Everyone is insufferable in their own way tho.

Yeah. Plus, I find a lot of pleasure in my woodworking, creating something that didn't come from a corp, same as my work on game dev. :/

I mean believe me that's not all I talk about, but this feels really weirdly holier-than-thou? Am I reading it wrong?

@Nymphomachy and I have a lot of shared cultural resentments at being made to feel inferior by other people at various points in our lives that we both tend to be somewhat unfair about given our own chance to declaim from a platform1 reply 0 retweets 9 likes -

Yeah I mean if you looked at my thread and especially if you looked at it in the context of what Darci said in hers I'm very specifically talking about the position of these people as a faction in discussions re: gaming and the New Ager ethos they ascribe to their pointless hobby

As a VN dev, and a semiserious one, it hits different when you're having your intellectual pursuit diminished as childish and superficial by the selfsame people who are playing a game about decorating a bedroom

Honestly even if you are in point of fact decorating a literal bedroom as your hobby I genuinely think you aren't any better, more valuable or even more "productive", and CERTAINLY not more mature, than somebody who's trying to steal tenth place in an any % speedrun of Zelda 2

But I would go so far as to say that "nesting" as a behavior is... generally a sign of being a dick If you're putting a lot more effort into your living space than everybody else it just might be because you tacitly desire to have more control over the space than everybody else

Replying to @Nymphomachy @arthur_affect and
Well, is it bad to want to control a space? The question is if it's really yours to control, of course.

One of the things @Nymphomachy has talked about re: the raccoon stuff that I identify with strongly is always feeling homeless, even when I literally owned the house
I don't identify at all with the feeling of "my house" or "my space"

I've always had a vagrant nature Part of me always anticipating the moment I'll pack up and leave for greener pastures, and feeling trapped and insecure if there's no exit strategy

Absolutely fair, but I think that's also not ENTIRELY different; property is, as law professors say, a bundle of rights, and one of those rights is to destroy it and abandon it or sell it.
