(they were like a half-stranger though so not worth fighting with or w/e so no worries)

i wouldve loved to share abt struggles together but they straight up started a dick measuring contest for no reason

i was chatting to someone on instagram who was talking about some struggles and then randomly hit me with the "but you've never felt pain so you wouldn't understand", and then when i said i've had depression since childhood, they said since it's "something natural", that means my life is "not hard"

A screenshot showing the new Lot Description feature. It shows a lot in build mode, with a new button in the top-left corner highlighted by the cursor. The new button reads "Edit Description." In the center of the screen, the new Lot Description window is open with a big editable text box.

We just released a small Tiny Life update that, among other things, adds the ability to write and share descriptions for your lots! 🏡✍️

A screenshot of a mail from Pokémon Emerald. The background is blue and pink with ornate patterns. The text reads: SHE BODY SLAM HER DRILL PECK INSIDE ME UNTIL I HOWL

I want you to know that this is possible with a vanilla copy of Pokémon Emerald.

(Happy April Fools, everyone!)

Finally Addressing Tiny Life's Gender Issue The month of April has finally arrived, and with the month, the developers’ realization: the developers have been going about inclusivity in Tiny Life all wrong. The developers’ goal to create and fos...

It's been requested many times, and now we're finally addressing Tiny Life's gender issue.

Read about it here: tinylifegame.com/posts/gender...

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already

Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults. For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves

Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.

When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.

This is my trans agenda

lookin cute

as an added bonus, this screenshot also shows a long-standing depth rendering bug with roofs and walls

A screenshot of Tiny Life (an isometric low-resolution pixelart game) where three Tinies are sitting in a rec center: two adults and one child. The walls have a transgender pride flag, as well as a rainbow poster with a black fist hung on it. There are balloons with the transgender flag colors in the corner. One of the Tinies is wearing transgender flag face paint, while another one is wearing rainbow flag face paint.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, everyone!

We want Tiny Life to be a game where everyone can express themselves and their identity freely, including their gender, and feel safe and accepted.

❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️

Happy transgender day of visibility, everyone! i say this a lot but i want to reiterate that i want all my socials & projects to be a safe space for trans people ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

aaw thanks so much!! 🥰

like some people will be like "oh the low-res pixelart isn't really my thing" which is totally fine and super reasonable!! not every artstyle is for everyone. but some people are talking about how the style is like, objectively bad or lower "quality"

"are you planning on adding more advanced graphics to the game" are you planning on maybe not being so dismissive about my cute pixelart that i poured ages into 😭

i know i shouldnt let it get to me but i occasionally get feedback on tiny life that is like "wow the graphics are so basic i hope you make higher-res textures in the future" and like ?? bro making low-res pixelart is reaLLY DIFFICULT DO YOU THINK I DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S EASIER OR SOMETHIN ???

wanna spend $2.49 on sOME WALL SOCKETS???

how is this where the game ended up, yall

three more months and then hopefully, maybe, paralives can fill the sims-shaped explosion crater in my heart

also sorry creators only earn THIRTY PERCENT?? even though they fully make all the content??

come on

"moola allows us to bypass international laws around shopfronts and the purchase of products" thank you i'm so glad

like it's so cool that you're allowing community members to sell their own creations on your platform, but WHY would you introduce a second layer of currency for it whose only point is that it's non-refundable

i'd already been struggling to still enjoy sims 4 - a game that used to be such a profoundly safe space for me - over the last few months with the whole *capitalism debacle* happening last year, but now that they're releasing the most predatory form of microtransactions for it ... i'm just so tired

i feel like sometimes people assume that because i haven't posted a video or gone live in a while that im just sitting on my ass not doing anything. and theyre right

"i brewed this cup especially for you" no you DIDN'T BREWSTER, i can see it in a siphon right next to you going bitter because it's being kept hot constantly!! why u lying

like i dont understand. would the goal of this just be that i let them use my computer and then they steal my personal data? or like, blackmail me? what is the point of this
