#It's just like

Gosh the amount of talent on this site is unbelievable. Breathtaking. Dumbfounding. Overwhelming. Every day you log on and see thousands of exquisite artists. Like, people say, "Oh I'm not that good," but that's because you're walking into a living art studio every time you open tumblr. You're good. You're great! You're all great. Look at all the drawers and painters. Look at all the writers. Look at all the writing. Look at the gif makers and the analysts and enthusiastic fans with fantastic recall for what they love. Look at the music. Voice acting. Video editing. Animation. Comedy. Look at the shitposting, a talent of joy if there ever was one. Look at the kindness to compliment each other's stuff. You think you're mediocre? Wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! Each person here is a star in the sky and together we make constellations.

With all the respect and love for your writing in the world, I would not count the neutral votes. The thought of you writing that fills me with horror and disgust, but I did vote neutral because it’s your blog and ultimately your choice. If, however, you’re going to count the neutrals as part of the yes group, I’m going in to change my vote to no. I love your writing, but that’s a level of depravity that makes me physically ill and I will not be part of its arrival. That is a slippery slope and I want off the sled.

girl it's just urine calm down.

This isn't even that serious but I increasingly think this is a major role in how people operate. This is about conservatives and yeah def, but I think it operates just as much in all sorts of contexts, especially now with how social media has turned dogpiling into a moral art. Look at how both TRA and GC spaces are obsessed with their own groupthink. And yes I do think GC spaces are in pretty bad shape in that regard, for all their talk of calling TRA spaces a cult.

Hell, I think a significant number of bi AND gay people are afraid to actively oppose biphobia like they might oppose other forms of prejudice because they know it'd be seen as cringe and stupid. I think this is why people react with such hostility if you ever ever bring up statistics about bisexual people.

the conversation on difficulty in games is always so weird because like.

Different games obviously have different things they want, and developers should be able to make games as difficult or easy as they want. I don't think it's necessarily a moral failure for a game to not be complete-able by some portion of players- I think that's just a side-effect of the medium. I don't think it's reasonable to claim that it's ableist for a puzzle game to require you to solve the puzzles to progress, in the same way it wouldn't be for a rhythm game to require you to beat certain songs.

like Cruelty Squad benefits a lot from it's unforgiving difficulty, and just being able to ask it to be easy would... really undermine the story that's being told about the ways capitalism consumes your humanity and empathy.

And at the same time Wrath of the Righteous and Baldur's Gate benefit a lot from having a story mode where you can't die- their stories are told through dialogue and character interactions more than through gameplay.

Some games don't have the option of difficulty levels, like MMOs, and then they have to just select a difficulty level that is satisfying for a good number of players. One of the ways it does this is by retroactively making dungeons and trials easier through both power creep and fairly generous gear syncs.

And it's been interesting watching people complaining about the Dawntrail spike in difficulty when it... doesn't really exist? the Dawntrail dungeons are all less difficult than Tower of Zot was before everyone could out-stat every mechanic, and they're already being entirely out-geared and stat-checked as more and more players are level 100.

It already feels so weird to play through last expansion's content and see so many mechanics be completely skipped because damage is so much higher.

When you're reading something that isn't specifically labeled as g/t but it's there for plot reasons and the author puts just a little too much focus on it....

[gatheredfates]

🐱 not because I think you're offputting or anything but because you are doing So Much All The Time and I'm always a little impressed and intimidated by people who can get their executives to function that consistently

This is so funny because, while I totally get what you mean, as someone who suffers from mad executive dysfunction at the best of times, I feel like I could be doing so much more and I only achieve the littlest amount at any given time. LMAO.

As long as I don't get side-tracked by life or like... something happens to disrupt a project I'm pretty solid, but if something happens it's all out the window. I do think that's a common thing, though; that you tend to look more put together than you feel, especially when I also utilise my queue and stuff so it always looks like I'm posting.

I'd like to get more of my personal work done but I think that's the biggest source of executive dysfunction, but that's like... a work on over time thing. I do try to keep my other projects going steady, so I'm glad it's appreciated! 😊

now get ready for

lemon getting a character idea from two very specific parts of one song that somehow both drives them up a wall and scratches the itch in their brain just right
