simultaneously i think some of the more extreme reaction to the toriel and sans scene in deltarune were a key example of people jumping on any oppurtunity to demonise and scrutinise a female character to a bizarre and misogynistic extent, but also that people's insistence that the scene is purely silly and putting down any uncomfortable reactions or deeper analysis on it as stupid fandom discourse is really annoying.
#deltarune spoilers#idk. the scene struck home as someone who has always hated interacting with drunk older family members#and ive heard similar sentiments from people with divorced parents or who've faced neglect#i think it for sure displays flaws in toriel's character and also that it makes her a more interesting character for it#but i think the people who were calling her abusive for it were jumping the gun a ton#the game solidly places you within kris' perspective for the scene and the juxtaposition makes it intentionally really jarring#most of what makes the scene uncomfortable are tone and timing and framing of coincidence and not like#the idea that toriel should not be allowed to drink or have guests over or whatever

I bet it feels so good to be a visual novel character and change to a drastically different sprite for emphasis during conversation

Nothing in the world feels as unjust as the fate of the Disco Elysium developers.
Imagine you build this in-depth fictional setting over the course of decades with your friends, and then decide to turn it into a game for fun. You end up creating one of the most celebrated and well-written RPGs of all time and become celebrated for reviving a dying genre.
A few months later, you're fired from the company you founded for criticizing the new direction its taking. The company has the copyright not only to the game you made, but literally everything in the world of the game, which spans decades of lore you built for no profit with your group of friends.
Like, this is a nightmare that I didn't even know existed before I ran into it. To have, what is essentially a passion project that branched off from a TTRPG campaign, be pulled from your hands by a corporate entity that only yearns to abuse your creation for maximum profit. I couldn't imagine myself going on creating anything after that.

I hate when another car forces you to park terribly but then they leave before you and it’s just like great. Well now my atrocious park job is deprived of context and I look like an asshole

The best thing you can do in this life is play a video game with your friends and take turns doing silly voices for all of the characters ☝️this is fact checked by the sacred boar at the center of the earth

experiencing adolescence in the 2010s has fucked my perspective of the word “epic” totally beyond repair. i will forever view it in the same league as words like “awesomesauce” and “legitness” im sorry. theres just no going back

this sentence came so far out of left field i reflexively closed the tab and had to open it up again to take this screenshot. i mean like yes its true that mushrooms are not plants but ive literally never ever ever ever met or even heard of anyone anywhere at any time who has used this definition of a plant-based diet
