i think most heterosexuals and even some queer/trans people have vastly underestimated the ability of queer ppl to keep each other alive. we are not asking or begging, we are saying ”your laws are meaningless, we will survive by any means necessary and there’s literally nothing you can do about it.”

Sorry y'all, but it's true. We're now using a name only we're allowed to say, and no other names are allowed.

In the Feb 1985 issues of LOGiN, game publisher Bothtec tried something unusual. Instead of a typical ad that looked like a spread from a catalog, they just printed an uncolored illustration (by in-house artist Kauyuki Takimoto), a list of their current and upcoming games, and their contact info.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

yeah I had one of these once within a year I was on HRT watch this space

Congratulations to the Pope on her polycule

Watched INTIMATE CONFESSIONS OF A CHINESE COURTESAN (1972), a prostitution rape-revenge story that's remarkably tasteful and restrained given its material, while being completely unrestrained in its retributive violence. One of the prettiest Shaw films too. It is also, quite literally, toxic yuri

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeee

I’m so tired of ace attorney defendants. “nooooo I can’t tell you what happened the night of the murder it’s embarrassinggggg” sir you are facing 20 to life in prison

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

It's an international holiday for me

a classic mistake, happens all the time

What if it was called Kirby dick riders and you had to race to be the first to get some good dick

I'll be the fun police. Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

STOP SAYING GAME LOOP TO SOUND SMART LMAO critpoints.net/2024/03/18/g...

a "gameplay loop" is when you are reborn as a slug for saying shit like limited lives don't respect the value of my dollar per hour entertainment

every time you refer to a significant mechanical change as 'Quality of Life' I add another turn of the wheel to your sentence in Samsara, many of you shall never escape.

it's one thing to apologize but this isn't really an apology, is it? it's just an admission of defeat. The fact remains that Wu was willing to throw other trans people under the bus to be perceived by the people who hate her as 'one of the good ones'.

It's amazing how Wu still doesn't understand why we hate her: It doesn't matter if she can't find common ground with the right. We already knew that the Leopards Eating Faces party would come for her The problem is she STILL wants to compromise on our rights and thinks it's the correct thing to do

did not think hollow knight two would be the game to reassert movement and spacing fundamentals over i-frame dodges but. praise be unto team cherry, i guess

Hey y'all, happy Halloween! Today JCP presents a very un-spooky treat: an episode on James Gunn's Superman featuring @jalachan.bsky.social @tethilus.bsky.social and @julietstmoon.bsky.social ! Have a listen: www.jalachan.place/85

today i'm thinking about the quote on the front of sonic 1's japanese box art

Two seconds after posting online that I want to get into a new, niche hobby:

Hai

I haven't mentioned it here, but I recently stepped down as admin and owner of the Scoreboard. It's an interesting experience: It was absolutely time for me to retire from being the head of this endeavor (though I'm still on the mod team), but I'm relieved to see it continuing on as normal.

In only a few years we will be injecting estrogen into every piece of food so that no male goes unfemmed. We will say "Good Girl" in place of "Have a good day" at store check outs. Butches will freely roam the streets in search of any un-femmed femmes.

Slashout

Last night I recorded an ep on Superman (2025) with @tethilus.bsky.social and @julietstmoon.bsky.social. I will continue to assert that while also a fun ride, it provides a real sense of joy and hope that I feel everyone deeply needs right now. Give it a watch. Even if superheroes aren't your bag.

The only different between the headline and the full context is that Miyamoto is sad about it. The crux of the argument, and the blame, remains exactly the same. If you're a head of industry, you are one of few people with any smidgen of power to change how people think about "obsolete" games.

Third is Yukinojo. This one doesn't quite have the same chokepoints as the previous, but it's still very easy to mess up your hits and whiff a bit too long because of the way player/enemy magnetism works. Also learned a punish, so that's kewl. AND GOT 300 LET'S GO!!!

Second is Wanyudo. This one was tough as hell because he has a lot of chokepoints that make it easy for a combo to break (like his first bar empty, which sends him into hard knockdown), or otherwise make it hard to not get hit while comboing. One of my prouder challenges.

In any form, his design method will last forever. This is my own tribute to #Itagaki.

Made this little diagram on Input and Output RNG:

A lot of old games rock by modern standards. Standards have never been especially high, and people have always been making good video games.

I'm real happy that gamedev/crit friends of mine like @boghogstg.bsky.social and @celialicious.bsky.social are reclaiming the kink/BDSM comparison with challenging games as a good thing, because I've spent way too long seeing gamerbros my age or older use it as a pejorative. (Sources in alt text).

Started a new run of Muramasa: The Demon Blade on Shigurui (1hp) mode, and trying a challenge I'm not sure is possible on every boss: Maintaining a continuous "combo" chain start to finish (seriously why do games kee calling chains combos?). First is Blue Monk. Too easy, piece of cake.

Yeah I have no tolerance for like, huge disagreements over major political issues, but if I can't say Ocarina of Time is one of the worst "Best games of all time" without it becoming a nasty fight rather than something funny like... what are we doing??

I had to entirely re-export this. I drew it nine years ago and the files were corrupted. It was funny opening up the old files and seeing how different my priorities were and how many basic mistakes I was making. This sequence was my baby back then and I remember being so proud of it.

this is probably the weirdest fucking boss i've ever seen in a game from a purely technical standpoint lmao

Had a dream a while back in which I discovered the existence of the "Grave of the Fireflies/Super Mario World 2-in-1" for the Wii. It basically functioned as a DVD except for a "special features" section that literally only had an SNES emulator playing Mario World. It went for absurd prices on eBay
