cartoony video game girls holding guns and knives and such, grace is reminiscing about trans stuff and a video game, long
I played a lot (42 hours, which is a lot for a multiplayer-only game I've only done with bots) of Bloody Good Time when I was younger. You and the other players are fame-hungry young actors working for a director who makes incredible slasher films... by making the actors actually kill each other.
Every round, everyone is assigned someone else to kill. Thus, you have a target, and someone you don't know is trying to kill you. You want to kill them without getting caught by guards or cameras using either the provided weapons (weapons that haven't been used to kill in a while are worth more points) or the booby traps.
Your character has three needs (food, sleep, bathroom) that run down over the course of the game. You can fulfill these, but doing so leaves you vulnerable so you can't just hang out under the cameras once you do the murder.
I always thought it was a fun little game, and I really should play it with humans sometime.
Also, one of my first Trans Feelings was being alone with the computer and picking the pink-haired showgirl or the bunnygirl or the goth
Anyways, good game and currently on sale for... a dollar and 24 cents.
also, the names it generates for your characters are pretty good. got in a fight with a goth lady named Jezebel Grimoire

@BestGirlGrace how do i date a jezebel grimoire
@autistikai i dunno, but I kinda want to, too
@BestGirlGrace ....we appear to be at an impasse, then
@autistikai maybe we'll get lucky and she'll be part of a series
@BestGirlGrace tbh if we floated the name in a couple trans groups we're in, we'd probably inspire someone. not sure how you'd go about explaining the ways in which that's a questionably ethical decision, tho
@autistikai Hey, if it works for someone, it works.
@BestGirlGrace very true. however, speaking as a pragmatist, we could always just go for someone who's already settled on a cool name instead
@autistikai Yeah, it doesn't have to be Jezebel.
@BestGirlGrace the problem is when most of the cool names we know we came up with. like, the coolest name any of our friends has?? was a nickname we gave someone
@autistikai Well, then you already know you liked them.
@BestGirlGrace but it sorta ruins the "wow, they have a cool name" feeling until our memory fucks up again
@BestGirlGrace i mean fair but we can also get that from our own self
@autistikai Yeah, but you do get the satisfaction of having given someone a real good name.
