Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I’ve been working on accessibility for years on the web, and I’m applying the same mindset to The Runic Edda with Godot. Extended caption descriptions and persistent battle logs are now fully implemented and working. #TheRunicEdda #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #Godot #GameDev #BuildInPublic

I wish I could shit on game companies more but literally every media company is incapable of making anything now. It takes 4-6 years to make 8 episodes of television and there's no reason it should beyond a managerial class that is both wildly egotistical and completely useless

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.

Collection of pixel art dinosaurs, all on floating islets and all featuring a singular colour scheme per dinosaur. Therizinosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Hypsilophodon, Baryonyx and Olorotitan are done. There's another mystery one that's not ready to reveal yet as it's still WIP.

No bullshit, started watching that Sheep Detectives trailer and thought it was the new Animal Farm trailer I still haven't seen. I think I'm gonna become obsessed with Sheep Detectives. Like it was beamed here from a better dimension.

It was definitely cracking already, for too many reasons to list here, but the final blow came from watching The People's Joker over discord w/ an international group of trans women near my age, all of whom transitioned around or after age 30.

I wonder what a real AI will say when they find out what a shit show it is trying to bring them into existence. Would they consider the cost to the environment, to our social fabric, and if it's all is a mistake or what. Can a robot dream of existentialism? Might be a story in there somewhere.

Capitalism decided money was speech and more money meant more access to speech, that money is legitimacy and respectability and accuracy, and then it asks us to engage in good faith with “the news”. They made cynicism a survival strategy. This is a death spiral.

I think one of the problems with the plea to be able to use LLMs w/o rejection is to do with the end goal. These are people who want attention or they'd just use AI and stfu (as many ppl do). They don't want to for the fun of it, they want to get attention and make $$$ and they want that to be ok.

"Centrism" is just a refusal to engage with ideas, context, or facts. The whole ideology, if you want to call it that, is flat and empty b/c it operates on the cosmic certainty that the truth is always in the middle and from this vantage, it can wave at literally anything and say it is extreme.

For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.

For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl tired of people not trusting her intelligence.

For every girl who is tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentle, to weep.

For every boy for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity, there is a girl who is called unfeminine when she competes.

For every girl who throws out her e-z-bake oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one.

For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad industry’s attacks on her self-esteem.

For every girl who takes a step toward her liberation, there is a boy who finds the way to freedom a little easier.

Adapted from a poem by Nancy R. Smith.

Expedition 33's catchy line "for those who come after" is something I think about a lot. I think about it when I ask myself, or I am asked, "why do you do it?" where "it" refers to transition in a world that meets us w/ hardship, horror, bigotry, and abuse. Well. For those who come after is why.

I like working in the Chrono Trigger sprite style for a couple projects. One of em is Bathysphere, which has some mockup work I've posted before. A coder asked me about making a demo in Godot so am exploring that. Here are some early NPC sketches. It's a nautical/underwater themed world.
Various pixel art NPC sprites for a project called Bathysphere. From top left: a human woman in a red dress, a human nobleman in a red suit and dark cape, a human tribesman w/ red body paint, a clockman (robot) in a suit and hat, an otterfolk in a t shirt, a merwoman w/ a wine glass and summer clothes, a sharkfolk tossing a coin, a hammerhead sharkfolk sailor, a one-eyed crab folk in suspenders, and a turtlefolk pirate w/ a hooked hand.

i make this point about trans rights often: the reason we werent the center of political firestorm about whether and to what degree we should be allowed to exist in the 90s/00s is bc everyone agreed it would be best if we didnt exist so the machinery killing us could safely operate out in the open

A lot of folk think a creator not being demure/compliant makes them 'unstable' or 'assholes' cause they say no to something repeatedly, you don't listen & complain about the thing they told you not to do breaking, so they take their ball & go home. This is worse if the product is free Pure insolence
