something something the cycle continues

glaze really struggled with this one but- i like the idea that 8 brakes up and ties together a bed using dead coral and a canvas they found. I'm assuming the elevator is going to act as a base so they wanted to make it more comfortable.

Romance and videogames, certainly an... interesting topic (I think)

Upfront, I just don't really care for it. Doesn't help that I'm very much aromantic, so I'll be discussing things with that lens, but there's one thing that only just occurred to me about how romance is treated in games that I'm particularly not a fan of.

I don't like romance as the end goal of every relationship where it's a potential option.

It feels... weird. Especially when nigh every game that does that also conflates sex and romance together. There's a number of times where I do like a character and think they're interesting, but the only way to actually continue on with their personal stuff is to romance them. If you don't, then they act all sad and disappointed (which, let me tell you, does not do any favours for my "can't make the fictional virtual people upset"-ness) and you can't really do much more with them. Or other cases where you agree to something thinking "ah yeah this is something I'd just casually do with people for funsies" but apparently the game decides to take that as a romance thing for some reason.

It's almost like those games are (inadvertently or otherwise) saying that the only relationships that really matter are the romantic ones, which... I have many issues with that actually. Or that the end goal of any relationship is to end up romantically involved, which I also have issues with. Doesn't help that 98% of games that do stuff like this also only allow for monogamy, like cowards. Though (and I can't believe I'm saying this) polygamy actually has its own issues here, because then this situation applies to so many more characters at once.

Don't even get me started on the conflation of sex and romance, and how the former of those often just feels like a strange form of player reward for doing the romance.

I know games can't account for every single option or every single kind of player, fuck just even thinking about the scope of doing such a thing terrifies me. But, if you're going to heavily include romance into something that isn't predominantly a romance genre, I would very greatly appreciate the option to go "sure I'll go along with whatever, but I don't want anything romantic to come out of this." Without tanking my reputation with them, preferably. Sometimes people are cool enough without a romantic relationship, so let me keep that.

hgdfjks ok wait i forgot abt how ik min would be super good at videogames

[chadepitanga]

I dont believe there's a set rule for like. "If you do this you suck, no nuance" etc. but my good god. I wish people understood that their interests, what they put time and effort into crafting and talking about, says something about who they are as a person, no matter how much they want to throw fiction and art and humor and who they date or how they date or how they treated that friend that one time, or anything that makes them look bad to anyone, really, into a vaccum thats separated from any social judgement that could happen, anything that could be a character flaw.

Not that I'm one to be judge of anything. I'm not a cop I'm just a dude with my own fucked up issues in my silly little head. But I am wary of the company I keep. Minorities can't have the luxury of treating conservative thinking, prone-ness to hate speech, sadism(not the fun consensual kind of it) and lack of empathy towards suffering caused by abuse of power, as something that has no consequence.
