No 'Suffering Olympics', here btw.

It can be rough for average folk raised within the walls of this normativity, not knowing that there's anything else, and not being able to properly see if there is without risking being cut off from their base.

Aggressively queer safe spaces benefit everyone.

How to use your imagination

When your party stays at the Inn overnight,
what do they eat?

If you ever catch yourself wondering that then
you know you’ve formed an attachment to
your characters.

With Etrian Odyssey’s characters, you only give them a name and a portrait,
so no matter how you think of the  character it’s technically just your imagination.
But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing.

For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare
hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and
fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... if you can imagine small
details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more.

The essense is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if
you invest those “numbers” with your own feelings, you can spice up the game
little. Think about this:

In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they
only have a couple of HP left and no TP. They’re certain to die in their next
turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but
how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2
characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief
time before your game ends.

Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who’ll die facing the enemy and laughing?
Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath?

The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it
could play out very differently.

The game itself isn’t that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much
more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic
and fun situations in your own minds.

Been thinking about the use of imagination in video games lately, or how I feel there are few and increasingly fewer games that ask the player to use their imagination to engage with them.

This post Kazuya Niinou wrote to accompany Etrian Odyssey often comes to mind so I decided to remake it.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

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.

Genuinely give AuDHD people basic income and housing, give them a bit to settle into their routines and recover from the trauma of survival, and then be ready to see shit pop the fuck off

This is HUGE accessibility issue! Screen readers cannot decipher tags without capitals, and it can also be difficult on people with dyslexia!

We need to push Bluesky to fix this

not directly related to the issue of oversimplification but my policy with terminology is to first figure out what a thing actually is and then figure out what people in the world *think* about it and always base names on the latter and i've generally been satisfied with the results so far

A three-part red sigil stylized after Command Seals from Fate/Stay Night. This one features a design that is intended to resemble both the sun and moon. The central piece resembles a crescent moon tilted sideways slightly with a single ray of light shooting upwards. The other two pieces are symmetrical sets of light rays beneath the central piece, emanating downwards like sunlight. Taken as a whole, the design is also meant to have a slight resemblance to an eye, especially when viewed upside down.

A three-part red sigil stylized after Command Seals from Fate/Stay Night. This one is more chaotic and intricate than the other two. The design on the whole resembles a butterfly — the left and right pieces are symmetrical wings composed of curved lines that branch and intersect to form a winglike shape. The center piece is a vertical line with two pairs of thorns jutting out near the top, which resembles the body of a butterfly but could also be interpreted as something akin to a wand.

every person who worked on unbeatable (including many trans people) gets a cut of the game and it also supports the studio which helps us keep them hired

so basically buy your trans friends unbeatable to kill three birds with one forbidden ultimate move
