@rakuno@gamepad.club Yeah I’d have carried it around much more if it were GBA SP sized but the 3DS, and especially the XL, weren’t really pocket friendly. But the XL had the golden Majora’s Mask edition so what choice did I have??

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social So apparently I’m not the only one whose dashboard is suddenly loaded up with weird pettiness directed at trans men? And thankfully plenty of rebuttals to that nonsense.

@futurebird@sauropods.win And aunts are either the best or the worst WASPs. With no middle ground.

@Hellybootwader@mastodon.scot Do you know anyone with a kiln or torch? You could re-enamel the needles. It may require sandblasting to prep the affected areas and transition over to existing enamel. They also make porcelain top coats; a layer of that may be worthwhile if it will bond directly to metal. It would give you a more enamel-like surface and protect the metal from rusting.

@nonehitwonder I think I’m going to steal this for anytime I purchase a prepared item. Mockery seems to drive the point home the strongest at this point.

@Popehat@mastodon.social @MiriShuli@mstdn.social @Pope@mstdn.social Oh! I think I’ve identified your problem. Criticism is not disdain. Giving you negative feedback for a low-quality insult does not mean I disdain you. Disagreement is not contempt, nor is negative impression. I would expect you to be more familiar with those concepts.

@Popehat@mastodon.social @MiriShuli@mstdn.social @Pope@mstdn.social Look, I know you’re taking any negative feedback as “proof” but frankly you’re playing into her point more strongly than anyone else has played into yours. You don’t like criticism (fine) and you apparently get more of it here than there. You’ve already announced your departure so what are you still doing here? Forget whif [sic], this reeks of seeking drama.

@Popehat@mastodon.social @MiriShuli@mstdn.social @Pope@mstdn.social “Others’” in this context was the person you reposted above. I already said it’s fine that you don’t like the type of criticism you get here. And yes, you’re handling that criticism the way you want. And I’m telling you that your method makes you look foolish (which has nothing to do with how *I* feel entitled to be handled, whatever you think that means) and suggesting you commit to the method you already mentioned.

@Popehat@mastodon.social @MiriShuli@mstdn.social @Pope@mstdn.social I was plenty careful. I never said your departure would be absolute. I’m also not scolding you for your choice—my response yesterday wished you well. And no, you need not sit, respectfully or otherwise. You identified a course of action: reducing time here. Instead you’ve apparently chosen to *increase* time posting here AND prove others’ assessment that you can’t handle criticism by lobbing idiotic colonialism insults.

@beep @molly0xfff I can personally attest it feels amazing too! And reasonably priced relative to its competitors.

I want so badly to shove this article under Roberts et al.’s noses and demand they explain how we’re supposedly post-racism. @IveyJanette@mastodon.social

@bartreardon@aus.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social Yeah, but Perl 7 is only 5 years old and also already retired while we birth a new Perl 7. 17 years is positively ANCIENT compared to the once and future Perl 😇

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com I’d be down for a Metabook, but sadly I’m sure they wouldn’t interpret that word to mean a @glennf@zeppelin.flights-esque “publication on the history of publishing”.

@itzyg@mostlygood.xyz My server isn’t large by any stretch but we fit the other two and I’m always looking for more folks! It justifies my decision to keep paying for the server as long as possible lol Edit: oh, and we participate in a couple relays that broaden our timeline out to lots of other indie servers etc.
