nothing settlement lmao

i don't know about you but generally when i cancel a company's subscription, i'm not very interested in getting their services for free

me too 😌

lmao is this art in the room with us right now

the world would be so much better if we stopped worrying about being judged for things that really don't matter. and when everyone involved is an adult, liking a drawing from someone who also posts sexual drawings is like... literally who the fuck cares lmao

it's not an upsetting statement to me, i just don't really see how this is enough of a problem to go tell the artist about it.

simply share the post and say "oh careful sometimes they draw spicy stuff lol"

(unless you're under 18 or sharing art to people who are, in which case yeah fair enough)

they love using us to justify literally anything 🧡

this sentence goes harder than it needs to

misery index, the song from space warlord organ trading simulator

this is also why many "become" (read: realize they are) trans through proximity with other trans people.

i didn't even know what self-actualization *was* before i made trans friends (some i met, some were long time friends who transitioned), or that it was even an option.

i was just whatever i had

that one merriweather comic about the spacetime explorer who ends up trapped in "humanity's perfect future" is exactly what i see whenever someone i know, and i know to be smart, starts using AI

that shit is a trap, you're trading your literal mind for a small boost in convenience and productivity

The best game we saw at GDC 2026 was this gorgeous Metroidvania about cool swords At Fate's End has the juice

me with my trans-flag menu color scheme and my player card that reads "trans rights" and "acab", on my way to play the lesbian NOISZ song after having finished the song about how THEY TAKE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF WHAT YOU PRODUCE THE SMALL BIT YOU GET IS LESS THAN YOU USE

but at least it's not woke!

the curtains sure are blue

my sub-500 review banger has gotta be NOISZ: store.steampowered.com/app/681530/N...

very fun shmup rhythm game. strongly recommend if you like either genre. absolute banger soundtrack.

IGN's review of unbeatable is super interesting. it's wild to see what some people consider to be padding

"it takes itself too seriously" is also a phrase i've come to associate with illiteracy. "no, stop, don't be sincere! please, be more ironic! please, no thought or meaning! only entertainment!"

A PS Vita playing the song “RE-TUNED” by UNBEATABLE

My “eccentric Portland author” trait is, I guess, walking around down with my headphones plugged into this thing in my skirt pocket

...
with each section changing which "side" of the fight you have to focus on.

(the main other inspiration being the DS version of The World Ends With You, with its split-attention combat system that i've always found fascinating. and extremely fitting for a musical combat system)

reading magica riot made me think this combat system concept, where one hand is playing the "support" drum and bassline while the other hand is playing the "dps" guitar and vocals.

hitting combos takes you through the parts of a typical song structure, intro / verse / chorus / solo / bridge,
...

the part of me that is not currently working on a game while at a day job where i also work on games REALLY wants to make this game

ok so to sum it up

xenoblade 3 is a game about this straight boy
and his wife (who has an ex gf)
and his wife's girlfriend
and his wife's girlfriend's girlfriend (who has a wife)
and his wife's girlfriend's girlfriend's best friend
and his wife's girlfriend's girlfriend's best friend's husband

there's no space to make A Multiplayer Game anymore. every game must be either The Multiplayer Game, or it is cancelled.

i'm sure highguard could do fine as a niche hit, with a matchmaking discord and dedicated servers. but today's industry would rather delete a game forever than let it be small.

i can't bring her back. so my current self owes it to her to live authentically, though it's not as easy as it would have been had she just... been allowed to exist in the first place.

but then again, that "her" would have been a different "me".

(2am identity struggle posting is so fun yippeeeee)

when i listen to it from my perspective, i can't relate to the idea of "she killed him". violently replacing a past self.

for me, the violence is in what my past self did to the me that could have been, had she gotten to live.

even though that's not AT ALL the actual meaning of the song.
...

i understand what ego renegade boy is about. i'm not here to take that away from anyone

but god. from a "transfem who repressed for like a decade" perspective, some of these lyrics...

banger song, tyvm flavor foley for the identity crisis. even though i'm not *fully* your intended audience.

...

the nice thing about french is that grammatical gender applies when talking about yourself in the first person so you can gender yourself correctly

the bad thing about french is that grammatical gender applies when talking about yourself in the first person so you have to misgender yourself

i'm going to go against the grain here and say "if you cancelled your nitro sub in protest over the age verification thing, you should resubscribe so that you can unsubscribe again when they try again"

(unless you don't want to be subscribed, of course.)
