My middle name is now Omerta.
No one told me that being trans meant my dick would grow little legs and start waltzing but here we are.
Iโve been working on accessibility for years on the web, and Iโm applying the same mindset to The Runic Edda with Godot.
Extended caption descriptions and persistent battle logs are now fully implemented and working.

I wish I could shit on game companies more but literally every media company is incapable of making anything now. It takes 4-6 years to make 8 episodes of television and there's no reason it should beyond a managerial class that is both wildly egotistical and completely useless
I'm a roller derby trans gal. I approve this message.
This is why these goofs arecalled reactionaries by leftists. The position they advocate isn't "better rights for trans people" it's "rights for trans people are already good enough -- no I don't know what they are but see, enemy of the week country is worse". Gross, dissembling, cowardly.
Respectfully, circular argument. Tech is a problem b/c of people in power + way power is structured + functions w/ the help of tech. Destroying that power + curtailing these ppl requires action against tech. We cannot defeat master w/ the tools of master. This dynamic persists across a lot of tech.

These FUCKING ghouls.
Oh no, you see it in writing too. The writers who do try to help out often collect bands of sycophantic and very literal-minded acolytes they (most of the time) didn't ask for. These people then preach the orthodox of what their idol has to say about whatever and stifle any discourse on that basis.
It's how they cope w/ the latent guilt of not helping anyfuckingone on Earth.
A lot of this is the ancient art of new v. old guard infighting. New generation of x trying to establish themselves in opposition to y, whatever that means. The more lasting sense y makes, the less sense x does when trying to overthrow or otherwise thwart y. And also... ppl get off on bad takes.
Hollywood has been doing that for years. It's kind of a weird and harmful adjunct of the "great artist" shit that we still contend with. They are screwy geniuses who deserve to get away with a few things because, like, where would x be without them? Without them! Which is the point.
Plus, y'know, other writers writing is never the actual problem. It's very bizarre to come across the sorta arms race of niche takes in niche fields out in the wild. Sometimes I think they just say shit and hope to go viral or start a day of social media fights. I mean, of course they do.
I think it's also because they started doing shit like going into space for fun, talking about Mars colonies and being (not evil) in international waters and most people were like "haha what a bunch of weirdos" which I think made them very cross and >:(

Why do these fucking morons get so much press?

Yoooo another game on steam that features my pixel art!
We gotta give Eytran a track so he can really give 'er.
When it's not because the author is trying to explore science/tech/the future in some way, it's often because they need to level the playing field somehow. They need a way to create the conditions for their dystopian society and often this requires technology or events that sweep the board clean.
Which is nearly everyone. The way these people think they can like lock in a generation is ridiculous. Even if all of Gen Z goes fash, their kids will push back. Especially as the margin of tolerance narrows.
It's been in the discourse today that right-wing Americans are out-breeding "liberals" by a lot and the idea that it'll change voting demographics for a generation. These people aren't serious.
Oh heck yeah! I love the store! It was a huge highlight of my first trip to Toronto!
Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! ๐ค๐งก ๐ป๐

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
I try to explain this and depending on audience, results VARY. Doctors do not like to hear this, clutching outdated guidelines like pearls. Other queer ppl are like yeah, no duh, cuz they face the same. Some normies think it's evidence this is all a delusion we suffer.
We all need to know more.
The real reason they ask this question is cuz they are desperate for a reason not to. But they're too scared of the discomfort to just... use labor as leverage against capital.
Collection of pixel art dinosaurs, all on floating islets and all featuring a singular colour scheme per dinosaur. Therizinosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Hypsilophodon, Baryonyx and Olorotitan are done. There's another mystery one that's not ready to reveal yet as it's still WIP.
Been slowly chipping away at a Season 2 of these guys. #pixelart #wip
