samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026and yeah the decades of delay is just totally unacceptable, i wonder how much of this is due to the lack of income tax 110
samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026oh interesting, it’s been a bit since i looked at these proposals. i really wish ballard rail went past gasworks instead, that area will still be totally inaccessible in favor of … running light rail to the interbay golf course i guess 😭 110

samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026i mean to be fair it’s a lot easier to add another station to a line than it is to send light rail to ballard. but for a *quarter of a billion dollars* i’d really rather they build a station people would actually use in a place zoned for any sort of density 120

samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026btw they couldn't build anything there even if they wanted to, all of the light yellow (single-family homes) and brown (lowrise/midrise) in this map is only zoned for residential usage. the tiny scraps of orange and red are the only places you can have stores www.arcgis.com/apps/mapview... 120

samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026how do you feel comfortable knowing that you are unable to play a game in a way that preserves the core of its experience, for any reason? how do you cope with being left out? does it matter if the creator of a game which is inaccessible to you is a zero-budget single dev vs a huge corporation? 020
samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026which sort of alterations to a game preserve “the experience”? is there a way to identify those alterations ahead of time? when are players creating a new game rather than playing an existing one within the constraints of their abilities? 110
samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026the discussion i want to have instead: what happens to a game when you alter its mechanics? what are you doing if you play a game and skip some parts? how does that change your experience and the way you understand the game’s narrative? 230

samantha porter bridges @16kbps.net · 29/09/2026it’s probably a lot harder to follow the nested footnotes when you can’t visually scan a page at a glance. and what is house of leaves if not technically challenging to read? 120
