well, at least we are on our first mission in act 2, but the structure is a bit special so||
The group I'm gming for hasn't picked up a name, though the NPCs call them "heroes of the day" sometimes
nice
we have The C-Team
and
Crisis Response Active Battle Squad
C-Team have been bullying an NPC somewhat
oh dear god
Goblin and Vlad tag-team will do that to a guy
my team has decided to call themselves the Vent Crabs
named after the pet vent crab squire, Sancho
ah, the rarely heard mating calling of the vent crab
and believes, with zero irony, that NHPs are ghosts
now imagine dozens of those overlapping, in the distance, heard through the vents
he doesnt mind Siren or Shelly or anyone, but he still thinks they're ghosts
as somebody who has read all the unpublished unfinished field guides, this is very funny
do elaborate
well, there IS ghosts in boxes in Lancer (if you believe the Aunic Ascendancy anyway)
but NHPs aren't them
oh yeah out of character we all know that, it's just an in character bit
and the entire group absolutely believes that (CH1) ||the Tachyon was haunted||
which is really funny because they were too scared shitless to actually go check on ||Feather's Casket||
i was like ||"Yeah there's a massive heat signature coming from that room, and the door looks to be melted open" and they unanimously agreed to nope out of there||
Listen out of all the places in Calliope, the (ch1) ||Tachyon|| is absolutely n°2 on the list of "Most certainly haunted places in the system"
The stuff that happens in it could 100% be attributed to "it's haunted as fuck"
Client negotiation!!!!!!! 🔥
I love the names on the People of Calliope spreadsheet
thank you for adding them ❤️
What is this, cricket*?*
Yeah the names I put for chapter 3 are some of my faves
I liked your names for chapter 3 as well, I added some more in the same theme
I went on a soundboard website and searched "mexican" and this was within the 4 first results
Looking through the spreadsheet and seeing yours
Seeing an enemy callsign can opener and getting thrown off because I have a player where that's their callsign
lol
I should add some in there maybe
My favorite I think was the berserker on the (ch1) ||signal fight||
What were they called?
oh that is SPECTACULAR
I am totally using that if I ever run IGF for another group
that guy's callsign in my timelines was TEETH
How the fuck did i manage to translate these
||engi-here
stickybomb
beggars
do not fucking change my name again
signal
slammer||
I never had a TEETH but I did have these guys
Named after their favorite body part to ruin
COCK
except the obvious "No please, I insist" and "Somniomancer"
...I need to check something
6 people with the callsigns, ass, ass, tits, ass, COCK, ass, shoulder blades
Trio of one Support and two Demolishers
Left tit, Right tit and My fucking Spine
inhale
exhale
damn, more pixels please 
there
I think I could be significantly more annoying with this
6 emojis
"Replicate the facial expression of the mech you wish to target"
you can only target by using facial recognition on a kinect
🫥
Oooh
there are starsign emoji
time to activate all the homestucks in my groups (there's one)
I was gonna say
Make sure they're color coded properly if you really want to give them an aneurism
this is what owlbear rodeo gives me to use:
also the flag selection is amusing to me
White
Black
Red
Trans
Queer
Pirate
TWO JAPANS
Ska Nation
Random adjectives are funny tho
And low effort
🏳️⚧️ what is this country and why are all the cute girls from there
I always give my ennemies callsigns
this is true, i am lazy
I like the callsigns as a way to differentiate factions
the issue is if you give all your ennemies callsigns, dropping it emergency reinforcements becomes harder
As someone who normally makes lots of callsigns. Having "displeased engineer turret" is a nice change of pace and funny
I don't think too much about callsigns i just give thematically appropriate for the sitrep
that's a good way ;)
I tend to do thematically appropriate for the faction
I still love whoever thought it was a good idea to give guys in ch1 ||denial of service CoD appropiate callsigns||
Who?
don't remember honestly- but I was like "Fuck that works"
and so xXx_ 3V3rest_D3XXXTR0Y3R_xXx was born!
in respnse ||Our party was much the same until one of our members decided to look into the "Fuck ass room" which inspired the meme|| which I dont remmeber if @noble ivy or @tight pier made it
Clearly GMs should not drop enemy reinforcements
I cannot drop emergency reinforcements - I prepare statblocks to hand the players when they scan
Speaking of funny names
my favorite callsign so far is (ch3) ||calling all the ID squads ID-0002 "Cannon Fodder", implying that the second invention ID ever made was disposable men||
My GM asked me to name bartender motherfucker’s special margarita throwing arm
So obviously I came up with the margaritoss
You should share some of this mercy with our GM
The fuck ass chamber? 😳
He buffed (ch2) ||ANTICAPITAL||
Sigh
Haram
Is this what happens in the fuck ass chamber?
Anyway no that’s not what happens in the chamber
||you become a parent apparently smh||
sex is not funny; sex is competitive and ranked. I need yall to lock the fuck in
There is no igf leaderboard for smex you fools!!!
"There should be", you might think
there is; you just havent made the cut
One of you is lying
I never lie
my players seem to be aiming for competitive polyculing
(kind of spoilers ish for chapter 1-4? there's some NPC names)
what's the difference between purple, dotted purple and dashed red?
oh, right, sorry
Yeah
I must know
purple: dating
dashed purple: might end up dating, depending on PC actions over the next chapter or so
red: exes
damn okay
Hullo all, how ya doin?
wait who was ||Galanades||
Igf is a romcom
MEOW
igf is actually a romcom yea
I’m so concerned with the absolute levels of romcom igf has sometimes XD
there's some world-ending threats but that's just filler while we get our groovy on
That little bastard trying to get my attention when the food bowl is empty
I eated all the soap :(
(They were fed 15 minutes ago)
Lmao
||based on infor I've been given, and what's in the book, she's a mech fighter who was datign Howl and then left her for Howl's NHP and then breaks up with the NHP and she (the NHP) becomes a co-pilot for a PC||
Clean your vile innards
Léinnards
oooooooooooh, i missed the ||second break-up. I knew about Calamity and Harmony, but didn't remember there was a second Ex||
snrk
Some deep lore on this polycule shit
The greater Calliope polycule is just as toxic as Seattle's i see
sir a second breakup has hit the mech pilot
hides clown makeup
So far Serenity's exes are unnamed (and will probably stay that way) but its really funny to imagine that its just some NPC thats important to either the plot or someone else
I think ||calamity and harmony only get together in the Calamity-as-NPC timelines if Harmony doesn't get picked as a PC co-pilot||
Why the fuck do y’all have a flushed clown emoji
inb4 ||It's fucking Harmony||
I was thinking the same thing
we're freaks ok?
if it helps I'm playing in a bloodborne inspired religious/eldritch horror 5e campaign and the party (and GM) consensus is that that game is at least 50% pure dating sim so I think it's just as much about the players/gm as it is about the content of the campaign itself.
In name only more like
which is to say: IGF isn't a romcom, the real romcom was the friends we made along the way
Is this something i can look at
it's a name you don't know, sure
Ok then kiss me
okay
you're the second person who I've called their bluff in that way
Is there room for one more
No more room for a wallflower
||im not actually bothered it’s just very funny to me considering most of my dnd has had my characters not in any relationship beyond Frank who had a pet gator||
But don’t tell anyone that
Oh honey, i’m anything but
Sure it'd be funny
I’m game
Hey Al I’m Paul
Hey Paul, I'm Al
Howdy Al
so the characters Osha and Max are PCs. Their players are married.
"Hey, we saw your NPC from across the table and we like their vibe"
-# (not even remotely how that's working in game, but it's still funny)
I’m Dave
Heyo Dave
(I’m going to explode)
Its hip to be square?
I might be Al
Woah, no way
Im afraid i can't do that, Dave
I might need y'all to shut the hell up
AAAAAAA
