One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

it's so cool how the zombified remains of twitter are basically just new school 4chan and so many people will still causally use it like that isn't the case. like sincerely, my respect for people I know continuing to use it dwindles every time despicable news comes out of there. get off that site

I think it's pretty neat that one of the legit breakout indie success stories this year is a game about painstakingly designing and sewing opulent ballgowns store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

i will join in the discourse because i actually do have strong opinions about random encounters in games lol

aly ☕ a bit of THIS & THAT @straylize.starlost.cc · 28/09/2026

i fundamentally disagree with the idea that disliking the way random encounters are set up means i don't think a game is fun or don't enjoy the combat because i think it does miss the point about what a lot of people DON'T like about them, sorry.

lrp kind of just reminds me of how MAD people would get at me back on the other site when i'd say [x fandom] fans cannot READ. because yeah, a lot of people are reading and hearing the basic words. and then picking up none of the subtext, foreshadowing, or semblance of nuance presented

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

see, the problem with free classing in fire emblem is that i am always tempted to take the dumbest option just because it's funny rather than it's effective. which is to say i am absolutely thinking about nonsense like "okay but what if.... troubadour majide"

my favorite kind of scam call is when i get a voicemail at work from someone who claims to be from a company (always says the company name too fast), saying we owe money (never gives any invoice information) and that we should call them back (always gives a number listed on spambot sites)

really good post that i really need everyone to absorb

tumblr text post by spiribia: I think it's fine if somebody describes a piece of media as life changing and earth shattering and bone shaking and it doesn't do much for you. I don't think the person who said that owes you an apology or anything. that's just the nature of people being different people

it's so annoying when i really like a series but the PR is just endlessly infuriating and alientaes huge portions of their own fans. wada's "it was too much work" is just the latest installment of it, and there will undoubtedly be people who defend that train of thought

"test voice lines" is so funny because - they were dubbed - there is a bunch of other text that supported the idea of this romance, including alternate slink events, dungeon dialogue and whatnot for reversal/breaks anyway, hi, i'm overseas players who found this stuff in 2011 lmaooo

i'm on ch 7 of cai's route and honestly, i think my biggest issue with the game is that i don't love the gameplay loop BETWEEN maps with how often dialogue refreshes, the spaced out way you have to do stuff for blessings/support building and then bouncing back and forth w/the world map...

i am really enjoying the way the core systems of fw really do feel like "what if we took the systems of 3h and made them feel better and more cohesive" so it feels familiar but still really fresh and snappy. it feels like the right way to do a follow up in the same universe
