we can be mindful of predators without assuming friendships are bad. we can stop fucking pretending everything in the queer community is about sex, too, while we're at it.
the drama is making me really angry mainly because people are shitting out the /horrible/ take that adults and minors cannot be friends without it being "creepy".
fuck that shit. fuck that shit to Hades and back. this is the kind of shit that ruins our already fucked up community so much more. you're not doing risk reduction here, you're just making shit weird when it's not.
i am friends with my coworkers. i have been working with them since i was 16; they are grad students. that is not a fucking creepy relationship, and honestly fuck you if you assume minors being friends with not-minors is problematic.
you can tell it's a localization prototype because it has the western-only title written on it, which generally means that you're paying thousands of dollars for a copy of the game that has an unfinished translation at best or, more likely, is identical to the retail release

Don't worry, I can perfectly understand that Blizzard, the famous indie developer, can have trouble releasing any game on Linux. I mean, they are already making hardly money, right?
Game engines that exist on Linux: Godot, Ren'Py, Source, Unity, Unreal Engine 4
Game developers: "Actually, we can't support Linux. That's way too complicated because there is no proper game engine on this platform."
Game developers: "Linux is too niche, there is no market on this platform."
Also game developers: Amazon Fire TV, MacOS, Nvidia Shield, Ouya…
@Sylvhem do any of the games that do this actually work on Ubuntu and not on other distros, or do they just not work on any Linux distros at all and just hope that nobody ever actually uses the specific version of Ubuntu they support?
I've run into this a few times, and each time it was really a matter of "you don't have one of the three GPU models that this game supports on Linux, too bad" and the specific distro support was nothing but a distraction.

This happened back in December, but don't think I ever did a full thread on it here.

getting help for it, and... I'm not, because no-one remotely qualified has ever thought I'm delusional, at least not in any medically significant capacity, just him. But he knows better than therapists and psychs and mental health professionals.

at every opportunity and taking it as a foregone conclusion I couldn't manage on my own. Also getting pissy when I said Mom was emotionally abusive (because, you see, she did a lot to support me and somehow that magically precludes emotional abuse) and was passive aggressive. (I admit I may have used the wrong word there, but I was describing actual behaviors of hers) Oh, also might've called me delusional for being trans, since he said I was

thought he'd just be briefly in to hear that I didn't entirely imagine what ex-caregiver did to me at one therapy session (which included being dismissive and invalidating about stuff I needed to continue to interact with her, and, oh yeah, chasing me around a building trying to harass me that her buddy Sargon did nothing wrong and Gamergate was good actually) but ended up about making plans for the future, by undercutting and criticizing me at

Had to cut off Dad after he refused to apologize for saying he thought I was delusional, effectively based on my having different knowledge, experiences, memories, and perspectives of him, hassling me about cutting off an increasingly fascist-leaning ex-caregiver (who he thinks I'm wrong about despite admittedly not having time for the relevant politics, I guess because she wasn't wearing the official hat?) and sabotaging a therapy session that I

Exactly. This is why I always disagreed with Linux elitists about making Linux-only software. If that software we made with cross platforming in mind, many more people would have found it easier to switch. Instead, they kept using proprietary tools because no free alternatives were available for Windows.
It was a stupid decision that only made things more difficult for everyone.
