Quick... while everyone else is distracted playing Silksong š ... let's list some other game that are hidden š gems š
Morning art stream results!
Some regularly scheduled maintenance for the robot girlfriend.
me after a long day of being disempowered and watching myself and everyone I care about suffer horribly under a ruthless authoritarian capitalist system while Iām powerless to help:
oh boy I canāt wait to sit down and play a game where my character is disempowered and has to watch themself and everyone they care about suffer horribly while Iām powerless to help
.
(I would list the games that Iām complaining about but itās basically every game that has an emphasis on story)
Second Wind (a group of video game journalists who escaped corporate exploitation at The Escapist and started their own channel instead) is struggling because of YouTubeās new AI system classifying their videos as āmature contentā
Iāve been watching their videos almost since they started and theyāre one of my favorite YouTube channels. I also really want them to succeed just to drive home that itās possible for creatives to exist independent of corporate exploitation
so to try to make up for their lost views I just wanted to plug their channel in case anyone is interested in watching videos about game design, reviews for new games, etc.
hereās the video about their decreasing views and why itās happening
of course there are also simpler single-effect pills that do things like making your skin glow in the dark or changing your eye color or pupil shape. pills like these can often be programmed over NFC to configure color, shape, texture, etc. before you take them. if you take them without configuring them youāll just end up with the default settings instead (the default settings are generally whatever configuration is shown on the box)
btw if youāre wondering the kemonomimi pills dissolve on your tongue and have different flavors depending on the type:
inumimi ā banana
nekomimi ā kiwi
kitsunemimi ā orange
usagimimi ā marshmallow
ookamimimi ā blackberry
sometimes people like to scramble them up and take a random one for the thrill of not knowing which kind of body theyāre going to have for the day
there are certain memes that will never leave my mind. when Iām 300 years old living in an OāNeill cylinder in the Kuiper belt and drinking microfabricated 21st-century cola out of a self-refrigerating nanite can Iām still going to think to myself
āhehehehe⦠bepisā
the trans agenda is having an aisle in every pharmacy for over-the-counter xenohuman HRT
like give me two bottles of Stranger Things Demogorgon, three drider pills, two coyote bottles for my furry partners, a 30-day supply of the kemonomimi variety pack, and oh yeah one Morrigan Aensland for me
the existence of high femmes implies the existence of wood femmes and dark femmes
I love the term āhigh femmeā because it sounds like thereās a ruling class of High Femmes on the Lesbian Council who are set apart from the common sapphic by their lipstick, microdresses, and love of pink body glitter
this song is how I first found out about Soul Coughing and I wish they would write more music from the perspective of characters like this. this is such a cool vibe. it almost feels like a much softer version of Chat Pile?
CW: the lyrics are from the perspective of someone who sounds paranoid-schizophrenic. there are religious references and thereās implied kidnapping at one point
"Publishers actually reuse ISBNs" is a horror which keeps traumatizing new librarians every so often
@coffee4danz I'm blind and for me alt text is the Big Special Thing about Mastodon. If someone posts a meme, I'm in on the joke. Someone shares beautifiul moss, or their cat, I'm in on the beauty or fun or whatever. I'm now 62, and this is the first time I entered a community and a culture where people grant me this kind of access and community. So grateful for people who do alt text.
@alice In general: Fuck everything that requires an app to use it.
any musicians of fedi? preferably those who are queer and trans.
it feels really lonely to be one of the few musicians here in a platform where people talk about linux all the time.

honestly if you ignore the whole "cookie handling required to authenticate" part, mediawiki's api strategy of "one php endpoint with a shitton of query parameters which are all prefixed according to what functionality they relate to" kind of rules actually
