Violets and Dandelions

There's been a burst of wildflowers popping up this past week, these two seem to always go together on any unkempt lawn. I have to smile because it reminds me of them. Maybe I'll do more with these two and their flowers

let's hear it for the video gaem!!!

new tomolifeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaau actually i have some disorganised thoughts about current game and old game and reaction to it and completionist mentality and general gaming things.

you know undertale/deltarune are great games because it's a meta commentary on the completionist mindset in video games, which, you don't really see in gaming. drv3 was kodaka saying "danganronpa sucks actually and you're a bad person and cringe for still liking it" while toby fox is making a meta commentary by having you question the morality of completionism in video games without like... villainising the genre. just you. you're the villain. and it's great. the games don't punish you in a sense of "you're a bad person for doing this" but making you go "it's ok to not have every answer" (like, by being a completionist, you actively ruin the happy ending you've given the characters by seeking out the darker routes and godddddd i loveeeeee it). idk what toby fox has planned for deltarune in the end, but the Weird Route™ makes me feel scared for every character involved and it makes me love writing so much.

( OH BOY! VIDEO GAMES! )

anyways............... who cares if people are speedrunning the game just to get bored later. let them ruin the experience or whatever. it's not like undertale. there is no wrong way to play lifesims.

lost in your game to change the same, forever gone, forever you

so they softblocked me on a few of their accounts, even their priv priv, except their main priv and persona fandom account. mmhmm. yeah. i'm not doing this game anymore.

over a year of being treated like a dirty little secret and not as a real friend because your friend is obsessed with hating me for softblocking her a decade ago and refused to let it go. i'm not putting myself through it anymore. it would have been better to never have gotten an apology at all. it meant nothing. we were friends again for 2 weeks last january before she came in all "uhmm they hurt my feelings a decade ago" like whatever. i'm over it. my stupid feelings don't matter and she made the ultimatum first and i never made one at all but this is not a friendship. this was torture. i put myself through it because "no it can get better". it won't. it doesn't. idc anymore. we are strangers again and it can make Her really happy to know she ruined it all not that she cared anyway. idec if she somehow finds this, reads it, and gets mad. yeah. YOU ruined it being jealous and weird. high school ended decades ago. just not for you i guess.

my heart is broken but it will heal and forget this ever happened. i just have to heavily avoid corpse party fandom again. lmao.
whatever.

recently an old friend, darlie, got in contact with me again. she said she wasn't talking to HER anymore. i found it suspicious why she brought it up, and also even asked how i felt about her. she said they hadn't been friends in a while but her pinned tweet literally references her. we didn't talk much after. she even asked for a link to my comic again. sighs. i think everyone's just fucking with me.

It started a joke, I swear.

Ty-Grrl lives at Arkham Asylum and has an unhealthy obsession with Zatanna. Also she's 8 ft tall.

The case of the missing notifications

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
