@halucygeno @JaneSmi59961167 u'd be within ur rights to make such complain. Whether u find the complain reasonable or not its another story. Being mad at someone sharing a complain is the ridiculous thing ESPECIALLY since OP said and highlighted very clearly u can do as u please, they were just asking why.

@ImRamudaClone @JaneSmi59961167 By your logic, if I bought donuts from Dunkin Donuts, and then didn't dunk them into anything, you'd be saying: "I'm consistently confused by people like you. Why buy DUNKIN Donuts if you're not gonna dunk them?" The "purpose" of AO3 is whatever its users want to use it for.

The tweet is literally only 275 characters; I know you’re able to read it all the way through

@halucygeno @JaneSmi59961167 Besides, their point stands still. AO3 stands for Archive of Our Own. Do as u wish with ur fic, I'm not someone who tends to re-read fics over time, but u gotta understand that it makes no sense to use "the site for archival" and get mad that people advocate for archival. lmfao

@ImRamudaClone @JaneSmi59961167 "I am CONSISTENTLY CONFUSED by the very weird behavior of this group of people" "Why aren't they archiving things? Don't they see the website has ARCHIVE in the name?" Like, you do you understand that you can talk down to someone without ever explicitly calling them stupid?

@halucygeno @JaneSmi59961167 The way OP NEVER said that they were weird lmfao. U can disagree with OP's point but trying to put words that they never said is honestly WILD. I didn't know that being confused by other's actions meant thinking they r stupid. That says a lot more about you than about OP.

@bbvvamvam @bokutosayswhaat Yes, I said many, I never said all. The thing is, I understand not outright supporting piracy but at the very least I think you should understand why it happens and why people do it. Other solutions, as I said, is offering to ship everywhere/dynamic prices

@ImRamudaClone @bokutosayswhaat Some indie game developers see piracy as free marketing, but not all. Majority of authors make next to nothing for their work and only the top 1% will be able to make a livable wage as a writer, so it's perfectly reasonable that they wouldn't support piracy.

I don’t care about book piracy discourse coming from American authors because they will never understand what it’s like living in a third world country with no public libraries, books that costs 3x your salary, or bookstores that don’t even have recent books in their inventory

@bbvvamvam @bokutosayswhaat Why? In the gaming industry, many indie developers have offered ways of safely pirating their games, offering dynamic prices depending on country currency and even saying that sharing ur love for the game helps too. I don't see why other industries couldn't be as humane as them

@bokutosayswhaat Expecting an author to be supportive of piracy is so fucking funny

@wonderskiis @spicessystem @JaneSmi59961167 Ah, gotcha. I thought they were explaining why they'd rather delete their fics oops

@ImRamudaClone @spicessystem @JaneSmi59961167 I think that's what the point was bc it was explaining why some people orphan their old fics

@halucygeno @JaneSmi59961167 Please do enlighten us and show us where in OP's statement did they EVER call anyone stupid.

@JaneSmi59961167 "I know you're fully within your rights to do this, but if you do choose to do it, I think you're stupid and wrong and I'll complain about it." Like, okay? They're saying that your criticism is unfair, not that you're trying to outlaw deleting your own fanfics or something.

@spicessystem @JaneSmi59961167 @wonderskiis Huh? But I thought that once you orphan a fanfic you no longer get notifications about said fanfic, including comments from it? So even in said scenario its not like the fandom can even reach u

@JaneSmi59961167 @wonderskiis unfortunately i DO get this because there are a lot of fandoms who will ping you constantly asking you why you dont write for (x) anymore no matter what you say about being over that fandom, so sometimes you just gotta wash your hands of it lol

@cwntctdmfhlm @louasiis @bluestylo_ @chaosmikhailo En realidad todo había comenzado con un trend americano de "The girl's girls" para referirse a las chicas que cuidan otras chicas. Que luego los trends a través del internet se malformen no quita su intención original.

@ImRamudaClone @louasiis @bluestylo_ @chaosmikhailo y como se supone que esos atributos se desligaban de la misoginia si de los primeros trends fue la girl math

empezó siendo un trend tontorrón que no molestaba a nadie y se convirtió en una cosa extremadamente misógina que quiere normalizar que las mujeres no sepamos hacer nada ni servir para nada en general, me genera RECHAZO

@cwntctdmfhlm @louasiis @bluestylo_ @chaosmikhailo Esa era la idea... Todo lo estereotipicamente feminino, como el color rosa, se ha atribuido a ser tonta, emocional, etc. El punto era agarrar esos estereotipos y mostrar que pq una mujer se apegue a lo estereotipos femeninos no significa que se apegue a la connotación misogina.

@louasiis @bluestylo_ @chaosmikhailo "lo estereotípicamente feminino", que, como todos sabemos, nunca ha tenido una carga misógina

@lunnadream8859 @spoocle The problem is the indie dev asking to change the 2 hours policy (a policy that, btw, has existed for YEARS now and its smth devs should know already) instead of looking for a better solution. just cuz their game is finished in 2 hours doesnt mean other games are.

@ImRamudaClone @spoocle Yes, if you leave before finishing. If you stay till the end and then ask for your money back because you didn't like it, they won't give it to you, and they shouldn't Stores actually bend enormously to consumers, because that's a profitable strategy. That doesn't make it right

I'm the creator of small, short games. And I do NOT think Steam should change its refund policy. I've made many games that are 30–40 minutes long. Do you know what their refund rate is? About 10%, which is the average refund rate for all games on Steam. The fact that this particular person has a refund rate of around 30% is NOT because the game is short! It's because something is wrong with the game! Moreover, I've seen a refund rate of about 20% on my own games, and often that happened when the game turned out to be not very interesting — and that's normal! People should have the right to get their money back for something they didn't like, didn't suit them, or disappointed them. Yes, there will be a percentage of people who just want to take advantage of the system. But that percentage is incredibly small, and if his game weren't tied to online features, those people would have just pirated it anyway. Steam's policy is on the side of the buyers, and in reality, it doesn't harm the creators of small, good games at all. Let it stay that way.

@lunnadream8859 @spoocle This take is ridiculous. In many cinemas u can actually refund a movie if u quit it under a certain amount of times. Many E-book stores allow u to refund as well. Just because the world doesn't care about consumers means that we should keep going that way.

@spoocle You're being too hard on yourself. No, people don't deserve a refund just because the game they played wasn't interesting enough. You can't refund movies, books, plays, or any other sort of entertainment on those grounds.

@dianarmys @JaneSmi59961167 Then why are u using an archive if u won't actually archive the things u post there? If it annoys u so much go to another platform

@JaneSmi59961167 you do not deserve someone else’s work in perpetuity

I am consistently confused by people treating Archive of Our Own as a regular algorithmic social media site, to the point that they delete fics when they decide to move fandoms. Its your work to do what you want with, but why publish on an ARCHIVE with no intent of archival.

@Mikearice @btwn2slides @JaneSmi59961167 Sooo... When did they ever mention that after being done with a fandom u should keep making more fanfics of said fandom...? All they said was that it is an ARCHIVE. If u don't want to be linked to that fanfic anymore u can orphan it so its no longer under ur name.

@btwn2slides @JaneSmi59961167 Why the fuck are we treating fandoms like exclusive clubs and things you have to devote all of your life/time to?

@chuupple @duvaldood @comment_warrior Question! can't those hairstyle be a tiiiiiiny bit more loose? Is it less protective if loose? I'm not black but even a ponytail makes me have the worst possible migraines, so I imagine this also might cause headaches to the more scalp-tender people... (also Miku pfp twin <3)

@duvaldood @comment_warrior a lot of the time it does 😭 but the pain eventually wears off + you build a tolerance

I hate games that put bald spots in the corn rows hairstyles

@OG_MISTER_POPO @sylateral @Pirat_Nation This one is not so bad of a solution, but still, this indie dev is asking straight up for VALVe to change their 2 hour policy... Which is a policy that has existed for years now. Kinda silly to put the blame on VALVe's policy instead of asking for newer solutions like ur solution

@ImRamudaClone @sylateral @Pirat_Nation Most games have achievements i think games should have a “finished” achievement which nost do anyway you should be dq’d from a refund its like eating a meal and then saying u didnt like it

An indie developer is asking Valve to change Steam’s 2-hour refund policy after more than 55,000 players refunded his game after finishing it. The developer says his co-op game, Paddle Paddle Paddle, can be completed in under two hours. Because of that, many players finished the game, asked for a refund, and even left reviews saying they enjoyed it but got their money back anyway. According to the developer, the game has over 90% positive reviews, but the high number of refunds is making it much harder for a short indie game to be successful. Steam currently lets players get a refund if they bought a game within the last 14 days and played it for less than two hours.

@maggots4br4ins @SoftbwoyJ @ShesFishy The fact that you believe that supporting the death of thousands of people is only a "different view" tells me everything I need to know about you.

@SoftbwoyJ @ShesFishy first of all you can be friends with someone with different views, second which zionist is she friends with

SZA so performative 😭😭😭

@OG_MISTER_POPO @sylateral @Pirat_Nation I want the best for indie devs but also for the consumers. Reducing the 2 hour policy refund is ridiculous, while this indie's game takes only 2 hours to to beat, many others take 30+. It'd be unfair to not allow consumers to have a fair try of a game bc of a single indie game

@sylateral @Pirat_Nation Its a indie dev. We cant cry about sony and big corporations and then say fuck you to the indie devs.

@GuesstOlse44799 @jobbysandwixh @mistynatpilled The thing with AI is that the water thing isn't the only issue. AI actively steals from real human artists, has created a witch hunt causing false accusations, it is also stealing jobs, worsening our lives, being used to create non consented porn, and so on.

@pissgyu @jobbysandwixh @mistynatpilled Whatever you do with your life and your body is fine by me but to go around acting like people using AI is the end of the world and it’s resources while happily smashing down a burger is insane to me

whatever dude

@Mistyknighting @meloncrab as far as i know roaches are super common in tropical/humid areas. A long time ago i lived by the beach and it was not the dream as many people paint it lol hell lot of roaches and the salty water air would ruin everything + making everything slippery...

@meloncrab I don't think the average American realizes how HARD it is to have an ant infestation much less ants in your home. Roaches are in the nicest homes and high rises but ANTS...you gotta be dirty if you attracted ANTS.

Nah ants are literally everywhere while you gotta actively attract roaches to your house
