yeah man that guy got canceled. his life got ruined. he has an army of guys that defend him and makes a few grand every month because of them. the woman who canceled him? yeah she did it for the clout only. she's famous. she's known as "the woman who can't go anywhere without immediate harassment"

Does your character pick fights they can't win? Yes. Every fight, in fact. Book 1 opens with that, proudly. All of his fights are 1) Entirely his fault and 2) way outside his skill range, fundamentally. There's not a lot of fighting, but Thun is *not* cut out for it.

Manuals are a lost art, and showing new players old games is so wildly cool. Like, I had a partner who hated the original LoZ... Until they found out it had a full map that expected annotation. Good tutorials are neat, but...

YES! Fucking PREACH

700 words today, kupopo! Now is sleep time even though I don't wanna. The new sleep schedule is really good for a lot of reasons, but I do miss the overlap that I had going for me with my partners. Still, I'm getting plenty of quality time, and I know I'm loved, and it's a lot more money, kupo...

Every kink is a window into the soul - a way to understand yourself, and other people better. An opportunity to be a little bit more aware, compassionate, and supportive. 🌈🐀

Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?

Tapping the sign.

Just finished Age of Imprisonment. It was beautiful. Just absolutely supreme. I love Zelda. This feels like home, as best I can say. I can't wait for my next venture into Hyrule.

Has someone done this yet

Téa, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with- OH! It vibrates.

So... this is what Final Fantasy looked like in the dude's head, I'm going to guess. I don't do gore, but it's minor enough I'm here for it. If Square were to greenlight his proposed FF2 anime I'm pretty sure I'd just vibrate through the floor a bit.

Level-5 out here doing the opposite of everyone else and making straight bangers in half a dozen genres for twentyfive years at the least. Huge series kinda do the same thing by default: Square fans are going to fight for spots with halfbricks. Zelda and (some) Sonic doing the tasty too, kupo!

“My target audience is myself” thats the kind of art that resonates the hardest, it might not have mass appeal, but those who it does resonate with will ADORE it.

getting mad at people who think “games are art” because you want some games to be silly and fun too instead of too serious is the same thing as only praising “artistic” games both are treating artsy games as the exception meaning you don’t actually think all games are art puyo puyo tetris 2 is art

Just got to throw a racist Karen MAGAt out of my hotel for abuse of staff. Got to throw British insults at her. Got to mock her for her illiteracy as she wasted an hour of her life refusing to read nine words clearly posted. She screamed that she wasn't illiterate: she was an English teacher. 🤣

Follow4Follow and Mass Follow are violations of netiquette. They're also against the ToS, RaW. It really rather bothers me that this is something people have become numb to, and I wanna try and spread these thoughts around. Begin to restore (the best parts of) TheOldWays™️

literal factual truth

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

/doing vocabulary practice/ "What do you do when you don't know?" "Think?" "... be sad?" It was "question"

We don't enforce any DRM for games and stuff on @itch.io. Buy, download, and never connect to the internet again for all we care ✌️

Spending my morning writing a statement for press inquiries about all this when all I want to do is say "consumers haven't had purchasing power in about ten years now because we gave all of our money to like ten weird guys, what did you all expect"

Kimimi's works are amazing, and there's so much content, both exclusive and non. Throw them some money! Better the world!

"Revali! Stop pulling Link's hair!"

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.

New glasses still probably a week out, so I think maybe I'll just see how much a hinge replacement would run me. There are zero actual eyeglass technicians in my city, kupo. They're all people who will only work with user-servicible parts, like nosepads and tightening hinges. Luckily: Bread Clips

Just found out that the PS4 Grand Cross team uses LLMs. Kinda really bummed; why would you work on a passion project and then not actually want to do the work? People who don't write documentation, or don't want to, suck donkey shit, kupo. Care about your craft or eat gravel, kupo!

🎉🥳

Writing Thundal in the first person centers his viewpoint both literally and contextually. Exploring his bigotries and ignorance afterwords is something I had to do myself, and it's painful to write Also: almost all of my characters would've died in Texas due to terminal cases of faith & naivete

As much as I can't stand the bullshit from the dems, this isn't really there. It's a hard talk because of the people and power involved. This is BlueDogCoalition bullshit. They're the minority who *should* be targetted and pushed out, certainly, but let's not overstate.

The internet has some problems but getting to read/listen to everyone's articles, blogs and talks on game craft is actually amazing.

"but a character being a feminine guy is more subversive to gender than being a trans girl, doesn't transness just reinforce gender stereotypes?" no it doesn't. you are doing this 👇

Never dealt with them but wanna spread the word to help folk.

Horse Armor. Alternatively: capital.

it's entirely expected but still funny that they removed "hey einstein" from the star fox remake. i think they should have leaned into it. i think they should have made einstein real, and a furry. this is the kind of decision that separates visionaries from cowards

Supporting trans women is actually very easy. All you really gotta do is love women in the first place

i do not want the games industry to recover. i want something new to be built atop its now ashen foundation and i want those who previously brought ruin, rot, and misery to be outside looking in as they give up and seek some other well to poison

'Confessions', filmed  at the Hammersmith Apollo, London, in October 2009. Are some subjects timeless? …boobs.  Full 7-minute vid here:  https://youtu.be/p1EhaANeYCI?si=dUwoJ1-93E-opax3   #Confessions #LivePerformance #DigitalHouseOfTimothy  #Backstory

Remember when fighting against teen pregnancy was a headlining issue?

I just saw an article titled "A first person souls game? It works a lot better than you'd think!" ... Souls game. You mean, the 3rd-person version of King's Field, kupo? "I wasn’t entirely sure that a first-person version of the genre was even possible" FUCKER, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTED. FUCK.

I wonder how other people imagine the idea of "being able to see across time and possibilities." For me, it's pretty easy, as I maintain dozens of threads of possibility in my writing, but they're all true and they're all history, future, and present. I wonder if Pratchett had the same perspective

Late to the party, but I didn't realize that that was *actually* Anthropic's logo. It looks like the anus flag from community... done by AI. And that's just fantastic. It's *almost* as on-the-nose as Amazon's smirk, but only incidentally so.

Ralsei

Shibamune is a traditional feature used to protect the ridge of a thatched roof. Soil is placed along the top of the roof, and plants are grown to hold it in place. As their roots spread, they bind the soil, helping prevent the ridge from collapsing in wind and rain and reducing the risk of leaks.

ai is not democratizing art. ai is oligarchizing art.

Man, ooh man. This is blood boiling. Like, Adobe has been on a boycott list since 2006, but mother*fuck* they can jump up themselves into the sun at this point.

I need to inform everyone of the enchanting mascot for the MSX-fan magazine.
