#THE UNDERCUT HELLO

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

listen idk if there's anything here but Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) 🤝 The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years). you know how Patrick has said in interviews before that Pete sings in a way because he sings through him? yeah Wilson and Kintsugi Kid are both laced with so much insecurity it makes me insane. like I love Wilson so so much I consider it, tongue in cheek, kind of my theme song bc it's like "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color" and I have a running bit with my irl friends about how much black I wear but ever time I listen to it I can't help thinking how insane it is knowing how they write songs. like imagine writing the words "I hate all my friends but I miss the days when I pretended with you" and sending that to your best friend of 20 years. INSANE. "if i could get my shit together I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again" 🤝 "I spent ten years in a bit of chemical haze and I miss the way I felt nothing". like there's almost a nihilism to both songs, they're almost confessional. it's about being aware of your worst parts and either sort of poking fun at them so the honesty could be overlooked (which Wilson does imo) or looking at them with a clear understanding that this is inside you even though you've grown (Kintsugi Kid). idk I can't stop thinking about it though idk if there's anything to this but I'm seeing it even if there isn't

#and of course the slightly bitter flippant confession is undercut in kintsugi kid by the fact that the song ends with pete's kid #like... hello??? growth??? #Lu rambles #music #fob #fall out boy #meta finding tag

I have a desire to draw the nordics, and make them a little more bearable to look at

at night I get good emotional or bad emotional and tonight it's good emotional, I look back at all of the progress I've made in expressing myself (physically ie hair and clothing) and how I'm not confined to gendered or religious stereotypes anymore or what anyone thinks of me and it makes me ❤️❤️ like I did that. I fucking did that. This was quite literally my biggest life hurdle and I got over it. anne a year ago is shitting bricks

#even music taste. i remember being like 10 and I'd listen to rock/metal behind my parents' backs (who only listened to Christian) and #i felt like something was wrong w me for liking this music. so now when i listen to the very same music now #im healing her. #i just want to give her a big hug she was right all along #apple lady words #and i went from being scared of haircuts to like. shaving my own undercut to maintain it #LIKE HELLO AN UNDERCUT??? #WEARING BLACK EVERYDAY???? #AAUUGHHH!!!!!!!! #i need to sleep #IM JUST HAPPY FOR MYSELF ❤️

To everyone who was waiting at the stage doors after Beetlejuice, you're all better people than I am. Holy shit there was a lot of people and my anxiety was like, "Hey. How important is this signature?" So I left to catch an earlier train back home. I even brought an extra af gold sharpie. But hours of waiting in a crowd of people was not happening.

I'll be content being able to wear my white suit and freshly dyed green hair at an amazing final show. Got my mini handbook (which is so nice 😭) and fancy Playbill, so I'm still happy.

What an incredible final show. Goodbye Broadway indeed.

#Beetlejuice Broadway #Beetlejuice musical #Beetlejuice #Text post #Hello if you happened to see me! #I was kind of hard to miss #White jeans blazer and fancy tie with black button up and a green undercut? #Yeah #I'm extra af #It's fine #A little sad I didn't get an autograph but still #I could feel a panic attack at the amount of people

[paradoxcd]

it’s the way the person who chose the music for tua knew wtf was going on at literally all times

#my dream job is picking perfect bangers for fight scenes #like even like. the swedes and the swedish cover of hello by adele was like #it was the perfect balance of funny/unexpected/wait this is good #i think that is just tua at its best summarized though. it has these comedic beats but they never rly undercut the emotional parts #but also just: playing backstreet boys for a fight scene was huge brained #five fighting himself to dancing with myself #the gala fight to i was made for loving you

[characcoon]

I'm planning on shaving my hair again this week because it has gotten to a good length for donation and to a bad length for my mental stability (long), so idk if I hold onto making the Meet The Artist update with long or short hair lolol

#ive been looking exceptionally hot with long hair BUT #i dont have the patience to deal with long hair. i brush that shit and 2 secs later it's already tangled again #and it's been growing for 2 years because pandemic hello ive only been doing my good ol undercut #but wow do i look hot with longer hair #i look like one of those silver fox grandpas with low ponytails and metallica tees and motorcycles #peak gender #but my short hair is also peak gender #i look like a lesbian and a software company developer at the same time

TL;DR: Steam just made library sharing so much fucking easier and so much fucking better. Instead of login-trading, it's just a simple goddamn invite.

Read this. Really. It's a good read. Because it shows that, full-stop, Valve isn't just doubling down on their stance to make sure that people can and should be able to share their copies of digital goods as easily as they can physical ones, but they're making it better and easier than ever.

But you know how Steam allowed you to, with either friends or family, link accounts with another person to be able to establish an ability to share game libraries with one another? The general gist of Steam Family Sharing was that, with a limit of five people plus you (six in total) on a limit of ten computers total could share account access to willingly mix your libraries. You could play theirs. They could play yours.

This was a huge boon. It was meant to emulate sharing a physical copy of a game. A way to allow children to play games their parents or siblings had bought without having to fork over double the cash to buy it a second game. But it had some major limitations and drawbacks, and was archaic to use.

If a person did not share the same computer, you had to manually log into that computer to give it and the accounts on it access. This wouldn't be a problem if both accounts were used on the same computer, but many households (and astronomically more family and friend groups) had multiple computers, all used by different people.

If that computer, at any point, was hard reset to any point before the sharing occurred, you lost access. And had to do the whole process again. This was also an issue with computer transfers. The whole kit and kaboodle needed to be redone on upgrades. On top of that, the old computer is now just dead weight that you may not realize you have to manually revoke access to.

Putting your account information on another person's computer opens up security issues. They could, intentionally or accidentally, land themselves on your account if the login information was stored. Which could easily lead to purchases or bans you did not want to happen.

If anyone was, at any point, playing any game on their own library, you had no access to their games. Even if it was a totally different game, you had to wait your turn as if waiting for their computer to be freed up to sit at. (Admittedly this is kind of like the "mom said it's my turn on the xbox" meme, but hey, kinda archaic.)

You could not choose whose library you accessed a game from. Not at all. It always prioritized the first library it gained access from, DLC access and multiplayer be damned. If another friend you were accepting games from had more DLC? Too bad.

And yet here we are. Steam Families Beta fixes EVERYTHING about the above issues. By just going through Settings > Interface > client Beta Participation and clicking onto Steam Families Beta? You get:

No more login sharing. No more computer links. You can now choose which person's library you borrowed from. And you can play any other game from someone's library, even while they're in-game. It just needs to be a different game than what they're playing.

Pick five people. Invite them to your family. And now everyone has access to everyone's library. My goddamn library went from 150-ish to almost a goddamn thousand in ten minutes of setup.

Account sharing and password sharing are dirty words that "lose" billions of dollars. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Max. They aren't game storefronts, but they still allow you to access massive libraries and scream like you murdered their firstborns for daring to share your password with your mother after you moved out.

Microsoft tried pushing to demonize and undercut used games sales and borrowed copies of physical games. Remember the first attempt to reveal the Xbox One? People forget, but these vultures tried to make an always online console that checked to see if you were the account that owned the game, even if you had a physical disc, and prevent access to the disc's contents if you weren't the original downloader.

Valve walked the fuck up. Valve tapped the mic. And Valve dropped the fucking thing right onto the ground with one feature's revamp.

About the only issues I can see with this are twofold:

If someone sharing your library gets banned from a game's servers... so do you. No one else in the family does, but the both of you do. This is... rather unpleasant, because banhammers can be dropped quite frequently by mistake. I'd urge Valve to rethink this one, but I see the logic: don't cheat and effectively bite the hand feeding you. Still making me side-eye that, though.

If you leave a family you've joined? You have to wait a YEAR to join a new one. It's to prevent people form jumping ship to another group and screwing over who's in the former one in the process, but a YEAR? OUCH.

Problems aside, though... it's probably the biggest fucking power move I have ever seen a media distributor make in the current economic climate. It's the kind of thing that would let so many new games be available in a way that's easier than ever. Just a few clicks to send or accept an invite, and bam. Permanent access to dozens or even hundreds of new games with so much more freedom than earlier drafts of the system.

It's the kind of thing that slaps you in the face with positivity after so many Ls from the games and media industries. And I'm all the fuck for a W like this.

Oliver is one of my fave avatars

Image Description under cut

[ID: A Magnus Archives comic of Oliver visiting Jon in the hospital. Oliver is a thin, tired-looking Black man with long locs and an undercut wearing an oversized purple cardigan. Jon is a comatose brown man with long, fully gray hair in a hospital bed.

Oliver waves at Jon with a smile and says a little awkwardly, "Um... Hello, Jon. Do you… mind if I call you Jon? I, I mean, you don’t actually know me." He takes off his messenger bag and shrugs wryly, "It’s just, well. 'Archivist.'" The word "Archivist" is written in alternating case and surrounded by eyes.

He smiles nervously while sitting down and says, "It’s so formal, isn’t it? And I do kind of know you…?" He looks down sorrowfully. "Haven’t had much choice, really." He smiles sadly at Jon and says, "Dreams are like that, you know. No matter how lucid you think they are..."

A close-up of Oliver shows his troubled expression, staticky eyes, and the faint black veins across his face as he says, "There’s always that part that just drags you along." We see Jon in bed, and Oliver says pensively, "Guess I don’t need to tell you that. At least, not right now." End ID]
