YouTube video by nova [pb, 7th overall... again] 1.8 any% ssg in 3:02.474

finally an ssg pb! 7th place isn't half bad for a first completion i think youtu.be/QplHPduyrxU

this probably isn't that earth shattering considering i've been out as trans for over 4 years now (saying i was nonbinary) but uh i should probably clarify it anyways
i'm actually a trans woman i think
hi :)

i feel like having said this, people are gonna think my voice is fake now 😭 i personally will not be doing this, if my voice sounds a bit unnatural that's just how it is idk
and at the moment it's still pretty obvious that i'm trans from it anyways i think

it is fully moral for any trans person who does not want to out themselves and face associated risks with the ranked playoffs "media day" (or anyone who doesn't want their voice to be known for that matter) to use a really good, undetectable voice changer

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

there is no escape

i don't fully understand how it works and if it's always the case but at least in general iirc

i saw one minecraft speedrunner on twitter who replied to this palantir nvidia announcement but like
is anybody else in the community even aware

its actually terrifying though
i don't think mcsr realizes how easily we could be wiped off the map we catch the attention of the wrong people and they notice that we tend to be fairly progressive and also an enclave of relative safety for trans people amidst an incredibly hostile internet

like i'm at less risk as a canadian while america hasn't invaded us yet but even im wondering like, i might have to replace my laptop relatively soon, do i have to get an amd gpu so if america does invade, palantir can't help them bomb wherever i'm living as easily
is that a real calculation 😭

the fact that there's a potential reality, where immigrants and trans people and people from the right's other outgroups who speedrun minecraft may have less functional preemptive nav on average, because it actively endangers them more to use nvidia gpus instead of amd, is like
what do you even say

That thing where your paper gets bought out by a hedge fund famous for destroying newsrooms and all the real journalists leave and you are so terrified of having to pay what you owe in taxes so that society can exist you endorse a serial sexual harasser.

i agree

"ssg has no variability"

@groundnews.bsky.social So, guys, I gotta ask... Is it policy to now list mass shootings under your "transgender" tag? Because if it is, I'm going to have to discuss this.

have a spine mark jesus fucking christ i hate him so much

YouTube video by nova 1.8 any% ssg ~2:50 choke

this is the biggest choke of my speedrunning career by far
i don't even have a 1.8 ssg completion yet
this would have been 4th overall and i would have been the 4th person ever to sub 3
if i just didn't jump on the end stone on the first crystal i probably would have gotten it 😓

all of life is screens, and all the screens are now haunted, and somehow we've got to somehow keep a society going on this set of facts.

o7 to 1.7's claim to fame
and some of the 1.7 versions ended up being snapshots for some weird reason so they skipped some numbers, 1.7 is cheating and still losing 😭
what happens first, 1.22 or the heat death of the universe

connoreatspants making a really good defense of trans people while streaming fornite on twitch with gavin newsom was not something i expected in 2025

the bors "I think we should improve society somewhat" cartoon except society is replaced with "bsky" and "and yet you participate in it!" is replaced with "WAFFLES"

damn ratioing the ceo of the platform you're on by 9x is impressive

Dear CEO, there's an active subset of Bluesky that routinely harasses trans and queer folk, even doxxing them. This person in particular is a huge problem and even was cited in federal documents harming trans folks. What are you doing to address this?

"lol, are u a sad PEPE! Le epic meme, right?!?"

yeah, being harassed sucks.

The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.

someone please check on every government website because the banners are killing me

HUD:

this isn't realistic, where's the blahaj

if stuff like this doesn't show just how lopsided the so-called "free market" powder dynamic is in favour of landlords, i don't know what does. a blacklist??? anyone who isn't immediately maximally servile to their leech overlords just can't get housing now? what a disaster
