π I'm videobun on bluesky, cohost, tumblr, discord, and telegram. Mutuals only for those last two messengers.
@videobun_art is my art only alt here on twitter, with more info on where to find my art + comms there.
Not leaving, just using alternatives and prepped for future
their sockpuppet accounts are obvious and they speak with a veneer of intellectualism to mask exclusionary rhetoric that they attempt to justify by evoking touchy narratives around minority voices being silenced but is a really obvious ploy when you're not terminally online
coming back to twitter periodically after being away reminds me that a lot of trans discourse on this website is totally inundated with trolls, like straight up shit stirrers that people engage with because this site has burned away their ability to sniff them out anymore.
@RobinPoedev but only kinda. really i'd just say people who play and call these games "RPGs" could ask for or seek better examples.
(i recognize i'm just reiterating your point about why RPG is a bad label, that's just how i'm framing it i suppose)
@RobinPoedev RPG is so loosely defined that I see why this is divisive, but to extend the metaphor to tabletop, stat menu "RPGs" w/ a few dialogue choices and optional quests are kinda like playing a minimalist TTRPG with a really boring control freak DM. like *i guess* you're playing an RPG.
nl was right, be careful about using twitter, you might just become a tweeter. literally the only thing left i have to say on this site is how bad it is every couple months, and to crosspost my art here. and even then i don't do that much anymore
genuinely how the fuck does anyone use this site anymore for anything other than following artists? the state of general conversation is fucking abysmal
sorry to not mince words w/ a slur, but so many reply sections are a handful of right wing archetypes arguing with/deluding each other in this huge bubble by calling each other retard all day (+ bots) and can set aside their differences only to harass pretty much anyone else.
@RobinPoedev have been saying it'd have sick if sekiro did this considering the boss has a sword that is supposed to end your rebirth curse or whatever and you do only get one shot at the first encounter in the same location as well to parallel it... idea that is too cool for big budgets.
well, precisely the american right wing. I can't speak for the rest of the world. they can slip in shit policy up high but at least in terms of the escalation they hope for happening in the media, in the streets, etc. truly nothing ever happens
i know there's like, basically zero impact in pointing out right wing hypocrisy except in making sure we all see it and *maybe* convincing fence sitter types who are also tired of it but idk. it's weirdly heartening to see just how equally toothless they are compared to dems
sorry i basically only post here to talk exclusively about the soul sucking braindead shit that's mostly only available here these days, at least in this particular flavor.
current events are so fuckin funny man, not for people being wrong, but for getting to see how people talk about it
libs: so technically..!βοΈshe's wrong. uhhhm. we hate to say it, but...π³"hate speech" *is* protected πππ¨
the right: I FUCKING LOVE HATE SPEECH!
@Guitarbeard nioh 3 being more open addressed one of my few complaints with the previous two, being the sort of claustrophobic sprawl of level design that is very hit or miss. my other complaint being the diablo loot, but that seems to be a staple they're sticking to, i can deal with it
@Guitarbeard wo long is quite good even though it's a bit more simplistic, the parry button is definitely too versatile but that doesn't stop it from being fun imo
just more excited for nioh 3 tbh, looks good, esp. leaning toward more open but not "open world" maps
being an adult is just seeing a new huge problem every so often that, if you pay attention, will disillusion you to the idea any of it will actually get fixed or result in consequences for those who deserve them
on the plus side, this current disaster will hopefully be slightly succeed in dividing/discouraging the right. the downside is that 1. nobody will actually be punished and 2. dems will fail to capitalize on the right fracturing other than say "we're not them" again.
@CSnuft usually i don't butt in on any of this stuff but it's because your art has definitely been fed heavily into some algos for AI material, I've seen stuff floating around imitating your style specifically. anyway like. record a timelapse sometime imo, would def show it's your work.
