I stopped playing choices regularly years ago because I could tell I just wasn’t the target audience, but it’s still really saddening to see them be acquired by a generative AI company. I can’t quite say Pixelberry was uncynical, because like most free mobile games, it relied on micro transactions and addicting “whales” to buy their in game purchases.

But they clearly cared about their characters and gameplay. And they knew the power of art! They knew they were making kids feel less alone and like they could be themselves. And they collaborated with cybersmile , the national eating disorder association, and the born this way foundation because they knew they could help their audience! Pixelberry used to know the importance of art as a way for people to connect with each other better than anyone.

playersexual characters suck and get directly in the way of telling any meaningful queer love story at all

the fate of jake mckenzie hurts me so much. so so much. the guy lost everything twice over. his best friend, his honor, his reputation to the world, and then was slowly coaxed into hoping and believing in the future, managed to rescue his friend against all odds and fall in love and get married - only to have mike and the love of his life ripped away from him again only a day after the damn wedding. jake's is the only good future from the glimmers that is fully impossible in the vanuu ending because mike is dead and so are the rest of the arachnids so there's no one left alive to back up jake's story about lundgren or provide any other proof. the only way for him to not lose everything is for nearly the entire fuckin world to die and the fabric of time to be an utter disaster. he ends up a dishonorably discharged wanted fugitive with no one in any other ending.

"would you fuck your clone" = boring, who cares, the answer says nothing about you other than whether or not you're your own type

"would you fuck MY clone" = unexpected, high potential to cause a lot of 'why would you fuck my clone and not me?' drama, reasonable question to ask if you're a mad scientist

can't believe they wasted a whole chapter of villainous valentine on random blades villain #3 come on there are far sexier evil women in choices with more plot relevancy and personality

By which I don't just mean which one do you dislike most, but also which is the one that when you see people calling them god-tier, you genuinely cannot even begin to put yourself in the shoes of whoever's saying it because "really? that one?"

This is a safe space, let it out 😮‍💨

Widely disliked books poll

*Now we're talking books that get that HYPE. The fandom darling. Everybody stans. You think this book sucks (and probably didn't deserve more installments) and you feel like the only one when people call it god-tier

[imogenwescott]

*Baby, I'm talking LOATHED. SHIT TALKED. You feel like an island just for digging this book. We are not talking books that received lots of criticism but also lots of hype or books that the fandom was just sort of indifferent about

Some friends and I were laughing about how nobody gave a shit that Baldur died, hahah. Well, Arlan did, but nobody in our party gave one single shit hahahaha. Raine was (rightfully) 1000% more focused on "What the hell, you were lying to me the whole time?!"

anyway so I had to make this and I was laughing basically the entire time I was drawing it
