Apparently trans people should figure out how to live with billionaires who want them exterminated so Keira doesn’t have to feel guilty for taking blood money.

The way you'll bring this up and get a chorus of "Oh, I never thought of that" from cis people when it lives eternally in our heads....

putting in 70 hours a week and i'm still at the bottom of the escaping samsara leaderboards, what the fuck

You have likely grown up in a culture so saturated with transmisogyny that if you do not make the effort to see it and understand it, you will fail to.

Every now and then I'm writing something and I'm hit with a sudden extreme sadness that the Second Viennese School never won out, because there are times I'd KILL to put down a Nebenstimme line.

Hot Take: Choose Your Own Adventure: The Cave of Time is more of a game than Halo.

It was pretty good. Almost missed a 45 min doctor's appointment because of it. Overall cute, but GOD, I know that it's actually a phrase people use—I've used it!—but the "It's not just X, [it's|but] Y" snowclone just REEKS of artificiality these days.

The emotional rollercoaster of "oh that's an interesting premise" > "200k!!" > "wait, 200k isn't really that long, that's fine" > "oh god I'm saying 200,000 words of fanfic is entirely reasonable to just read right now" > "oh well no time like the present"

don quixote killed being struck by a wagon and sent to an alternate universe that is honestly exactly like the one he was already in but he's convinced it's some fantasy shit

Damn I wish I could write lyrics. If I were a lyricist I'd be entirely unstoppable.

developer: i have made AGI game director: you fucked up a perfectly good non-player character, is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Now that we know happiness is a warm gun and sympathy is a knife, it's pretty clear that we need to reinvest in basic research to identify which other feelings are also weapons

faustian bargaining comes after faustian anger but before faustian depression

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

It’s funny because it’s true

These are actions that will affect Bluesky’s future. You gained a following because this place offered a safe haven for many oppressed minorities after Twitter went to hell. You need to be more honest with your users, and yourself. You know what you are doing, and you know it’s not right. /6

Birds and bugs have wings and lay eggs. But angels have wings and dont lay eggs. And snakes lay eggs but dont have wings. So its not wings that make you do that. Its some other thing.

Back in my day, EA bought things and dismantled them, not the other way around

This is absolutely heartbreaking. This man should not have been murdered. His children should still have a father. His wife should not have to tell people her trauma. This government is committing war crimes.

Everything Hazel touches is something I've witnessed explode in terms of fan engagement in the best way and you just can't buy that 😩 Hire her for your own game writing but, do it for us fangirls as well please 🙏
