Hello and Happy International Women's Day! I hope yours is going awesome, and your day off work is hella restful! Although, gamedev defo sounds like work to me!
I too am a lady type on the internet! I've never really hidden that though as I grew up a HELLA nerdy Millenial. I've had the internet in my hizzy since grade school and I cut my teeth on things like HarryPotter.com and GaiaOnline. Cutesy nerdy spaces. However, on the anonymous spaces, people assume I'm a dude on the reg. I usually just let it go. It's likely why I haven't experienced the toxicity to the same level that other ladies unfortunately have.
That being said, this weekend I'm hoping to be productive as hell with some yard work, and chilling out with some Cyberpunk as it's my latest obsession. And I'm definitely not cooking tonight!
Because I'm food motivated though...whatchu thinking about for take out?
Ah but you see, it's not the actual proper gamedev project I'm supposed to be doing, it's procrastination gamedev which is way more fun!
We're probably basically the same age, there was a definitely a window of time there where being online was still niche enough that nobody really cared who you were, they just wanted enough people to nerd out with. I mean, creepy A/S/L chatrooms aside of course π I kinda treat the internet as if it was still that way and dare it to prove me wrong, works out most of the time.
Tonight we are doing pizza, which on one hand yeah that's basic. But on the other hand small towns don't have much choice, and also pizza is bloody awesome!
Enjoy your Cyberpunking!
Ma'am, the way that the letters A/S/L took me BACK! π
And hell yeah, personal project gamedev does sound way more fun! It's always the passion projects that keep us going, right?
Enjoy your pizza! We might do the same! (Low key seeing what other people are ordering and mulling it over while I'm at work)
There is a definite pizza theme emerging here and I would love the idea of us all stuffing our faces in Lemming solidarity tonight.
