I like taking these and flipping them to get sinister positivity.
No longer praying on your happiness, I will be directly involved.

Not every day my hyperfixations for textiles and sexual activity overlap lol

Modern pantyhose yes, but at the time of this quote pantyhose was an unyealding bother for everyone involved. Any attempt to get your hand into them would cause runs and ruin the hose. They were not comfortable fabric, so fucking through them would be a sandpaper condom on both sides. All in all, it’s just a big negative for everyone involved that was unilaterally unnecessary.

Just remember that your high energy and positive vibe are likely the delight of everyone around you. You don’t need to be a master planner to keep the spirits high.

You guys need a dog catcher in your group. This is one of those archetypes that gets over looked because it feels like something that’s part of several other archetypes, but it really makes a difference to have it stand alone.
It’s in the name, he catches strays. This is the guy that pulls groups together from separate circles, introduces new guys to the group, or occasionally plays match maker. He’s probably running your Discord server or keeps putting you in group chats, he’s the one that does the logistics planning when it comes to more complicated outings Lee week long trips and bachelor parties. In public outings he probably makes friends with staff or other queue waiters. He’s probably the guy that stages interventions but out of genuine care.
There are others that can fill the role, golden retriever boys are good at the finding people but too dumb to coordinate. Fearless leaders can attract crowds but normally don’t have the personal touch to keep anyone new long term. Sheep dogs are great at keeping new boys in the group but they don’t invite new people. More often than not, the dog catcher will be playing another role in the group because their current services aren’t being utilized so he’s either not invested in it or your group is one of his secondary groups. If you’re scrolling through your contacts trying to figure out who I’m taking about, if you’re the forever DM, or if your boys keep saying “whatever happened to X” and you’re the guy that reminds them, you’re probably the dog catcher.

Oh you are in for a treat! it’s an antique instrument with a very distinctive sound.

That you either passionately love or viscerally hate droning instruments.

The biggest sin is when you see cheap plastic goggles with gears and spikes covering one eye. The point if goggles is to protect the eyes, not obscure your vision and carry your trash.

It’s not quite the same as you describe, but I do carry the tenets of that old steampunk to my modern crafts. Right now I’m making an electric hurdy gurdy cello out of a broken guitar, a kitchen mixer, and 3d printed models of my own construction. If steampunk taught me anything it’s that anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

I’ll have to listen to this after work, but I already feel at home in the comments.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 week ago:
I’m much the same. When I got into it, the brass goggles forum required you to hand make and chare your goggles to be a full member. By the time I had the skill to do that, the forum had died and the fandom was a tag on Etsy for dropshippers.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 week ago:
I have a tangentially related thing. I got big into steampunk decades ago when it was still young. Back then, it was a maker culture, a loosely defined idea of cogs and boilers that gave you a fun little world to practice your craft in. It wasn’t just form, it was function. Hammering brass to make functional goggles, learning the Victorian techniques to whalebone corsets, clockwork to accomplish something we only do now with variable controllers.
Now I look for my people and I find a rusting husk of I knew. Gone are the color and texture, replaced by brown on brown in cotton and leather. Where once gears and cogs were carved to spin and move, now they serve only to be glued to cheap accessories. The gleaming promises of brass and copper and steel, userped by soulless luster of plastics.
We should Never have let the world in.

The worst part about it is that they had all those things made in practical effects and ready to go before the studio told them to do it in cgi to show off the new tech. You can see behind the scenes where they show off some of the real things.

So I’m stretching the term “nature” here because when I was posting this I actually completely forgot about real natural clay by rivers. You can also get workable clay from any large amount of sand over dirt that’s gotten wet enough times. The water pulls silica out of the sand and into the earth over time, then you can wash it to get the extra crap out, decant off the water, dry the slip, and boom clay.
Some of the best clay I’ve used came from under an old school playground.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
Ceramics is stupidly cheap to get into. All the tools can be replaced with your hands and a needle, finding workable clay in nature is stupidly easy if you know what to look for and even the garbage clay can be made usable. Most ceramic shops let you rent a shelf on the kiln for like $5. Your first ceramic statue is literally 2 hours of research and $5 away no matter where you are in the world.

Honestly, wotc has been up to some shadey shit for years. Buy your cards in the secondary markets and proxy the shit out of your decks. The best thing we could do for the game is run the company into the ground.

I’ve already installed it and it runs so great! They’ve only got most of ts1 and I was a future perfect boy so I’m still waiting for my nostalgia, but the gameplay is exactly what I remember and it feels so damn nice.
