Been eyeing Cyberpunk 2077 lately this winter sale... is it worth it? I remember there being massive backlash when it first came out. Are the waters calm now or is this still a stray flying bullet I should dodge

is it like Mass Effect? What even happens in that game? Can I smooch aliens? Who's the hottest character?

Had dinner with some friends, all of whom identify as feminist, and we got on to the topic of the sex trade.

I brought up research I had done for a paper on sex trafficking and mentioned how lots of trafficking starts as consensual sex work, such as dancing or calming, and evolves into being pimped. I also brought up how when prostitution is legalized, human trafficking increases because men expect to be able to buy sex but women aren't willing to sell it so pimps turn to migrant women, the Indigenous, and other vulnerable women to meet the demand. I also brought up how dangerous sex work is because it's hard to stop a John in the act if he gets violent.

Their response.

"some women want to though"

Anger is not a strong enough word to describe how I felt. It was infuriating. And these are educated women! Liberal feminism truly is a disease. It rots the brain

Alastor, Boss, which is better, coke or Pepsi? :D

:] anon

"Didn't I literally just answer this? It's Coke."

"Uh, no. Pepsi is objectively better."

"Ah, yes. That must be why Coke is the most popular soft drink in the world."

So I'm nearly done with the last of the three Phantasmat games on Steam (Crucible Peak, The Dread of Oakville, and Endless Night). I loved Crucible Peak, didn't really enjoy Dread of Oakville, and Endless Nights is fun so far!

However, playing these games made me realizing something, and the Phantasmat series is honestly a perfect example of it:

I tend to favor Hidden Object games that stylize their art and characters. The backgrounds + hidden object scenes can be unique for sure, some have more of the dark + gothic vibe I like, but they're usually the same detailed scenery that it doesn't bother me too much. (Unless they're lazy 3D objects and are hard-to-navigate). I find that the characters are what matter to me to make a game 'special' out of the hundreds of Hidden Objects out there.

Looking at the original Phantasmat game(and Crucible Peak), the characters are stylized, their designs work with their true 'deceased' forms, and their animations look well-done, there's more fluid movement with their eyes and mouths:

But compare this to Endless Night, Dread of Oakville, and other Phantasmat games, where they make the characters look realistic and generic. Nothing about these designs are truly unique - there's no special silhouettes, the expressions + animations are awkward, and there's no real stylization to make it 'stand out' from other games. You'll find dozens that have characters that look like these:

3D models can have good character designs - my favorite HOPA game of all time, Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome, has their characters 3D-modeled in-game, but the examples above look too hyper-realistic, and it limits their animations and expressions GREATLY compared to just...2D-drawn characters.

Has this ever bothered anyone else?

Almost done, and perfect for posting - a 13-repeat Lost Souls shawl, for Friday the 13th. It is absolutely for sale.

Due to a change in circumstances in the past year, I am in fact counting on the sales of my finished objects for survival. Ask any questions you want. Make me an offer whom I try not to have a panic attack about all the things they found wrong with my vehicle during inspection today.

The yarn is 2/14 alpaca silk.

NEW STICKERS || Cottage Helpers

Had an idea to make stickers for writing on? After realizing how easy they were to write on when I mark them as damaged or the wrong size lol. And then I wanted little characters to hold them and went with... object heads! Been a while since I drew some proper faceless object heads and I honestly think they turned out pretty adorable :}

Having a lot of feelings looking through the items in the Sondheim estate sale, but in particular looking the book collections, book expected an unexpected: many thesauruses; 20+ books on George Seurat; lots of H.P. Lovecraft; Nabokov's essay collections; some Sade; all the books about himself; and many, many, many books about games.
