coprime

I'm making this post so I can add image screenshots and explanations without needing to have large images in a comment. This is specifically in response to OTW claiming that complaints about how feeds can have issues is something for the people relying on those feeds to figure out and fix individually and that it is not an issue-at-large for everyone subscribed to the feed.

So I thought I'd show my screenshots! Images and descriptions under the cut.

( RSS feeds can be weird and unreliable in unpredictable ways )

It's insulting every time OTW insists that people bringing up issues with RSS feeds don't know what they're talking about. Feeds can have issues. They're nice, but they're not reliable. In this case, ao3_news_feed hiccuped and for some reason now the 5 most recent posts are being displayed out of order on the Reading Page of everyone subscribed to it. I find it especially insulting that OTW keeps insinuating that the only reason someone would have an issue with an RSS feed is because of either their own ignorance ("Additionally, some who expressed misgivings about feed function might not be accustomed to their functions via Dreamwidth. We recommend fans subscribe to the following feed to get some familiarity with feed functionality.") or their own incompetence ("With the feed being displayed without issues on its own page, I would suspect it to be a DW issue - some skins have bugs that mess with the display.").

Edited to add: I'm leaving the screenshots as-is so that it's very clear this is exactly what I'm seeing on my Reading Page. Scans_Daily and FandomCalendar just happen to be the two communities whose public posts surround this fiasco on my Reading Page.

I've signed up for comment_bingo again! Had a blast last time, and it definitely helped encourage me to comment. So signing up again was a no-brainer, haha, and maybe this time I can get multiple bingos. :D

Many thanks to svgurl for the banner and for running comment_bingo.

I've signed up for comment_bingo in the hopes that a challenge will encourage me to comment more. (I should comment more! I just get inexplicably shy and then, uh, don't comment.) But this looks like it could be fun while also being low pressure.

Hello, Yuletide Writer!

I'm coprime over on AO3.

Thank you so much for writing for me! I already love whatever you're going to write because you've offered to write me something in one of the small fandoms of my heart. I've said before that I think the best story is one the writer is excited to write, so if you already have an idea that you want to write, go for it! If you'd like a little bit more information though, then his letter is for you.

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for writing for me! I love all my requested fandoms and characters, so I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. I promise I'm easy to please, so if you already have an idea, go for it! This letter is only for if you want a bit more information.

I think today was the first day I didn't have any mail waiting for me in the morning. Rather, today was spent chopping wood, making fences, and then setting out plots. ( Blather )

So the Spouse and I are both huge fans of Clank!, which is a super fun deck-builder dungeon exploration game with a push-your-luck element and sense of humor. Getting him Clank! Legacy for Christmas was a no-brainer, and the actual risk was that we'd both gotten it for each other. We started playing this weekend and have so far loved it. The campaigns are long, somewhere in the realm of two and a half to three hours each, because we're having too much fun doing as much as we can each game.

The game's been a delight so far. I'm going to put the rest of my comments, including some remarks about our individual campaigns, because I believe anyone thinking about playing this should go in as spoiler-free as possible. A lot of the delight has come from discovering different things in the game, and I don't want to spoil someone else's potential playthrough.

( The Spoiler Zone )

I'm going to stop there as anything else I'd want to say would be very much specific spoilers, as opposed to the more general game play ones so far.

I saw Dark Phoenix with Husband today, and we both enjoyed it! It was much better than X3, which is not exactly a high bar to pass but an important one.

( Cut for Spoilers )

(I cut for spoilers nearly always because I don't care about spoilers but that means I'm not always great at deciding what's a spoiler. And because I know other people do care lots, I prefer to err on the side of over-cutting. This policy also gives me the added bonus of not needing to think about what is or is not a spoiler, everything goes under the cut.)
