INTRODUCTION (woagh)

because i need to procrastinate

Yo, it's me. I go by bologna or bologba and use she/they pronouns

my website: https://bolognawebbedsite.neocities.org

my blog is mostly just reblogs of whatever the fuck shows up on my dash and music I make. Also shitty comics.

My interests are mostly just homestuck, primus, makin da music, and bass. I am but a simple creature of few interests.

before i go to sleep every night all the maids in the palace must line up outside my door and tuck me in and kiss me on the forehead. after each one leaves i quickly throw the covers off and start pouting again because i dont want to go to bed. this process takes 3 hours

What? No, it's not a "mechsplo forcefem" thing – she'd already figured out that she was a girl long before getting into the giant robot. The combat drugs did however make her gay.

Jerry: what can I say! Her pheromones were bad

George: bad pheromones?

Jerry: bad pheromones!

Simmons (new character I have made up): I like when a woman’s pheromones indicate high levels of daily stress

i don't want this to come off as strange and i also realize i don't know for sure what your pronouns or gender are, but based on how i've heard others refer to you i'm assuming you use he/him? (Apologies if not!!! Please disregard this message if i'm wrong here!!) I just wanted to say that it's been really helping me figure out my presentation as an autistic trans man seeing examples of people who are both autistic and have a generally "masculine" presentation. I sometimes get really in my head about how i "should" be acting and sometimes it helps to take a step back and realize where ableism can bleed into ideas of "how to act like a man", and that i don't have to force myself into behaviors that aren't natural to me as an autistic person. I don't know if any of this makes sense i am incredibly stoned, but thank you for doing what you do, it kicks ass 👍

Hey, I appreciate that!! I'm on that He / They grind. I basically do not care about pronouns. I'm generally sort of non-binary or agender - I basically view gender as a social construct that is put upon people and I don't really feel it in my heart. I don't believe in any ideas about "how to act like a man" or whatever. I still present as masculine though for how I want to be perceived in a sexuality sense. Just a heads up though, I'm not autistic tho lmao. Love the community, have many homies who are, but I am not personally autistic. I'm certainly neurodivergent, I've got Tourette's, OCD, and ADHD. Sorry to pull the representation rug out from under you hahaha. But I am glad to hear I was helping and I hope my overall vibe can still help you with your own presentation ! Thank you for reaching out, wish you the best .

The term Micro-transaction such is bullshit.

If I go spend 20 dollars at a restaurant we wouldn’t call it a micro-transaction, but if I spent the same amount of money in a video game then it is a micro-transaction?

It’s a bullshit term to try and normalize nickel and dimming people

It's such a weird relic, that term. If I recall correctly, it originated with independent creators attempting to figure out monetization schemes that would work for small websites. Scott McCloud used to propose this idea as a way to fund webcomics outside of the old systems of syndication or advertising revenue. Webcomic artists could sell each page of their comic for a fee as low as a couple of cents, and make a profit on sheer volume.

Then they made their way to video games. And it used to be that they presented a reasonably comprehensible bargain:

You get to play a full-featured videogame for free, in return for which the game will occasionally advertise a premium cosmetic or unlock of some kind, for prices like $.99 or a couple of dollars. This was considered slightly annoying, especially in the mobile gaming space, but the trade-off was clear. Free game, paid optional content for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

The absolute maximal price you'd pay for a League of Legends skin was about $30, and those skins were considered an absolutely outrageous expense for totally dedicated League of Legends lifers, and were expected to be the absolute peak of technical possible quality. And those were still mocked as ridiculous expenses for weirdos, the sort of thing that no normal or average player should ever be expected to blow money on.

Bethesda was mocked for MONTHS for trying to sell $2.50 horse armor cosmetics in Oblivion. Microtransactions? In a premium product? In a sixty dollar game? Absolutely unacceptable! That was a breaking of the bargain!

But Bethesda's transgression was the thin end of a wedge. More and more of those post-launch monetizations started creeping into premium products, and by sheer erosion, by sheer slow grinding normalization, they started to multiply and the prices started to creep up and up and up, and day 1 DLC became normal, and ultimate and premium editions and super ultimate exclusive digital deluxe collector's editions and battle passes and lootboxes and... yeah.

It used to be a... not amazing, but at least a reasonably fair bargain. A transparent bargain. You get to play a game for free, and the price you pay instead is the soft pressure of microtransactions—actually micro transactions—being advertised to you.

But the line has to go up. The number needs to get bigger. The center could not hold.
