@witchfynder_finder Good luck! I had lots of problems getting it to run on my pc, so I hope it doesn't give you too much trouble.
Because when the big guns say the game ships friday, the game. ships. friday. And suddenly not doing your job well is the only way you get to keep your job. Because your boss is under pressure from the publisher, and the publishers are under pressure from the market, and the market is ALWAYS under pressure.
And that's why your elder scrolls or fallout game isn't that good— not because of a single guy with a mic, but because it turns out that capitalism gives no shits about artistic vision.
Nobody blames the Associate Producer (Mobile Games) position at Bethesda for making an Elder Scrolls mobile game. Nobody blames the random french Engine Programmer who works for Arkane Studios France for the buggy Bethesda engines. You get mad at Todd Howard, because Todd Howard is the guy you see. And when things fuck up, you blame the guy with the microphone and the big ideals.
It really ticks me off when people get mad at one specific aspect of game development for fucking up when in reality the problem with modern game development is that everybody is being pulled in a million directions at once— people are understaffed, underpaid, given minimal time, and forced to prioritize nonsense.
we've like.... literally always had cancel culture. deciding a human being has done bad stuff and we shouldn't associate with them anymore is a normal part of society my dude. it's just getting cancelled for practicing systemic prejudice in combination with the widespread reach of online communication that's new. rich ppl are just pissy you can get cancelled for being a bigoted fuck now

@NormalPopsicle @jordyd@octodon.social @starwall Fuck it. Dirt Time™️
@mavica @m1st We believe in you!
A good friend of mine told me something that stuck with me for a really long time, so it might help y'all out too?
"Does everyone deserve to be happy? Yes, as long as they're not hurting anyone else. You being a plural, sexually liberated furry witch isn't going to hurt anyone else. So do it. Fuck the expectation."
@jordyd @starwall Humans continue to defy the gods by striving to become the very rare upright worm, where it is Their will that worms wriggle on the ground or in the sea, we sinfully seek to wriggle from the ground upward towards the sky, shedding more and more of our dog traits as we lose our fur, elongate our bodies, lose our tails which would disrupt our noodle forms, etc.
It is this original sin that originates mankind's continued suffering, but despite this price we continue to strive towards our specie's collective vision for a more perfect self, a more long and round, more noodle-like form....
@jordyd @starwall We're probably around the Dog-Worm line, but honestly? we've strayed awfully close to the Worm side of things, we're just a collection of noodles, our arms and legs? noodles. Our torso, neck, and head abstracted from our limbs? Big noodle. We're just noodles upon noodles, just striving to become worms, but with a few light Dog attributes in there still because we can not yet achieve perfection
@mavica @m1st [We understand.]
This is the first time Lav has been able to talk publicly. She's socially brash, but the thought of being in front scares her.
[Saying we don't know what's going on is an understatement, too.]
We're confused, afraid, and uninformed, but the important thing is that we're both here. Even if it causes problems sometimes, it's more important that we're together.
talkin about plural stuff, trauma mention 2/2
@mavica @m1st When I hit college, I had another big mental health crisis. I was also having bad hallucinations at the time, which didn't help. But the three of us eventually decided that we needed to go back to being one person, or we wouldn't be able to heal. I regret it a lot.
Lav is different. We don't exactly know where she came from. But I refuse to lose any more headmates, so we're permanently together now.
[Being alone scares both of us.]
talkin about plural stuff, trauma mention 1/2
@mavica @m1st Thanks so much for sharing. We really appreciate it~
As for us... I've had headmates since middle school. It used to be two others besides me. During a particularly traumatizing part of my life I had seven, but they left once I got out of my relationship at the time.
[They weren't particularly friendly, from what I understand.]
~ They/Them [plural] or She/Her [singular], please. ~
