What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life
Doing what? That is the question. Living for a thousand years and achieving nothing positive in that time span is a waste. A waste of time, space and resources. Human life even if short should achieve something positive. Learn some skills, write, draw , paint, be creative, plant a tree, teach a child. Evolve. You may not have saved the planet but you would leave the earth a wiser person.

The third major revision of the increasingly overwrought tabletop RPG about what if Samus Aran was secretly three to five space gerbils operating a person-sized mech suit is now up.
This is primarily an "expansions and clarifications" type update, with few major structural changes, apart from splitting scenes into multiple types and providing simplified rules for the less critical ones. Those expansions and clarifications are substantial, however, so if you're updating from the previous playtest draft I'd definitely recommend giving the changelog a once-over.
My next steps, in no particular order:
Finish the mech suit upgrades table (there are currently a couple of unfilled slots, and I'd like to bump it up to a full 18 eventually)
Provide some examples of pre-generated space gerbil roles
Discussion of campaign play (including advancement)
Discussion of playing without a GM (possibly including solo play?)
Add a bunch of big stupid random mission tables (needed for both GMless play and hypothetical solo play module)
As always, comments, criticisms, and bizarre rants are welcome. Additionally, this is probably the first major revision of the game where a full end-to-end run is feasible (at least for a one-shot), so if anyone would like to volunteer to run an actual playtest, please drop me a line!
Illustrations by @pencilbrony
Full changelog under the cut:
Space Gerbils Changelog 2023-01-08
Note: all page numbers refer to the PDF version.
Print-and-play token sheet updated with twelve additional papercraft minifigs, courtesy of @pencilbrony

Added two new mech suit upgrades ("Co-pilot Protocols" and "Copy Circuit") (pp. 21–22)
Re-worked "Hyperdrive" upgrade for compatibility with revised critical success rules (below) (p. 22)
Re-worked "Well Maintained" upgrade so that it doesn't require players to keep track of how many times it's been used in each scene; all upgrades are now either "once per scene" or "once per phase" (p. 23)
Added six new proficiencies ("Bodyguard", "Fringe Science", "Machine Empathy", "Motivational Speaker", "Observant" and "Psychic") (pp. 24–26)
Re-worked "Direct Neural Interface" proficiency so that it no longer benefits from cost discounts for pushing yourself (p. 24)

Clarified that Extravehicular Activity task may not be performed if doing so would result in no space gerbils crewing the mech suit (p. 32)
Revised protocol descriptions (p. 34)
Added rules for multitasking (p. 35)
Clarified handling of Fallout Phase when multiple tests were made in preceding Action Phase (p. 37)
Critical success now occurs on any success where the chosen result shows doubles or better, not just double 6s; critical success and complications may now occur on same test (p. 38)
"Lost" complication re-named "Scrambled", and now disallows Reassigning in following Operations Phase (pp. 39–40)
"Delayed" complication re-named "Time Loss" (pp. 39–40)
Subsection on complications and physical threats removed and replaced with more general discussion of interpreting mixed outcomes (p. 41)
Workflow for End Phase simplified; the End Phase now always follows the Fallout Phase, and its triggers no longer depend on what happened in phases prior to the Fallout Phase (p. 42)
Clarified and expanded End Phase triggers, and included a trigger for all space gerbils Stressing Out at the same time (p. 42)
Added explicit rules for recovering Stress and conditions between scenes (p. 42)
"Hazardous" condition re-named "Unsafe" to avoid potential confusion with scene Hazards (p. 44)
Brief discussion of mission structure added to "Running the Game" (p. 47)
Scenes now divided into two types: engagements and interludes (pp. 49–59)
Re-named Mission Clock to Threat Clock (p. 49)

Tag 20-28 | 18/100 hours | 28/08/23
So basically this week I barely studied German, I only did like 2 hours in the entire week and I felt like a total failure to be honest. After careful analysis I realised I needed to re organize my goals, my plan, my study techniques and my mindset so I can make this work out the best possible. At this moment I’m in a stage where I feel like nothing works to help me get back on track but I need to see this as a period of experimentation to help me push forward. So this is my take on how to deal with failure and slumps in progress. (Inspired by selfcare-journey)
⭐️ Identify what’s not working
Personally, what’s keeping me from doing my tasks is the fact that I’m always feeling tired and I have frequent migraines; I have been sleeping less than 6 hours a day because of university and yet I haven’t done as much progress because I’m so tired, I can’t focus and therefore I worked very slowly which left me feeling lazier, very frustrated and unmotivated.
⭐️ Prioritizing health and self care
I think we have all been consumed at some point by the idea of toxic productivity where the one who works the most and sleeps the least is the best one, but ultimately enjoying learning and having quality study time will only be possible if we’re physically and mentally sane.
I feel hesitant to redefine my work hours because I feel guilty when I think of studying less, I’m scared of not meeting deadlines, but I already know that this toxic cycle isn’t working for me so I have to accept that it’s okay if I can’t study 8 hours straight, if I need more breaks than other people and it’s okay if I work slow, if I don’t grasp things quickly, it’s okay to fall behind..because I’m in the process of rewiring how I study and taking my time is better than not doing anything and giving up.
⭐️ Managing energy levels
Along with my horrid sleeping schedule this energy slump is also the result of me not eating throughout the day and then having a huge unhealthy meals later in the day, and it’s really affecting my energy levels. So I need to start keeping hydrated, doing light exercise, eating healthier and more regular meals along with having better sleep hygiene because honestly I feel half dead. I also need to go to a medical check up to figure out what’s the cause of my migraines.
⭐️ Dealing with procrastination
I think lately I really struggle with a sense of discomfort when I study because lately I associate studying with failure and frustration. So I think breaking my task into smaller bits might make it less overwhelming. When I was in therapy I learnt a lot about how to deal with intrusive thoughts and emotions so I will put some of those techniques into practice. I also want to work on self compassion and embracing the idea that even a little progress is a step closer to my goal, I think celebrating those small wins can create a positive cycle of motivation.
⭐️ Improving focus
For this aspect I will go back to the ultra short Pomodoro method. (10-15 min with 2 min break) Force myself to work for a small period of time and give myself a tiny break. It’s a pretty basic technique but the idea of this is to experiment and see how well it works for me, identify for how long I can work until things start to become difficult. I think the best breaks are those that keep you away from your phone, because 5 minutes of social media is a recipe for disaster. So I will try to do things like grab some water, stretch a bit, breathing exercises, clean my bag, walk around the room a bit, doodling, have a snack, so that I keep active but refreshed. I think being in a productive environment like a library or a cafeteria could also help to keep focused.
⭐️ Enjoying learning
Now that I’m coming across more difficult content I tend to get unmotivated, so I think the best strategy is try seeing it like a game, where I don’t focus on the learning outcome but rather focus on the process of understanding, problem solving and overcoming new challenges, perhaps that will make the journey more rewarding.
Reminding one self of why I started and connecting the connecting the content to my interests and real world applications could be really useful in boosting my curiosity and motivation as well.
⭐️ Active learning
My study sessions have turned into something very passive, just doing exercises and checking flashcards has become very boring. I think I need to re-incorporate more active learning techniques like writing in a journal in my target language and talking to native friends more.
Additionally I think I need to readjust my schedule and re organize myself so I can include these changes, track them and check for feedback, but this post is already long enough so I will make a separate one.

Hi, I was just wondering if technical difficulties is abandoned?
I hope you’re doing well!
*drops in after 5 years and 4 months with a technical difficulties chapter update*
*disappears*
Tumblr media
cover art made by @angel-gidget ♡
03/08/23. HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, ALL, LONG LONG LONG TIME, NO SEE. ♡ Can you believe it? When I first published this story (first to tumblr, then to ao3), I had just moved to Japan! When I posted ch. 7, I was still living in Japan, and would stay there for another 7ish months... and in the 5 years and 4 months since posting the last chapter, I have moved to three different cities in the United States and started a Ph.D. program. (I am currently halfway through my PhD program!!!!!) What a wild ride. Also, we lived through the pandemic?! And I bought a house! Over the summer! The market was vicious.
So, then how did I get the inspiration/time/energy/motivation to write Ch. 8, you ask? Marvelous question. I lied down in bed last night to go to sleep "early" and ended up reading an utterly hilarious play-by-play commentary on Bad Books, Good Times of a popular fantasy novel series—and I'm not quite sure what it was about "poorly written books explained by hilariously clever book lovers" but I suddenly had a craving for fanfiction, so I opened up my Books app on my phone, and my eyes fell upon a sudden recommendation for my downloaded copy of technical difficulties. And I thought, "Am I suddenly and weirdly in the mood to jot down some notes to start Ch. 7 right now? By golly, I think I am."
4.5 hours later, I'd written the whole damn thing from scratch on my phone in my Notes app. (Messily! Half-assed! But I wrote all of it down!) I then spent another 6.5 hours today filling in the gaps and "editing." This chapter (and the one that will follow it) has been in my head for more than half a decade, but I just haven't had the space to get it out until now!!
I think one of the most beautiful parts of getting a PhD is how completely it blows your perfectionism tendencies utterly to bits, and one of the really interesting byproducts that has come up in my acdemic writing is just how quickly I can crank out decent-enough writing (skill-building!!). In my case, I think so much of it has to do with just being able to word vomit fairly well while not trying to fix anything until the whole damn thing is basically done. So, I applied that knowledge here! Behold!
This isn't to say that I'll be writing the final chapter anytime soon—I may be on spring break right now and may have had a stroke of Writing Inspiration in the Wild™ last night, but I'm still finishing my last semester of classes and learning advanced Python and working on my milestone paper for my doctoral program and preparing to present at my next conference in June and preparing my proposal for my dissertation next fall. BUT! The important thing is that I will post the last chapter of this story (and all my other stories)! Eventually!! ;)
No BETA for this chapter because I gotta THROW this out onto the internet and get back to coding, so bear with! I may do minor edits for it in the near or distant future. Also, please note that I have not watched any episodes of Miraculous Ladybug after the finale of Season 1, so this fic is very much a ~time capsule~ from the past. If there is any additional lore that might otherwise apply to the plot of this fic, please know that I don't know about it, and I am keeping myself selectively ignorant on all matters of Miraculous Ladybug season 2 and beyond until after I finish this story the way I originally intended. ♡ Woo!
as for, tumblr, sadly, to be honest, I'm never really online anymore! I'll respond to comments here on ao3 ASAP, though. ♡ LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU. ♡♡♡

it's strange. this day, it hurts every year.
to feel this way for someone i didn’t even know and won’t ever have the chance to meet?
however, instead of feeling sad, i choose happiness.
yes, i still have to remember you’re gone forever, and it is not that easy.
but your bright smile motivates me to keep smiling.
your kind personality inspires me to be a better person everyday.
your beautiful songs have reached my heart to the point that i listen to them religiously.
in almost 6 years of being a showa idol fan, i have a lot of great singers i admire. even so, no one can replace you.
april 8th, 1986.
you, an angel, flew up to the skies 37 years ago.
and we, your fans, will continue to honor your memory until the last day of our lives.
love you, yukko! yukko friend forever! 🌟

Please explain byour tagging system I am fascinated
this is so funny and i’m surprised it took so long to happen. okay i have to admit that my emoji thing is. extensive. and i often forget parts of it myself so i will probably make a tag page at some point but for now here is an attempt at a directory. i've used quite a few tags over time so i'll just include the ones i've used in the last month or so.
so first there are basic tags for each type of post;
01 - aesthetic images
02 - art
03 - textposts
04 - longer posts, posts with multiple reblogs included
05 - quotes/prose from any source
06 - polls, tag games, the like
07 - posts in photo format (like memes)
08 - original posts by me
09 - gifsets
10 - web weavings
(also: 💌 - asks)
sometimes a post will have more than one of these but usually not.
then there are emojis for further classification. these are usually themes or subjects. (shoutout to @8pm (i think) for inspiring this whole thing. you've created a monster and thank you for doing so)
🫀 - favorite posts
🎙️ - ramblings by yrs truly
🌱 - silly short textposts
📸 - photography i like (different from 01 for reasons i do not know)
✒️ - quotes/prose specifically from poetry/literature
🔧 - political/current events
🪑 - southern gothic
🩻 - trans/gay coded gore
🏛️ - archaeology & anthropology
🥼 - fashion
🖇️ - mixed-media art + art journaling
❄️ - i don't really know how to describe this one but look through it, you might be able to figure it out
🦴 - dog motifs (+ dogs in general)
🧬 - science
there are also some emojis that correspond to people in my life or my own characters; i tag posts that remind me of them with their emoji. currently those emojis are:
🧿🐦‍⬛🧸🦑🐀🔭⭐️🎸🃏
the 🧿 is me, so those posts are the ones that make me go Oh Me Fr.
AND THEN (im so sorry) there are some themes/aesthetics/subjects/whatever that i assigned phrases to instead of emojis. for some reason. these are:
i love life very much indeed
two moons in the lake
swarms of flies
produce aisle angels
despite despite despite
maybe i’m a fool
love letter to theatre
people are people too
there are also a few descriptive tags that are just one or two words and i think are pretty self-explanatory (religion, corecore, linguistics, gender, people...). fandoms are tagged with the media name as well.
OKAY THATS IT idk why this is so complicated but im glad you asked because i needed a motivator to make one of these anyway. hope this makes some sort of sense.

Platformer 1: Elevator Pitch
Game Title: The Guard of Joseon.
With his country under attack by a powerful unknown force, a young Korean solider must battle and defeat the attackers, swiftly making it to the palace where his King resides, protecting him from the fiercest of the enemy line. Will he make it in time, or will his kingdom be overthrown?
The Guard of Joseon is a 2D PvE platformer game set in the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, the  Joseon Dynasty, which is under brutal attack. The player is in control of Jeong-gyu, a Korean soldier well established within the army ranks, who must fend off the attackers and most importantly, save his king! This game is targeted towards a young adult audience who enjoy platformer combat, and more specifically those who have an appreciation for history and the hardships faced in war times.
The player will be motivated to race against the clock to succeed, picking up upgrades, boosters, and extra rewards along the way. The road to the king’s palace will not be direct, rather there will be multiple routes the player can take, facing off against different enemies along each path.
The controls of the game entail the arrow keys for movement (left is left, right is right), space bar to jump, and mouse-controlled aim of arrows with left-click shoot.
Tumblr media
I have included inspiration photos below:

This is my first prototype for IGB120, in which we were tasked to create a platformer game in GDevelop. Although the platformer genre has a large variety, given the engine and accessible assets, I went for a more traditional 2D platformer that explores different terrains and environments in a linear format. I am not going for a super complex game given the timeframe for this project and being unfamiliar with GDevelop. I believe my goals for this game are achievable, as I want to create a simple yet fun and compelling game that explores typical platformer elements with my own ideas.

After finding my shiny Eevee (now Umbreon) in Goldenrod City (08/09/2019), I decided to try my very first roamer hunt in SoulSilver.
I started this hunt approximately 3 years and 9 months ago.
On May 15th, 2023, I FINALLY FOUND ONE!! Shiny Raikou after 6,734 SRs / 13,467 Seen.
Raikou took a LOT of my patience, sanity and time. It wasn’t even my target (Entei was), but I never gave up. This is my most important hunt of my shiny hunting career, and it goes to show that as long as you keep going for your target it will shine eventually. Numerous shiny hunters inspired me to keep going, especially sonikks on YT, so thank you all very much for motivating me throughout these years! I managed to catch Raikou today and would like to show it off 🧡💛🖤

Welcome to hell mfs!
Image 01: Charlemagne, or “Charles The Great”, is often revered as the sole surviving hero of The Middle Ages. According to The Phantom Time Conspiracy, Charlemagne was not actually real, but rather a piece of political propaganda. Image 02: Charlemagne depicted as Catholic unifier of Medieval Europe and Holy Roman Emperor (Left). Charlemagne statue in St. Peter’s Basilica (Right). Image 03: Surviving physical evidence of Charlemagne includes numerous relics consisting of real bones; However, the relics of Charlemagne are few of the only surviving artifacts from The Middle Ages. Could these relics be forged or fakes? Image 04: After Charlemagne’s death in 814, his body was exhumed multiple times to collect relics and further the political motives of his successors. Image 05: The legend states Charlemagne’s corpse was found seated on a throne with scepter in hand and gospels in lap; However, the body was reburied in a Roman inspired sarcophagus (top) and later in a golden coffin (bottom). Image 06-07: In 1991, German historian Heribert Illig claimed in his book that The Middle Ages never happened, the Julian calendar had been faked, and Charlemagne was fabricated as part of a political conspiracy between Pope Gregory and Otto III to claim the Holy Roman Empire. Image 08: Antipope Gregory. Sneaky much? Image 09: Among proof of his theory, Heribert points out that architecture during The Middle Ages barely changed at all. Image 10: Romanesque Revival Architecture refers to architecture that mimicked Roman style. Could this be because The Middle Ages never happened? What do you guys think of this episode?!
