turns out a lot of people will shit a brick if you say something as mild as "i sort of wish" you would listen to what they're actually saying. it's almost like the jokes effectively function to rehabilitate heterosexuality & thus cannot be challenged however gently

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Negative Space - B.R. Yeager America is a dead thing, its children born dying with it. Family saves no one. Communion with unlife in a drug you buy at the gas station. Adolescent proximity to death destroys or does not destroy a person.

Negative Space. this book is incredible. i had been meaning to read it for a year, then i found it at a used book store. heavy and bleak, don't read if you have a weak stomach. the book is about suicide but that's not the scary part. i read it in four sittings and the last one almost made me sick.

My latest visual novel, PASSENGER x PRINCESS is available now on my Subscribestar Two miserable fools go on a nonsensical road trip into suicide pact, resulting in unfathomable, heart rending terror and confusion. 22K words of pain and manic longing. Please enjoy. subscribestar.adult/posts/2181555

ALSO, copyright enforcement is an active evil which corrodes all of culture in the first place, and even if it did pose a threat to big tech (it doesn't; at scale, copyright only protects big companies, who aren't averse to AI as long as they're in on the deal) that still wouldn't justify it!

I'll try to do a few threads on this because I think it is really important. The commentary on tech and venture capital is being completely overrun by the idea that AI and crypto and tech and VC are about to collapse. So irresponsible. SO dangerous.

please read this and Shanley's blog. i'm so tired of people gloating over the prospect of an imminent tech bubble collapse. this shit is held up not only by profit but also by an ideologically rigorous international fascist movement. they have told us their plans and we should take them seriously.

this is the only song that ever makes me cry and it does it every time. idk why, there are plenty of other sad songs adarook.bandcamp.com/track/septem...

all seated

it's very good. better than unkillable angel (and naiad lol), but rough mixing tbh. i think try is still her best release of the year. the covers are the most interesting part of this album; needled 24/7 and brackish go as hard as her best originals here, and in for a world of hurt is a great closer

new ada rook album and i only heard about yesterday???? adarook.bandcamp.com/album/59-nig...

i love slop 😋

i;m becoming a "homestuck is actually a visual novel" person

If you like Thief (1998)'s aesthetic but thought "this needs to be a high adrenaline first person combat platformer with an emphasis on speedrunning in the vein of Neon White" well I have good news for you Bloodthief exists and it is exactly that done very well

NO ESCAPE

#birdbot

today's a good day to read my little story catboys.exposed/catboychurch...

If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares. www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...

i accidentally accumulated a folder of 200 yume nikki fangames and i have played 2 of them

i honestly just think it's cowardly to look at a potential total ban of gun ownership for trans people, possibly achieved by officially classifying all trans people as legally insane and decide to write a column about how trans people shouldn't own guns anyways.

anatomy wouldve been a pretty cool game if the monologues for the 2nd and 3rd endings had been intelligible. sitting in the basement hearing something something something something house something something something is boring and frustrating and leaves the 4th one badly dampened

idk how long there have been "someone liked your repost" notifications have been here cause i haven't used here much but whose idea is this and what is their home address? i will simply never like a repost again. anyone know any good websites

I wrote a thing. btw ur trans. aria.dog/barks/egg-pr...

sherlock manga issues at the used book store. what cursed beast have i discovered... the matching front and back cover is what truly makes it

idk i kind of forgot how to enjoy talking to people. every time i try to talk to a friend again now i just feel scared and either leave or start crying

at some point in i think march or so this stopped being accidental and became deliberate practice for dying so that i felt like i could justify the real thing. before that i was trying to escape the anxiety (it's still there though) but after that i was intentionally making my life worse and emptier

i feel like i have been dead for the past 6 months but without any of the benefits. this sucks actually but idk how to start acting alive again

i love trans people

skipped pride to go to a local indie comics festival, a considerably gayer event

a week ago when i saw ran i kept going "wow the fool is so tgirl coded... no, i must be imagining things" but it turns out i was so right

every time i see a david lynch movie there are a bunch of tgirls in the audience. just got out of seeing the straight story and about to see funeral parade of roses; one party of tgirls walked out another walked in

Ow!

It is my 24th birthday today and I am trying to get top surgery soon. If me or my work has ever meant anything to you please consider sharing or donating 🫶 thank u !!

see how am i supposed to explain this to my horse.

i think it's very funny that people complain about morrowind not making you feel powerful enough (early game) and also about other elder scrolls games being power fantasies

i need beautiful tender images of swooning lovestruck challia bull

had to give my mom a lecture about how even if she's An Ally it's inappropriate to make comments on whether a trans person passes, even if they're favorable

Today marks six months since the release of Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright, which you can read in full for free. Have you tried it yet? thaliarchus.itch.io/cosmic-warlo...

btw if i completely stopped talking to you in the past ~year thats cause my social anxiety keeps getting worse and worse and now it's way more severe than it's ever been in my life to the point where i lost contact with almost everyone. if im ever not scared of talking to people again i might say hi

grown adult men making excuses for and justifying their OWN misogyny by hiding behind the abstract idealized figure of the "vulnerable teen boy" who is just "confused" by a society that caters to men ever so slightly less than previous generations are absolutely pathetic little worms by the way

the thing teenage boys need to hear more than anything else is that it is actually okay if they don't grow up to be men at all. they don't have to feel invested in the political interests of men as a class, bc they dont have to BE men. it's okay if they grow up to be women, or something else :)

ill hardly have any time to play grasping fortune until next week :( but the shotn and p:c updates will be out by then :)

this is very likely the largest expansion, official or otherwise, to an elder scrolls game
