Anyway tl;dr Buy my friend Jo's game!

It's a super charming platformer that she put out awhile ago with really cute and expressive art that I think provides a lot of the classic platforming joy of figuring out the puzzle of how to combine a constrained group of interactions and getting sucked into mastery of them!

Only $4.99!!

Available on both Steam and Itch.io!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!!!

Like. I don't think there's any way for me to publicly disagree with common sentiment Without sounding like a dickhead (not to mention contributing to a discourse that frankly I'm not sure it worth the time)

But every time the wave of "mad about nintendo pricing" rolls by (which why is it always nintendo why don't I see this energy for sony or microsoft do the ppl I follow just not care abt those consoles. Is it that somehow they seem less for children.) I can't help but get rubbed the wrong way as someone who video games were almost always too expensive for.

Like the nostalgia for a $30 ds game doesn't scan for me bcus that was expensive too!! But there are soo many ways now to play free or cheap games. Even more than when flash was big!

And genuinely I get the sorrow and hurt of being priced out of a fun time with your friends. All of the games that are important to me are ones that have no wide critical acclaim or nostalgia, and I feel alienated by conversations of the ones that do most of the time.

But I think we're doing a disservice to ourselves if we make these conversations about economy and fun the same thing here. I Really think it's muddy water to feel upset about pricing and make that about the game or the company when it's very clearly a general industry and economy problem! And I really think it's muddy water to feel upset about pricing and make that about the game or the company when there are soooo many opportunities for fun out there that you just need to be willing to engage with

I think my favourite concept in Dunmeshi is that... There is an urgency in most of us to sacrifice our peace of mind when push comes to shove. Perhaps to worry means that you care about the emergency at hand (whatever level of emergency that is subjectively) and we pinpoint focus on the task and everything else disappears. Our sleep and diet patterns change even though these activities are pivotal for our dopamine systems and functionally make us feel healthier and help us think clearer. It's self-punishing; the "grind" so to speak — to persevere we have to forget the self and think solely of the object.

But Dunmeshi doesn't let you get away with that. These people's friend is captive in a monster's body, their world is literally ending, and still they sit down to eat. To eat is to live. Only living things eat and it is the privilege of the living. Yes, there is a crisis. Yes they are upset and heartbroken and distressed. But they still focus on the food: the very thing that sustains you and gives you energy to think, to move, to keep going. A moment of gratitude offered to life by actually, consciously indulging in it. They aren't bad people for eating while Falin's suffering, no. It is simply unfeasible to give parts of yourself to a situation while hoping to gain twice as much back. Just take the time to make food, think about how delicious it looks, and eat. Even if you fail, you need to eat. Even if you succeed, you need to eat. You need to live life no matter what. You need to enjoy it no matter what. It is never "inappropriate" to just live your life.

It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

hi

[petziez]

happy tdov to people who don't pass or have no interest in passing, who can't pass because there is no culturally recognised category for the way they want to be recognised, who flip flop and fuck around, who can't hide their transness and have to plan their everyday around being visible, who can't signal their transness and have to come out over and over because the default presumption is intolerable, who don't have the resources yet or the knowhow or the willpower to change what they want to change, whose transness is warped by a hegemonic image of ideal transness that is almost as difficult to escape as the hegemonic image of cisness, who don't have a justification prepared for the assertion that they are trans but can no longer justify the assertion that they are not, who have a million justifications that are all surplus to the fundamental requirement (that society mandated one articulation of you and you chose another), et cetera and so forth across the world and universe forever. your version is right. don't concede.

[poem text: ma says there’s an angel in the creek out behind old mr. henry’s shack. she saw it when she was seven years old, playing by herself while her pa helped mr. henry with his hay bales: sliced her bare foot open on a jagged rock, and the angel swam towards the blood in the water.

ma looked right into the angel’s six blind eyes and asked him, “how come you’re down here, sleepin’ in the mud, when you could be up in heaven, plantin’ sunflowers for god?”

his wings were like a dragonfly’s, transparent and glimmerin’, and his halo was a ring of algae. the angel grinned, three rows of sharp teeth, and said, “girlie, god has plans for the bluegills too.” /end poem text.]
