For Sale: Nintendo Switch games

I've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case I have better luck this time. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm about $65 shy of where I need to be to pay for my storage unit this month, because the universe hates me, and it would help a lot if I could manage to sell even one of them.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Me-and-media update

Previous poll review
In the Making friends with chatbots poll, 66.1% of respondents hadn't used AI in the last seven days, as far as they were aware, and 8.9% had used it for work. A quarter of respondents had used it against their will. Once again, I'm left wondering how representative Dreamwidth denizens are. My people!

In ticky-boxes, alpine octopuses practising their yodelling came a distant second to hugs, 41.1% to 67.9%. Thank you for your votes!!

Audio entertainment
Tons of Tech Won't Save Us, which is really good. Argh, everything. /o\ Most of the available episodes of new Aotearoa NZ political podcast Cross Party Lines (in the vein of and inspired by The Rest is Politics), which is really good -- intelligent and informed, of course, and I appreciate that the right-wing representative has zero time for our current government. Writing Excuses. Letters from an American. One episode of Fansplaining. A couple of episodes of The Life Indigenous, and the start of an episode of The Tongue Unbroken: Language Revitalization & Decolonization.

Online life
Constantly running to keep up, partly because I haven't been around as much. | I need to not compare my Yuletide productivity with last year's -- finishing my assignment is enough! Anything else is jam. | The [community profile] sid_guardian Slo-Mo Guardian Rewatch continues to be wonderful!

Writing/making things
A few bits and pieces inspired by the Slo-Mo Rewatch, a few flashfics. It's time to roll up my sleeves and dig into my Yuletide fic: so far I have 360 words and a scene list. I'm in a reasonably good writing headspace, so I expect it to be fun if I can keep from second-guessing my prose. *knock on wood*

Weekend to-do list

  • Slo-Mo Rewatch post
  • Yuletide assignment draft
  • media update post (or, as I generally refer to it in my notebook: MUp) ✅
  • attack email inbox/tabs
  • First Aid flashfic (started)
  • draw something *struggles with the urge to disclaim this to the horizon and back*


Already achieved: dishes; [community profile] fandomtrees signup submitted, tweaked, and re-tweaked (I'm not going to touch it again!) (NINE fandoms, whaaaat?).

Also, I took almost no zoo photos the other day (and none of the meerkats), but I did snap these.

I literally feel at least 5x better than usual. I don't know if it's because the weather is good or because my hormones are just right, or because the new med is working. I've been on it for 2 weeks, so it's probably the med. WOW. The difference is so striking.

Question thread #146

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

The new med so far seems okay. I'm not as easily annoyed/angered, is that a thing? In a couple days I go on the largest dose. So far I've been gradually going up.

I hate being the only person in charge of cooking. Tomorrow's gonna suck

My second beta finished with my FTH fic. Now I've got to get my first beta feeling better.
