Massive titles with 4K textures and shrinking horse balls only benefit the guy who complains about Cloud's hair being dry when he gets out of water, and that guy WILL find a reason to complain no matter how much you pamper them.

These are some very early screenshots from Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. There's lots of new stuff and many other locations, including 3D dungeons, but these seem to capture the game's aesthetic and atmosphere for me. #ScreenshotSaturday #CRPG #DungeonCrawler

Game design meme for me and maybe three other people on this site.
Guy looking at random encounters: "Wow! RPGs are grindy!"
Text overhead: "Random encounters help ensure that the the play experiences combat at regular intervals instead of avoiding fights and ending up underpowered, increasing the risk of quitting entirely."

In the prototype version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario and Luigi would have needed to electrocute a living mouse for all eternity to solve a puzzle. This was changed in the finished version to a toy mouse, likely due to the original being absurdly cruel.
In the finished version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there is a puzzle in the Woohoo Hooniversity basement whereby an electric circuit must be completed using mechanical toy mice as conductors:
Mario must fill himself with water, which Luigi shoots out with a hammer to push the mouse into the circuit, completing it:
After this, for the rest of the game, going back to that room shows the mouse continuing to be electrocuted as it is now permanently part of the circuit.
This is completely fine since the mouse is a toy.
However, in the prototype version of the game, the mice are clearly living animals, being shown to eat cheese when they stop moving:
Now, Mario and Luigi are completing an electric circuit by electrocuting a real animal.
This means that for the rest of the game, the circuit is completed via the mouse's body, meaning it is a real animal being electrocuted eternally.
The cruelty of this is so absurd that it was likely removed for this reason.

A dejected man puts his hand on his head and says "jeez, my 9/11 novelty shirts just aren't selling like they used to." Next to him is a shirt that says "6-7, 9-11" with the twin towers being held by hands doing the 6-7 weighing gesture." He observes another man successfully selling t-shirts and says "The Charlie Kirk guy is raking it in." The shirt he is selling depicts Charlie Kirk as Aang from Avatar The Last Airbender. The caption is "Counting or not counting Aang Violence."

The technopocalypse fearmongering comes from the same place as the technoutopia boosting: a fervent belief that if you math hard enough, you can make 2+2=5. Advancements in AI have mostly come in the form of throwing more compute power at it. Runaway self-improvement isn't really possible that way.

One of the things that also pisses me off is that in a vacuum, this technology is value-neutral. It's development in conjunction with the profit motive is what causes the worst aspect of it to manifest. The problem is not the technology itself, but is and has always been Capitalism.

I hate to do this but I'm drowning and reaching out for help is my only choice now. Explanation w/ Alt text in the screenshots. If you want to help out an impoverished trans woman stay off the street and have the means to do so, I'll be so grateful💛🏳️‍⚧️ paypal.me/NicholasJabb... cash.app/$JulietStMoon
@everyone **PLEASE READ THIS NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISMISSING**

I absolutely loathe to do this, but I need some financial help and I'm out of options. Here are my pay links in order of preference. Any amount that you are willing to give without putting yourself in financial danger helps. Following below will be an explanation: 
* https://paypal.me/NicholasJabbour
* https://cash.app/$JulietStMoon

Some of you know I lost my job back in June due to what was effectively legalized discrimination against me based on illness and my transness in a Southern state. The timing couldn't be worse because I was already financially slipping and struggling to find a cheaper apartment to alleviate the strain. And on top of that, I just couldn't find work at all for over a month. No one in the South was willing to hire a trans woman, let alone with a wage high enough to pay my bills and feed me.

As a desperate gambit, I withdrew what little 401K deposit I had and moved up north to a state that, if nothing else, wouldn't be actively hostile to my existence. With the hopes that I could weather the initial instability, find a job and housing, and eventually settle in.

It has now been a month since I moved. My money is completely gone and I have neither long term housing nor a job despite my best efforts. My bank account is in the negative, I'm drowning in debt that's been building for years, I have multiple unpaid bills that absolutely need to be paid for my own safety and sustainability, and I need food and medication, of which I have neither. And this airbnb I rented for a month (which is absolutely bare minimum; I don't even have kitchen access outside the microwave and fridge) runs out on the 24th.

(Please continue)The good news is I did secure 2 job interviews after all this time, one tomorrow for a part time job about 40 minutes from here, and another Tuesday for a more practical full time job in my current town. However as it stands, I literally don't have enough money for gas to get to tomorrow morning's interview, and I absolutely CAN'T miss it as it's the first real callback I got after applying to dozens of jobs, including going door to door in my town. I can make this work, but I NEED to buy more time, and I lack the money to do it. And that's why I'm asking for help. 

I appreciate anything anyone can offer more than you can possibly know. Below are rough estimates of how much money I need and when. How far I will continue to need help depends on how quickly I get hired 
## Expenses I need paid tonight (2026-09-06)
* $50– Tank of Gas (I'm almost empty and I need get to and from interview tomorrow morning)
* $50– Dinner tonight and meals tomorrow (have not eaten since this morning)
* **$100 total**
## Expenses I need paid by the end of tomorrow (2026-09-07)
* $50– medication that I'm annoyingly running out of all at the exact same time after tomorrow (including my blood pressure meds, which I do not want to risk skipping).
* $100– Grocery shopping (not sure how long this will last, but I'll have time to actually do so and greatly reduce how much money i need to spend on food daily, even if i am limited to the fridge the microwave and I'll be as economical as possible)
* $10– Laundromat and possible cost of street parking as I drive to these interviews (this is a rough estimate; hopefully it'll be less)
* **$160 total**

(Please continue)## Expenses I ideally need paid by the end of the week (2026-09-12)
* $60– Overdue car insurance payment (it was due the 1st)
* $100– Overdue storage unit (it was also due the 1st and has what few belongings I was able to stuff in my car when I moved. It's out of state and my plan is to pay it off and move all the belongings to a much more local unit that's dramatically cheaper) 
* $80– Replace a flat tire (my car is currently on a donut and it's unlikely my flat tire can be patched)
* $150– Get my overdrawn checking and overmaxed credit card back in passable standing
* **$390 total**
## Further expenses throughout the month
I will continue to need money for groceries, though I don't have a number yet. And I'll need money for a place to stay after the 24th (this airbnb was the cheapest I could find in the area and it cost $1139 for a month for context, but I can also rent cheaper shorter term places that will hopefully bridge me over until I get a job started and get myself back a float in general. I have way more expenses and debts to pay including a maxed out credit card and a loan and medical bills, but those can all be pushed back so I rather not put that on you.

Point is, every bit you are willing to help me with AND WITHOUT PUTTING YOURSELF IN FINANCIAL DANGER will be so so helpful to me.

I'm really sorry to ask for help. I hate doing it. I want to be the saint and not the sainted as much as I can help. But I'll try my best to not doom over that and accept whatever you can offer if you wish. Please and thank you so much.

Discussion of timers makes me extremely angry cuz gamers will love them in some games and completely dismiss them in others just because they're conveyed more bluntly/in a more basic manner. Not being able to look at the actual effect they have and instead focusing on presentation
