so much for my feel-good post about 5 years since i started speedrunning minecraft 😭
idk bluesky is just a better platform anyway where there aren't the same monsters for me to say the things to that got me suspended, but the user base never sticks here in sufficient numbers, especially for mcsr

i didn't think good news was possible anymore

the latest windows update just broke my laptop 😭
i'm on reading week and have a break from classes but i can't stream anyways because i literally can't launch obs + a bunch of other problems
i hate microsoft
how did they think this was an acceptable thing to put out???

at this point the tech and social media corporations are just dancing on the corpses of human thought and social connection in the wide open, saying fuck you, you have no power, we want to ruin everything, we will isolate you and make dead internet theory real, there is nothing you can do about it

at this point i wonder if all these corporations who are pushing ai are deliberately making it as creepy and repulsive as humanly possible
copying my usage of specifically the purple heart and the sob emoji, increasingly complex responses, and MAKING STUFF UP THAT IS OBJECTIVELY FALSE

1.8 any% ssg 2:39 (2nd place) choke YouTube video by nova

so uh this was the biggest choke of my 5 year long speedrunning career by far
pain and despair

[pb, 7th overall... again] 1.8 any% ssg in 3:02.474 YouTube video by nova

finally an ssg pb! 7th place isn't half bad for a first completion i think youtu.be/QplHPduyrxU

this probably isn't that earth shattering considering i've been out as trans for over 4 years now (saying i was nonbinary) but uh i should probably clarify it anyways
i'm actually a trans woman i think
hi :)

i feel like having said this, people are gonna think my voice is fake now 😭 i personally will not be doing this, if my voice sounds a bit unnatural that's just how it is idk
and at the moment it's still pretty obvious that i'm trans from it anyways i think

it is fully moral for any trans person who does not want to out themselves and face associated risks with the ranked playoffs "media day" (or anyone who doesn't want their voice to be known for that matter) to use a really good, undetectable voice changer

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

there is no escape

i don't fully understand how it works and if it's always the case but at least in general iirc

i saw one minecraft speedrunner on twitter who replied to this palantir nvidia announcement but like
is anybody else in the community even aware

its actually terrifying though
i don't think mcsr realizes how easily we could be wiped off the map we catch the attention of the wrong people and they notice that we tend to be fairly progressive and also an enclave of relative safety for trans people amidst an incredibly hostile internet

like i'm at less risk as a canadian while america hasn't invaded us yet but even im wondering like, i might have to replace my laptop relatively soon, do i have to get an amd gpu so if america does invade, palantir can't help them bomb wherever i'm living as easily
is that a real calculation 😭

the fact that there's a potential reality, where immigrants and trans people and people from the right's other outgroups who speedrun minecraft may have less functional preemptive nav on average, because it actively endangers them more to use nvidia gpus instead of amd, is like
what do you even say

That thing where your paper gets bought out by a hedge fund famous for destroying newsrooms and all the real journalists leave and you are so terrified of having to pay what you owe in taxes so that society can exist you endorse a serial sexual harasser.

i agree
