I think about this a lot. A lot of devs (and players, for that matter) in recent years get hung up on some analysis they saw in a video essay. The point of studying art you love is building your own intuition. Trust your gut. Get weird. Alienate players. That’s how art works.

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6?
Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

its interesting how everyone who harassed & denounced others for defending free expression of sexuality via fiction in 2018/19 is now like “actually freaks are good uwu” yet none seem brave/self-aware enough to say “holy shit i was promoting fascist ideology & i helped create a very serious problem”

Kinda wild how the gender conservative side of the feminist second waved embraced the whole "man-hater" rep, despite it being completely and utterly unearned

Reading Greer again and it's notable how little contempt she has for men. She's deeply billious and full of spite, but very little of it gets directed at cis men, either as a class or as individuals.

would you hit me if i ask nicely?

every piece of fiction or memoir about the military is either about rape or castration. jarhead? castration. american sniper? rape. maidens, despite featuring a lot of rape, is actually about castration.

A thing I think about sometimes is that the death of used game shops and video stores has probably more effectively gentrified video games than any amount of dumb culture war bullshit ever could.

I barely buy major label games anymore, it's just too fucking expensive.

PEOPLE: - Yoshiki Haruhana, age 46. Character designer and art lead for many Zelda games. - Yusuke Nakano, age 47. Illustrator for many Zelda games. QUOTE: Haruhana: [Looking at Adventure of Link art, straight-faced] He’s got some nice hips. All: [Laughter] Nakano: Link’s appearance has always been a little bit androgynous, and he has some effeminate traits as well. One might say that those traits are his roots. Perhaps the fact that in the Japanese A Link to the Past commercial featuring Scha Dara Parr’s Zelda rap, the person dressed up as Link was female was also symbolic of that.

There was a time nerds got mad that the LotR movies had New World foods like potatoes and tomatoes. They should have gone even harder in that direction. The Council of Elrond chowing down on corn-on-the-cob. Sam looking at the camera saying "Look away, Blanco Niño" and devouring a whole Ghost Pepper

I think that a lot of this, on a sort of macro, cultural-enforcement level, is how much it fucking sucks trying to rebuild oneself after being forced into adulthood without trans care. It turns the body horror and amplified body issues outward into a sex-pessimism.

it is insanely attractive for a girl to wear old jeans and a plain t shirt with busted up trainers

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

Boy whose moan are a *bit* too high pitched when he's jerking off to trashy porn with some of his friends.

One of them laughs, says he sounds like a faggot, and he almost sobs as his cock spurts long before anyone else!

Chuds and freaks are mostly just concerned with drive by harrassment, whereas other trans and queer people are both 1) in close proximity to me 2) more likely to be concerned with "warning" others to "protect their community" (social murder) and think posting can save the world and defeat evil

As a transfem, the demographic most likely to cause actual harm to my livelihood is other trans and queer people, which I think is really impressive given the current climate honestly. Really, that takes a lot of dedication to your craft.

the "clanger" shit is cringe but it feels like ppl are getting lectured about it by the exact same people who spiritually spam pepes in the twitch chat whenever that white bald canadian guy says bussin

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic
