So hey just a request:

if I say something that you know to be untrue or that contradicted something else I said previously, please let me know so that I can reconcile things and disentangle things that are true from things I only wish were true.

I don't want to be an unreliable narrator, and I don't want to fall into some very bad habits and patterns that have been ingrained to me all my life.

I want to be better than that.

Thanks. 💜

Oops I lost my old #introductions post in the last instance fandango but enough has changed I'd might as well make a new one right?

Hi, I'm fluffy! I'm a software engineer by day (working at an HIV research lab as of December, 2018) and in my spare time I make music, games, comics, and bad decisions.

See my bio for various links!

Also http://beesbuzz.biz/about for a somewhat fuller bio I guess.

Mmm salad

Today feels like a salad day.

Good thing rehashing my thread IDs is even an option now.

Wow good thing it’s so easy for me to rehash my comment thread IDs, because I hecked up and leaked my HMAC key *again*

wellp just got outright rejected by Google, they never even called me

Meanwhile I'm signing up for Fiverr, maybe I'll get some sustainable music gigs that way

now that I have the actual fibromyalgia diagnosis it feels like it's at least possible for me to maybe get on SSI/disability/etc., but the requirements for that are still onerous.

so, I dunno what I want to do, or even *can* do, about any of this.

Three years ago I decided to go full-time as an indie game developer/musician/cartoonist because I was feeling completely burned out. One year ago I gave up on that because I couldn't figure out how to turn that into a stable source of income, and re-entered the job market.

I'm still feeling burned out and completely mentally unfit to be a full-time software engineer, and I'd still rather be making games and music. But now I'm disheartened at that possibility too.

Okay so I saw the whole first series now and there’s some cleverness in the plot but I think this is more about capturing a feeling than about telling a story. And maybe that’s why it resonated so well with so many people.

Also how many of these pop culture references are just in the localization? The bit where it’s animated like South Park is obviously from the original but there’s references to Crystal Pepsi, Star Trek Voyager, and a bunch of other Gainax anime.

And his dad dresses up like a nazi

Yeah this is um 😐

I’m four episodes in and I’m just thinking it’s really gross how horny everyone is for this 12-year-old boy who is clearly not interested

I’m trying to watch FLCL again and I still have no fuckin idea what’s going on.

So either I misread the Cartoon Network site last night or Infinity Train is no longer free to watch. :(

Someone has uploaded rips of all the episodes to Dailymotion though. Or if you want to go the legal route you can buy it on iTunes or Amazon for $15.
