link to an article about Wednesday show

if you, like me, intensely related to our #ADHD and #autistic coded characters in Tim Burton’s Wednesday, you might enjoy this article. Found it to be an interesting analysis of why folks are so against calling very obviously ND coded characters ND. https://medium.com/@smcnett/yes-wednesday-addams-is-autistic-6b7eb4b81faa

if a detective showed up at your door and said your adult daughter was missing, what’s the first thing you’d do? Im writing a branching story ark / choose your own narrative, thinking about all the angles. So far I have ‘invite inside to discuss’ and ‘go with detective to investigate where she was last seen.’ #AmWriting #NarrativeDesign #VideoGames #VisualNovel #Mystery

Honestly, I love receiving high tier rejections. You want me to know that you think I’m good AND I don’t have to subject my work to further scrutiny? Don’t hate it!
High tier rejection doesn’t even feel like rejection, it feels like a nod of encouragement. Yes, keep going, we believe in you. You possess magic. #AmWriting #writing #WritingCommunity #LiteraryMagazines #microfiction

Just in writing that I am overcome with emotion. Maybe that’s good. The embarrassment shifts to sadness. I am so so sad for that person. For all the years spent in a rigid schema of seeing and understanding the world, for the complete abandonment of self and personal desire, for the severe depersonalization and derealization. Maybe a third of my life was lost to that darkness, but hopefully I have 2/3s of a different type of living. #AuDHD #nonbinary #autistic

I’m working & failing with the self-love thing as a late diagnosis #AuDHD #trans person. I should love my past selves & treat them with kindness but I mostly treat them with disdain.
I watch videos of myself from anything more than a year ago & it’s like I’m cosplaying what I think a neurotypical good Catholic straight cis woman/girl to be. Which I didn’t realize I was doing at the time but I definitely was. I hope I can find a way to make peace with that lost soul.

I write and read like a person with AuDHD. I feel like it would be great to have a publication that was curated by and for folks with ADHD, autism, cognitive and mental health conditions, and other disabilities. Does this exist? #AmWriting #publication #WritersOfMastodon

“Larry! Come over here,” the round man behind the front desk waves over to another round man.
“Ay, Xal. This man bothering you?” The second round man, Larry, walks over and looks you up and down.
“This is an exigent situation, sirs,” I try to explain. “I need your help.”
“Listen, listen,” says Larry as he shoos Xal away from the monitor. “I don’t care whether you’re a gent or not. We need 10k tokens to process the request to Mars.”

poem about surviving SA

at some point in time when you’re sure you’re about to die pinned under the weight of an enemy body, your eyes will stop blinking and you will look up at where the night sky is (if you are lucky enough to see it). ceiling or stars, you will stare upward blankly and remember when television sets had dials and the tears will pour out your eyes and your body will shake and shake until it’s over. if you hear the static of a lost channel, it will mean you are alive.

when my nose bleeds I try not to move. frozen in space and time on the edge of a dream. silence and blue lights. capillary crime scene. failed Time Lord, I watch a red drop fall to my pillow in slow mo. not the good sheets! then I spring into action, innocence lost. shuffle to the bathroom, commune with toilet paper. I win the war but lose the battle. the good sheets no more.

There at the edge I could see the light. Faint at the bottom of the canyon.
“That’s what we’re here for?”
He nodded.
“What is it?”
“You think we’d need to go down there if we knew?” He asked, shaking his head at me and my dumb questions.
With sure steps, we began to descend the steep winding path. In the distance, I spotted the brightly colored coats of the team that came before us, trying to look away from the sun-dried corpses within.

I miss when The Sims characters had astrological signs that determined attraction and compatibility. I feel like an old timer being like, “How does this new fangled system work?!”

Indie dev folks: What’s your experience with Godot?

Im a baby video game dev with a background in front end dev and graphic design. Debating whether to invest there vs. Unity or Unreal.
