Sometimes I see the way small independent artists who regularly challenge copyright via fanart talk about owning their art, possessing it, the right to destroy it, and similar things, and I am struck by the realization that a lot of y'all really would just recreate copyright if given the chance.

I have been growing increasing tired of fandom. If I ever made a general video essay, I think it'd be Fandom Has Mutated into Something Awful. Fandom can be great, but theres so many problems its hard to know where to even begin. - Making a fandom your entire identity - Misuse of therapy language

Went to a convention this past weekend. Wanted to try to socialize and try out new RPGs. I had a lot of fun: Daggerheart GURPS Paradox Initiative Sword World (I clandestinely carried Kiras ashes with me the whole time so she could be with me.)

Decided to go to see the Backrooms movie. I know it has a juvenile reputation but I do find liminal spces fascinating, and similar to Iron Lung, it will only be in theaters a very short time. My review: It was very good.

Felt like throwing a nuclear hot take into the ether. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a game about grief for people who haven't experienced grief.

You know how YouTube has been able to lower the quality of a video you watch by simply downscaling for literal decades? Maybe your connection's bad so you watch at 480p instead of 1080p HD? I just found out that YouTube has started *AI GENERATING* the low-quality output instead. They hate you.

Made a 3-Dimensional Political Diagram Infographic and was proud of it. As are all political charts, it's oversimplified, but I like to think it's better than the 2-axis one.

Happy 4/13

Just read this article and thought it was very insightful. Game romance is largely wish fulfillment. I think games need to be more willing to have characters turn the player down, for romance to fail not because you said the wrong thing but rather just because youre not compatible.

In my opinion, this depression isn't a natural phenonemon. Being sad when a beloved game concludes is expected, but depression? I think depression is an extreme response indicative of some kind of over-attachment or hyperfixation, especially if the game had a satisfying ending.

I don't think it matters what I do, because anything I do matters. I think this is true because I think this of you.

I also asked this. I think it shows that Nintendo is not confident in Mario movies, even after the success of the last one. If they were, theyd milk it by making movie adaptations of every big game in order, bank on nostalgia. Skipping to one of the biggest games is short term gain, long term folly.

Iron Lung was great, Highly recommend

My new years resolution for 2026, given to me by my dear wife: Live.

Made my Disco Elysium character tier list. I consider the skills to be characters btw. Minor spoilers for the existence of certain characters:

Wow, is that GOOD Homestuck news today? Please everyone, please be kind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl5x...

Figured I should make a statement on the latest Homestuck situation that resulted in the Unofficial Collection being taken down. Earlier this year I made a video defending Homestuck. I stand by it. Others have made takedowns that I felt were personally motivated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbXc...

I made a resource for folks that are looking to play DnD 5e with all the best and whistles, or just looking for an archive from before DnD 5.5e came out last year. Also my own designed character sheet. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... drive.google.com/file/d/1HcOF... www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/co...

There's been much drama in some sectors of bluesky lately where I've seen a specific rhetorical tactic ad nauseam, what I'd call a fallacy. Seeing such a Thing done repeatedly without knowing its name, I thought about it and wanted to share my conclusion. This thread is about motivated bulverism.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't ace so I could make a historical archive of porn before the seemingly inevitable broad porn ban comes.

"Won't someone think of the children?!" - the most pedophilic people you have ever seen

My country and others doing Sexy Prohibition because misogynist Australian wine moms convinced 3 companies to make it happen

There was a scene in my Homestuck Is Good Actually video essay where I talk about how Gamergate affected the fandom. Originally I showed images of Zoe and Wu. I decided to remove Wu because of what she became but worried I was cherry picking history. This thread has me thinking it was the right call

One of the subtler disgusting things I've seen with the current protests is the press referring to any instance of cops assisting each other as "mutual aid". They know that's not what that means. Trying to change a definition is certainly the most blatant attempt at manufacturing consent I've seen

Oh huh guess this was me saying happy pride month. So um, happy pride month! Don't let anyone stop you from being as gay as possible.

Started a new DnD campaign today and got to reveal my character! Her name is Missus Stitches. I'm so happy to play as her:

We live in an era of evil, where people are proudly and defiantly evil, shouting their evil for all to hear. They speak evil, desire evil, celebrate evil. This they do, while calling themselves American. Christian. Good. For them, evil is good.

Oh hey, it's Jane Crocker from Homestuck

Gonna be honest, I've been seeing a lot of posts lately about Katy Perry going to space, and I think most of it is thinly-veiled misogynistic envy. Yes, she was included on the oligarch space tour, but like... Jeff Bezos was right there? I haven't seen a single post mentioning that. Just Perry.

Donald Trump is a dictator. Elon Musk is the nazi shadow president. The Supreme Court are the high priests. The richest businessmen are our oligarchs. The Republican Party is ideologically fascist. ICE is the American gestapo. The Democrats are complicit. American democracy is over unless revived.

"Self-deport" is a fascist phrase. The US government and media has been using it a lot lately. It means flee. It means run for your life.

The recent AI debasement of the Studio Ghibli art style has been strange for me, because I just so happened to be reading the DnD book: Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass, made lovingly by actual artists in the same style. Im seeing first hand the difference between soulful and soullessness.

I'm going to just call it. Within a year, the United States is going to provoke a war with Iran to return to a state of forever wars to make up for pulling out of Aghanistan and Ukraine, but it will be much bloodier. Israel will be the US's proxy / staging ground.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are America's Hitlers, and they will be remembered as such. Just wanted to post that before they make it illegal to do so. Resist where you can, and protect the ones you love.

Can we just call transphobes, the cops they get to do their bidding, and the politicians screaming about children, the Genital Police? "Argh we gotta inspect yer genitales." Creeps!

Saw a cybertruck. Freaking Porygon tier car.

Just watched Hazbin Hotel. Turns it that it's really good. I had heard both praise and hatred for this show, and the haters have never been more wrong. Very good show. Highly recommend if it looks like it's your thing. It is also gay.

A mod being old does not necessarily mean it is "outdated" or bad. People will seriously imply you're a luddite for using a mod from 2012 on a game made in *2010*!

I know I havent posted about politics in a while. Its just that things are so unbelievably bad now that honestly I feel Id just be describing the flames that are burning our society down. America voted (by a sus 51%) to have a king, and we are getting one. Dont go down without a fight.

Roxy says trans rights

Trump's new gender executive order decrees that people like my partner are literally neither man nor woman. Fascists cry and scream about biological reality but blatantly ignore the biological fact that intersex people exist.
