this echoes my theory that the ultimate form of commercial gamedev is Key Jangler 2000 a game where you press a button to immediately get satisfying audiovisual feedback. for 10% of button clicks, you get a currency that you can exchange for new keys that jangle slightly differently

the ideal form of commercial gamedev is a fidget spinner that is also a slot machine it's not about communicating anything, it's about self-soothing. this is the rosetta stone to understanding like half a dozen different recurring game design discourses and the design trends that kick them off

to me sayolara felt like a bait and the switch where i thought i'd get girls' love and instead i got an excellent trans metaphor, a very strong portrayal of what it's like navigating comp-cis-het, (and also some girls' love) but that ending really cemented it as a trans story first and foremost imo

ah but you see, dear uninformed interlocutor. you have a limited understanding of the topic, for you believe artificial intelligence is solely generative. i, however, am capable of perceiving the nuance of the situation. there are, in fact, fields, such as medicine, where - hey wait come back wait

people complaining about the sportsmates and me just here thinking that they're kind of adorable and i wish they were a system-wide avatar and not just for switch sports (i think i just resent miis because very young yona couldn't make a mii of herself due to lack of hair color options on the wii)

the ocarina of time remake is making me think about how long it's been since we've had a mainstream Adventuring Child game. i can't really think of one other than like. wind waker and god of war and pragmata don't count; you can't have an Adventuring Child situation if there's a parent right there

way back then i used to draw schwi almost every other week, i wanted to see what she'd look like in my current style 😌 #art #fanart
a drawing of schwi dola, from no game no life: zero. she is an android girl with very long dark purple hair, a light brown/orangeish dress, and very long purple boots. she has 2 tails that are charging cables, robotic elf ears that point downwards, and a blue headpiece that looks a bit like a fancy parabolic antenna.

she is standing near the edge of a cliff, turning around with a slightly surprised but mostly calm expression. behind her, the ocean reflects the pink / purple lights in the night sky.

i wish i could preorder the commodore callback (i love the form factor and the OS) but i am absolutely not a fan of "we have decided which apps are Bad for you and blocked them on system level". if we're evoking retro tech, it's gotta come with the freedom of retro tech. this is just vibes.

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a bird saying, "Shall we plan our annual birt meeting? How's 7AM?"
The second panel shows two more birds, one saying "Yes!" and the other saying "Sounds good!"
The third panel shows two more birds, one saying "yep!" and the other saying "yup!"
The final panel shows an owl with an exhausted expression.

playing mario kart wii again confirms my opinion that if you want your game to have cool shit, it needs to also have absolute bullshit. those are two sides of the same coin. so much cool shit is either when bullshit goes in your favor, or when bullshit is narrowly avoided.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

the other angle that i dislike is that technology MUST benefit only the oppressors. there's a real lack of imagination "inventions like the iphone take back more than they give" yes but it didn't have to be this way. we can build a better world. but we have to make a little bit of an effort

small mech pilot (perspective and details are hard 😭) #oc #art
an illustration of a girl in a mech cockpit, surrounded by various instruments and enclosed by glass panels. she has long brown hair in a ponytail, and has a frustrated / tense expression. the seat and the controls are clearly much too big for her, and had to be adapted for her size.

on the right, she is depicted outside of her mech, standing while holding its key with a slight frown.

I feel like I’m slowly losing my mind to how my entire field, and an artform I love, is being destroyed by capitalism and how people don’t seem to care. People will get upset about AI art in a game but be fine with AI code. Code is the pillar holding a game together, it’s art too!!

After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy

catboybiologist
I take a shot once a week, and even if that was too much, I could do it as pills, and so many of my problems just evaporated overnight.

And not one person thought to bring it up.

When I was talking about how horrifying puberty felt. When I was cutting myself. When I was in inpatient care. When I attempted suicide. When I talked for YEARS in therapy about how dissociated and trapped I felt in my body. When I felt like I never truly fixed something that was deeply wrong about me that started at puberty.

Not one person said it was a possibility. No one thought "hey, maybe this kid should go to someone trained to identify dysphoria". No one mentioned that trans people weren't some weird other group of people. It didn't have to be pressure. It didn't have to be "forcing" me. Just mentioning that trans people exist and it could be me. That it was possible and it was easy. No pushing, just laying the option out there.

HRT is treated like this last ditch option. This horrific, mutilating thing that I GUESS we can give to you if you have NO OTHER options. Because did you know it's permanent? Did you know you'll be on it for the rest of your life? Did you know the health risks? Did you know it'll make you infertile? Did you know that it's deviant? Did you know that it's an alternative lifestyle for other people?

No one said it was okay to WANT it to be permanent. Or noted that most people are reliant on the medical system in one way or the other anyways (and it's not even necessary for HRT). Or that the health risks are the normal parts of having that hormone, even in cis people of your gender. Or said it was okay to not want kids, or mention that you can just freeze gametes. Or acknowledged that the "deviant" people are just people, living their lives, that have been violently pushed out of
"normal" soci…
