Whyyy are you not hyperlinked?

Behaviours which inspire passionate affectionate in me include, but are not limited to: tracing & crediting sources; word-play; acts of collaborative creation and play

21st Century humans rated emotions on a number scale, with low numbers meaning fondness/affection, and high numbers meaning dislike/repulsion. As with all scales there was a margin of error, which resulted in very low numbers being impossible to verify. Three was the lowest verifiable number. Thus, those experiencing strong affection could only say it was less than three, meaning more affection than can be accurately measured.

It didn't occur to me until now that while Star Trek The Next Generation - with episodes like "The Measure of a Man" and "The Drumhead" - were a big influence on me, many might have seen those same episodes as boring and ignored them.

@KitRedgrave Yeah, I'm in the weird position of desperately hoping somebody builds something better than what I made, please for the love of God, so I can recommend people use their thing and I can stop working on mine… but, uh, my thing is pretty good actually, if I do say so myself 😅

Want to read webcomics and fanfiction updates all in one place with whatever tools you like, no matter where they're hosted?

I'm proud of comic-rocket.com that I built for this a decade ago, but I'd rather use open standards. RSS only gives you the most recent pages. So:

I've filed feature requests for RFC5005 (full-history RSS) support with several open source projects.
github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur
wordpress.org/support/topic/ad
(and an email to AO3)

Wish me luck for some positive responses!

Also game: "WOW!!! that's some fucked up thing you did there! How dare you! Do you feel good about yourself? Are you PROUD of doing that? Why didn't you turn the game off instead? You CHOSE to keep playing, monster!"
Also also game: "Achievement unlocked! Burst 100 heads into chunks!"

Cats have recently taken to sitting out on my windowsill to ask to come in, or invite me out to play. So now I'm getting increasingly twitchy feeling like there's cats watching me.

Where are my claws and iridescent scales?
