i would rather them to not have balls, but that's my preference

[Deathhappens]

I was considering typing "have the clams" but ironically, I didn't have the balls to use a neologism

Weddings are amazing places to observe a microcosm simulation of human society

not me though, I just go there to dance and look stupid (and I usually don't even need to drink first!)

Upgrading your MicroSd in a switch is both the easiest and worst I've done on a system. Everything is easily accessible and basically plug and play. But transferring all the game files from one to another is taking literal hours. God, I hope this new 512gb never runs out.

why do i find it easier to write the ending to a story/poem but find utter hard to come up with a decent beginning

[Comun]

Because the ending is generally the part where you show what you were trying to say in full, while the beginning can be anything. Working backwards from the conclusion is simply the standard form for someone who knows what they want out of their creation.

[Ideofago]

i mean the beginning isn't that hard either if you have a type you like
as in stating everything you want to state but without the elaboration so you can have the consumer's interest but not instantly gratify their curiosity

Sir we're creating Art here

Pro tip: If you decide to buy a microSD card to expand your Switch storage and you need to transfer over the data from an old one first, stick the new one in the switch and let it format the card for you before you dump all the data on it. Mine refused to recognize the card (even though it was the same format as afterwards) until I did that, and so I lost 6 hours trying to copy my old data over twice before I did that, and then had to spend another 2 1/2 for the final attempt.

you still consume art
or do you want me to say some variation of reader listener observer or whatever the fuck else

Thanks for the tip, man. I was thinking of doing this eventually since I have so many screenshots from my games.

Or you can reject the remarkably recent 20th c. Anglo-American academic notion of "art" relating by artist to audience as "consumption" and its semantic implications

[Ideofago]

im gonna be honest here I have no singular wide reaching term for the concept of the consumption of art
like literally i use that word because it is the one way i can refer to it without binding myself to a specific medium
do you have any better ones I don't like using it either

[Five_X]

Kant would say we "judge" art but I think that feels a bit too intentional and critical. You could say you engage with art, or maybe more passively you experience it, and aesthetics as a whole. "Engage with" is my favourite, since even if you go "wow big robot cool" it's still an engagement of a kind.
