So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??

MMOs are a social game where community is a major aspect, and creators with platforms and an audience they influence do have a direct impact on the community - by extension experience - of the game ToS/GM discipline relating to videos/streams of the game are completely par for the course for MMOs

I have criticized ffxiv, even DT, many many times. I was still invited as media to fan fest, given a lot of generosity, and even given press conference access They don't care if you like or hate the game, only if you're a jerk in how you talk about it and the people who make it

jsyk I got banned in 2019 for twitter posts. both Xeno and Arthars have been banned in the past for their behavior on Twitch simply while streaming the game! they know SE takes action on shit outside of the game, this isn't unprecedented anymore!

This is entirely a big baby cry time post, but y'all ever notice that Popular online personality demonhunts trans women for years: Internet: 😴😴😴😴😴 Same popular online personality shifts to literally any other demographic: Internet:

I dont play Ultrakill but I will forever love the dev's "You want a shield? Thats just a boring parry" rant when it comes to addressing certain player feedback

Unironically one of the most important game dev texts of the era

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

how computers work

That’s a wrap on Google ever being remotely useful ever again.

if you ask me to go do something i was already about to do or—may god have mercy on your soul—something which I was already IN THE PROCESS OF DOING, the earth should split open and swallow you with a scream

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

This brought me joy.

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

I don't care how much you like Good Omens or Sandman or Coraline or whatever - do not support this fucking horror of a man's works.

why do they light things like this is it literally just green screen syndrome where everything is flat lit and they just grade it fuckass dark after?

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life I love you all I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

me when i see another european artist appropriate skinwalkers and i dont. i dont have the energy to try and explain to them why thats very Specifically Bad from my ethnic background

“This game was targeted for harassment because it involved this person, or that person” No. Any game release that achieves any broad level of attention now will attract reactionary commentators and their harassment, because generating hatred is how they make their money. It’ll never be enough.

How it started ---> How it's going

Firing the people isn't good enough, these services needs to be structurally unavailable to genocidal Israel's government and any dual-use companies, and any military contractors. A win nevertheless. Let's keep making Israel a liability for any company. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Oh, that's the creators of Lies of P specifically hiring an AI "artist" to work on their next game 😕

I am once again begging the average person to understand this is christofascism. Every single man leading the payment providers that are pushing for this are christians who believe they have a mandate under the current government to reshape the world. To ignore this is to invite further censorship.

boycotts work. anyone stating otherwise is spreading state & corp sanctioned propoganda

(afaik the boycott is not over btw. keep it up)

i can always tell when someone's reposting screenshots of the mulch incident on instagram or tiktok or whatever because i'll suddenly get a huge influx of new followers and mulch-related asks on tumblr out of nowhere

I keep seeing folks say it's been 12 years, but it hasn't. Gamergate was 12 years ago, but the harassment of Anita Sarkeesian predated Gamergate by over 2 years, the Tropes vs. Women Kickstarter was in March 2012. So it's even more pathetic. IT'S BEEN FOURTEEN YEARS.

Why does Alphi always prioritize Alisaie when healing in duty support, you ask?

I have my own ideas about how the upcoming changes to dailies came to be...

the moment they dropped the DT dye channels.... it still remains true...

*turns my English major into attack position* all works of art, even art you absolutely love, is deeply flawed through an innumerable number of lenses and you must interrogate the belief that engaging with flawed art is a negative reflection upon the self

As above, so below #ffxiv

Since “Butch lesbian slippy toad” has been mentioned by other humans besides myself… plz perceive these. Thanx

All Anita ever did was make some mild criticism from a feminist perspective, but severity of her transgression or lack thereof doesn't matter, it's completely immaterial to the fact that the harassment campaigns drummed up against her didn't need a reason, didn't need an inciting event or cause.

literally "pray return"-ing one last time (and i mean that in a positive sense, i always liked going back to vesper bay and i do miss it there sometimes)

Henceforth, he shall walk. #ffxiv
