@guacodilian @AtheistsL @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics okay but if we're being real like who would have even noticed this if there wasn't a twitter tirade against this game? Rewinding goes counter clockwise makes intuitive sense I don't think it displays exceptional carelessness for the devs to not test it out irl first

@GeistDice @AtheistsL @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics i shouldnt have to explain how the fact that not one person on the dev team cared enough to try winding a cassette in real life before they put it in their game reflects poorly on their overall approach to portraying the past OR gamedev in general. what a cynical cashgrab

Rewinding the tape using a pencil was an intentional gameplay decision to emphasize physicality. If you can't even grasp this simple concept you literally got filtered by Mixtape and lost your right to speak on game design or aesthetics

@AtheistsL @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics ? I'm not saying you should like the game I literally don't care about mixtape it seems boring I just think complaining about the direction of the pencil rewind is a dumb and meaningless criticism that 99% of people wouldn't notice without a viral tweet about it

@GeistDice @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics You mean like what you're doing right now, using pedantry in your tweet over the realism of an inconsequential detail as a way to justify your opinions as if it's smth that'll actually affect anyone's non-enjoyment of the game?

@AtheistsL @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics all right so basically I'm saying something stupid and hyperbolic to communicate the idea that I think it's silly to use pedantry over the realism of an inconsequential detail as a way to justify your opinions as if it's smth that'll actually affect anyone's enjoyment of the game

@GeistDice @Zaphoid @3DGlyptics What?

@Zaphoid @3DGlyptics yes really 😳

@GeistDice @3DGlyptics

@Zaphoid @3DGlyptics me getting mad as fuck when Mario's skull doesn't cave in from hitting a block

@3DGlyptics "We intentionally portrayed this incorrectly to filter out people we don't like from playing our game" is an interesting design choice. Video game players are renown for not being pedants about things like this, so I'm sure it doesn't hurt them at all.

@IgniteMK08 literally how lmao

Im Not exxagerating btw finding out genuinely ruined my view of her

@_maxis_s @dsktpgrl omg you ppl are so annoying too scared to even stand on business about being transphobic lmfao

@dsktpgrl I would prefer that you actually read the contents of what I've posted and what I've shared rather than just point out the fact that I said "he" instead of "she" a few times.

reading from the kiwifarms article linked in the thread, "frums is a tranny rhythm game artist" plus all the purposeful misgendering tells me all I need to know about the intent behind this "exposé"

@dsktpgrl sad to see anyone getting baited by smth this aggressively bad faith seems honestly exhausting to gaf about this typa shit

@belligerentsky @aedison pitch alone doesn't really gender a voice id strongly advise against using pitch trackers as a way to measure progress. Really recommend Selene's Archive if you're interested in this stuff has tons of clips and direction on everything you could ask for selenearchive.github.io/guide/

@aedison I've been brute forcing it since day 1. The app I use says my pitch is in the "feminine" range now but when I listen to myself I simply don't believe it. It's definitely higher but not feminine to me.

when I first read about voice training, the prospect of signaling to the world that I was trying to sound like a girl and then failing was too humiliating for me to contemplate. it’s always very easy to come up with excuses *not* to do something.

@vengefulfistss @ankowaifu I don't think it's meant to be deep and thought provoking I think all of black mirror is p intentionally on the nose and wacky

@ankowaifu Most effective way to get killed by your abusive partner lmao wtf is this feature even???? it's supposed to appear deep and thought provoking but the whole idea is so comically stupid you can't even suspend your disbelief because everyone involved is fucking stupid for this

black mirror must hit so hard if you're retarded

@russelbuck @RandallSaber45 super highly recommend the Dariaperreo scene if you haven't heard it yet this shit is genuinely so good lostfrog.bandcamp.com/album/colita-d…

@RandallSaber45 I need some new recommendations!

I miss DARIACORE / HYPERFLIP SM

@uncanny_eli on fucking god exhausting to see how many ppl keep bringing up detrans grifters as a gotcha when it's so painfully obvious that they're uncomfortable w fem trans men cause they haven't unpacked their own insecurity and resentment driven gender essentialism

some of you need to keep feminine trans men out of your fucking mouths and look up what most ftm detransition grifters actually looked like / acted like before they started their grift. here’s a hint: they were usually more eager to bully fems than be one

@CursedGoo @H3liumWings where exactly did he say he was "surprised" it was masculinizing him? I don't think it's that hard to imagine someone taking T and knowing all of its effects and still having some complicated feelings about it like let's be real here.

@H3liumWings If you take a medicine with explicit primary/side effects, that are the whole purpose of the medicine, and then you are surprised that the medicine did the thing it was made to do, I do not respect you regardless of whether you’re trans or cys.

These people aren’t the problem tbh. The problem is that there’s really no off-ramp for them to take once they realize they’re just spicy cys. In a transphobic society, they essentially will have to justify siding with “the enemy” for so long to their family and community, thus the detrans grifter trope. Coming out as trans is a socially polarizing choice and gets you welcomed into our community, and oftentimes once you detransition and lose that status, there’s a very real chance you’ll lose your place in the queer community. So even if one doesn’t really fit in, they might play the part just to maintain normalcy until they snap and go the other way. It’s not transmed or gatekeepy to want to avoid harm to our community, and to these people, by recognizing that dysphoria (of any sort and level) is a requirement for transition, because it prevents situations like this and the inevitable grift (and before you say anything, you can have non-binary dysphoria). Because people should know themselves before making decisions that’ll inevitably result in them passing the consequences of those decisions to others.

@TheEyeOdyssey @kiyubaru Wow really interesting and great read! Feeling very lucky to get this kinda insight into Harada's work thank you for conducting such a thoughtful and well researched interview!

It was an incredible honor to hold this interview with Hiroshi Harada (@kiyubaru) about his work and underlying motives as an artist and political activist. Greatest thanks to Harada for his generosity. I've been really looking forward to sharing this: aarondylankearns.substack.com/p/life-in-the-…

@KAVARI_ shoutout effedupmovies fr

@vutaje holy fuck ur right

GUYS EVERYONE GO LISTEN THIS IS PEAK

@VeryGoodNameYes @I__HATE_SOCCER not even about this tbh the real problem is the ds2 roll having variable iframes. DS1 and 3 both have wack ass hitboxes but the roll is snappy and lines up well with the actual iframes ur getting while ds2's long floppy roll is super ambiguous so ppl blame the hitboxes

@I__HATE_SOCCER I mean even with good adp a lot of hitboxes simply do not line up with the animations and it’s way more common in ds2 than in other entries

90% of dark souls 2 hate stems from the fact that everyone is still too stupid to level ADP even though it's been well known that it's an important stat for over a decade at this point

@Absurd_Ruka @GorillaLongo hitting the "them" once ur talking to a transphobe hmmmmm

@GorillaLongo Idc about attacking them for being trans. My issue is them being an imperialist

Of all the washed up "breadtubers" she might actually be the stupidest, which is genuinely quite impressive.

@stickerbite @twinkdefcon interesting I p consistently find shrooms to be the scary one while acid is bliss lol gets me up and about and more able to control my headspace and redirect from spiraling

@twinkdefcon it depends on which one we are talking about but generally acid backfires a lot. 2cb is kind of the safest one because its kind of hard to actually have a bad experience on it since its sort of molly adjacent headspace wise, also no perma tolerance and nearly impossible to od on

@zebruder @cloudynyxx ppl acting like you need to "get" the deeper meanings behind anything weird or artsy aren't worth listening to in the first place tbh just experience them let the feelings wash over you and if you're able to find something meaningful to you that's all that matters

@cloudynyxx That's basically a collection of all the anime I always tell myself to watch, but am way too scared to because I fear I won't "get" them and thus be deemed a worthless idiot by everyone around me and subsequently shunned. lol.

I love this but there are like 5 anime fans who have seen all of these. The original post is funny because of the irony - they were all the most accessible "niche" anime of that era and the first shows that came up when you googled "dark philosophical animes."
