[case]

Did this really late yesterday, so just posting this again for anyone who wants like 700 games for $5. (Surprising amount of F/F stuff in there, if you're into that)

https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality

[icecheetah]

A Couple Reccomendations of Games from that Bundle:
Us Lovely Corpses (pay attention to the warnings though. also this one is already free)
Oneshot
Pixel Fireplace (WARNING: May be unsuitable for photosenstive people. It's possible to turn the fire into a rapidly flashing rainbow(edit: Avoid typing "rainbow","firecracker" or "firework" if rapid flashing is a concern for you. There may be others.))

Games I have wanted that are in there:
Cook Serve Delicious 2
Oxenfree
Extreme Meatpunks Forever
Night In the Woods

[(Anonymous)]

I have never felt so attacked by a game as I was by Hot Pot Panic- a game in which you stuff yourself full of all-you-can-eat hot pot while pretending to listen to a conversation. IT'S SO SPECIFIC AND SO RELATABLE LMAO D:

[caecilia]

Highly recommend Night in the Woods

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! This is a great deal and so many interesting games.

What's the worst attempt at grey morality you've seen?

Re: Inspired by #1...

[philstar22]

For me the worst are where everyone is unlikable and there is no one to actually root for. I'm not saying everything needs full-on heroes. But if every single character is self-centered and entirely in it for themselves and the only difference between the main characters and the designated villains is that the main ones are the POV characters and maybe the villain got a "kick the dog" moment the author assumed would make the audience automatically root for the main characters, I'm really not interested in reading or watching any further. There clearly is an audience for that kind of stuff, but it isn't me.

Re: Inspired by #1...

[greghousesgf]

does all the characters in Family Guy being assholes count or not?

The people who write Dragon Age keep trying to 'both sides' it and failing. Sorry, no-one's gonna barrack for the fucking 16th century Catholic church complete with Inquisition! It's not gonna happen!

Re: Inspired by #1...

[(Anonymous)]

It's probably not the worst I've seen, but it's the most memorable because I've played Tales of the Abyss so many times. (Old spoilers below.)


Finding out Anise chose to spy on the party and aid in murder (of her closest friend no less) because if she didn't, her already-poor parents would lose their source of income entirely, is treated as such a HARD decision poor thing because they're both terrible choices! When it should actually have been a no-brainer which choice was more evil, and she chose that one.

It's a shame too, because it would have been easy to make it more nuanced. It's not hard to believe it wasn't just her parents' money but also her parents' and her own lives that were being threatened, since Mohs would certainly have the authority to do that to her. But with the way the game presents it, at best you can only headcanon that he was threatening her more severely.

I still love Anise, but that part did not have the best writing.

Might not be fair because I didn't finish the series due to its coming across to me as a bad attempt at grey morality, but I'll go with the Netflix series of The Punisher.

Venting/Advice Thread

[(Anonymous)]

For those that need it!

Re: Venting/Advice Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm genuinely trying here. I don't want the cognitive-restructuring therapist to think i'm not. But i just can't with this second phase. All the evidence against the thoughts is wrong, and all the evidence for probably doesn't count as evidence again, and i cannot seem to crack this one. It got to where i ripped up the sheets id filled in before, and it still didnt help even in a sense of catharsis. Now i'm full of evidence that i'm wasting my life AND torn paper.

I'm dreading the 15th.

I am... in a bit of a quandary with a friend right now. She has taken to calling herself a "TIRF"-- a Trans-Inclusive Radical Feminist. Essentially, she adores all women and rejects all men, and militantly works for the betterment of women and wlw. She is well-loved within her community and seen as doing a lot of amazing work on the ground that a lot of others can't do. I myself deeply admire her passion and her dedication, even if I think she could be a little more balanced.

The problem is... the further I go in life, the more I find myself seeing exactly where she's coming from. Every man in my life has hurt me, more and more so. Complicating things is that I'm a pansexual nb. But sometimes when I'm at my lowest, I feel like I'm doing it to myself, and if I could just shirk off everything surrounding my physical sex and just be a gnc lesbian woman, then maybe I'd finally feel like I belong somewhere.

But then that feels like a lie too, and then I get angry at my friend because I irrationally feel like she put those thoughts in my head. I've been distant with her lately and she's noticed. I don't know what to do! She hasn't even done anything wrong. Please, someone just break my brain open and fix whatever the hell is wrong in there.

Signed, a deeply hurt gender-confused pansexual socially-broken budding misandrist who wants to be none of those things.

TW, discussion of police violence

[(Anonymous)]

I cannot, cannot understand the logic behind "Dismantle the police." People think that if resources are redistributed so nobody "needs" to commit crimes anymore, there will be no crime and no need for police? I think that's bullshit. The existence of our current shithole of a police force and the society that lets it thrive proves that the logic is bullshit. The police don't "need" to murder black people, the mentally disabled, or anyone else they do. They do it because they want to. People like them would be criminals in a police-free society, but who would deal with them?

The logic is that everything would be perfect if people had everything they need has an underlying belief that all people are good and fair. Obviously they aren't. Even if most are, there will always be a few who seize the opportunity to take advantage of the rest of us and put themselves in charge, and we'd be back where we started. I don't understand how protestors of police violence could think a peaceful crime-free society is possible.

Not exactly asking for advice, so this is just venting, but maybe someone can explain it to me?

I think I have a sinus infection. I think. But I'm feeling paranoid right now that it might be COVID. Even though I've done everything right and have been masked and gloved and social distanced every time I've been outside. But I'm still freaking out.

No fever. Just head congestion and pain in my head, ear canals, nose. Weird feeling in back of throat that I assume is either from nasal drip or swollen lymph nodes.

But nothing that seems COVID-specific (nothing respiratory, I can breathe, no coughing, no fever).

But I'm still scared.

I am making a terrarium for my mother of crocheted items.

[kaijinscendre]

I am doing mushrooms and a snail. Maybe a rabbit. It will be full of fake moss and such. I need one more thing to crochet. Either an animal or plant that will fit with that. Any ideas?

Re: I am making a terrarium for my mother of crocheted items.

A little log? Or a small bird?

OH my god. I definitely need to get more sleep. First I misread the comment above yours as saying "I think I have a sinful infection."

Then I scrolled down to your comment, but I didn't read the headline, so all I saw was, "I am doing mushrooms and a snail. Maybe a rabbit," and I just thought, "This must be their hyperbolic way of saying they're doing a LOT of mushrooms. ALL the mushrooms. Tripping absolute BALLS levels of mushrooms."

Brain, what are u doing? Get it together up there, pal.

Re: I am making a terrarium for my mother of crocheted items.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you already doing ferns? Would a frog, toad or turtle be too hard to do? (I don't crochet and have no idea.) I keep thinking of terrarium plants and come up with... those cool plants that trap bugs like venus flytraps, or jack in the pulpits. Butterfly perched on a branch?

I'm not sure it will fit at all but the mini armadillos are awfully cute:

But I think a butterfly or a dragonfly could be really nice.

I hang out a lot in spaces that talk about gender and sex so I’m very used to seeing the terms AFAB and AMAB. Now I’m seeing ACAB everywhere and I always get confused for a minute. “Assigned...what at birth? Cat? Computer? It can’t be ‘cis’, that would be redundant. Is there an obscure term that starts with C?? Something in Old English??? What even — OH right...”
