Edward Cullen, alas, isn't aphasic at all

Mori: Just as well I got that aphasia zine done; Rogan lost his words again yesterday. We'll see how long it lasts this time!

You might've noticed I done been cranking out a bunch of little zines, just noodling and experimenting around. I feel like Rogan was getting too bound up in perfectionism, like now everything had to top All In The Family, even though that's stupid and a recipe to never get anything done. (I hardcore believe in cranking out stuff like it's sausage and just letting the crap fall away by the wayside, rather than treating every project like some precious gem that must be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for some invisible audience who may not even care. That's a recipe for resentment like, "how dare the public not care about my 800-page exhaustively-researched tome on perler bead technique throughout the 1990s? After how hard I worked???")

Linux! 8D

Mori: Also oh man I am loving Linux and am never going back to Windows-only!

Rogan is used to hoarding installers like he's prepping for doomsday, and we just... haven't needed any of them? Linux just CAME with a bunch of default software that was exactly what I needed! It could use our scanner right out of the box, which was a good thing since it's now "legacy software" and we can't get the drivers online anymore. (Which is BS, because our scanner is a trooper. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just old.) Installing stuff was SO EASY. I am flabbergasted. It runs so much faster!

Of course, I haven't dared tried and noodle with our tablet and Clip Studio Paint yet, but that's fine, I'm cool with keeping Windows as some vestigial OS to support the stuff that won't run any other way. I'll also have to fix up our playlists since they seem to be in a Windows-only format and I have to revamp them too.

But WOW this is such an improvement. I don't even care that I can never game again, our shoulder already insured that anyway!

...I just realized that I could play Hack again without an emulator, most likely! OH LORD THE RAPTURE IS HERE! I DONE BEEN SWEPT UP AND AWAY TO SLOW-TO-UPDATE HEAVEN
