My 7-year old, cleaning the playroom with me: Do we have a hot glue gun?
Me: Yes… why?
Him: if we glue every object to another object then it’s half as many things to clean up

mastodon 4.7.2+glitchMom, musician, manager, moonanite. Introvert-to-extrovert trans woman.
I’m an engineering QA manager for Apple Music on Vision Pro, but I don’t talk about work things on here and do not represent my employer :-)
Things I do love to talk about:
• Audio recording & engineering, especially ambisonic or other surround formats
• Dispelling hifi audio pseudoscience
• Trans things like self-actualization and bra fitting
I also love baking & cooking, singing, peculiar instruments, typographic design, and being a girl.
My profile picture is myself, a white woman with chin-length streaky blond curly hair (with a section of blue and pink) wearing a white jacket over a green tank top.
The background picture is a panorama of deep sunset in a suburb, with streetlights illuminated.

OK so this is technically the faded colors of the Butler Amusement Company but hey, accidental ally :akko_shrug:

@superbetsy you had to read The Silmarillion to learn this but the golden hue of The One Ring was from Sauron using browned butter, this is what made it irresistible

@viq@social.hackerspace.pl @pthariensflame@social.treehouse.systems I think the direction I’m getting here is that I need to introduce him to Katamari Damacy
people should note that this bathroom has terrible lighting, the counter height is weird, and also (per queer selfie law) this mirror is filthy, so it really speaks to just how hot @rooster@beige.party is that none of this matters :akko_thumbup:
@rooster@beige.party omg me tooo it’s relentless
I got one that guaranteed pregnancy in 1 year or less, I think I’ll have to test that claim

@what@chaosfem.tw in this extremely rare case he was highly motivated because tomorrow this room will become new baby bunny home base, and needed to be completely clear and cleaned 🐰
but yeah no the rest of the time it’s just desperate forms of bribery with a near-0% success rate

@juanejot no they got it right, the bin is exactly where jelly donuts belong

@Daveography@yeg.bike well it’s hot glue so it’s not working harder, more like working tackier

@Driftya@mastodon.social I neatly avoided the philosophical issue of what constitutes an object by pointing out that the act of joining things together was “crafting,” and we needed to be “cleaning”
there was probably a lesson in there on how optimizing a solution often takes more time than just finishing the problem, but there were crushed goldfish crackers to be vacuumed :akko_shrug:

@jhaas@a2mi.social I’m so pleased that myself and several others in the replies all had the same thought, what a perfect game
I do have to budget for replacing all the controllers that will be destroyed in frustrated rage though

@danirabbit@mastodon.online as an aside wth my parents in their 70s know what a pokéball is, it’s been a cultural phenomenon since 1997

@storybead@chaosfem.tw aahh!! If you maybe post a lil’ pic now we’ll be the only ones to see it… :akko_excited:

@Dani@mastodon.sandwich.net that looks absolutely fantastic! Would it be OK if I wrote a lil’ alt text then? No obligation to use it.

@boozook@mastodon.gamedev.place so it’s like an inverted Ship of Theseus, every action explicitly negates the previous object
pretty bad-ass actually

@malcircuit@thingy.social this is absolutely astonishing Mallory. I spent at least 10 minutes looking at the full-res version and it’s blowing my mind how much detail you got in there. All those heavily red-shifted galaxies! The DETAIL on the neighboring galaxies! So, so impressive, bravo 👏🤩
@Recalcitrant@autonomous.zone Here to express my outrage that “Heartthrob” isn’t on here and at 100%

@FinalGirl@blackqueer.life I know, I know, me acting like a Liberal and talking about the pearl-clutching hypocrisy, but the sheer brazen lack of introspection as Dawkins blithely re-names and re-genders that LLM instance without the slightest qualm just boggles the mind.

@imp3tuz this is so fantastic thank you for sharing! My daughter draws lots of characters but with very little proper reference for Black hair she defaults to highly stylized or straightened hair, this will be such a helpful resource! ❤️🙌

@askans I am allo-abled (no difficulties with visual or aural processing) and I still look for and read alt text every time, if nothing else because I like learning how others are writing alt text so I can inform and improve my own descriptive captions.
