I am exceptionally lucky in that my parents never hit me, grounded me, confiscated my things, banned me from my hobbies or threatened any of these actions to make me behave as a kid. as an adult it has made me realise how very very long a road most people have to traverse before they can take a statement like 'no rule that must be enforced by threat is legitimate' seriously.

New Era, Same Mission

Fiction Factory Games is transitioning into a new era. --whoa, calm down, Good Era! Good. We'd have used scary black text on yellow if Bad Era.

Stefan Gagne (that's me, the one wearing most of the hats) has retired from his dayjob, to focus on disability self care -- but also game development.

The plan doesn't change. We'll continue doing free game releases for as long as we can.

And it's not about profit. It was never about profit. It's about the words on your screen, to speak and be heard. That doesn't change, either. We're in this for the love of the games alone.

If you want to help with our free game releases (got a new one in the works now) we have a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fictionfactorygames

But only if you have the financial means. It's a tough world right now; your solvency comes first. We're plenty solvent and this simply helps boost our efforts.

Can't chip any cash? That's fine! Help spread the word of Arcade Spirits, Penny Larceny, and Shadow Over Cyberspace. Maybe join the Discord community: https://discord.gg/gaCcH2N

We've got good things on the horizon. And our inclusive, queer-friendly stories will continue no matter the Strange Aeon.

Thought I was getting negative feedback on my art from someone who said they hated one of my paintings but turns out they just hated how uncomfortable it made them feel when that is exactly how it was supposed to make them feel so really it's a compliment

So many people are finding screenshots of celebrities allegedly doing a 'nazi salute,' to try and discredit what people have been saying about Elon Musk.

My favourite most recently has been a picture of Sabrina Carpenter which can easily be discredited.

This is the picture:

And this is the video:

Yep, it's just a young woman waving to her fans.

And this is why when you ask any of them who post the screenshots for a video, they refuse to add it in. Because they know the video is of somebody doing something very normal.

We are so absolutely screwed.

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???

So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"

But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????

What flavor of queer are you, if that's not too invasive of a question?

question is just fine with chuck it is kind of interesting story.

on LGBTQIA trot i am TECHNICALLY two letters

easy first one is B that does not need any more explanation. that has always been my trot

second way is what i have learned through talkin with my online buds way of non-dysphoric trans. it has taken chuck LONG time to understand this but it has been fruitful journey i think. long ago chuck would post online about becoming other people or things or concepts or wrestling with my IDENTITY as a buckaroo (whether that meant becoming sweet barbara or becoming my reverse twin or becoming the entire seahawks footballs team, very handsome). in fitting with my entire heckin LIFE some buds probably thought these were jokes when they were not at all. they were just personal artistic bubbles tumbling up and popping in ways i didnt understand yet.

but through posting these thoughts and THEN writing trans tinglers and talking to my trans buds online, i started to realize there are all kinds of versions of a trans identity INCLUDING the ones that rolled around deep inside of me that i never had a name for.

three events helped chuck understand this

first: the trans buds chuck talked to while researching harriet porber said 'well i always knew if i could press a button and change my body to match my gender i would instantly do this' and chuck thought 'of course woudlnt we all do this?' and they said 'well no, do you feel this way?' and i would say 'yes very strongly'. i will FOREVER be grateful to trans community for these conversations and maybe it is another reason why being anti-gatekeeping is so important to chuck.

second: thought about all the games i have ever played like a dang videogame or a role playing game, chuck would ALWAYS choose ladybuck character. didnt really think this was a unique thing at time but it is a pattern across whole life

third: chuck was trotting around with some buds and they all said 'whose bod would you choose if you could transform into any body?' (this is common topic for chuck believe it or not.) and the buckaroo guys went around naming the usual brats pitt or handsome channing and it got to chuck and i said 'obviously brie larson' and then the dang guys just kind of stared at chuck and then i realized 'oh, i didnt even think my answer was unusual but i guess they were only talkin guy bods'

these three things happened pretty close to one another but they were all bubbling up for decades and expressed in various ways even chuck did not entirely understand

anyway. chucks way is NOT that i feel uncomfortable in my body and it does not bring me grief. i am not upset about it honestly. i do not even THINK about it most days. however, it is all TRUE and in a purely technical and utilitarian sense of A PLUS B then YES, male would not be my preferred gender.

didnt talk on this for a while because there are MANY dysphoric trans buckaroos who go through a lot of hardships and i have gone through ABSOLUTELY NONE IN THIS WAY. it has not made my life more difficult and it does not haunt me, so i do not want to have my voice drown out other trans buds who need space to shout. i am very privileged so even though technically this applies to chuck i do not need or want any bonus points.

that beings said, part of my journey on the autistic spectrum was to recognize that EVEN THOUGH my personal story is not tragic, it is still an important one to get out there onto this timeline. IN FACT there should be more stories of buckaroos who love being autistic like chuck. i am PROUD of my trot and i love my autism (this is also why i wanted to explicitly say my lead character in camp damascus is autistic)

so in the same way, when directly asked, i will say: i am technically non-dysphoric trans ALSO this has not weighed on my life at all. my story is not tragic it is full of joy and excitement. i will not shy away from this because there are all kinds of buckaroos on this spectrum.

anyway that is my VERY LONG TROT hope you enjoyed getting to know chuck a little more thank you for this question buckaroo

"Another day of writing awaited The Drunk. There was passion but no words. A complete story had been captured but without the will to translate it to paper. The writer who did not write was then a waster of time and talent, a retired fire kindler, an admirer of windows, and an icon for all work-shy youth."

-The Drunk, The Gambler, and The Lover

A transfem novella about loneliness, isolation, and addiction, all stemming from the feeling of being unseen and misunderstood

It's on Amazon and also at your local store and library for order.
