The Multiplayer Experience #sts2

like come on, why do you want them to kiss so much! but as a BL enjoyer and shipper in fandoms I also get it. im happy ppl are reading this series, including the bl enjoyers who wants romance.

...but yea pls lemme have my aroace gay ship i'll support your other gay ships too i promise /silly

im just projecting because im aroace. the way some people think that because the label and words are different the relationship isn't canon/valid feels too close to people questioning my relationships.

so everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinions and interpretations. but people somehow sad/worried that hikaru and yoshiki won't have a love confession in the typical romantic way and thus are not canon makes me a little sad because it's like the aspec parts of the manga is being denied.

OK, after a reinstall of my OS, I got waydroid working properly and ~~technically~~ I could run HSR/Genshin on my laptop, but somehow I'm less willing to get that to work now. I wouldn't have keyboard controls, but I think having waydroid installed isn't a bad thing. Linux is pretty great.

A photo of a novel titled Riambel by Priya Hein. It has a yellow cover with a colorful painting of tropical plants.

Priya Hein's novel examines Mauritius' colonial past and impact through the eyes of a 15-year-old Creole girl whose mother worked as a servant at a luxurious beach house. I love the cover art by Mila Gupta, beautiful and alluding to "things that no tourist postcards would share." #Booksky

Why is it that under small aspec content creators videos, I get weird recommendations for Trump-supporter-everything-is-too-woke contents? 💀💀

Quit acting like Japan is some uwu underdog with no history of imperialism that seeps into some of the art that they make. It's weird.

FISHING AND SELF REFLECTIONS does not have a fishing minigame because it is a fishing *game*!!

This game was made for the #GoneFishingGameJam!

A photo of a book titled Fire in Every Direction: a Memoir by Tareq Baconi. The book cover is yellow and depicts a colorful painting of a man sitting on a sofa with his hand on his head. The wall behind him is covered by floral wallpaper. His body looks like it is covered by splatters of colorful paint.

A great memoir by queer Palestinian scholar and activist Tareq Baconi. The tale of his queer awakening, alternating with his family history that started in their displacement in 1948 Nakba, became a foundation for his political awakening in Palestinian cause. "The personal is political." #Booksky

Every time a comic platform that doesn't provide DRM-free backups of their comics shut down, I just can't help but think that piracy is more reliable, and the only reliable way to support the author and artists are just DRM-free ebooks and physical books.

Discovering tape for chest binding is such a game changer for me. I'm impressed by what people with bigger chests can do with it, and I'm still figuring out taping with cheap 5cm kinesiology tape.

I have a copy from when you uploaded a digital version on itch.io. I never got the physical version sadly, but it was such a delight to see the little differences you've made in this version.

Thank you to everyone who has bought/downloaded a copy!! I really appreciate the support since TCM is out of print and its previous publisher bailed me on the royalties they owe before their dissolution. Hopefully one day TCM will find a better fate!! 🙏

I have 1 android phone with a broken screen that I use via scrcpy but the controls are kinda weird for Genshin/HSR 😂.

I'm probably still not going to pick up WuWa but maybe I'll look into the plot? I decided to only watch Genshin/HSR playthroughs because getting them to work on Linux has been more frustrating than fun. WuWa is at least on Steam and that's how I play Morimens/Reverse...

I remember WuWa plot being a bit meh, and my computer is a potato, and I was busy, so I never played WuWa. But the graphics look pretty and Cantarella and Zani are gorgeous.

We're one participant away from 20in the #GoneFishingGameJam!! If you'd like to take part in a chill game jam themed around fishing, be sure to sign up through the link! Starts March 27th and ends April 3rd!

That includes self-hosted sites/neocities/github pages.

Hey, I didn't know some of these places - thanks for spreading the word!! I'm always looking for places people host their webcomics.

If you'd like to help the indie community, support the people over at Comic Fury, Spider Forest, Comic Rocket, Webcomic Library, Webcomic Travelogue, Comix Cleric- and many more. Check out those places for webcomic resources and to keep things creator owned. That was the whole point of webcomics.

I'm just checking back into gacha space and looking at all the pretty anime 3D models. Why is the non-anime wuthering heights popping up on my searches on what's going on with WuWa T_T

Too many people have conflated parasocial relationships with "having empathy for someone you've never met" and then do this try-hard edgy thing where they flaunt their lack of care.

I don't know how to explain that you should care about other people. Especially people you don't personally know.

Happy aromantic awareness week 🤍🤍🤍

Happy aro awareness hey do you ever think about how there's been a boom in aro ace stories in East Asian cultures because they're really good at discussing and expressing something that's not always tangible and demonstrable. That mastery of internal conflict pairs naturally with aro ace stories-

uuu chest binding with tape is actually nice? And I can keep this on for 3 days :0 I like how I look like with tape more than with binders.

We are finally here. The Sweet.
