@hakeism 😎😎😎

shout out to @zzsleeps for making me watch/play cyberpunk edgerunners and 2077 years ago

I'm really happy people are picking up the cyberpunk influences in my next story, even without the signature neon colors

@sky_mausse @scantierrr the mother 3 complaints are just a meme. nintendo even made a joke about it at a past E3 over a decade ago. anyone who hasn't played already never intended to in the first place, nor do they care enough to even try playing

@scantierrr dime algo gringito, se vuelven invalidas todo los años de quejas de mother 3 sobre la localizacion oficial de ingles por que ya lo jugaron con parches todos los fanaticos? no lo se, me parece que solo tienes la empatia metida en el culo

I genuinely don't understand why so many Undertale fans from Latin America are crying for a translation in ESP/PT if they have already played the game, know english, and obviously won't buy the game a 2nd time just to play it again in their native language.

@blrrydawn Luna is my #1 but it's also the easy pick so I'll go with Incomplete 🥰

gun to your head name Oneus best song

@yvssia I would consider it horror. I think it's easy to dismiss the horror elements due to the setting but I've always read it as a dark & existential horror with a xianxia skin. there's even traditionally "scary" scenes and monsters, it's just less scary when read as prose

quick question: can 2ha be considered a horror since there’s A LOT of pretty disturbing shit happening here

@b3havi0ur I have a handful of longtime friends + mutuals who are c!s fudanshi, and @/tbaudinette is a great academic professional in queer works (particularly asian BL) that I recommend following. just knowing that BL isn't ONLY a fujo thing helps wonders with validation!

@b3havi0ur slightly different bc I'm bi but I've always faced romance in a "male way" even my own het writing is from a male perspective what helped me the most in quelling that "I'm just a larping fujo" anxiety is knowing and following c!s men who are into BL

im #thinking… something that ive always felt this weird imposter syndrome about is writing about gay (male) experiences as a trans man. Like this is multiple internalized phobias talking at once but i always have felt slightly insecure about not being Equipped for that

going off socials as per the usual. if you know how to reach me then you know how to reach me. laterz

Game designers figured this out decades ago and it cost millions in failed launches. Will Wright built SimCity with a fully accurate traffic simulation. Testers hated it. The cars behaved realistically, which meant nobody could build a functioning city because real traffic is an unsolvable nightmare. He had to make the simulation dumber before the game became fun. The tension is permanent: the more accurately you model a system, the more it punishes the participant. Real medieval economies kept 90% of the population in subsistence farming. A historically accurate fantasy world doesn't produce heroes. It produces serfs. Tolkien solved this by making his economy deliberately vague. No one knows what a gold coin buys in Gondor. That ambiguity is a design choice, not a shortcut. The Reddit post is funny. The lesson underneath it is one of the hardest problems in simulation design: fidelity and fun are opposing forces, and you have to pick which one wins.

new höhlengleichnis just dropped

A flythrough of the Episode 8 Mural to showing some of the real funky forced perspective I used

A diferença do episódio piloto pro episódio 8 é uma diferença ABSURDA de qualidade, olha a evolução disso

@ShikimaguraS @Hiding_n_Public "villages work but cities don't" is going to stick with me forever that's true as hell and hard as shit

@Hiding_n_Public A single person a has a "Give a fuck" limit towards 150 people. That's it. It's why villages work but cities don't. Social media forcing you to care about more than your immediate circle is meant to burn you out and make apathetic, letting corpos do whatever they want. Don't.

How do people cope with how evil everyone is? Like everyday for the last 4 years has been another level of psychological damage to my faith in mankind. Things get worse and worse, people openly, flagrantly lie and are rewarded. Narrative as reality, a postmodern hell

@transsexual1ty @Jaiydanimate this is not true and is very specific to the institution you are working at + location. many working class transgender people here have no access to formal care, and that's why we see so many gofundmes in the thousands of dollars. moving out of the west coast ruined my healthcare

@Jaiydanimate respectfully this is different in the USA. a janitor at a university can get everything covered through their insurance. the required documentation can be a handful but you don’t have to be rich to get those procedures in the USA.

When I say being able to get Breast Augmentation/Laser/Bottom surgery is a Rich privilege very few trans girls can afford I'm burnt at the stake for pointing out class inequalities (rich people hate being called rich, story of my life).

I need people to understand that about 60% of homeless people are employed but just don’t make enough to afford housing and that’s the real issue

Thank you for coming despite your camera shyness, Elli!

@jugwoos LUNA too!! they even changed Ravn's rapper tag to korean for it
