friends keep saying evercold is canada

it's funny how discourse in eng is about how "otome game" is becoming too lax and then I read about "otome game" in cn is becoming narrow with "rules" like... acknowledging the FMC as her own character being a horrible crime

If a game removed pronoun options, never showed the protag, the script never used gendered language to refer to the protag, and had male LIs, is it suddenly "more" of an otome game

I watched episode 4 before going to sleep last night and. That sure was a decision I made. Anyway this show is both fascinating and also heavy-handed

I know it's a trend to promote games on viral/trending posts like "here's my otome isekai game! (on post about lack of otome isekai games)" but isnt it a bit odd to just promote your game on top of another dev's post about their game. idk

I watched ep1 of Top of the Lake and wasn't really feeling it but the consistent mentions of creation myth, patriarchal violence, etc in reviews made me want keep trying, at the very least to see how it's done. Which I'm glad I did, the next 2 eps settled better w me. The locale helps too

talked about this critically acclaimed <10 yo miniseries at work w a 20 yo and they told me "my taste is niche." and here I am thinking I'm always late to the party!!!!

I say I hate doing this and then zone out for an hour or so

once you learn how much training data images of women come from porn, it illuminates so much. this is more than bad to look at, it's the rot of misogyny in full display. arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01963

it’s beautiful to think One Battle inspired a whole new generation to read Thomas Pynchon’s wikipedia page

I've seen people try to revise history & claim those games were from a time when "otome as a genre wasn't as developed," applying "amare" to games made 10+ yrs ago. Arbitrary opinions like "if it's platonic it's otome," but if it's romantic, it suddenly isn't? This is my personal crusade.

“You finished those DC metro stations?” “Sure thing boss, beautiful, moodily lit and oddly unsettling, just like you asked.” “What?”

Gamer Nexus slowly moving from just a cool tech channel posting benchmark numbers and advice on cooling to being one step away from showing people how to 3D print a guillotine really shows the situation we find ourselves in.

It's so fun when you like a popular thing! Thing you like everywhere! But when hate popular thing. Tormented by a thousand visions.

I'm crying, someone pointed out that the full game is only available at the "valued at $530/ $109 now" tier

these proprietary mobile game "hub" apps are diabolical

today's writing tip

we offer tamago as nigiri option at work now, and a customer asked what it was. after I explained that it was egg, they went "you're going to charge me the same price as fish nigiri for EGGS?" buddy im just some asshole who works here, I'm not corporate, literally just ask for fish if you want fish

there's a vg shop that i frequent that imports a decent amount of stuff. we found a bunch of sega saturn-ported eroge (mostly elf) for sale. according to vndb they're still 18+. do they need to restrict that? we debated. the likelihood of someone under 18 blindly buying and playing it is like 0
