Happy Pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!
My wish is for games to be self-contained, to not require external knowledge or community-maintained wiki sites!

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.
Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.
It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

I'm hearing "but roguelikes do this all the time!"
and
1.) yes, I don't play roguelikes for that reason, so imagine the face I made when I realized the game I was snacking on tasted that way, heh
2.) roguelikes avoid the issue largely by being short runs. Any frustration you have over a missed set resolves quickly, and you never really needed that set to begin with. "But I really need the climbing gear" over a 100+ hour game is a very, very different deployment of that pattern.

I'm seeing a lot of self proclaimed allies who had no problem playing Hogwarts Legacy because "it's just a game" turn around and wish queer people a happy pride month. You can take your "love is love" and put it together with your "thoughts and prayers" in a box labelled "empty performative gestures I can pat myself on the back for". 🤬 #pride #wrath

Me: I won't discuss business in a room with an Alexa, because Amazon is my business competitor and they eavesdrop.
Various other folks: 
Today: Amazon to pay fine for eavesdropping. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/01/1179381126/amazon-alexa-ring-settlement

Everyone on earth has LGBTQ2+ people in their families whether they know it or not.
You can make them feel included and safe in schools, workplaces, and society, or you can promote painfully excluded lives that often lead to high suicide rates by being ignorant.
Choose kindness.

Just thinking about the Florida shit actually killing Pride celebrations there, and
this is the first Pride in I don't know how many years where it feels relevant again, instead of just an event to be hijacked by corporate interests? So that's gonna make next month interesting.
(remember kids, the first Pride was a riot, and it probably should be again, and you've got 2 weeks to buy uh, Pride supplies)
