Every remake of a game should come with a copy of the game it is remaking that is compatible with modern hardware but otherwise untouched and I'm not even exaggerating this should be mandated by law. If you're going to attempt to recreate a piece of art you have to give people access to its original context otherwise it becomes the only context and makes the previous version simply a superceded product

Brilliant.
Proposing an alternative idea to "Great Man" History called "Some Asshole" History: the idea that history is generally driven by trends and patterns but once in a while Some Asshole comes along, says "what does this button do?" and blows everything up, and by the time things stabilise again the trends and patterns are different
To qualify as some asshole you have to
Actively disrupt the historical trends and patterns around you
Not be predictable based on the trends and patterns of the previous 100 years or so
So, for example, you could easily predict the French Revolution and that it would lead to a period of instability culminating in the rise of a military dictator. But you probably could not predict that said dictator would rewrite the book on European warfare, briefly raise France to hegemony over the continent, completely overhaul German politics, set the state for Italian unification, and pave the way for Britain taking control of Egypt and South Africa. So Napoleon Bonaparte counts as Some Asshole
By contrast, nobody involved in the transition from Roman Republic to Roman Empire qualifies because the biggest curveball in that whole mess was Julius Caesar getting assassinated and that wasn't exactly unpredictable

- TRASH BLESSINGS -
A series of pieces based off of common urban fauna with the aim of reminding people of traits in them we could all do well emulating sometimes, and celebrating the ability of nature to carve out a place in any environment.
Interested in seeing these on patches or pins? Please send me a message! If there’s enough interest, I’ll look into the cost of having them made.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
