iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm trying out a new thing when I see people quote creeps like that: "What's the benefit in signal-boosting stuff like this?" Hoping I can hit that sweet spot where I'm not insta-blocked for being confrontational, but there's still a chance people might take a moment to think if they can answer it

explicitly to dehumanize women. Pass that along to whoever you're quoting it from and block them if they push back at all. How is it so hard for people not to talk like nazis? I swear.

If you're ever unsure, you can double check with me, I'll usually catch it. And if you're curious what the current context is, it's being used as a suffix to describe a certain fan art trend regarding a franchise I don't want to see people discussing to begin with, and it's a term mass shooters use

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 12h

I haven't really weighed in on the subject because I try not to do that, but quick PSA: When you encounter any new slang term you aren't familiar with, before you add it to your vocabulary you should always double check that it isn't a horrific slur coined by people who regularly murder the target.

I mean I'd certainly vote for you.

I was about to say that sounded like that episode, honestly.

And I need to emphasize that as many people are out there like me who have somehow managed to find a way to remain in this space after Things That Happened, there are countless others for whom the Things That Happened have proved too traumatic to ever push through to keep doing what they love/d

Note that I made this video after a hiatus from YouTube for several years following a promising beginning to a YouTube career, then struggled to keep going for years after that, specifically because of Things That Happened to Me in this space. This is all fucking relevant. It keeps happening.

Holy shit, in all this Jacob Geller discourse I forgot that I LITERALLY MADE A VIDEO called "Processing Problematic People" as a way to help people untangle that Person You Like/d from that Thing They Did. And I made it as a way to cope with That Thing That Happened to Me. youtu.be/oFMTNZIK1sI

To be fair, as someone who doesn't follow comics, it's pretty easy to see all the recent trans Spiderman fan art and assume that was a canonical thing.

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 18h

Multiple endings are traditional for horror games, and the Silent Hill series in particular almost always have at least one that's + Game only, but I do feel like you need to keep a single run through the game down around like 4 hours or less if you want to keep that sort of tradition going.

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 18h

I just a few short minutes ago finally crossed the line to become the sort of person who will politely ask strangers why they're signal boosting neo-nazi posts from the site formerly known as twitter. If the backlash isn't too horrible I might move on to confronting these sorts too.

What's the benefit in signal-boosting stuff like this?

Fellow Zelazny fan @toomanyjs.bsky.social managed to obtain a deck of Nancy Kolar's "Chronicles of Amber" Tarot cards. This incredible bit of ephemera is hard to find, they were very limited edition and are easily damaged. He'd like to create archival quality scans. What's the best way to do so?

It would be nice if people just didn’t buy Harry Potter things but we don’t live in that world, we live in a one where people don’t really see the connection between their $80 and JKR’s politics. Even though it does exist

I think the other thing people need to accept is that if you want Hogwarts Legacy 2 sales to drop you have to start organizing a boycott around it with clear messaging about JKR’s bigotry that resonates with consumers. Like, we do have to put in the work and the effort. It has to be planned out

Also such haggard faces and jaunty run cycles.

It's kind of impressive what a huge percentage of horror and horror-adjacent games have you saying hello to the ocean, going all the way back to the pioneer of resource-management horror, Ecco the Dolphin. And honestly I can only thick of like two really good ones.

Ironically, like days before Tsubasa shows up in said new series.

There's a certain "Who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop?" cadence to that, yeah.

Seeing people who lack first hand experience with CRTs and have spent the last couple decades confusing "scan lines" with interlacing now learning firsthand how ahistoric "scanline filters" are warms my black heart so much. Now quit putting those in your faux retro games already.

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

the primary focus is on the rather porn-y Queen's Blade license, which seems to have outlived all the others somehow). ... I also only just this moment learned there was apparently a Marvel branded variation ("Battlebooks") in the very late 90s.

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Ooh! That's an excellent pick actually. Or Lost Worlds, the Battletech one, etc. Not much good if you don't already have them of course, although there's a super janky fan project for playing them online here- queensbladebattle.blogspot.com/2020/12/qb-b... (supports the lot of'em, but unfortunately

hangman exists, Go can work without physical pieces pretty damn well. There's some similar stuff like dots and boxes- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_an... or good ol' Exquisite Corpse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisi... Or hell if you want dice, number some very small cards, shuffle after each draw.

If turbulance is an issue, magnetic chess/checkers/backgammon sets are real real handy. Otherwise most of what I'd suggest are card games or card heavy. Just hold your hand sideways/agree not to cheat and lean over, honestly. Alternatively, pen and paper games. Not so much D&D because dice, but

Not only do the books contain trans women of color, many of the contributors are also trans women of color, many of whom live in the global south! The dollar goes a long way here and you can fund a trans woman's entire rent and utilities by contributing to this bundle.

That on top of the joys of a series where at least 4 or 5 games' official title is just "Alone in the Dark" makes that a potential headache, yeah.

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Perfect example of this- Alone in the Dark (2008). Big pile of puzzles built around a crazy ambitious custom physics engine, honestly revolutionary quick access inventory system, made limited-resources-horror work in an open world setting for the back half, but... people wanted to shoot zombies?

Wire Witch Violet @wirewitchviolet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ærena, like so many multiplayer focused games, had its servers taken down years ago and will no longer launch. So that's it, I've streamed all my A games. Of this batch, I'm really all in on those 40 small mazes, and Ambrosia Sky. It's just a neat novel concept with a cool posterized visual style.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZM1... Amnesia: Rebirth- It's an Amnesia game! So, first person horror with an interesting historical setting, lots of stuff you can interact with that does nothing, hiding in dark corners, and I'm pretty engaged but totally hit a wall like half an hour in somehow every time
