Protip for any future runners at a GDQ: Doing ironic memes and being self-deprecating isn't really entertaining to watch.
Kinda ruined the Split/Second speedrun for me. #sgdq
hours later, as it's nighttime, this is still an urge I have.
I guess I'm constantly stuck in touch-starved mode lately :/
This weekend's work https://github.com/fragglet/miniwad
proposed term (violent reactionary mentions)
You know how we have TERF and SWERF to refer to reactionary bigots in feminism? I think we should have something for reactionary bigots in gaming.
I suggest Kyriarchy-Advocating Gamers, or KAGs.
"Ignore the KAGs - the new Lego DLC in Forza Horizon 4 is a lot of fun."
"Honestly, any company with a pander-to-KAGs marketing strategy in 2019 deserves to go under."
"A big part of the reason why KAGs became the way they are is historical: they came of age during an era when videogames were being marketed as a tool for boys to prop up their masculinity and never learned to question it."
Since #SGDQ2019 is about to start, a reminder that hiding the twitch chat will give you a much more enjoyable experience.

If you're under the assumption that you're a cis guy but have always dreamed of being a girl, and the only reason you haven't transitioned is because you're afraid you'll be an "ugly" girl:
That's dysphoria. You're literally a trans girl already, hon.

Don't feel too bad about never realizing it. I just had this eureka moment myself.
But that's literally dysphoria. You feel discomfort being reminded of the disconnect between who you want to be (who you ARE) and what you look like.

The mental benefits of HRT are still worth it.
And honestly my standards for what I find beautiful changed SO much without testosterone in my system. It really is worth it. 💕
