If I don’t specify that I want it hot, they give it to me iced. Drives me insane. It’s coffee/ tea/ a latte depending on my mood. Of course I want it hot! It’s a hot goddamn drink by default!

You really have to spell it out and there’s a good chance it’s fucked anyways! I can understand if I order some crazy shit but fuck up a black coffee is just incompetence at it’s finest!
It’s a black coffee… you wouldn’t understand
To my fellow USians, if you go to the UK, don’t ask for “French Vanilla,” even at Starbucks. The term is “Vanilla-Hazelnut”

Maybe next time I go to London I may have a better time there. Just need to figure out what I can wear and/or where I can go without feeling crappy over the longer nights and how it’ll feel more draining for me to stay out.
Wish I could like synths way, way more than I do stuff like electric cars (they fascinate me, but for a totally different reason) and shooter games - hating right now I don’t want to risk being burned out by using my synth and that I might get that more easily. I also need streamers closer to my time zone I don’t find - I wrote something about this in a post; no pressure for people to answer though. I might explore audiobooks from a DRM-free source but I’ve not found something that interests me yet - streamers I like who are active past my recommended bedtime for morning work shifts are still more enjoyable to me even as background noise.
I’ll also need to figure out a way to channel my art commissions or something, considering my last whinge - regret that I don’t want to use any of the commissions anywhere I get because understandably, artists are worried about how others and various platforms will use their work for AI even if I take every preventative measure I can.
On man flashback to when someone was talking about the improvised techno fad er… trend, and said “there’s a reason you don’t see an improvised hip hop thread” I was dying.

Probably not as funny without the context but I just got second breakfast out of it.

Hey, I’ve been wondering, is the art that you mentioned on several previous whinges having been commissioned going to be something just for you to own it and appreciate it because you’re into that stuff and you like to support the arts? Or is there some plan you had for it in the context of a project or something like that? You said it’s expensive so I just assumed it was important to you but it’s emerged as a prevailing theme so I’m curious what your angle on it is?

A bit of both. I’m commissioning character designs I want in media versus what media thinks will fit for everyone. Problem is, since I’m generally allergic to social media, I wouldn’t know where and how I’d want to use it beyond a game dev project I have on hold, if I can be confident that the glazing or other anti-training measure has been at least applied and works. Although by the time I’m ready to resume game dev I want to do 3D modeling myself.
Maybe a Redbubble product I can wear too, perhaps.

It’s the best way for flavor and effect. I don’t have much response to caffeine, not sure if that’s a bad thing, but a brewed coffee with a couple of espresso shots dumped into it gets any errand accomplished.

Not all tea, just the tea that deserves it.

My first experience in England, Exeter, when I was 12 years old:
— [something] some tea?
— yes, sure
(I get some disgusting Ceylan tea, think Lipton Yellow)
— [something] milk in your tea?
— oh no
(I get served some milk in the tea)
— [something] sugar?
— yes
(no sugar)
The thing was the foulest disgusting thing I had ever put in my mouth.
That’s when I figured that this French/English thing is not over yet.

If I made you a cup of tea you’d fucking love it.

Ouch! Had the similar happen in my late teens when somehow my girlfriend of the time flung a cassette case at me and the corner scratched my eye.
Applying cream to your own damaged eye is not a great experience.
Mend well, shigginpit x

Cheers man, it happened when I was a kid so I’m fine now, but I appreciate that. My face is also back to normal from the tablet incident although I still feel a bit tender around the kisser. I’m just lucky that it didn’t drop straight onto a tooth or something because the dentist is a place I do not love.

At this point, I just drink black coffee all day to keep the headaches away.
