me, a young person in 1998, watching mulan, a film about a person coerced by social obligation to adopt an artificial and discomfiting gender role which she must maintain at all times or risk exile, and who will only be accepted in her true gender identity if she surpasses an unrealistically high level of personal achievement far in excess of her cisnormative peers: ... huh

I wanna play VRChat but I need a new VR headset... My current one is very old and outdated...

Concept: games but modded just a little bit to make them perfect for you

me at the start of every fucking yugioh series: oh this'll prolly be okay I guess, the original manga set a high bar idk how they're gonna keep up

me by the end: just fucking sobbing on everything about those good boys

It's extra frustrating because Rimworld is just a poorly optimized game to begin with. If they would just let me use my EIGHT CPU CORES then maybe I would be able to play the game at a stable framerate!

For some reason Rimworld 1.1 is a lot laggier than Rimworld 1.0? I used to be able to run full speed with like 10 colonists and a massive modlist— now, even with a really small modlist, the base three colonists can knock me down to 40 fps.

*closing the doors to my many rooms filled with weapons* oh, I thought you said polyarmory

After what feels like actual hours of fanangling, there are no more error messages on game launch. Yay!

Excited to try Rimworld Royalty. Hopefully it doesn't snap all of my mods in half like I'm expecting it to.

coalitions are stronger and more useful than the definitions of categories. actions speak for themselves

fighting over what 'queer' means accomplishes nothing. I grew up knowing a definition of 'queer' which encompassed asexuality, and others have grown up with a definition that didn't; but if the definitions of worda aren't inherently important

and they aren't

then our definitions shouldn't bar us from organizing around our shared struggles and being in solidarity around un-shared struggles.

Don't worry, nothing sad is happening. Fallout 76 is just that upsetting to experience

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.
