I seem to be fine now if I take my progresterone at a consistent time, but if I take a dose late, I get (a little) dizzy again. I wonder if I need more time with the in-take to adjust.

Messaging my doctor either way. I don't know what a normal reaction is supposed to look like ; ^ ;

Not too long after I posted this, I face-planted the concrete and scaped my knee so bad, it's still a bit swollen and healing! ; ^ ;

The dizzyness was so sneaky. You think you're alright, then you try to stand up. Or walk across the parking lot and barely catch a block with your work shoe-

A selfie of me in a blue flowery dress with sleeves, and my long brunnete hair with a daily wig on top 💙

So, my doctor prescribed progesterone for me last week. I thought the (initial) side effects would be funnier than what I got: Being very sleepy and nearly tripping down the stairs a couple of times, lol

I've never been that kind of dizzy before, it was surreal, but I'm adjusted to the intake now 💙

I am still allowing more NPCs, but only from people who stick around the community. I can't trust this process to be such an open book anymore.

I gotta be real: I have no more tolerance for social-media brainrotten assholes and ego-tripping adult children "on the project". Just gonna ban the next one.

This was supposed to be a special and inclusive feature to bring the community together. Y'all ruining the fan game scene for the rest of us

While I do appreciate the SMA community for contributing NPCs to the game, I regret trusting outsiders in the fandom, who walked in only to submit their OCs, never talk, then sometimes get really rude with my artists if we upgraded their shading, or they request deletion without a provided reason

People don't realize things in games can't just be "deleted". It breaks everything, including the story.

Another pain point is how not all NPC sprites are polished up to an okay standard. The quality of the sprites are all over the place; it's an impossible task for a full-time job-haver like me 💔

Note to self: No more than 16 NPCs for the next game. 90+ for SMA is such a burden with the code, UI work, and importantly, *time not spent on making the campaign*.

Worst of all, when people ask for NPCs to be deleted- That's 4-8 hours of rewriting hub text and making sure the editor doesn't crash!

This was also my first Zelda game. (And the first game I ever played!) It was my dad's treat for me learning how to read at 6 years old. I'm 36 now

It's still special for me. I have both US and Japanese versions. I'm replaying the game right now! 💙 The end and credits sequence brings me to tears

We all need to wish you a happy trans birthday on 4/11 next year, then! ^ v ^

It's your trans birthday now! 💙 (Mine's 8/22)

Having been on it for 1.5 years, I enjoy watching the changes; it does even more than I hoped for.

I wish you well on your medical transition. It has many fun surprises for you! ^ v ^

We must be allowed to be human. The doormat philosophy creates a toxic, unwelcoming atmosphere for the audience too.

My manager in a prior job once shouted at a loud-and-proud COVID denier to get out of her store, and the whole dining hall cheered! (He ran btw lmao)

We need this online too

Trying to get better at drawing Merga because I wanna draw her more.

This is the splash art I created for Krita 5.3.0 / 6.0.0, aiming to depict a refreshing and pleasant summer seaside scene. Full version, source file and creative process can be found on my website in my profile info.

I was pleasantly surprised by the last Linux beta, so color me excited to see the next LTS release! 💙 I might try the beta if I can keep the LTS and beta at once

Am I alone in always having every major version of Game Maker installed? (Even the classics like v5.3a all the way to 8.1 and Studio 1.4)

I was lucky enough to try it on a real live Saturn as a teenager. It's a delightful tease of what could have been for Sonic Adventure, but delightful nonetheless. I spent a lot of time with it, and the Christmas Nights demo! 💙

I second this. Zelda is at its best when it experiments, not repeating itself 💔

I liked Nintendo's output for the Switch 1 *because* all of the series expanded their genres' formats. Luigi's Mansion 3 was a grander 2, etc.

Now even Metroid has gone through the open world wood chipper. I'm so done

I always wonder if it's both political extremes' desires to go full authoritarian; different (stated) reasons, same goal. The far right is simply far less subtle about it, if not emboldened (at present) to go all-in no matter how sloppy the implementation is

We can't let our guard down after Orange

There was a point where social media felt like a natural step forward in the information age. Now it just feels like having your hands glued to the palintir Denethor used to communicate with Sauron. And sometimes he shows you pictures of kittens to keep you coming back.

I worked on this mod for a long time. Spade is now a fully playable character in Freedom Planet 2! 💙 Go play it y'all

Freedom Planet Plus 1.0 is finally out!

Same. I want to dip and make a personal website.

Social media was a hopeful future compromised by billionaires and rage-bait parasites; they pay the bills antagonizing us all day, while we have lives to get back to.

I'm done with this drunk "oracle". Good causes muffled by society's loudest losers

My ideal would be getting just enough to stay part-time at the day job. More time to specialize in my hobbies, but not so much that I lose my mind at home.

Full-time game dev would crash my anxious mind and be difficult to sustain, but full-time hospital work isn't great for my brain, either! ; ^ ;

Thankies! ^ v ^ It has been a long time coming, I hope fans enjoy it

Treylina and Kubo are working on the finishing touches for the mod, so we might see an update soon 💙

To my horror, I realized BlueSky quietly switched from PNG to WEBP! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I will nary forgive the online art community for collectively migrating off art sites to social media. But I guess we all had high hopes of advancing human connection and the arts until platform holders had other ideas

Thankies, HEHE ^ v ^

Now I can finally unpin Spade's sprite sheet from my Aseprite home page *bricked*

Here is an uncompressed PNG. Apologies for the image above 💔

@23lief.bsky.social and I have finished the sprites for the Spade mod for FP2!

The rest is up to Kubo, the mod author. I thought y'all would like to look at the spritesheet itself. It was a team effort with our friends! 💙
