@yareyaredaze We've got a guy in marketing who's trying to sell postal stamps to cats. We're pairing you up with him.
@yareyaredaze You don't even know. You're the eighth big gay baby we hired and we don't even have a product yet.
@yareyaredaze (oh no what have I done)
@Elizafox u r a cool.
@yareyaredaze *drops clipboard* You're hired.
@Elizafox I'm feeling that you didn't win that one.
@Elizafox Have you tried?
@yareyaredaze That's a pretty impressive resume. We could use someone with that particular set of skills.
fuck i called it a tweet im a degenerate
Hello World. :earth_americas: Show more
@toooldforfandom awww yes. BioWare knows what we're all really here for.
Also cool. I think I needed to hold off playing too much until all the noise on the internet died down. I was having trouble playing without the lens of "is this good? are people right? are they wrong?" I want to enjoy it for how I feel.
@SuzanEraslan The perfect ending to a good speech.
@toooldforfandom :D I'm excited.
Also ready for the flirts.
@SuzanEraslan This is the kind of mentality I am trying to unlearn.
People... you can be so much happier when you stop confusing "personal brand," the size of your "reach," and the quantity of your received "impressions" with yourselves, and if Mastodon doesn't allow you to successfully port over your social currency, then maybe that's not a bug, maybe it's a DAMN FEATURE. #metadon
And 2. Why on earth would you be the same in every instance? Is your behavior the same in every circumstance, despite the setting and the social mores that dictate that particular social dynamic? Then why wouldn't you be some of your complete, authentic, entirely portable identity in one space and some of it in another?
1. How is your identity not portable? You are always you... unless, of course, what you mean is that you lose the social currency you have built up by curating your posts to create a personal brand and a great deal of followers, in which case I have to ask-- why are you here and not just over on the birdcage or Instagram where that shit is expected and rewarded?
I keep seeing a lot of #metadon discussion about how, if you change instances, you lose the "identity" you've built up on the instance that you were on and that's a problem because your identity should be portable... which leads me to two questions:
Okay, my new Mastodon instance is live! Since @Mus made https://oulipo.social where you can't post the letter 'e', I am proud to announce:
DOLPHIN TOWN!
https://dolphin.town
A Mastodon instance where you can only say the letter "e". Follow me there! I'm @e
@toooldforfandom I haven't had a chance to play past Eos yet. How are you enjoying the side content? I'm a little worried it's gonna be a DA:I situation where a lot of the side content felt empty (compared to juicy main plot goodness).
