@Rin_Vixen It's impossible explaining to them that a normal person who doesn't believe in trans Yamato would probably just keep their mouth closed, but instead they have to come crawling out of the woodwork any time he's mentioned to spam the same rote arguments ad nauseam.
not sure if anyone is at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed.
one will likely not be mobbed or mugged here but one will likely not feel a quickening of the heart, a jab of adrenaline. Twitter may be a "cesspool"-- at least in some quarters--but I think of it as lively like the old Madison Square Garden: raucous, unpredictable, obnoxious, good fun, surprises.
@thissmay I choose to believe it's bullshit-hard, because I don't like the alternative. But, the best path forward is practice, and try to learn anything you can from your peers (whether that's tutorials or devlogs that are close to what you want to do, or just more vibes-based advice).
@spinelessaisha Yeah, sorry, character limit (and me being catty) hindered me as well. A wide breadth of games is good, and I hope that we can celebrate *everyone* finding games that speak to them, in whatever form.
In an ideal world, Prey (2006) and Prey (2017) players should be comrades. We make the same sound when we call our favorite game's name. We got screwed by the same corporation. Neither game has a future. Don't fight the wrong enemy for the wrong cause.
In front of you are three doors, behind one is red, and the others blue. Pick red you're safe, pick blue and you're only safe if more than 50% of others do.
After choosing a door, Monty opens one of the others, revealing it's blue and asks if you want to change doors. Do you?
