Battle 01

it’s the best one! of course Dark Souls 1 is a masterpiece but 2 is just magic; the sequel that cranks everything up and tries all of the ideas that were too ambitious for the first game. and it worked, DS2 ran so that Elden Ring could fly

It makes for a space where everyone is a loud anarcho-communist except when it actually fucking matters, because of course, in a space that is still ruled by white imperials with capital, that would mean actually having to antagonize the people who tend to have most power.

Peak performance here means cashing out on every ounce of social capital you can reap from any sort of marginalized label that applies to you, while being Super Positive All The Time and making sure to only support X or Y action or political position when you know it's safe to do so.

...involves not "representation" or "cultural sensitivity" but actual empowerment, available knowledge, and infrastructure, in the imperial core, that can actually weaponize us down here to create and sell games in spite of the oppression coming both from within the space and from governments.

My nuanced take of TTRPGs is that this space is absolutely poisoned with the performativity US liberals so we from the global south are never gonna get the recognition and support we deserve if we don't divest from D&D and the cultural devices bound to it. That real solidarity across borders...

People don't like to hear this but I believe even in a world where AI was never invented, so, so much of our media is still vapid and empty and making us dumber in the same way AI does, just more slowly. I don't wanna abolish this shit just to return to a fucking Mr Beast status quo, I want good art

xena x alien resurrection. do you see my vision

basically everyone is lonely & underappreciated, go ahead n send that random nice message or post about something you love

the covers for Fujitsu's Free Software Collection disks from the 90s were perfect

REFLECTION

someone in a diving suit (supposedly ecco the dolphin designer, ed annunziata), holding a controller in one hand and ecco the dolphin genesis game packaging in the other. on the ground is a miniature toy fishing boat. behind him is six large screens, showing ecco the dolphin in different parts. above him on the wall is a pointy nose fish. water is on the ground. text square at the top of the ad: w e l c o m e t o t h e n e x t l e v e l

Every other time you think of a culture-changing internet thing and wonder, hey, who came up with that, it turns out to have been a trans woman who died 5-10 years ago from not being able to afford a doctor.

Your favorite catchphrase or pride flag was made off the dome by someone who sank beneath the surface, and never managed to swim back up for air.

at the end of the day, what I cannot escape noticing here is how a lot of white people are discoursing about whether people of color were right to try to negotiate for better pay and were right to expect better communication. whiteness loves to close ranks and with love to my sibs, some of you are.

wild take to say “no but these queer people of colour were actually lucky to get that job and should've been paid less”

but what do I know? I don't make a living off TTRPGs so maybe exploitation/abuse of a historically exploited/abused group of people is good actually.

Disappointing to see it end up like this but I feel like ultimately the takeaway most people will get from this situation is that everyone's favorite creator did nothing wrong and a bunch of mean journalists and people with a fraction of her following attacked her for no reason

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

those power cables are so awesome they look like space invaders

Do you even love her if your not filled with an uncontrollable lust whenever she infodumps

Aura Battler Dunbine: A painting depicts a large, insect-like mecha in white armor with translucent wings plunging a glowing red sword into a green reptilian dragon. The mecha stands atop the dragon's neck as the creature recoils with its mouth open. In the bottom right corner, two smaller armored knights with shields and swords stand on stone stairs, witnessing the battle within a dark, cavernous setting.

I have come for you

Sorry I forgot that a MADE-UP FANTASY REALITY had to be 100% historical accurate. That's my bad. I forgot Merlin was real and explored crashed UFOs.

Honestly egg on my face for thinking TTRPGs are not historical documentation of definitely medieval europe where treasure chests are alive & eat you.
