I’m glad!

[median brook]

Mom instincts kicking in

[scenic stratus]

Haha, nah, I’ve been like this for a while now. Like you were saying earlier, time teaches you lessons. Some of my biggest ones have been- you never know the last time you’ll talk to someone, and that people are too casual about overworking and not getting the physical care (including sleep) that they need. I’m gonna have a hard time not being overbearing about my kiddos as they get older. Gonna have to let them get their bonks and scrapes while they’re just small wounds, so they don’t get bigger ones later in life.

[median brook]

You'll be fine, my mother barely let me walk on my own until I was like 6, moma' hen for real

[scenic stratus]

Well you seem to have turned out fine, haha!

[median brook]

Well that's relative but I'd say yeah xD

[scenic stratus]

Hahaha!

[median brook]

My mother was just really scared I'd fall, which, you know, children do

[scenic stratus]

Gosh, I am so ready for Kit to be running around! Playing! A lot more durable! I’m so ready to toss them onto beds and trampolines and into the ocean. Like, my FAVORITE thing as a kid was running and my dad picking me up and YEETING me (safely). Like. Wow. It’s gonna be so fun!!

(This after all my talk of worrying about their safely, hahahaha)

[scenic stratus]

Facts. But it’s important to take small falls. Just gotta make sure is safe enough. No cracking open skulls. Bad Bad. Scraped knees are just a part of life. Elbows are pretty bad though..

[median brook]

I mean I split my jaw from a fall but I recovered from that too ^^ as long as it doesn't kill you, you're fiiiiiiineee

[scenic stratus]

Scary!! But true. I split my lip open chasing a dog around when I was little, I have a bit of a scar from it still.

[median brook]

My mother is a world class worrior though

[scenic stratus]

Yeah?

[median brook]

the kind that will get physically sick if someone she cares about isn't well

Idk how they managed to get me as a child

[scenic stratus]

Damn, yeah. It takes a lot of strength to be that caring.

Dumb luck I’m sure~

[median brook]

Some cosmic scale thought hang on this family is too caring.. have a care free child xD

[scenic stratus]

Haha yes! But you were raised in such a way that it was safe for you to be wild! It’s good that you were able to have a childhood, you know?

[median brook]

I'll be honest I was a rather boring child xD stayed indoors, painted tin figurines, play video games, I'm more wild now that I'm an adult, careful I got my own money now, I'm going ALL IN!

[scenic stratus]

YOLO! Haha! I’m just so comfy playing games and doing crafts at home though~

[median brook]

Don't get me wrong I rarely ever leave my room, but when I do.. 👀

[wise flame]

our mom was also super overprotective when we were little (actually she still is XD), but every time we eould go to our grandmas house and she wouldn't be around we would go wild and we've only been telling her about all the stuff we did now, after so many years have already passed :P

[scenic stratus]

Well now it’s safe to tell! (Probably)

[median brook]

I did the same to my mother xD Told her something that happened on a trip, her: You what now?

[wise flame]

exactly, but believe me, she wasn't imporessed when we told her that we played with giant hammers and saws all on our own when we were 9 XD

[scenic stratus]

Noooooooooooooo
Man, I legit got lost in the woods, dug up bones, and jumped off of stupidly high places- not all on the same day- when I was a kid. I don’t think kids will ever change, Kit is gonna to the same reckless crap, haha!

[wise flame]

exactly XD

[scenic stratus]

I’ve still never broken a bone, I’m certain I’m somewhat invincible. Especially now that I don’t go out much, haha!

[wise flame]

man, even grandmy would scream at us when we started to climb tress and then jumping down ;-;

[wise flame]

same :D

[median brook]

I broke my wrist in a bicycle collision with a car, the car won

[wise flame]

though now we're being way more careful, since as musicians it's not the best idea to get anything broken, especially hands >->

[scenic stratus]

The cars always win..

[median brook]

Damn cars, always gotta be the best at chicken

[scenic stratus]

Cars are so selfish, let someone else win for a change would ya?

[median brook]

Omg I know right?

[scenic stratus]

I went roller blading as a teen… cars that back up quickly win too.

[median brook]

And they wanna be the best going backwards? Pfft. divas

[scenic stratus]

Legit!!

[lusty spire]

My mom still doesn't know that I was the one who hacked the router, changed the password and limited their online time 15 years ago. They tried cutting my internet off when effing WoW launched.. nuh-uh.. not with me. I camped all night outside of the store to get my copy !!!

[median brook]

I too was a bad boy, I hid my gameboy under my pillow so I didn't sleep when it was bedtime

Sat there all spy like with my plug-in flashlight adapter

[lusty spire]

Second this! I had the ultimate gameboy advanced SP! also had a flashlight thingy for my gameboy color

[scenic stratus]

Oh man, nighttime secret gaming was the best! Till morning…

I once rigged up a personal mirror to watch a scary movie from around a corner while everyone thought I was sleeping. I’ve had nightmares ever since~

I can’t remember if it was Screamers or Species. Both are hecking terrifying.

[lusty spire]

jeepers creepers haunted me for days after

[scenic stratus]

Oh yeah, for real!! I loved something about it when I was younger though, and not just the happy jingle 🎵🎵

[median brook]

I remember watching Rec in the like, community center

After school, place, thingy

[scenic stratus]

Oh heck, that’s looks creepy. Why were they playing it there???

[median brook]

Spook night, horror movie marathon

[scenic stratus]

Oh that makes sense, haha!
I wanted tagged along with like, my only friend, to some church thing of hers. Church kids were crazy to me, they were into stuff I was like… isn’t that ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING??? Haha!

[median brook]

I've set foot in a church twice, both times I was sure it would burn down as soon as I entered

Or that I would burst into flames

[scenic stratus]

I have absolutely felt that way before. But more like, I’m not welcome here/if I ask questions they’ll hate me/what if I’m actually a bad person and god is real and he’s gonna actually punish me oh gods I don’t wanna be here/death. That sort of thing, haha!

[wise flame]

not about churches, but still on the spooky topic. Around 7th or 8th grade of elementary there was this Bloody Mary craze going on. Especially before PE when we were in the changing rooms everyone was avoiding the mirrors like the plague. However one day someone (I swear it was not us) shut off the lights and all the girls started screaming. Meanwhile me and my sis just stood up, went to the mirror, started to turn around and chant "bloody mary bloody mary...". Man, the screams were divine XD even the boys came to look what was going on and even they went off running. Well, as expected nothing happened, nothing came out of the mirror -_- but it was still nice, since we didn't get along with our classmates :P

[median brook]

Oh lord the Bloody Mary craze xD

[scenic stratus]

I wonder why!? Haha!!
Oh man, I remember when I first learned about urban legends like that, I was terrified!! I’ve always felt like I didn’t know what to believe growing up so I did NOT mess with that stuff, haha!

[median brook]

And the damn chain emails "FORWARD THIS TO 5 PEOPLE OR BLAH BLAH"

[wise flame]

yupyup XD

[scenic stratus]

Isn’t that stuff STILL going on? At least on Facebook or something? (I don’t really know, I don’t use it, not in a trendy way, just in a I don’t like it way)

[median brook]

I've never worried about much, whenever Jules tells me to be careful I assure her, I am perfectly safe, I am the danger

[lusty spire]

I played dead after saying bloody mary .. was in 4th grade

[wise flame]

ooo, that would be even better XD

[median brook]

[slate cave]

i always used to get scared of those

[lusty spire]

one of my friends climbed through the ceiling and hid there (you know.. these styrofoam tile ceilings), so people thought he "got pulled into the mirror"

[median brook]

I like this too, well played

[wise flame]

aw ;-; I usually just ignore them

[median brook]

My reaction was one of these: eh shrugs and trash

[lusty spire]

I miss my school days. You could just bring your nerf gun without having an overweight police officer kneeling on your neck

[gaunt belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/catscafe-snake-happy-mood-snek-gif-16020631

[scenic stratus]

Ahhhhh bad bad.
I’m so scared about public schools nowadays. Homeschooling our kiddos wouldn’t be good for social development but damn… worry!!

[median brook]

Private 👀

[median brook]

That's Arboksolutely adorable

[scenic stratus]

That’s a possibility but Private schools have their own downfalls too. Man, I just need to find a way to get rich! Can I do that off art commissions please? Haha!!

I actually have tried to open commissions a couple times. But I guess it takes a lot more marketing than I was giving it. Unless they’re free sketches, then I’ll get 20 in a month, haha! I deleted all my art off some places though when the NFT stuff was crazy. I don’t think anythin I make is good enough for that but like.. just in case. It would’ve felt really bad if someone else made money off my work. (Especially since I don’t haha!)

[median brook]

Marketing is a big part of commission work, why I never did much of it, I'll stay off facebook, twitter, and any other social media platform for as long as I can

I get enough dumbfuckery on a day to day basis from people as it is, my room is the one place I refuse to have it

So this discord and ART are the perfect places to hang out in

[scenic stratus]

I totally get that!
I actually spent a lot of time on Twitter not too long ago, I got my feed nice and clean to where I enjoyed my time on there! But things took a turn and I started seeing nothing but bad news all day long. I’m not one to burry my face in the sand but I literally can’t take the constant devastation of the never ending stuff that goes on in this world. So I’m barely on it anymore~
You’ve got it right, put that mental health first!!

[median brook]

I was on instagram for about 2 months, then, ehm, no

[scenic stratus]

I’ve only ever seen Instagram as a sure fire way to make myself feel bad. Either by looks, lifestyle, or art skills. Nothing good can come if it for me.
I do upload almost all my stuff to deviantart though, in case something ever happens to my tablet I’ll at least always have the finished versions kept safe online.

[lusty spire]

This is why I deleted my facebook. I use twitter and instagram to follow certain people, but they all either educate or are athletes (I'm into basketball a lot)

[median brook]

I mean I was turned off from Instagram when people started talking politics on it

[scenic stratus]

That sounds like good usage!!

For sports and education I mean, haha!

[median brook]

I mean it was either that or sarcasm, and both worked so I didn't question it at all haha

[scenic stratus]

Thanks, I’m glad you trust me to be classy~

[median brook]

Of course, I have judged and deemed you worthy of title: friend

And I don't give that away to just anyone

[scenic stratus]

I’m so blessed!!

[lusty spire]

Yeah. I actually don't have any people I consider friends outside of the internet (only exception is my wifey @haughty patio ) finding a good friend has become equally hard as finding diamonds imo

[median brook]

I got the same 5 friends since highschool, like 10 years later, and I doubt I'll have more than them irl xD

[scenic stratus]

Yeah, it’s just my wify and one of her work friends as far as contact friendships go for me. Online friends are pretty much all on this server!

[median brook]

(I only talk/see my irl friends a couple times a year so, same, is what I'm trying to say)

[scenic stratus]

Got ya!

I actually went searching specifically for a new-ish MMO so I could make some friends and have people to talk to. And so I found Palia!

[lusty spire]

I'm gonna be playing New World and FFXIV until Palia gets released.

[median brook]

I'm distracting myself with 100% as many of my games as I can

[lusty spire]

yeah I should do that too.. so many good ones

[median brook]

You should add me on Steam is what you should do 👀

[scenic stratus]

I LOVE FF, and I gave the XIV demo a shot once.. I just always felt so far behind and couldn’t connect with anyone, kinda made me feel lonely. Same thing happened years ago when I tried to play Guild Wars 2.
So I decided to find a brand new 2021 mmo so I could play from the very beginning and meet people!

Can’t fall behind if the game isn’t even playable yet! Big brain ideas!

[median brook]

That's a big forehead moment

[scenic stratus]

Ye! Haha, but really, I found this community and is been so nice.

[lusty spire]

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

The FFXIV community is one of the nicest throughout all the MMOs though. Just my opinion.

[median brook]

Probably because like here, there's nothing competitive about it

So it's all just, laid back do yo thang

[lusty spire]

True

[scenic stratus]

I’m sure! I’ve heard lots of good things! But I wasn’t lying when I said I’m back on my Legend of Zelda addiction… the only thing that would pull me away right now is Palia, haha!

[lusty spire]

Enjoy Zelda then! Wasn't trying to pull you away

[scenic stratus]

Oh I know! I was just jabbering!

[lusty spire]

The nintendo switches are kind of whispering to me too everytime I pass them at the store

[scenic stratus]

Oh my gosh, not to be dramatic, but the switch literally brought life back to gaming for me! My wife and I both have switches, we were separated by work for a little bit and we’d buy the same games, call each other, and play along together. One of us would have the sound on real loud and the other would mute it and listen through the phone. Recently we just played Pokémon Sword and Shield (I had Sword) and had a serious blast!! Right now I’m playing BOTW while she plays Age of Calamity on the big screen. Life is so good!!

I really wonder what the future of the switch will be. I hope future systems will be similar with backwards compatibility. Give me all that classic N64 and GameCube goodness forever! (Digitally at least) It’s probably just wishful thinking though~

[scenic stratus]

Tonight I have given up all semblance of responsible food consumption. I’ve had coffee and a donut! And chips and dip! I have no regrets!! For now.

[lusty spire]

Livin the life

[median brook]

For.. nooooow 👀

[lusty spire]

I really miss the N64 and GameCube

[scenic stratus]

For real! So much nostalgia for the N64. I never had a game cube but my friends did, haha.
I really want all the Legend of Zelda games to be rereleased on the switch (we did get a better version of Skyward Sword and that’s GLORIOUS!!).
Also the old Harvest Moon games would be nice but I don’t thinks that’s possible cuz of licensing stuff now.

[lusty spire]

Harvest Moon

I got My Time in Portia on Steam as it's on sale today

[median brook]

One time I've managed to buy a game, only for it to come on sale the day after, get a refund and buy it again xD

[scenic stratus]

Nice! I’m pretty sure I’ve got Portia on Switch~ I played it a lot but one day I just never picked it back up again.

I was REALLY in the mood to get some drawing down but baby had other plans, haha! I am now a baby bed…

[lusty spire]

I miss being a baby bed

[scenic stratus]

How old are your kiddos? I thought I’d be a baby bed for a long long time, haha!

Toddler bed!

[lusty spire]

i have a son. he's 3

[scenic stratus]

And no more baby bed? Already??

Must savor baby bed time then, haha!

[lusty spire]

Well when I pick him up on Fridays, he falls asleep while sitting on my lap. I enjoy it a lot

Ofc not in a car. I use the train

[scenic stratus]

Oh! Lap nap time sounds like the best thing ever!! I’ve got baby breathing directly into my ear right now…. Help.

[lusty spire]

awwww

[scenic stratus]

They’re gonna be so crazy tall. Big baby. I really hope they like being tall when they grow up.

[lusty spire]

yeah.. mine will be pretty tall as well. I'm sure of that. I'm 6.3"

[scenic stratus]

Whooooo tall!! I’m 5’1. Tiny. But my wife is 7-8 inches taller than me and the donor was like 6”5. Baby is the size of a baby three months older than they are already… I really hope they like themselves!! I’ve met tall people that really don’t like it.

My kiddo is gonna overtake me in height so fast, haha!

[lusty spire]

Being tall has its pros and cons

[lusty spire]

Haha yeah maybe! You're so smol

My kid always calls stuff "papa" if they're big and "baby" if they're small. Like "papa" car or tree

[scenic stratus]

Oh dear gods that’s ADORABLE!!

[gray sluice]

@hallow kite it's just a shitpost

I can tell xD

it's ratpost actually

[gray sluice]

TRUE

[haughty patio]

i know right, makes me go awwwww every time

[austere lance]

On my part I play single player game, I'm tired of feeling that my gaming time become a second job and those are the only type of games I don't feel any pressure or competiveness

[austere lance]

😮 meanwhile my kid has barely reached 30 lbs and he's 5...

[austere lance]

My kid rename all the games we are playing together or I play on the computer by : "dad that do..."

[prisma creek]

I feel like that's gonna be my child, lol. She gets taller, but just stretches

[austere lance]

so My time at portia is the dad that build
Sims4 is the dad that do stuff
Civ6 is the dad holding the sphere
Stardew valley is the dad that farm
And it goes on...

[austere lance]

yeah little bud is an heavy premies. So his grow follow a weird curve

[haughty patio]

dad that do stuff xd

[lusty spire]

my buddy was always above the average curve.

[prisma creek]

They're just doin their lil best

[haughty patio]

they are all amazing

[median brook]

I really just think the macaroni art could've been better

I still have no idea what's going on here

[dull basalt]

My face is now made of equal parts shock and awe.

[median brook]

Just talk to me like I wasn't ever a child

[dull basalt]

Berry how do you not know the wonder and joy that is The Tick?

[median brook]

Like I just said, because I haven't been a child

I genuinely have no idea what that is xD

[dull basalt]

Well, it all began as a comic about an unlikely superhero with a distorted perception of reality....

This is a comedic story. It's meant to be joyfully ridiculous. It's spawned an animated series and two live action tv shows.

His battlecry is SPOOOOOOOOOOON

His sidekick is called Arthur.

Now you're caught up!

[wary dune]

So all that because Berry said sooooooon ? 🤣

[haughty patio]

idek :P

[median brook]

I'm like confused and not at the same time haha

[dull basalt]

This is how my brain operates Xrystal! It's a swarm of pop culture nonsense.

[haughty patio]

that was one nice show although i dont remember it that mcuh anymore

[median brook]

I love you an Offal lot, just so you know

[dull basalt]

I love you Berry muchly.

[wary dune]

It's not one I've watched either so wouldn't have got the reference until you said spoooon rofl

[dull basalt]

I have a lot of obscure data stored in my noodle.

Makes me pretty good at pub quizzes though!

[wary dune]

Yeah, I've got some useless elsewhere knowledge that have proved useful in pub quizzes

[median brook]

Well I remember most things I hear and see, so consider it now a permanent fixture in mine as well

[dull basalt]

Yay! I made a memory!

[hallow kite]

what the fuck xD

[gray sluice]

I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you

[hallow kite]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ofukoQoMiaY/sddefault.jpg

[gray sluice]

why tf is it so hard to accelerate yourself downwards faster than gravity

god my downward muscles are severely lacking

[hallow kite]

just squat bro

[gray sluice]

yeah but I bet you cant squat faster than gravity

like, every time you stand or jump you're using upward muscles to overpower gravity right

so if you managed to go downwards at more than 9.8m/s then you'd have good enoug down muscles to beat gravity both ways

but you dont

nobody does

and its wack

[desert coral]

I don't have any squatting emotes. Ridiculous.

[gray sluice]

I dont either

[hallow kite]

how... wait

how do you want to beat gravity

you can't really turn this thing off

[gray sluice]

BY USING MUSCLES TO GO FAST

ARE YOU LISTENING

[hallow kite]

OKAY BUT

IF I SQUAT

VERY VERY FAST

THERE IS STILL GRAVITY DOING ITS SHIT

[gray sluice]

GOTTA GO FASTER THAN YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU JUST LOST MUSCLE CONTROL COMPLETELY

[hallow kite]

wat

no

[gray sluice]

explain

[hallow kite]

I feel like

gravity is always pulling you down, right?

[gray sluice]

yeah

[hallow kite]

so I don't think you can ever do something faster than gravity. Because it will also affect you, even with small %

[gray sluice]

yeah that's what I have a problem with

I want to accelerate myself downwards faster than what gravity would have. Like if I can accelerate at 10m/s that would work

you can do it with propulsion

[hallow kite]

boi I have less than 0 knowledge about physics and all that but I can't really imagine it

like totally

[gray sluice]

ok gravity is alwyas on right

constantly trying to pull you down at roughly 9.8m/s at sea level

so you're constantly passively having to use muscles to stand up

if you could harness the up muscles and make them down muscles you could go SO FAST

[hallow kite]

aight but wouldn't you break like... I dunno, Newton's laws or some stuff like this?

[gray sluice]

not that I know of

[hallow kite]

I mean... you are right I get it know

you could have an object that goes 20ms/s downwards

that would make that object go faster than gravity pulls it

[gray sluice]

yeah that's accelerating faster than it naturally woulld

that

except with just muscles

[median brook]

Have we considered terminal velocity?

[hallow kite]

however I think gravity stills adds its 9.8m/s to the overall speed of that object

or not?

[gray sluice]

no becuase you'll hit your ass on the ground before you reach terminal

@median brook

[median brook]

Says who? maybe I'm as small as an atom, quantum state

[gray sluice]

ok well I mean in theory breaking terminal velocity is ideally what I'm aiming for

[median brook]

I haven't read the whole conversation, we strictly going by the laws of physics?

[hallow kite]

I think we are ignoring any laws at this point

[gray sluice]

since terminal velocity is the maximum speed at which gravity pulls you with no external forces, if you applied forces to surpass that speed you'd win

your forces being your muscles

[median brook]

Yeah just thrusters straight down, no?

[gray sluice]

no thrusters

au natural

thats the crux

[topaz shore]

Why do structural engineers have to be so annoying some times?

[gray sluice]

i want NATURAL THRUSTERS

[median brook]

What if you just spin so fast you completely bypass air resistance?

[gray sluice]

that's not how air works. Even something spinning at near light speed will have some amount of air resistance in atmosphere

[topaz shore]

But spinning can be used to create lift to overcome the force of air resistance.

[gray sluice]

but not bypass it

[median brook]

What if we just.. remove the air

[topaz shore]

We call that space

[median brook]

With.. telekinesis

[gray sluice]

I dont think removing air would do anything? Gravity would pull you faster but you'd accelerate faster too

[median brook]

Also true

I mean I can't help I only know physical laws

[topaz shore]

It would be easier to apply the force from telekinesis to the object being hindered by the air resistance to overcome the force than remove the air.

[gray sluice]

basically

I want super powered knees to swing my ass towards the earth with a force that has never before been seen

[topaz shore]

Well, you could get one of the cannons that shoot people, get in and point it down...

I would not recommend it though...

[hallow kite]

wait... nish...

you want to...

ffs I should've figure out sooner

yeah I'm into SCI-FI mood after watching Ready Player One XD

[median brook]

cloverfield was such a trippy good movie, Altered Carbon is a good show, although I liked season 1 over 2

[analog saddle]

please watch things older than 10 years too, a lot of fantastic sci fi out there

like Ice Pirates!

[median brook]

I am Mother, is also a good one, not a virtual reality of a sci fi alternate one

[hallow kite]

yeah watched it it was nice

[median brook]

Ah, Spy Kids 3

How could I forget

[analog saddle]

I'm the oldest one here, I'm in a library with broken glasses

The Toxic Crusader
Ice Pirates
Phantom of the Paradise
Velociopastor
Krull
Flight of the Navigator
The Last Starfighter
The Collossos Man
This Island Earth

[median brook]

Oh, my god, velocipastor

[meager hinge]

you did not just mention Velocipastor? xD

[analog saddle]

yes it is a fantastic movie!

[median brook]

that movie was probably the worst best worst thing I've ever not seen the whole thing of, and that's a statement xD

It was like they ran out of budget before they even wrote the first dialog haha

[analog saddle]

They Live is what I meant, not Them which is about giant mutant ants. They Live is about this guy who finds these shades that reveal all the subliminal advertising around and also that the world is being run by evil skeleton people. This is close to Ryan Reynolds movie where he finds shades that reveal he's living in a video game.

They Live is really just mocking people who wear sunglasses indoors hehe

Night of the Lepus is an absolute classic, it's about giant mutated rabbits, it's hilarious all these bunnies hopping through model sets and eating people

[marsh cypress]

Anyone want a nostalgia trip?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlTMIRRpjMc&ab_channel=mindfulwizard

this show was my childhood lol. made me tear up a bit

[thorny trail]

Awww same. That was so sweet, I miss him haha.

[weak harness]

I saw the video yesterday and had to hold back tears. I remember turning blues clues on for my little brothers. We saw every Steve episode. Then I grew up and watched the Steve episodes with my kids and they loved it so much too. Blues clues and Steve were always there. 💙 I was choked up when he said "I never forgot you... ever"

[marsh cypress]

yeah me too. really hits hard

[weak harness]

Choo choo... feels train haha

[quartz zephyr]

ok ok thanks

This has so little actual animation (VFX not included) but it does so much i'm so impressed
(there are english closed captions, the title is "Swaying from Season to Season")

[sudden cairn]

Atmosphere: Survivable

Landing: Yeah I landed in the channel alright

[hallow kite]

oi oi oi what's all this then?

[sudden cairn]

I think Berry got lost on the way here

[median brook]

https://tenor.com/view/to-clear-out-the-way-explorer-on-a-quest-cut-the-grass-after-a-long-time-nat-geo-gif-19053333

Made it

[sudden cairn]

Oh heck yeah

[median brook]

That was wild going from Palia chat to community art, I got lost around suggestions and feedback but the memes guided me through, introductions was wild, took a while to say hi to everyone, you know how family meetings are.. relatives.. pfft

[sudden cairn]

Ya coulda just taken a rocket straight to here, but I guess using maps and a machette works

[median brook]

Hey I'm a simple guy

[sudden cairn]

And I'm the kind who sometimes likes complicated overly dumb things to a simple problem!

So how about those off-topic topics?

[median brook]

They're not off topic here hence we can't talk about them, paradox

[sudden cairn]

Oh yea

Did ya hear? The Curiosity Rover's Launch is gonna have it's 10th anniversary over in November 26th.

[median brook]

Oh hecc yee

[sudden cairn]

If only Mars wasn't so far. It'd be pretty fun to see em' send a robot-cake to the thing

[median brook]

Eh, it's not far away if you travel at light speed

We just gotta stop being so simple and figure it out

[sudden cairn]

No, that's dumb. C'mon, we gotta invest our money in making doomsday devices instead!

[median brook]

Ah, yes, it's much more human to make devices to eradicate ourselves rather than expand, extreme darwinism

[gray sluice]

how many punches do you think you could give yourself before you died

[sudden cairn]

Depends where and how hard

[wise flame]

depends how strong they are

[median brook]

at least 1

[sudden cairn]

Yea, 1 hit in the head from yourself is usually enough to get ya

[gray sluice]

wack

[thorny trail]

I know how Kazuma feels when his party members talk now

[wise flame]

and how's that?

[gray sluice]

I could take at least 1500-1700 full strength punches from myself directly to my forehead. I have been compared to a solid steel block, or a relatively strong mountain goat, or a pretty big tree

[thorny trail]

There you go

[median brook]

I hit myself upside the head sometimes, singing eeeyyoooo, why'd that hurt bro

[sudden cairn]

Ya scare me, Berry

[median brook]

I tend to have that effect on people

[wise flame]

nah, I'm not gonna write anything o-o

[median brook]

Why's that fellow kin friend?

[gray sluice]

he's just mad that I'm more tougherer

[wise flame]

XD

nah, it's just that when me and my sis were 3 or something, I accidently pushed her in a stone wall corner and she kinda split her head a bit, luckily it didn't break her skull

I bet I could have phrased that better, but oh well -_-

so that's some strong head in my opinion :D

[sudden cairn]

I should actually probably get back to whatever it is I do when I'm not chatting here.

[wise flame]

that's a great idea

[sudden cairn]

Alright, time to ascend!

[median brook]

Right in my face about it huh

Just because I can’t go home

[median brook]

That was a wild read

[wise flame]

yeah, kinda regretting it now

[median brook]

Nah, thanks for sharing

[wise flame]

anytime XD

[median brook]

I dropped my friend of a ledge if that helps, broke his tailbone

[wise flame]

o-o

[sudden cairn]

You scare me even more, now

[median brook]

Yeah not on purpose yah dummy xD he tripped, I caught him, dropped him, and he fell maybe.. 8ft, so not even far

[thorny trail]

One time in elementary my friend thought it was funny to slap guys, so she slapped me hard, then I slapped her back for it, if that helps too

[wise flame]

8ft, pffft, not tall at all

[wise flame]

equality

[median brook]

I mean, not like it was off a cliff 100ft drop

[wise flame]

XD no joke

[thorny trail]

I yearn for true gender equality. I have no patience for one who talks about female privilege when it suits them, and then complains about someone "not being a man" when it's convenient.

[median brook]

He fell approximately a person and a half to one person

[gray sluice]

one time I threw my friend into an active volcano as a blood offering except it wasn't my friend it was a goat and it wasn't a volcano it was just onto the ground and it wasn't a goat it was a basketball

[wise flame]

so true, you have my full support

[median brook]

Yeah I call that equality

[wise flame]

ye, but still ;-;

man, I miss the time in elementary school, when we could fight and get away with just some scolding

[median brook]

Ah the good ol days where hitting just about anyone was practically okay xD

[gaunt belfry]

[gray sluice]

“Face the camera for effect”

[wise flame]

awee XD

[thorny trail]

I wonder how many people were watching that live and spit out their drinks at the absurdity of it

[median brook]

I hope at least five

I would’ve probably choked

[wise flame]

who wouldn't

[median brook]

People who don’t think it’s funny, I think

But I’m not sure, it’s only a guess

[wise flame]

such a scene should bring out at least some kind of reaction

if you watch this with a straight face and no surprise at least, that's creepy o-o

[median brook]

I mean even id find that creepy so I agree

[thorny trail]

You don't live long enough to see everything in life, so may as well laugh at what's funny, cry over what's sad and be happy over what's happy. No use in fighting something that doesn't need to be fought, or complaining about something that doesn't even need to be an issue.

So I would have laughed my ass off

[median brook]

If only more people believed this

[thorny trail]

If only. That's why I just do what I want haha.

[median brook]

Same xD I am responsible for me and that’s it!

[wise flame]

Carpe diem, yolo and all that stuff

[median brook]

’e diem (if grumpy was a carp)

[gray sluice]

not living long enough just means that you admit that you're too weak to overcome death

just dont die, idiots

[median brook]

I mean I just reincarnate, this is lifetime 7451

[thorny trail]

Death is inevitable haha. That's why we need to live the most of what we have and enjoy what's in our lives before we either outlive it or they out live us

[gray sluice]

the only thing inevitable is DN

[thorny trail]

Also pokemon mystery dungeons was an isekai. No one just wants to talk about it

[median brook]

Idk about you guys but I’m playing monopoly, as long as I have the most money at the end I won

[wise flame]

you can do it, go win this monopoly

[gray sluice]

crazy how you're playing monopoly but I own boardwalk

[median brook]

Life is just monopoly change my mind xD

[wise flame]

sucks for me then, since I'm really bad at monopoly

[median brook]

Gotta practice those manipulation skills

[wise flame]

how, I barely interact with people irl XD

[median brook]

The following statement has been redacted

Just finished watching Infinity Train season 3

1. it made me cry
2. i kinda get pissed off at cartoons always trying to redeem assholes
3. ||im so glad simon is dead but that was way more graphic than i was expecting lmao||

[median brook]

I mean everyone deserves a chance at redemption, everyone has done dumb shit, but I agree, shows and movies overdo it waaaay to much

[slate cave]

well i mean

[median brook]

I try to avoid as many shows and movies as possible that has to much emotional reflection, like drama or romance shows, they're always too much xD

[slate cave]

when they murder a bunch of innocent people while saying that they don't count as real people

i try to think they don't deserve redemption

[median brook]

Hey maybe he has a mental disorder, not his fault

[slate cave]

genuinely dont know how to even respond to that

[marsh cypress]

diary day 1
just shidded
end of entry

[topaz shore]

What is that word?

[marsh cypress]

what

[topaz shore]

"Shidded" what does it mean?

[marsh cypress]

gee i wonder

[topaz shore]

Something I have learned when dealing with other people is that what is obvious to you, might not be obvious to all.

[marsh cypress]

[median brook]

People are indeed different, but I can only assume it is to be replaced by "t"'s

[marsh cypress]

explaining jokes ruins the point, hotshot

[median brook]

And if I'm right, lucky 10000s to me

[median brook]

And the joke isn't funny at all if noone gets it xD

[topaz shore]

Wouldn't it just be easier to say "pooped"

[marsh cypress]

see, "shidded" has a different effect

it's like the difference between "mom" and "mum"

[median brook]

I feel like Mordo in the end credit scene saying "to many sorcerers" but to me it's "to many terms/words" xD

[topaz shore]

There you sit all broken hearted, came to shid but only farted.

[marsh cypress]

facts

[inner ice]

"Explaining the joke ruins it" is a viewpoint that only works if you accept that you can exclude people who won't understand it from having fun with you. I've seen plenty of people have fun and still laugh once the joke is explained to them.

As someone who frequently misses jokes, I always appreciate someone taking a moment to try and include me.

[median brook]

I was thinking the same ^^ especially since the cultural interpretation of what humor is both from different parts of the world as well as age, among other things

[marsh cypress]

its always funnier if you get it right away though :/

way to ruin it, folks.

[median brook]

Noone got it right away though xD

[inner ice]

That's honestly just an attitude that excludes people from enjoying your jokes.

It's not ruined if someone didn't get it.

[median brook]

Maybe I'm just boring

What even is humor?

[topaz shore]

As someone who has problems picking up on social cues, and who's brain can be overly literal at times, I often miss jokes when people say them.

[inner ice]

I have no idea where that concept originally came from but it really bothers me that people would say "don't tell her/nobody tell them" etc

because apparently the joke's only funny if someone doesn't get it?

then you can just laugh at them.

[median brook]

I mean some jokes are funny because some don't get it, that I can get behind xD

[marsh cypress]

nobody said that

but ok

[inner ice]

but that's the attitude you're showing, where we're in the wrong for including someone else.

[marsh cypress]

again never said that

[inner ice]

Explain how this doesn't paint us as wrong for "ruining" your joke.

[median brook]

I'm confident that was sarcasm

[topaz shore]

Sarcasm is hard for me to pick up over text...

[inner ice]

Why though
That's so mean

[median brook]

I'm the one that explained it and I didn't take offense to it, I doubt it was meant that way

But, I could very much be wrong since I'm not the one that said it xD

[inner ice]

I don't understand people...

[marsh cypress]

i just feel that explaining it ruins the humor and the effect is lost

[wise flame]

and lets not bicker because of jokes, they're meant to bring happiness. We all see them in our own way and enjoy them at our own pace :)

[marsh cypress]

imagine if a comedian had to explain all of their jokes. at that point why are you staying to listen to them if you dont get their humor?

thats all im saying

[inner ice]

This isn't a stage though? This is a chatroom.

[median brook]

That's fair, but if someone doesn't get it, it's not funny at all, it might be slightly funny when explained, even if less funny. And some laughter is better than non ^^

[marsh cypress]

it wae an example

[topaz shore]

My presence seems to be an issue, I'm going back to work...

[marsh cypress]

nah youre good odd-ball

[median brook]

Both statements and attitudes are fine on their own, they just clashed, situation gone wrong, moving on (my pov)

[marsh cypress]

mhm. not tryna argue here, just rationalizing my point

[slate cave]

it kind of annoys me that every time i see gay rep in a cartoon or something it's always wlw

like its great yall are getting representation but also

god i want there to be a main character who's in a relationship with another guy and have them Not Be Villains or something
whenever theres gay men theyre always background characters (hello the owl house)

[fickle lava]

Maybe, and I've kinda noticed a trend, people are more comfortable with the idea of women bc it's ... "Cute"?
I think the idea of femininity is more accepted. And women can be close without being gay, so maybe when they decide to go that far with a show it's just easier to "accept"?

[slate cave]

im out here getting breadcrumbs

[fickle lava]

I'm not saying that's what it is, it's only what I've seen

[slate cave]

i mean ive seen the same thing

[fickle lava]

I know I was super close to my girl friend and everyone thought we were a couple. So even if it's never officially stated in some shows, people love subtext

I think anime is ahead of the USA with gay rep

Oh yeah! I heard the creators of Yuri on ice are doing a new anime

[slate cave]

most of the mlm relationships in eastern media is usually in series solely focused on those

BL (boys love) is a whole genre

...usually written by women. for women.

so i can pick either Not Existing or Being A Fetish

ALSO i swear like 70% of the BL i've tried to read has been some abusive as hell relationship!

and it tries to be passed off as romantic
so that sucks too

[fickle lava]

Hey tbf I like blb but not for fetish reasons lol.
I love a good story!
And yes, so much of any gay rep in cartoons/anime seem either abusive or fetish so I tend to not watch those.
I don't like wlw things like that either.

It's almost as if gays are just normal people too that want good shows. XD (a bit of sarcasm there, not a jab at you).

Treat people like people

I tried reading a bl manga once and eh it mmm nope haha. Couldn't do it

[slate cave]

I read a bl novel once that started off cute (it was about a guy who got isekai'd into a future society and became really good at taking care of alien children)

it should be noted that all the alien children looked like animal cubs and adults could change into that form at any time

so the main love interest was.... masquerading as one of the children he was looking after......?

[fickle lava]

Oh hey a suggestion for an anime you might enjoy, it has trans and wlw in it though, is Land of the Lustrous. I swear that's what Rebecca sugar based Steven universe on

[slate cave]

and even ignoring all that, the love interest was SUPER possessive and creepy

oh i watched land of the lustrous

[fickle lava]

Ooh yey! No one seems to know that show

[slate cave]

excellent anime, props to studio orange for reminding us that 3d animation doesnt suck

[fickle lava]

I wanted a second season so bad

[slate cave]

the opening slaps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9MuI4gfyiA

[fickle lava]

dances with excitement you're about the third person I've met who's seen it

[slate cave]

although doesnt really count as wlw since i dont think any of the gems have a gender?

i watched it a long time ago though

[fickle lava]

Mmm maybe not. I just know they seem to go by "she"

[slate cave]

could be a translation error

[fickle lava]

The manga they use he and her

[slate cave]

japanese doesn't use the equivalents for "he" and "she" very often

usually they just use the name or you pick up who they're talking about via context

[fickle lava]

Uh the green protagonist starts as she in the manga then later changes look and gets called he

[slate cave]

was it an official translation

[fickle lava]

Yes

[slate cave]

the wiki uses "they" as far as I can tell

[fickle lava]

Their outfits also are meant to show if they're more masculine or feminine

[slate cave]

I'm of the opinion that they straight up just don't have a concept of gender

[fickle lava]

I thought it was such a good concept.

Ooh you're probably right

[slate cave]

the use of he and she from the translation mightve been because some readers hate the singular they

[fickle lava]

I mean, even the gems in SU didn't really have gender, they just took a more feminine look

[slate cave]

but as a race of literal alien gem people i... dont think they care

[fickle lava]

I swear she took the idea. It's too similar

[hot bluff]

If I ever feel comfortable doing a gay male relationship justice I'll grant your wish

I've done non-binary characters but i'm always worried about properly depecting same sex relationships.

[slate cave]

the explanation i saw was "the gems are all genderless but, since they learned it from the sensei, they all tend to use masculine speech"

[fickle lava]

One thing about ESO that I enjoy, and they've been applauded for, is gay and trans rep

[slate cave]

neat, khontis

also i didnt know eso had anything like that. never got very far

[hot bluff]

Mostly because I never really write most relationships well.

[slate cave]

sometimes i try writing myself but i never get very far
i have a google doc thats just my fluffy gay romance that will never see the light of day bc it has 0 conflict in it

[fickle lava]

Oh yeah. In their summerset expansion they have an entire quest about a trans elf

[slate cave]

wild

[hot bluff]

Nice

[gray sluice]

ok but can we just talk about how super mario world 2: yoshi's island had one of the best game soundtracks of all time

[fickle lava]

The argonian can change gender once in their life by way of their Hist tree as well

[fickle lava]

Never really played it 👀

[slate cave]

seems mean that they cant change twice

[hot bluff]

Same 😓

[slate cave]

so if they dont like their free trial of transitioning they can go swapsies

[fickle lava]

I think the explanation was the Hist can see what's in your heart

[hot bluff]

I've heard about it but i've never had the pleasure to play it sorry...

[slate cave]

ah ok

the best game soundtrack of all time goes to NieR and NieR: Automata sorry

[hot bluff]

I have also never played those...

[fickle lava]

I need to play nier Replicant, is it good? Anyone?

[hot bluff]

Though NieR is on my list of "games to play someday"

[slate cave]

i should rewatch houseki no kuni

[slate cave]

yes

but only if youre ok with dark stories

[fickle lava]

Oh I love dark stuff

[gray sluice]

listen to the jam you hear when you're selecting the map https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xZUISErsxg

[slate cave]

if you like super dark stuff i'd also recommend library of ruina because BARELY ANYONE KNOWS IT EXISTS

[fickle lava]

I love it already

[limber flax]

yoshi island, banger of a game

[thorny trail]

In the series I'm writing, there's not many relationships, and when there are, I try to make it appropriate for what should fit the history, backstory and life of the characters instead of pushing two characters together for the purpose of an agenda. It's hard to make relationships that'll appeal to everyone without either being too focused on straight or gay relationships, but it mostly ends up reflecting the author's mindset, and flexibility on those topics as well. Though none of my characters, except one who is a husband/disabled wife duo thus far.

[fickle lava]

Also for me, the Zelda series has best soundtrack

[thorny trail]

Also never played Yoshi's Island lol. Always wanted to tho

[gray sluice]

the music adds more and more instruments the further you progress in the game

[fickle lava]

I'm not lesbian but I've written wlw stuff and it's been well received.

[median brook]

Literally listening to Gerudo Valley as we speak

[fickle lava]

Ayyyeee

[thorny trail]

Haha I tried my hand on a variety of topics mostly focusing on them having a friendship regardless of what relationship and genders they are, since I believe a good friendship is essential for a healthy relationship

[slate cave]

well i linked a really slow song for replicant so i guess ill post a fast one for automata

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXlPt8mFkNI

[fickle lava]

That Eva song obvs isn't video game but if you've seen the movie, you'll know how sad it is

[slate cave]

something really fun about these soundtracks is that all the lyrics are gibberish

[fickle lava]

Also Rin, thanks for the chat. I'm a very curious person and not everyone takes the time to share their thoughts on that subject. And the more I can learn and understand others, the better I feel so I'm not in the dark.

does anyone know how much it costs to commission a video editor for a fairly simple video

(basically just adding effects and subtitles on a still image to make it more interesting than, yknow, just a still image)

[gaunt belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/howie-joke-cat-kitty-cute-meowtain-gif-16738223

[obsidian pagoda]

Depends on the length of the video, and how experienced the editor is

[slate cave]

like three minutes i guess

[obsidian pagoda]

hmm

[sudden cairn]

Hm. Doesn't Youtube let you add captions to your own vid? Assuming it's for Youtube, at least.

[obsidian pagoda]

Gambit how did you get lost

[slate cave]

well yeah

i can do basic subtitling

its just that its not very interesting to look at

[sudden cairn]

I don't know

[slate cave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8i6JnznAi8
dont bother watching if u dont want to and you can kinda just skip through it
but this was the kinda thing i was talking about

theres just the one piece of artwork

[obsidian pagoda]

Oh that’s not too complex

m a y b e like 50 USD depending on who you’re hiring? That could be very wrong though because the person I’m asking is kind of unreliable

[slate cave]

wilding

well maybe i'll keep it in mind
cheers

[obsidian pagoda]

I don’t know what that means but okay!

[sudden cairn]

"That's crazy/nuts"

[slate cave]

its rin vocabulary i dont think i even remember seeing anyone else say it ever

i mean i mustve gotten it from someone

but i dont remember

[sudden cairn]

I definitely have seen Wildin' before. Somewhere.

I mean, plopping text and a filter over a still image in a video probably isn't terribly hard, right?

[slate cave]

well its a lot of filters

[sudden cairn]

Oh

[slate cave]

it is also 8:40 am and i saw you start typing three times

now that youre done im going to bed

[sudden cairn]

Hm. Alrighty then! Goodnight

'cause I remember picking up Vegas 14 at some point, somehow, but I'm afraid the fact I know utterly nothing about it isn't really gonna get a whole lot done

[open thorn]

Sometimes I can't believe you can't find pictures or references to certain things... Like I had my first dice set bought for me at a hobby store back in the 2000s. I want to say with almost perfect certainty that it was released by Wizards of the Coast buuuuuuuuuut I can't find it and it's driving me bonkers lol

[young palm]

Once we do a little more work on our garage... We'll be making our own dice. 😄

[slate cave]

yay my package came in today

had a bunch of merch

[topaz shore]

Hope yours is intact, I had a package arrive this weekend and it had a manufactures defect making it unusable.

[gray sluice]

I hate chicago customs. They're so ungodly slow

[slate cave]

my stuff was intact yeah

i got a plushie and an acrylic stand and a keychain and some other stuff

[topaz shore]

I bought a homemade Ice cream maker. The area you put the ingredients was completely imploded. Hoping the replacement they are sending out is good. And as for Nish, the best advice I can give you is move away from Chicago, that place isn't safe anyways.

[gray sluice]

I dont live in chicago. Most of my international mail goes through chicago and they absolutely suck. Minimum 1 week hangups for absolutely no reason... I've had $1000 packages stuck there for almost a month

new york customs have absolutely no problems and are always 1-2 days

[topaz shore]

I don't know where my packages come through now. When I was in California they came through LA, it was a 50/50 chance of either being 1-2 days or 1-2 months there.

[zinc ivy]

I'd assume my packages go through chicago since I'm only an hour away and I either get my packages super fast or super late, hadly ever in the estimated time frame

[slate cave]

cant have shit in chicago

[slate cave]

[onyx quarry]

My absentee ballot vote for 2016 president elections got stuck in Chicago for more than a month and thus did not get counted.

[topaz shore]

Thus why I voted in person. US mail system is not reliable enough for something as critical as voter ballots.

[onyx quarry]

I was living overseas at the time so was without choice sadly

There was something in my coffee THERE WAS SOMETHING IN MY COFFEE

Why do all these nightmares happen to me!?

[lean brook]

nothing is so bad as things in coffee once i put my coffee down on the table and a spider walked in to it for a swim

[scenic stratus]

No no no NOOO WHY??

[lean brook]

guess spiders love coffee also

[scenic stratus]

Ahhhhh nightmare fuel!! Whatever was in mine… was not a spider.

for some reason my computer loves adding english (united kingdom) to my list of keyboards

[blazing merlin]

mine always adds the dutch of the Netherlands and english (uk) x,D

[slate cave]

i only have english (australia) and japanese, but when i swap too much it'll sometimes just add english (united kingdom) to the list for no discernible reason
then i have to go to the language settings on windows, add english (united kingdom) and then remove it again to make it go away

this is such a weird problem,

damn same problem huh 😔

thankfully i havent gotten dutch yet

[blazing merlin]

yh and i always switch when i do shortcuts in adobe programs x,D

It’s normally fine but our sleep schedules got messed up and I’m going on twenty-something hours awake.

Nope

Exactly what it is xD sometimes it's automod as well, I know that's in #💬│palia-discussions at least, sometimes people get removed before it even really shows up xD

[muted pumice]

Anyone else watching the space x launch? T-3mins!

[sudden cairn]

I wish I found this message earlier.

[fickle lava]

Anyone know any good Viking era/Norse TV shows available on prime, Netflix or Hulu? I'm having trouble

I've seen Vikings, tried the All Mighty Johnsons, Ragnarok (TV series)

[rigid zephyr]

Ragnarok Tv series 💚

[median brook]

I see that new look, radiant

[limpid yacht]

Not sure where it's available, and not really Viking/Norse exactly: The Last Kingdom

[median brook]

Yeah was just about to say The Last Kingdom

[rigid zephyr]

Rimuru Tempest is

[fickle lava]

Sadly that one is paid for atm on prime, it's not included t.t

[limpid yacht]

Not sure about era, more so caribean/pirates: Black Sails looks cool, I've been meaning to check it out

[fickle lava]

Oh black sails is good, I watched most of season 1

[median brook]

You don't have it on netflix?

[fickle lava]

Not in the states

[median brook]

Cursed be region restrictions!

[fickle lava]

Yuh

I'd have to subscribe to a streaming service on prime to watch it

[median brook]

I don't even use any myself but, vpn's

[fickle lava]

That's me, right now, this very second

I'm gonna go to bed now xD

[fickle lava]

Oh! Last kingdom is on Netflix, PS4 search just didn't give that result 😒

[limpid yacht]

ugh, one reason I canceled my subscription to Netflix [loong ago] was only being able to find stuff on Netflex... by not searching Netflix...

Put me on Saturn so I can visit Titan!

[fickle lava]

Oh yes please

And the Venus thing, they'd have habitats resistant to acid.

It's been a long while since I read the article but I guess they thought it was better to live closer to the sun and not further

I'd honestly be scared of being cooked

[sudden cairn]

Also rings. Rings are always beautiful to stare at.

And to see the rock they punched a hole in!

[fickle lava]

It really sucks that they said it'll take years to get that sample back to Earth!

[sudden cairn]

At least it is possible they can get it back. I hear Mars missions don't land with much grace half the time

Which is pretty unfortunate and probably heart breaking

[fickle lava]

I just legit wanna see a human on Mars during my lifetime

I've got...oooh about 50 years, 60 if I'm lucky

[sudden cairn]

Same. Too late to see the first Moon Landing, but maybe in time for the first Mars one?

[wise flame]

that's good to hear. Hope the rest of the night will go smoothly Doing pretty good over hear. Just came inside a few min ago. Did some work in the garden, so my nose is having a fit and I bet that some muscles of mine will realize they exist soon and will give me hell

[scenic stratus]

I hope so too! They say kiddos this young don’t get growing pains but.. I think that’s what’s going on here.

Oh man, is that normal for you? Cuz I never had that problem before but this year is killer!! Poor nose!

[wise flame]

awee, poor Kit. We all had to go through it, hope it won't be too bad. And yeah, it's normal for me, since a have a ton of allergies, so I'm pretty much used to it.

[scenic stratus]

Yeah, poor thing is gonna be so damn tall. Taller than me in no time!

Whatcha growin? (If you don’t mind me askin~)

[wise flame]

noice, I'm the taller one of me and my twin sis and it does have its own perks, but keep watch on the spine, that's where I have all my problems even though I'm not super tall. And yeah, rn we're growing pumpkins, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, blackberries, kiwis and some grape trees :D

[scenic stratus]

Gosh, the human back is nature’s biggest joke, haha! I actually need to be strength training or I get in so much back pain I can’t walk.

PUMPKINS! We grew some last year and now there’s a female Cardinal who has been bringing us pumpkin seeds from who knows where all summer, haha!

Wait. Wait- you can grow Kiwi!? Why have I never done this??? Wow your garden sounds amazing!!

[wise flame]

I also should be doing those back excercises, but I haven't been doing them in quite a long time >_> oh well, my spine hates me. And yupyup, kiwis are also great for making pergolas (back at grandma's place she had a whole terrace in the nice shade of kiwis, it was awesome during summer). And ty, we try our best, since it's pretty small, so have to keep it super organized XD

[scenic stratus]

One day I must do this!
Yeah, we had a gorgeous back yard set up for a while, even though it was tiny. Little greenhouse, stone path, three rose bushes, two lemon trees, lots and lots of herbs, and my BIG hibiscus. But it’s all pretty much gone now, been breaking it down over time since we can’t take care of it all anymore. Next place we live, we begin again!!

[wise flame]

sounds really nice indeed :D wish you all the best with your new garden endeavours

[austere lance]

next year I intend to grow pumpkin in my backyard...or butternut squash...don't know yet

going to mix them with corn and beans.

aaannnnd not repeat the tomatoes mess of this year

[lilac agate]

What happened to your tomatoes?

[patent moat]

Last year we had cherry tomato seeds not fully broken down in our compost and despite not getting around to planting our garden, we ended up with a mini tomato forest.
they can be a bit invasive if not tended to properly. And they produce a LOT more than some people anticipate.

[lilac agate]

Oh yeah. Tomatoes are one of those plants that if you don't control them? They'll control you.

Same with squash.

Oh gods, Zucchini and Summer Squash. They grow to the size of toddlers and they produce and produce and produce

[patent moat]

A lot of our seeds didn’t make it this year due to a cold snap, but our cantaloupes survived but we didn’t expect how fast their vines would take over! Gardening has been quite the adventure~

[lilac agate]

Oh definitely. Vining plants are either the slowest mfers in existence, or they're speed racer.

[austere lance]

too much...I planted around 16 plants because I didn't have the heart to cull the weaker looking one.

[lilac agate]

OH NO

[austere lance]

they all produced...

[lilac agate]

My uncle made that mistake for our grandmother once. It was like a localized jungle. He never peeled back the suckers, either, so they just bushed out and overproduced.

[austere lance]

yeaaahhh...exactly what happened...about 12 tomatoes plants on a little 4 ft per 8 ft plot

[lilac agate]

Oh dear. Yeah, you always need to nip the suckers between the established branches so they don't bush out of control.
