Reminder that "The Game Awards" only have has much prestige as we choose to give them, and that amount should be zero.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Remember to be considerate tonight while trick-or-treating!

Uh oh, think I turned into the wrong neighborhood

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Hello. It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released. Now, I'm looking for your memories. Let's turn back together. Face the flower and speak. memories.undertale.com

Local graffiti on point:

If you want a reminder of how cyclical our current hellscape is, Blowback is a good podcast detailing how our governments and media treated the Iraq War: blowback.show/Season-1

Deltarune Chapter 3's fully voiced playthru continues: www.twitch.tv/darktwinge

Want a refresher on Deltarune Chapters 1-2 before rolling into Chapters 3-4? My full, voice-acted playthrus are now nicely edited down on YouTube: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Can't think of a single time the MGM lion advanced the plot of the movie in any way. Just needless jump scare

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Good morning !

Please stay safe, friends 💔

I've started uploading my full Deltarune play to Youtube, fully edited. The first 6 episodes are already live: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Good refresher before Chapters 3-4 drop, or you can see my bewilderment when the game was released out of nowhere in 2018 and we had no idea what to expect!

A little thing: There's an itch charity bundle right now supporting trans rights in Ohio: itch.io/b/2946/ttrpg... I've been making vtt tokens for ttrpgs for a while. I figure it makes a cute "token pack" for vtt users, so... it's in the bundle! There's over 150 tokens in the pack, examples below:

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

When going to turn off a new automatically opted-in ebay setting to use my data for AI training, the captcha I had to click thru to verify my account used AI generated images 🙃

Apparently after retiring from vampire-hunting, Simon became a dentist.

Twitch thinks this is a reasonable limit to suddenly impose apparently

Thinking I won't post every single Going Live stream announcement over here, but leave it for the more unusual ones? Feel free to comment if y'all have preferences. But for tonight: we're recapping the best games/shows/books/etc. we all experienced in 2024 — www.twitch.tv/darktwinge

Anime can be dangerous. I watched Haikyuu and suddenly I want to do physical exercise and my YouTube recommendations look like this:

The best way to look like a stereotypical hacker is to contribute to an open-source NES randomizer project.

I love the layers of culture present even in nonsense memes from 2003. Amusing absurdity on its own, made from an awful LawForKids "educational" comic, featuring the car Putt-Putt from a children's game I hadn't even heard of when I saved this image - yet I competitively speedran it a decade later.

Y'know I could just treat this place like my Xanga "blog" in the early 2000s and only post random meme images. Even better if the images themselves are from the early 2000s and have no explanation:

I've realized a *huge* amount of the time I'm spending interacting with Twitter literally just involves me blocking garbage accounts, and maybe I should at least consider using one of the alternatives? So... hi.
