I took a puppy with me to pick black raspberries and at first she was NOT into it

But then her little puppy brain did the food math after I put one of the berries in my mouth

… then it was a race to see who could get the berries faster.

#she was not a very discerning picker #a lot of leaves and unripe berries were lost to her maw #text post #bups #black raspberry #fruit picking #pet shenanigans #los-plantalones

Madeline gained so much nerd influence from studying science and doing trivia challenges that she gained the easily impressed trait!

@ gamedevs, the discourse has painted "make your game more accessible" as "make your game easy", and i can prove to you we actually don't mean that. play your game drunk, or eating with a hand and playing with the other, or fucking jacking off idgaf, not fifteen minutes of it, i want at least four hours of game time that you're distracted and only using one hand. now take note of the mistakes you're angry about still- you're not mad because there wasn't an easier boss, you're mad because you couldn't reach a button to hit him fast enough, or because you couldn't read the scrolling text fast enough and didn't know what to do, or that an accidental click discarded an item you needed immediately. you aren't upset about difficulty, you're upset there wasn't a way an issue could be circumvented or fixed when you couldn't do what "normal" people could do. that's fine, that will happen with really anything when you're disabled, but most people eventually will become disabled, and if you want people to still enjoy the game, you're going to need to add ways to slow down rapid sections or change the speed of text scroll or ask for confirmation before an item's discarded so you don't lose things you've worked for. that would be what people are asking for, not "make the main boss a lower level so i can beat him", his level doesn't matter if dodging always necessitates using a button you can't reach and the devs haven't added options to change which button does that, for eg. personally, i have hand spasms, and when you can fuck up with literally one click, in a way that still affects you hours later or will waste hours of work or so forth, that's an inaccessible game for people like me with nerve damage and muscular issues. when a conversation doesn't have subtitles or they don't match, and the information given is essential, that means i won't know what i've gotta do to progress. these things make playing less enjoyable. i haven't said, at any point, everything has to be accessible to like literally every person- that's impossible. i'm just saying that your misrepresentation of the discourse as "make games easier" just wastes everybody's time, but you can distract yourself or hinder yourself to see what playing your game actually is like for those unable to concentrate, hear, see properly, reach things, y'know? again, not just fifteen minutes of looting, long enough to feel an effect when there's a tiny mistake that hurts you going forward.

#like in pokémon x i don't have to play the super fast mode of berry picker to get food to give my pokémon fast is better but not necessary #you can change the speed of text scroll and most of the important decisions will ask if you're sure it's not perfect nothing really can be #like afaik you're kinda stuck with the 3ds rather than having controller options but i could be wrong there and i am too tired to check #point being it really isn't about how strong the enemy trainers are it's about whether progress or joy are trapped behind what you can't do #and i can't just write the difference with some amazing words you just have to play a game in someone else's shoes to see for yourself

At least 2x as much as last time. I didn't wear gloves, my hands are very scratched up

#literally thought about that berry pickers creed post the whole time im ngl #foraging #blackberries

[treecakes]

sorry but like if i never have access to the varieties of blueberries i grew up eating i will never have blueberries again. the varieties they sell in stores are so bland :(

#random heirloom varieties of blueberries my beloveds….. #i will be sad when i cannot have them again #also blueberries are expensive!!! #which makes sense. they’re labour intensive to pick by hand #and really only during the last harvest do bigger farms go in with the mechanical pickers #idk why…. maybe for fear of knocking off blossoms? #but surely the second harvest there’s only green berries to worry about #and those don’t come off unless you pull 🤔

standing with your mom in front of a confounded contraption in an antiques store trying to figure out what the hell it is beats wordle as a mental exercise any day of the week

Threads (A Summer Forage in Eaves Wood)

The sudden appearance of brightness on a late July Friday afternoon prompted another forage.  On the familiar slog up to Heptonstall Road, brambles already ripened.  Eschewing them as polluted, we continued up to find the ridge slopes dominated by bracken and heather, rock-hard apples and only a smattering of bilberry shrubs.  We past a climber limbering up at Hell Hole Rocks onto the twisting…
