absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
Christ, you guys werent kidding when you said that people don’t understand (nor care) what “neoliberalism” means.
What is this. This isn’t neoliberalism. It’s rainbow capitalism but it’s not “the definition of neoliberalism”. You guys just grab words and misuse them as much as you like so they lose their actual meaning and become completely useless, preventing actual useful conversations about the topics from taking place. You’re so annoying.
Why is Tumblr user Vicholas, local user from Chile, annoyed that it’s so common here to completely mangle the meaning of neoliberalism, distracting from actual conversations about it. I wonder. I wonder why. I wonder if there are actual historical reasons for why she feels it matters.
I made a somwhat similar post recently lol.
In case anyone reading doesn’t get why two Chilean bloggers just happen to not be reacting positively to people using “neoliberal(ism)” to mean anything from “cringe liberal” to “capitalism 2.0 bad”, it’s because neoliberalism is a very specific economic model that the US first tested in Chile by deposing of our democtracially elected government (that they’d spent 3 years sabotaging before that point), installing a fascist fascist military dictatorship that tortured, executed and disappeared thousands for over 17 years instead, and this economic model we know as neoliberalism left our country with a wild level of economic inequality after that is still very much fucking us over to this day, more than 30 years after the dictatorship ended.
you know what’s always bothered me? how people talk about their babies having “random weird fussy days” and they get mad about it right but the thing about that is...
babies don’t steadily grow, they grow in spurts, which means on a growth day they’re in quite a lot of pain ... but no one takes it seriously because a baby can’t communicate that they’re growing over a centimeter over night and that HURTS
like, massage your fussy baby ... theyre having a hard time ... theyre growing obscene amounts in a short period of time and need love and care ...
people will be like “my baby crawled yesterday but now theyre all fussy and acting like they cant crawl.”
ok i dont see you trying to run a marathon every day during a growth spurt when you did it yesterday ... fuckin chill. that baby is hurting.
everything about a babys growth is painful but no one talks about it??? why?! respect your baby and understand what amazing feats theyre accomplishing every day. geez. !!!!
doctors literally have to tell people “no you cant spoil your infant by holding them too much and helping them feel better when they cry” and tbh that alone is disgusting that people have so little regard for their babies they think providing adequate care to them is the same as “spoiling” them and will use their periods of growth and pain as examples of a spoiled baby. 😡
like did yall know youre not even supposed to wait for a newborn to cry before feeding them?? youre supposed to feed them before they cry because crying is actually hard on their stomachs and makes things worse!!! but people would apparently rather be annoyed at their child before feeding them????
There’s been multiple studies that show how children who were held a lot, talked to, dotted on, and had their feelings taken seriously as small babies/children have healthier brains than those who were treated like you said or worse.
Neglected kids have less function in their temporal lobes and are more likely to suffer from mental illness whether they cognitively remember the events or not. Another thing that has been known for decades now.
It starts at birth. Children MUST be cared for. Leaving them to sob hysterically or punishing them in any way for being in pain can end up dooming them to a sad life. This culture of letting your kid cry and even getting mad at them for it is exactly why the older generations typically has such a problem with emphasizing with others.
Love your kids.

Cw for brief csa mention. Hey it’s me
My name is Kihnindewa, I’m a 22 yr old black ndn bisexual two-spirit (they/them, thank u). I’m a tarot reader, certified reiki practitioner, a writer & im trying to move out in 2021 ! Asap, really. I’m struggling really hard to function in my current situation & my quality of life is trash.
I live on tribal grounds in a food desert. I have to drive an hour round trip to buy food & medicine, and to work. I have joint issues, driving so much is slowly making my pain more & more unbearable. And I live in the home I was s*xually ab*sed in as a child, which is extremely hard on my PTSD. And that isn’t even everything. I cannot continue to live here. I was set to move out last month, with another black ndn two-spirit friend, but I was f*red after blatant racial discrimination & everything fell apart. Anyways.
I usually have tarot & reiki commissions open, and I have a part time job ! But the point of this post is to promote my patreon, where I do tarot readings & post poetry every month, to secure consistent income for myself. You can get familiar with my writing here* & check out some feedback from my tarot readings here & here :)
With my income at my r*staurant/r*tail job considered, my goal for patreon is $500 ! I’m currently at $85, which is amazing & I’m extremely grateful & proud. Thank you all so much for supporting me as much as u have. I would really appreciate boosting this post & considering becoming a patron if you can & you’re interested in what I do, thank you ily all so much.
(updated) 207/500 !!! You are all saving my life & giving me hope. No dramatics. Thank you

*aight I’ve added my writing tag up there 3 times and it just keeps disappearing ! it’s literally just “my writing” I’ll leave it on this post for u
Indigenous Motherhood
Wrtten by: Andrea Landry
Colonialism has motherhood/parenting all wrong.
No, our babies will not sleep alone as they have been sleeping beside us, on us, and between us, for generations before the colonizer told us what was “right.”
No, our babies will not “cry it out,” as they are designed to cry in order to get their needs met through us. It is scientifically proven that “crying it out” causes all kinds of trauma on the brain, and thus snowballs into long term emotional impacts. They will nurse, be held, hear our traditional songs and lullabies, and be placed in our swings for comfort, even if it is 10 times a night, so they know we are here and we love them fully.
No, our children will not stop nursing just because colonialism deems it as “inappropriate” anytime it is over the age of one. Because aunties and mothers (and even kokums) have been co-nursing our babies longer than colonialism has even existed. And it’s more than just food. It’s comfort, it’s connection, it’s safety. It’s love.
No, our babies will not be forced to grow up in order to cater to, and serve, capitalistic and colonial standards and environments in ways such as “sleeping through the night.” I’ll be up 10 times a night and show up the next day to get the work done. Until we are both ready to wean.
No, our babies will not have to endure tough outcomes in their lives based on our behaviours as adults- for how we treat others as adults, plants, animals and human, will fall back on our children, and our children’s children, and our children’s children’s children. We will treat one another with that deep love.
No, our babies will not be forced to suffer being away from kinships for long periods of time for the purpose of capitalism and colonial ideas of “success” for an adult. If babies are present in classrooms, boardrooms, and work spaces, nursing and playing just to get that connecting time, that is indigenous kinship.
No, our babies will not be shamed, judged, or criticized for feeling emotions, because we are undoing what those priests and those nuns have taught us about our relationship to our emotions. All emotions are allowed in our homes, and in public spaces.
And no, our babies will never cater to the colonizer, their systems, or their standards of what a “good child” is.
Colonialism has motherhood/parenting all wrong.
Because our babies will grow up firm in their kinships and strong in who they are and where they come from.
Based on raising them as best as we can with the teachings, morals, and principles, of our nations and teachings.
And based on raising them in a way that works for us.
Because this is indigenous parenthood.
And it is a force to be reckoned with.
if you think showing ur kids harry potter will radicalize them u are wrong and u should just instead watch a bug’s life and chicken run. there are gays in there, even. no not “canonically,” shut up, i’m old and in my day we simply UNDERSTOOD when a chicken was a lesbian or a stick bug was a gay man with the telepathic connection between our massive gay brains like the baby geniuses. i took a benadryl
i hate the way mental illness is conceptualized in general but specifically on here where there’s this weird focus on disorders defining what symptoms you have rather than disorders being the constructed result of the symptoms that you have, which exist outside of the framework of the disorder
you don’t have to have a specific disorder in order for your symptoms to be real and meaningful or for you to be able to describe your symptoms in certain ways (like, if you feel that “dissociation” describes your experiences, you don’t have to have a disorder that causes dissociation in order for that to be a meaningful way for you to understand your experiences). you don’t need the permission granted by a disorder to experience symptoms
i don't wear skirts and dresses to feel feminine, i wear skirts and dresses because i like when they go swoosh
This is so good. Makes me feel like I'm really helping.
Which I need, because this kind of sucks.
If you're staying home during #Quarantine2020 you're helping make things better than they would be otherwise
For anyone else really feeling the effects of wide-scale gaslighting, feeling like you’re totally insane for still staying home while everyone else tries to go back to normal:
You’re not insane, you are doing the right thing. Please keep doing it. I love you.
