People who read (or write!) Disco Elysium fics written in the game's style! Do you prefer it when it's only the skill names or skill name + difficulty
so
A) SHIVERS – dialogue here
or
B) SHIVERS [Challenging:Success] – dialogue here
#I don't mind just skill#But I really like skill plus difficulty#I also like the use of bold to indicate which option is being “chosen” when applicable

the five homoerotic love languages:
- intimate stabbing
- outright obsession
- confused pining
- "no one knows me like you do"
- lifelong promises that always sound suspiciously like wedding vows

I get what you're saying, but like, when I was about 9 I sobbed my brains out for 20 minutes when my fave character in a book died.
If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!
#also I was that asshole who's reading level was way above typical for my age#so I was reading books above my “grade level” once I was allowed to#yes this is a weird brag

One-volume binding of Shimeji Simulation, one of my favorite mangas of all time. Folio size, Polar Duo, metallic silver HTV + case (with a little hole so you can see the girls being tender together 💙)
I made this one for a friend who mentioned that he'd be interested in reading the manga, but preferred to read manga in physical form. There's no licensed English translation OR print run of this, so I decided to make my own - I downloaded the Orchesc/a/ns translation/scan on MangaDex, compiled it all into a single volume, and reversed the PDF page order before imposing it into signature-form, so it can be read right-to-left, as intended! The edge art is hand-drawn by me, meant to mimic those geometric doodles that show up throughout the story. Hand-sewn headbands, to pull it together! And a little mushroom + fish charm bookmark, because OBVIOUSLY!
Fun fact: this is the first book I've ever bound that's been too chunky to fit in my home guillotine. It was nearly too big for my bookpress, too - but only nearly.

Pre-emptive apologies for manifesting more Trant-posting into the world and accelerating our collective entroponetic demise, but I need to share yesterday's Discord findings with @renmorris and @mindblownie
1. in Trant's pyrholidon slip-up, he tells Harry that his story shouldn't be hard to guess in a way that I think can be read as both "cops and addiction, you know perfectly well how that goes" and "dude you know me, personally, we did them drugs together"
2. this opens the possibility of Harry and Trant watching the fringe art house movies together while high on pyrholidon. At any rate, Having Opinions About Art is Trant's thing and also an established old Harry trait
3. as it were, we also know where that established old Harry trait comes from. oh yes we do. it comes from Dora. literally her job.
4. this in turn manifests the vanishingly implausible (but hilarious) chance that Harry's unnamed friend whom he was discussing entroponetics with as Dora smoked nearby may have been none other than Trant. Like he was her art acquaintance to begin with and that's how he got roped into the 41st.
THEREFORE: Harry got Trant in the divorce. thanks for coming to our TED talk
#LOL I love Trant so much#I just did the section where you meet him and talk about the Wompty-Dompty-Dom center#and how even Harrier “I talk to my necktie” Du Bois is like UH. No way is there a place called the Wompty-Dompty-Dom#It's one of my fave sections of the game
