Tales from the Tabletop! Raise your hand if you have a character whose world has been shattered, is running on roughly no sleep in 36 hours, is in the midst of a panic attack, and just accidentally slaughtered a group of innocent people due to the force of his arrogance alone so is now traumatised!

I hate when autistic hyper fixation brain, autistic writer's brain, and a can of monster for breakfast meet. It doesn't lead to anything productive, just really cracked out Deltarune theories.

It just makes me realise more and more that I need therapy. Yet no matter where I turn or ask, it's just "nah, group sessions where you're all boiled down to the same, single issue."

I've always just kinda been someone who floated through life with no real understanding of who they really want to be as a while, usually making massive, life changing decisions in the moment. Maybe that's why I've never been able to focus on anything for longer than a year.

"Tupac's estate" is not run by his family. It's run by some greedy corporate demon who seized it after his mother's death. In fact, his sister, who SHOULD be the owner/executor/etc of the estate, has apparently been trying to sue him for embezzlement. So "approved by his estate" is just PR bullshit

News article with a headline stating "Tupac Shakur's sister sues executor of rapper's estate for embezzlement. Sekyiwa Shakur alleges that Tom Whalley "unreasonably enriched himself" with $5.5 million from record label founded by Tupac's late mother Afeni"

One of the best things I noticed at #UKGE was the immense number of artists and vendors with an anti-AI sign at their booth. I adhered to it inadvertently, but definitely only ever buying from anyone with that sign at cons from now on.

I honestly didn't NEED to make this post, again, I'm kind of a nobody, but seeing someone say "all artists bad, don't consume or get over it" really just irked me. And we all know I got no impulse control.

It is me actively aware that I'm going to see work from someone who may or may not be problematic, and that may or may not mark me as an individual that's also problematic. And I'ma need to accept that.

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

As for the Gooseworx thing... I'm white, I got no horse in this race. It is for me to listen to the voices of those who ARE affected and then judge what I think a correct action is from there. But for now, I do indeed have a TADC ticket. If things change drastically, I may rescind it, but for now...

100

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

You wanna just mindlessly consume problematic media? Either accept that you're gonna make enemies of someone or some group, or get off the internet. Complaining that people won't just let you be... well, again, coming from the Right-Wing side is fucking rich for one.

100

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

You can't just sweep their issues under a rug and say "not my problem" if the person is continuously going to be a problem. You gotta accept that as long as you support them and what they have done, you are enabling it, whether actively or not. You can't escape that actions have consequences.

100

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Yes. In this life where 99% of people are going to have done problematic shit, most likely in our younger days, everyone is gonna have baggage. Some of them you can change from and others where... well I already mentioned TERFling, she's gonna go to her grave being a bigot... God I hope it's soon

100

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

If we weren't already in an age where people want to eschew culpability of supporting other people's actions already, that is PEAK "I'm blameless in and just want to like things". Which is hilarious because it seems like a very Right-Wing take and, oh look, JKR's name is being thrown around. WEIRD!

100

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Rant from a nobody; Seeing takes on the Gooseworx controversy as a way to try and scapegoat or otherwise escape blame from other artists' issues. The wildest take I've seen being "every artist is an asshole so just let me consume without consequence". Which I believe there in lies the problem.

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

You know, I was thinking of playing FFVI again lately... Now it has to be with the Caveat that Hironobu Sakaguchi is an AI pig shill. Which is funny because a main point of VI is nature versus technology fucking it over!

But for now. I'm just gonna have to fight back as best I can. I got a brain calmed by meds and a black hole in my gut numbed by CBD gummies and that's literally it. Plus I've had the most stressful time lately so that's eh too.

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Still gonna pal around with my friends when I can, but, this? Nah. This is over. If in three or so months you get a "BenVSA is streaming" notification, well A, fuck me, you're actually following? And B, eh, will see what happens.

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Yeah, it's very demoralising. So, fuck it! I give in to the machine. I'm on benefits because I'm not receiving any help and am therefore not getting any better. If people find that lazy or offensive, good news! Block button is free~

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Is this me giving into the notion that I need more help than I'm ever likely to receive? Again, yeah kinda. But I mean, fuck it. I can only do so much by myself, and when I keep getting turned down for help I so desperately need because I have to ask for therapy and they say "we don't do BPD..."

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

For those people who can or choose to do that... well, fuck, props to you and I hope you do well. But I'm fucking 35, I have the mental stability of basement light that's just hanging there in a horror movie. Shit ain't getting easier and I ain't getting younger.

Ben VSA @benvsa.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

I think my rant a month or two ago really laid out a lot of the problems I have with streaming and the issue that smaller creators have to claw their way to get a modicum of light or respect put on them. Or, y'know, pay their own money to do it.

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?
