Yep I sure am still here

Age: old. Gender: wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy. Video games, memes, Souyo, farming games, ancient fandoms, do not cite the deep magics to me etc. etc. Trying to be a writer, mostly just struggling

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

[qui-bono]

All those new inventions did useful things! Putting an Internet connection in your printer just makes it worse. The need for hypergrowth has smothered any attempt at innovative risk-taking or making anything real. It's just grift after grift since 2010 or so.

On the one hand, ATLUS can pry "good with your hands" out of MY cold dead hands.

But on the other hand, this is good! This means they aren't copy-pasting the old dialogue and calling it a day. This is a more accurate translation of the dialogue from that scene. Between this and the new direction for Teddie's voice, I really feel like they are actually trying to deliver an experience that is close to the original Japanese but, y'know, in English.

Do I still hate that they are replacing the whole cast? Yes. Am I devastated that "good with your hands" is gone? Also yes.

POV: Its 2011 and your best friend just came over to tell you about this old album he was able to get imported. Its called All the Right Reasons by Nickelback

[a-random-fandom-friend]

It's pride month so I'll allow myself to express one opinion on the internet :

There are no "exact color" of pride flags.

I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.

There are no "exact colors" of pride flags because you should do them with what you have ! Nobody should care if you use a crimson red instead of a cherry red or whatever ! Be free ! wave your colors ! The colors you have !

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

[chanth-thara]

okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.

No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.

Media I Have Consumed In 2026 Part 12

This was a fun audiobook. It did definitely take me a while to get into and it is surprisingly short, but overall it was pretty good. Better written than some of the books I've attempted to read/listen to lately, for sure, but I have definite complaints. The way some of the sentences are structured don't really translate well to audiobook format. Some sentences were very long and meandered off into unnecessary explanations mid-sentence, almost certainly either via an em dash or parentheses. It certainly added a lot of flavor to the main character's internal monologue but it was also pretty annoying to listen to. I spent more time thinking about how I would have reworded some of the sentences than actually listening to and paying attention to what was happening in the plot.

That being said, the world is very unique, very carefully constructed, and the most compelling thing about this book. The main character is just barely not annoying. She almost stews a little too long in how disadvantaged and how much of a poor loser social outcast she is, but she gets over that and does some pretty cool things. The main male character, who everyone but the protagonist can tell is supposed to be the romantic male lead, is also pretty compelling. He's not quite likeable, though that may be the narrator's bias. Other characters are fine, but we just don't spend enough time with them to really care about them at all. Like I said, the setting is the best part of the book and it really shines.

I'll give this a solid 6.5/10. Leagues better than a lot of the trash in the fantasy genre, but definitely could have been better. For 99.9% of the book I was thinking that if there are sequels I probably won't read them, but the author threw in a very compelling final sentence that made me just curious enough that I might give the second book a try. We'll see.

[orteil42]

we're overdue for a reactive wave of anti-cozy games. animal crossing but office workers. restaurant management but applebee's. farming sim but all spreadsheets. never see an ear of corn the whole game

[artikgato]

Well, not exactly this, but I do think a reaction to all the cozy games is starting to happen. !

There are quite a few dark/horror farming sims and life sims either already out or upcoming. For example, Grimshire and Harvest Island are already available on Steam. In August we're getting Grave Seasons, which is a horror farming sim with a murder mystery in it. In October there will be Neverway, which is a life sim with a heavy emphasis on psychological horror. Village in the Shade will be out later this year (in Japanese first and then internationally a few months later I think), and was described by the developers as an unsettling and creepy farming sim.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

[nikoisme]

i imagine being medicated would feel good as fuck. unfortunately i have to rawdog whatever's wrong with me

[tahthetrickster]

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad
