  +1 for Bandcamp. they often run a "bandcamp friday" event where they waive their cut of all music sold that day, so almost everything (payment processors still take a cut) goes to the artist. there are also self-hosted alternatives to bandcamp like faircamp

  i can hear it in Dorn's voice so clearly: "Bubbles is not a traditional name for a targ."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  something that i think gets lost in the sauce in thrse discussions is whether fun is derived from playing or winning. people are comparing Silksong- and to get ahead of it right now i haven't played and am not criticizing either of the Hollow Knights- to old arcade and early console games and their legendary difficulty, but a lot of those games were meant to be complete and fun experiences even if you game over very early on. they also didn't have levels full of bespoke Stuff in them, it was the same few tiles and entities in different configurations., so being stuck on level 1 didn't mean you were missing out on a narrative and worldbuilding. with how the lines have blurred between games and narrative art forms in the last few decades, there are different incentives at play and someone stuck on world 1 of SMB isn't missing out nearly as much as someone stuck on whatever the first stage of Silksong is. it's all ultimately apples and oranges

  thank you!

  can anyone recommend a good read into the actual developments happening with ATproto as of late? i've seen a lot of insisting lately that things are changing/have changed but no one's saying what exactly is or has changed

  what confuses me the most about these videos is the call to action. go back? that's not how time works!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Star Trek books?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean you're totally right, the entire premise is a huge stretch. that's part of what makes it so fic-y, which is certainly not for everyone's pallette

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Star Trek books?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there's a series of in-universe biographies that ranges from good to great. The Autobiography of Mr. Spock and The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko are my favorites, they're very good looks into those character's minds and also give you a lot of cool background info on the federation inside and outside of starfleet. i definitely recommend those two and the rest of you're hungry for more after

  if you're salty about how Enterprise ended, espwcially for one character in particular, The Good That Men Do is worth checking out. it reads like a fixfic because it essentially is but hey. it leads into a few other books but i haven't had a chance to read them yet
