Ahoy, New folks on swingset.social? Time for an #introductions post!
I'm Lilian, your local Mastodon old-timer and part of the mod team! I'm a thirty-something blue-haired transfeminine queer, living in the Seattle area. I'm an oversaturated solo polyamorous slut, casually kinky, trying to take care of myself and my chosen family. I dabble in all kinds of crafts, always looking for a new way to make useful and beautiful things.

I looked up what Escape from Tarkov is all about and ... I cannot fathom who could possibly enjoy that game, let alone put in the work and research to develop it? It's literal hell. It's proposing the worst possible failure case of liberalism/libertarianism, then making a game loop out of the cruelest possible way to cope with that world.
Factorio
I think I might have finished the game to my satisfaction? I started a second base from the ground up, got it launching rockets on a regular basis, have a spidertron/power armor setup that can level a nest simply by walking through it. At this point I can log in just to watch the trains come and go.
Four years ago today, I told @starkatt that the whole "male" thing wasn't working out anymore. It's been a hell of a ride since then, for sure.
Alcohol, seizing the means

Not the prettiest thing I've ever pitched, but as long as I don't forget to check the airlock it should turn out delicious.
