I am not sure if you even keep playing games like that but often it’s those ones that end up having to get returned. Which is such a bummer, because it so easily could be solved. Most times when you reach out to the company though (or devs, which ever) unless it’s a really small team they will typically ignore your requests. Any time I have had accessibility requests, without hesitation smaller teams have implemented them almost immediately. Likewise they’ve asked if there is anything else that I might need. I know we’re getting better at accommodating people, but there are still people who believe you can just “get gud” and work through these problems. When in actuality, they game-ending experiences. Which really sucks. Thanks for sharing by the by =)

I sadly have little interest in watching things about Hades as because I am so burnt out from asking for accessibility assistance (I actually think I did it multiple times in case they didn’t catch it) and I am just frustrated with them as a whole and this post reignited it. But I am glad that they got what they wanted because Greek mythology is expansive. I think someone else will be happy about it. I just think I realized I feel relatively “done” with the company as a whole =/!

My partner has a rare type of colorblindness that makes certain comfy games completely unplayable. I wanna scream at the screen, because I wish that it were easier in this life to make things more accessible for all people in general. I sit in the same camp with you, the more the merrier when it comes to support. I get sad when I open a game, and I see nothing (cause the first thing I do is always check the options). I tend to not buy games with certain things like flashy effects, qtes, or a need for fast reflects. As you can tell, I’m not PVE-er =P!

To be honest, I get what you’re saying here although I’ve played all their games. I think of the bunch I disliked Bastion the most. It felt like an empty PSX game. I liked Transistor, but the catch is that it needed to be played pretty much surrounding their pause-the-battle technique which was okay but it really kind of sucks to me whenever I have any game use this technique. I would have much rather it had been a full turn-based game. I like turn-based games though. There is some viking game that plays like a janky-table top where it’s semi-turnbased and it was absolutely awful for it.

Mind you, I like Transistor due to its story. Which I think is the same reason why I liked Pyre. The setting, it was quite nice and if I could remove the mini-games from the game I would. Hades, I liked because they took characters the size of tic-tacs and turned them into three-dimensional beings. That was quite nice. They played on a lot of anime tropes. The gameplay was good, but it was a bit too challenging for me. I dropped it relatively early due to this. I pretty much sit in the same camp now. I wondered if maybe I had aged out of their target audience but I will probably never play one of their games again. It’s just not my bag.

To be honest, I felt like Hades was like GOOFILY sexual. But I get why it works for most people. I just was like…wut!? People are horny for Hades folks, including my sibby. So like, it works. I just don’t play games for that kind of stuff is all. I also liked their art more when it was air-brushy over the hard comic lines. Which is kind of crazy, because I like comic book art. It’s just like…too much for me. My sibby grabbed Hades 2 and I can’t bring myself to play it.

Also they’re assholes of accessibility. It’s so hard to play Hades because outside of the gauntlets you’ve gotta mash buttons to get through the whole damn thing. I know I am not the only one who’s written to them about this, but they never gave a shit about it. I figured I was pretty much done with them because I have had such positive responses from so many indie developers on accessibility options. Which I think to be absolutely honest, should be a standard for games with larger budgets. Which they for sure had, as far as indie games go. eh.

That was a rant and a half.

To be honest, I think they only made a sequel to Hades because it was so popular. I actually quite like that they create new universes every game. I also like the core gameplay of Pyre (not so much the mini-games) unlike most people. It sort of feels like Ballmasterz turned into a super cereal game to me. It probably inspired the show, which ever came first.

Hey there! I got it working. We’re about to shovel a pound of food into our mouths and then go on an adventure! The missus felt awful after her errands yesterday, so we just kinda chilled out. I still like little adventures though, as I think they’re the spice of life. Picking a place on the map and going there, and then regretting picking a place on the map and just going there because you’re ill prepared for whatever is happening “there” =P! Hehehehe! I just love that mystique, even if I come out with scratches and said pound of food turned into a pound of sweat =P!

My partner is starting a business with a friend and it revolves around 3D Printing which they’re gaga for. I get the utility of it, and I love craftsmanship in all forms. I feel conflicted because I freakin’ HATE plastic. I mean, get it out of here! Just get it gone. I know there are some solutions one can do to alter their impact, but as usual the cheapest and most easily replicated solution seems to be the one on the table. I’m not one to squash hopes, dreams or anything like that. We don’t sit in opposite camps, but we do have different feelings towards certain things. I think if it’s something that interests her and she wants to pursue it, I can’t stop her. I don’t like the material though, as a whole. I wish we’d hurry up as a people and find better solutions for wide-spread management of materials.

Ah, yes! Me too! I will actually take some pictures every now and then for my own records. My camera isn’t good, but for the longest it was worse and I still look fondly back at those picture so I don’t really care. I figure as long as they invoke a memory, the rest is really irrelevant. I think you can see I’m no photographer =P! I often see people walking around with their lenses the size of my arm and I ask them about what they’ve shot that day or whatever. I am envious because it seems so lovely to be able to walk around and capture these little moments in nature that would otherwise go unnoticed (because they tend to be something human eyes can’t capture). My grandfather was a lovely photographer, he’d go to botanical gardens and capture these beautiful pictures. Sometimes I feel like I am doing his memory dirty by not picking up the torch, but to be honest two gals on a trail is already a target enough for bad actors. I wish I was joking, but it’s just the world we live in. I keep it light, but always bring little snacks and water for the both of us. Especially my gal, who gets cranky if she gets hungry =P!

It’s always important to remove meta-data because like I said up there, we just live in a different kind of world. Folks, whether for good or for evil, can be nosey nellies. I actually really loved the pictures, because they conveyed something very tangible. My instance is abstract, and it’s harder to grasp the overall concept. I thought, I could sketch it out for you, but figured it wasn’t really worth the venture, as ultimately the utility was the most important part of its existence.

I grew up with little guidance, as to be honest with you black schools are fucking horrible. I mean they tried their best but the budgets were just not there. There were a lot of kids to classrooms, and a lot of classrooms split into two in order to sustain them. I often think of how dirty America plays with their educational system. I am so bizarrely thankful that I have always loved books. If I didn’t have libraries to go to (school x local) I think I would have been absolutely screwed. Finding my way to forums, and founding one when I was younger really helped too. My father had a computer, and when he slept I could sneak out and do whatever I wanted. Which was apparently to geek out with a bunch of Europeans. Which I kind of feel like a return to form here, because in general it seems that Europeans are far more worried about the ethics of technology than Americans. Le sigh~

I have a health issue that can seize up my hands some times, which actually is why I need that control. I have lost a bit of my faculties in general, and it makes me sad. My sibby has is too, and we’re both artist and it’s affected us both in profound ways. I’m doing okay right now, as I’m taking some fun-timey experimental medication for it. The window for it is only up to two years though, and to be absolutely honest I am terrified of what’s going to happen when I can’t take it anymore. Just because in a way losing your ability to control your hands really dampens even the simplest of things. I have a great partner, but I want to be able to do what I want, when I want it. That’s the thing that frustrates me the most.

Eeak, she’s calling me I’ve got to go! But I was gunna say - I learned the destruction of my precious things from a gal I had a crush on in high-school and the damn thing never left my brain. She was Mexican-American (she became a famous singer, down there - get out!) and she would burn every damn thing she didn’t want anymore that was personal. Basically she romanticized it, and I romanticized her so in my brain it feels right to let go of things in some grand and destructive gesture.

Okay, gtg! Be well and talk soon hopefully! Thank you for everything by the by. I read along, agreed, hummed, made footnotes and the works! Just gotta run!

p.s. - People so often dyed their black hair that I actually didn’t know it faded the way it does =P! CHEERS!!

p.p.s. - Got on the forum =)

I don’t know why but it’s bugged out when I try to edit this post. Maybe it’s too long? Idk. But I am reporting back and I got it to work! Success!

Yes, I hate the way that people in media thought they could empower women by creating absolutely moronic and attractive male characters that they could sexually harass. Like, what!? That’s not the way! I think people in general need more support because we’ve sort of nullified the way support networks used to exist.

I’ve never had that problem myself either. I took a break there for quite some time with my gaming but I did grow up with it, and I have returned to it. I can’t think of a time when I have played a game - even a story based one, and liked it and haven’t returned to it at least once more. I think I’ve noticed though, I am kind of a gaming minority. I think the funniest thing I can say about games is that back when I played with a big rowdy group of guys a game would last however long it lasted because the guys would fight and swap for whoever was controlling the character and we’d play that shit into the ground regardless of how long a game was. The last system I had was a PS2, so idk but I knew a lot of complaints started coming out PS3 era. Snap even was a game that we played like crazy. I had a friend who had a N64, and Pokemon was so hot! And we’d all just sit there and see if we could do “perfect” runs even though it was pretty much the same game over and over again.

Speaking of trends, I mean I guess these things have always existed but I think the PS3 began the genre my girlfriend lovingly describes as “penis games” which have hyper-masculine protagonist smashing the shit out of everything with dynamic lighting. I don’t mean to offend anyone with this, but the trend is still here (I am just guessing it’s Unreal graphics). I know it existed before the PS3, but it really took off then and was part of what actually turned me off of gaming as a whole.

It’s quite funny that Strange Scaffolding seems to embrace uncertainty with er…uncertainty. As in, they keep things explicitly contract based in order to keep people from expending too much time and energy into a singular project. I’ve always thought of contract work as something rockier due to taxes, benefits, etc. I think though, they’re just ahead of the curb and if they’re successful enough more power to them. Clearly something is a bit amiss though, if the head of the place can’t afford a ticket to GDC. I do like however, that they showed up to socialize regardless. Which is pretty much the main reason to show up to one of these anyways.

I also remember when people would constantly say that games were too short. I didn’t play them at the time, but there was a period when everyone was complaining about waiting for a long time for games - paying a lot for a game, and then finishing it in 5-7 hours and never playing it again.

No worries, as you can see I love seas of text. I’m a conversationalist, and some of my best moments have been just sitting and talking with folks of all kinds. So eh, I’m loving it =)!

My grandfather he did calligraphy. It was something he picked up in the military, and he kept it with him always. He actually journaled regularly, He told me to pick up the habit, and it’s actually why I do it. I don’t know if he’d agree with my chaotic manner, but I think he’d be happy that I do it at all. I never looked at his journals, because I think looking at people’s personal stuff is rude unless you’ve got explicit permission. I have heard though, from my mother after his passing that they were practically like records.

Many moons ago I went to school with a bunch of Brazilians and I thank god for their awesomeness! A lot of folk I knew explicitly used pencil sharpeners. They were on the walls of every school I saw. Electric ones in every office. I didn’t even know you could pull out a knife and sharpen them, although if you really think about it - of course you can! The Brazilians kept their pencils in tin cases (something I absolutely love to do nowadays), and sharpened them with box-cutters and it gave me that “aha!” moment and made my life! I like that you cut to the chase, and remove the plastic element. I think I might lean into that too, as I am always trying to think of ways to be a more sustainable individual.

Yeah, apologies! I don’t take a lot of pictures anymore, because I think phones are creepy fucks. My mother is getting older and she can’t/won’t learn new things. She loves Apple, and I can’t get her to migrate to anything else so I keep a very old (It’s pretty much an Iphone 5) phone around to stay in touch with her. I just don’t agree with any mega-corporations privacy policies, and so I just decided to pretty much not use my phone unless I am talking/texting with someone I love. It’s nice because I never pull the sucker out in public. It’s bad because I have stopped visually recording my life in many ways. Yet, I still can’t justify an external camera because I just don’t think I’d use it enough to keep it. I’m a little mama (as in, I am short and tiny) so when I go into nature, I am not looking to carry something around that can leave me vulnerable. Which kinda scratches that off the list as well. I know most hikers are nice, but that’s er…most of them, not all. Eh! People pick victims they know they can take advantage of, and I think a sizeable pre-teen could take me so eh =P!

Quite nice! Hahaha! My secret was that I wanted something I could balance on one knee and be able to draw on without much fuss. I’ve got a new pad of paper, I think I should start considering making a new guy to take around. You’ve got me having the itch for it =)! I always cover my things in fabric, because I like to pick out beautiful patterns and utilize them. I also like the soft texture when you grab it. The geeky little stealthy individual in me also likes that people can’t really identify what they hey I am holding right off the bat. I really like your design by the by! Looking at that spine “wow-ed” me! It’s ingenious! The way I allowed for less/more depth is by sewing a “travel” piece of cloth between the two boards I had. That way if I wanted to add a bit more paper, I could and it had some give, but otherwise the front overlapped the back by just a bit. Not too much, because paper isn’t the thickest but I am sure you get the idea!

I have a poor technique when drawing. I wish I didn’t. I even trained not to, my hand just NEEDS to touch the paper, I am not sure if it’s for stabilization, or what. It’s kind of how I have always worked (I have been drawing since I was a tiny little bean) and it’s how I am the most comfortable. It drives my partner crazy, because she uses those old masters style of pencil holding (where you hold it by the end) and never touches the paper outside of setting it. So she’ll be really loose on the hold, and here I am like a little gremlin hunched over (I know it’s bad for the back, but I love feeling “captivated” and this is a part of the process, I am totally going to have a hunch when I am an old lady =P!) and choking the pencil. I feel sort of like a printer, that is jumping all over the place in one area and printing out bits of an image line by line. But damned if that doesn’t bite me in the ass if I smudge. I know smarter folks use a piece of paper as a barrier between, but I guess I am not smarter folks because I never seem to learn my lesson =P! I just integrate oopsies into my drawings like tattoo artist do cover ups. I stare at those beautifully thin and gliding pen tips (with that liquidy ink) and I run in terror of them. Just because I have such a messy technique =P! I have trouble controlling them, and a cheap and fat ballpoint does me better than a loose and quick tip because there’s still a bit of grip. The friction gives you time to sort of think of where you’re going next, and I need that thinking power honestly. I think it might literally be the difference between a second (I just mimed it), but it really does make a difference to me.

Which is quite funny, because digitally I use nibs for art =P! But everything glides digitally, so there it’s more so a matter of point.

I have never heard of Zettelkasten, no lie! I think index cards for journaling is quite awesome though! I had thought about it after hearing about my grandfather’s passing because they were trying to figure out what to do with his scores of journals. I wondered if there were a process you could follow that could be both neat and compact and that was the system I came up with. I am so apprehensive of digital records for a multitude of reasons. I think it’d clearly be the winner here, but I think it loses both privacy and comfort. I am going to read more about this technique you use, it sounds really interesting. I know this is going to sound psychotic, but when I am done with one of my notebooks, I cannibalize it with a knife until it’s little bits and then toss it. Which, probably isn’t the best solution for keeping records. Especially because I fill them with not only my feelings but ideas and comments. In a perfect world I’d set them on fire, but it seems dangerous nowadays to do so. I see it as sort of a letting go process, but I should probably look into ways to keep the ideas | records separate from the | raw stuff =P!

My friend who bu-jos by the by indexes everything. She’s so freakin’ brilliant she blows my mind on the regular.

I am in flux, I am old stuff and new stuff all the same. There is an artist I once heard who described herself as “I never knew I was old, until I went to the doctors and they told me I was.” I think I might always be that way. I’m a firecracker by birth, and I think even if I am hobbling around in a rambler or something I will probably still be one. I come from some proud people, and I think there’s just a little warrior spirit in my bones. Catch is I see myself slowing down, health issues tackled like they aimed to maim and the hair is no longer a pure beautiful raven black like it used to be =P!

People have always fascinated me, so I have taken in all kinds of interests (media I suppose is what I am talking about here generally) and tucked them away into folds of myself. I like it because most things that I like tend to have a reason, as in a story that I can associate them with that typically ties to a person. I figure that way even if they’re out of your life (for whatever reason) you can always bring them with you. And personally, I think appreciation of one’s spirit is perhaps the highest compliment you can send to someone =P! Even if they don’t know it. That is to say, Harvey is one of those things, but I really do enjoy the flick and I hope (guys?) do as well =)!

Oh yeah, no okay so umm goofabout talk here on the television thing. My partner NEEDS television in her life, I need television away from my life. As in, I cannot think with it in the room, or at least that’s sort of how it’s been for me. I have gotten used to it, but it still sort of hurts to be honest. I think there’s an evil curse that actual televisions cast into the air. I know it sounds woo-woo but they just change the dynamic of a room. I actually welcome them in hospitals and what not, even if it’s garbage on because I don’t really mess with my phone so instead I just kind of sit around doing nothing for however long it takes (which sometimes can be hours). I tried to get her to meet me on this, but realized she just NEEDS a television in order to function. I really wish I were joking, but it’s just how it is for her. So I’ve invited them back into my life. But also, even when I didn’t have one I like media, just in a way that I can control it. So if a buddy recommends something, or if it’s something that I am interested in I will watch it. I had a friend (we’ve gone different ways just because of life) who was a stand-up comedian. He loved, loved, loved Bojack Horseman, so I gave it a go. To be honest it’s pretty freakin’ depressing and destructive and not totally my bag. There is a character on it who is eternally upbeat but is also a bit of an airhead. I sadly identify about ten folds with his existence and told my friend as such, because he told me he identified with Bojack. While I love positivity, I do recognize that toxic positivity not only ostracizes but also kills. So I think it’s good to see the positives but also hold space for others (and all the emotions). Cause otherwise positivity can run everyone and everything out of the room.

My partner had to go do some errands, so I am waiting for her to come back before we go on our little adventure. I’m glad I got this time to respond to you =)! I will look into how to join this instance (?yet again, is it called that? Idk?) and report back! Be well!

Hehe! Hey! I’m a sleepy one, so I might respond with more goob than usual. I like to use these natural wooden pencils to draw and write with. For the longest I would only allow myself to use pens, as I liked the flow of ink (ballpoint sans gel so I guess I would hate monte blanc stuff cause I heard it’s buttery smooth) and I wanted to fight my perfectionist tendencies by taking away the ability to erase things. I’m much happier now after years of training doing stuff like that, but revisitng pencils felt like meeting up with an old friend. I like that with a single pencil and some mindful technique you can do quite a variety of work. The pencils came with the sharpener (believe it or not) and I figured might as well have a meet b. Before I was hacking at stuff with an xacto like an animal. Your design is much cleaner and minimalist as compared to mine (although we have parts that meet for sure). I would stick a Japanese style break-off razor on there before I stuck a boxy little sharpener. I think it’d fit the vibe more too. You could always run it across your pants pending they could take it, before putting the knife back after sharpening.

I swear, I started with my design sort of open face sandwich and when I added that flap to enclose the whole thing it all came together and I loved it even more. I like your design, and it probably isn’t that thick, so it is something to consider because it does add girth to the design. Which kindaaa, makes it less portable. I mean not too much, but it did take up more space in my bag, which is just a tiny little sling. All space counts in that situation.

I actually secretly love a mean blunt pencil, it glides really well (I think blunter is? Idk. I am not a word-wizard. I figure as long as you convey the idea, eh!) and it has a pleasurable feeling. I don’t remember how I got a hold of these things when I was younger, but I had a couple of carpenter pencils (I haven’t used them in years, I should give them a go again) and they were blunt as the days are long and damned if I don’t miss that feeling so I totally get it if you’re just highlighting stuff with it. The reason why I need that mean sharp point is because I like to doodle little fine details and they’re hard to get without something you could spear a fish with.

I totally want to join this journaling er…instance? I just literally don’t know how and my brain is too sleepy-dumb to figure it out. I journal on the regular, in a half-composition book because I am fancy like that. I have a friend who bu-jos like a boss. I gave it a go and realized I need my journal to be sloppy, because I want it to hold space for me. As in, if I am regulating heavily (which I think bullet journals are) then I am afraid that I will BE afraid to put the things I am honestly thinking and feeling on to the paper and hence will not get the things I need to get out, out. I think if I make it more of a organized reflective process it might just become the flossing of writing and I just don’t think I need that in my life personally. However, it’s damn near impossible for me to find the things that I have sprawled out on the pages like the organized folks do. So you know, it’s more of a splatter piece and that does have its downsides as well.

If you do know how I can join this via piefed, I am absolutely there. Or anyone else, or I will give the docs a lookie loo tomorrow-ish? Sometime soon, depending on plans =)!

I love Muttley, he’s such an ass! Hahahaha! I mean, idk if you’re an ass - you don’t seem it, but damned if that guy isn’t a little cheeky bastard. Speaking of cheeky bastards, have you ever seen the movie Harvey? Cause it sounds like you might like Trickster characters, and while it’s got some bits of its age I absolutely love this film. I showed it to my gal, who hates “old stuff” and she ended up bewitched by it and just knowing that puts a smile on my face. To be honest, and I feel so damned ashamed saying this - I think if I were translated into a cartoon character I’d end up being like Mr. Peanut Butter from Bojack. I had a friend who was obsessed with the show and I told him as such and he actually agreed. Bubble headed or not. Eh!

Either way, it’s been an incredible pleasure to have “met” you and regardless of if we can figure out the link thing or not I thank you very much for all this fun conversation =)!

I am going to check this out. If you are interested in a modern fantastic tower defense that (also) doesn’t break the mold check out Bella Wants Blood. It’s very cute, and I hear her say “STANNNLEEEYYY” whenever I think about it.

You and me, we’re best friends now. You get Earthbound. I love you. It’s one of my favorite games forever-ever. Got it at Blockbuster used for $5. Best $5 spent ever. While I personally hate the skinnerbox effect of achievements, I love this damn game. I also love your excitement to play it again. Tell me your other favorites =)

You freakin’ genius! I have been thinking of how to get a door in, cause the place we’re at right now is an odd spot and there were about fifty doors in this place at one point and they decided to remove all but the bedroom (which isn’t even sized right). Since it’s not our place, I told my gal I’m not interested in tossing a sea of cash at it seeing as we’ll probably be out the door right after we get everything set-up. I have a couple large boxes and I was thinking of how to integrate them to make a door without making it look like a shanty house or something. I think with those plastic screws I saw on here we could create a faux-door and get it installed in the one area I really would prefer to have one, just for a smidgen of privacy. Thank you!

Hahahaha, you’ve got me cracking up here! Apologies for the assumption! I love the creativity though, seriously!

Oh yeah, no worries and thanks back! The little suckers can get stuck in anything, so I pretty much just try to keep them from killing themselves =P! Their cuteness and love helps. Hahahaha! We craft so damn much for them. I swear 1/2 our brain is forever occupied by their happiness. We like to take sand, rocks, rice and beans and put them together for some solid and crazy digging. Dirt is too dirty, and ends up getting all over the place. We’ve gone ham with the ping-pong balls. Better ones are those little golf balls with the holes in them, the practice ones. Cause they can be lifted and carried around like prey. It’s pretty awesome to watch. I take scraps of clothing and fill em up and sew them into little sack guys and let them carry them around everywhere. I am seriously going to start saving the rolls though and turn them into something cool thanks to you. I was just recycling them with a shrug, my brain was not being creative enough =P!

Aww man, I hear that on studying horticulture. One of the coolest people I have met in my entire life (passionate) was a horticulture instructor. I don’t get why we give what we give more pay than other things. It’s an incredibly skilled position that can be laborious on the mind and the body. I have a friend who is absolutely brilliant, but an anthropologist and hot damn she gets paid absolute dirt. I really love the sprouting thing though, seriously!

As for the egg carton walls, that would make a lot of sense. It makes me want to go back in time and grab this porch full of egg cartons I saw someone have when I lived in a rural space. I don’t know why they were saving them (it was seriously like five feet of cartons stacked) but perhaps they were using them for something and just kept them outside until it was time to have at them.

Aww man, Frozen addiction is a real thing! Hahaha! I have seen it. I have heard from other mothers that one of the nicest/most profound moments of their motherhood is seeing young girls unite in song together, and the joy they feel in sharing the moment. I don’t have any kids, but I often think about how I never fed my dog “people food” and then one time my dad met her and slipped her McDonalds fries ad it was game over after that. I think you’ve gotta balance things really tightly nowadays. On one hand, you can keep your kid sheltered from media but it sort of ostracizes them socially. On the other hand you allow your kid freedom to zombie out on media and their brain kind of rots. It’s really rough, I don’t do it but I have a couple of friends who have youngins (surprising way less than you’d imagine) and I have seen some scary effects of too much screen time/processed foods.

To be honest, one of the biggest things I lament personally is that I have had to learn pretty much ever skill I have by myself. By that I mean, I had to study relatively solo to gain any knowledge I had. I had pretty absent parents, which I think has sort of made everything a bit more difficult than it has needed to be as a whole. Sorry if that was heavy, but I swear it relates to what I want to say. Which is that when you teach your daughter skills, even if she isn’t actively participating but instead watching and witnessing your process - I think these things stay with you for life. I also think learning skills early is really important, because even if you’re not terribly interested in them (although it sounds like she loves the results so she probably is) you can carry them with you for life. Sewing is one of those skills that I think a lot of us have forgotten and it’s incredibly useful for a multitude of things. Perhaps even the most useful for the abstract knowledge of knowing that if something breaks, you can probably fix it. Likewise that if you want something, you can probably create it with enough thought and know-how. At one point, I was working with a lot of youth, and they severely lacked in an understanding of both of these things and I think it gives your daughter some secret knowledge that links us to the root of what makes humans, human (ingenuity) =P!

Eh! I’ve gotta say, I can tell you love it from here by the by! My sis(ter from another mister) just had a little girl. The happiness and love overflows and fills my heart, and this kind of stuff is why I think some folks need hugs over anti-natalist pamphlets =P!

Either way sis, keep being you. By that I mean awesome! Seriously, we need more light in this world, so keep spreading it =)! Mental hugs, and I hope to see you around here =)

Back at you =) <3!
