(This also means that if the pattern of announcement dates holds, Walpurgisnacht will start on the 17th.)
Please tell me this screenshot is taken out of context and not actually referring to Disco Elysium x'D
Thanks everyone for your confirmations. I'll keep the workaround in mind in case this doesn't get solved soon, and can confirm it worked for me before.
Agreed. When I saw the timing of the new Canto I thought to myself that doing an April Fools right in the middle of that would be awkward on all levels, and while last year's joke was without exaggeration the most fun I ever had with an April Fools I'm glad that Project Moon decided to not spread themselves thin nor break the mood they've worked to set up.
The roundup! I knew I was forgetting something yesterday =D
Yes, I'm still juggling way too many plates at once compared to the spoons I have. Meh. That being said, Finish What You Started began yesterday, so I exhumed an old and dusty WIP to work on. It's Star Wars, reader insert, and it was supposed to be PWP but uh... OK I'm nailing the "no plot" but when you get over a certain amount of angst and psychological analysis it doesn't exactly make the transition to smut easy either x') Time will tell if I manage...
Also earlier this week I had a stupid doctor appointment to renew meds that should be renewed automatically if things made sense, but my point is: waiting room. Doctors' waiting rooms are a space out of reality where I find myself reading books even though I've been basically unable to for years. So I've read Straight by Chuck Tingle. It's not the kind of book that'll spawn fandomy things for me, but if you like horror (or even if you're not particularly interested in horror but are not repulsed either) I warmly recommend it =)
Well, maybe this event would be more to your taste then, given it's a low engagement, "do what you can when you can" event ^^ There's no sign-up, no objective set in stone, it's really more of a way for people to cheer on each other for a common goal of finishing stuff. Some people do word sprints, some ask for an accountability buddy, some post todo lists... but also some just hang out and clap when someone finishes something. The admin makes posts with tips and/or motivation stuff. It's very chill unless you personally asked for it not to be =)
Good to know you had a nice weekend ♥
Congrats on existing! That's already plenty badass in the current chaos. Sending strength both for your creative projects and for your Pillowfort fixing. It's really a shame that tumblr can't stay out of the "let's break everything" party.
And no problem for sharing the event, it helped me so now I want it to also help others =)
All of this seems harsh! Congrats for managing to keep writing through the Life Being An Annoyance, even if you hoped to accomplish more that's already super badass! I hope life stops being an annoyance and you can get some rest.
I discussed it on mastodon with someone a bit more experienced with kbin than I am, and apparently it's a known problem that mastodon and kbin/lemmy do not play well together yet, but people hope that it'll get better because kbin and lemmy are still young compared to mastodon so of course they have less working features.
They fact that different instances of kbin and/or lemmy are also having a hard time synchronizing posts is still puzzling though. I know sometimes I need to comment on a post I make to have it appear on kbin, but I don't know why these posts and why it works...
*groans in Federation* Why has this post not shown on my side...?
So! I'm not doing NaNo but I'm determined to cheer on everyone tackling this challenge, so have a little "you can do it" dance ♥
As for me: right now I'm trying to finish a fic for a kinkmeme. My inability to focus would be impressive if it wasn't so annoying x') For later this month, I opened prompts in a community to try to liven it up and will choose the prompt I'll write on the 8th. (I already know what it'll be because there's only one prompt and at this point I'm pretty sure no one else will even acknowledge the existence of my post. Well, I wanted to see if people there wanted fanfic, I have my answer.) And for a more long-term project, there's a fic I've wanted to finish for years to post for a friend's birthday in January, and I decided (again) that this year I would finish it dammit. So I have two months for that. We'll see if I do better than all the previous years x')
Now, time to stop procrastinating and go write this damn kinkmeme fic... *glares at open doc*
I can't remember in which community I saw the link to this article, so I'll add it there just in case given it's very relevant: How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) (TL;DR: it already happened several times, by having the big corpo enter the network as the first step)
I'm personally in favour of defederating from/blocking everything owned/operated by Meta.
The studio trying to get more money out of the game after firing every person whose creativity and skill made the game what it is leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. As far as I could see, this is the source of the vast majority of the negative comments.
It's like when people praise Disco Elysium and add "but don't buy it because the creators won't get any money from it". Same feeling of defensiveness about the original team.
