hi this is a rant, you dont have to read it, just the person i mention has my accs on every other media, plus tumblr nicest safe place.

i think my friend secretly has a twitter addiction because i was telling them how alot of new characters in x game are basically useless and have no unique purpose unless you really like them.

she then brings up another game i play that she doesnt, and pretends to know what shes talking about so i joked like haha pretends to understand.

and then she comes out with randomly, "so you can enjoy it"

and i was like what? (are you giving me permission right now to like a game that you dont play ?)

and then she was like because (first game) is bad and second is better. or something....

like ah yes because i dont like the direction of this game right now totally means i was calling it trash and saying other games are way better. (im so like wtf i didnt mention any other games, she brought them up) like talk about putting words in my mouth.... and both of these games arent even similar....

and homestly right now im burnt out of most games i play, everything is pretty boring because ive overdone it. cries.

amyway ig looking for new games and friends who are gonna act their age because this is some pre-school shit im too old for this.

i shouldnt let it bother me but its just like, oh so do you not respect me like i thought you did...

Image 1: a tweet by @/RaeOfStarShine "Rae" which says "Autism on TV: I say insulting things to people and when they are upset I argue with their logic instead of apologising. Autism in real life: a friend hasn't spoken to me in a few days so I am analysing everything I have ever said to them in case it was rude and they hate me now".

#tv characters with autism always seem to carry this unshakeable confidence in themselves #like they've never been truly rejected by people they cared about

#whereas every autistic person i know myself included

#has at some point had to internalise the message 'there is a line at which people will get sick of you.'

#this line is invisible and you don't know which of your natural behaviours push you closer to that line #and which are fine to do and help build relationships

#so you had a childhood of just being constantly surprised when suddenly you find the line

#and it's a bad surprise because now you've lost something or someone you care about and it's your fault #you might not be able to get it back either - you just have to accept that life is like stumbling through a minefield in the dark

#sometimes you'll get to the other end. sometimes you'll lose an arm or a leg. and you have no idea which or when.

#and this means that a lot of us do the logical thing and don't move

#we don't socialise we don't stand out we don't show any sliver of personality in case that's the step that blows us up

#we toe the ground so carefully hoping we'll be able to pick up on the danger before we die from it

#but there'll always be those you don't see coming

#and then you end up lonely and people tell you to make friends you have to be yourself

#being yourself is synonymous with deciding to just start running. you know you *could* in theory do it. #but your body's so aware of the danger it physically won't let you

#so what now?

My favs, an exhaustive analysis

Adopted

Can use ice powers

Wits & cunning™

Half of the fandom missinterprets him to such a baffling extent their interpretation is a whole new character who happens to have his name

Clothes have so many details I could write a 50,000+ word essay about all the symbolism in them

Deeply loves his adoptive family but has a complicated relationship with them

Had to fight his brother at some point and has never been the same since

Has little to no interest on his homeland when compared to his love for his adoptive city

Hides his insecurities behind a façade of false self-confidence and a charming smile

"If this particular problem was not his doing, he surely knows how to solve it"

The end justifies the means (mostly)

Was born as the heir of his homeland's crown, but for various reasons, this is of no interest to him

Got into a position of power that was meant to be his brother's, yielded/would yield it back without hesitation

Unironically needs to go to therapy

Too many issues (trust issues, family issues, abandonment issues... the list goes on)

His adoptive brother has called him a traitor or a liar at some point and has problems trusting him again

It pains him to no end that his relationship with his brother may never be the same as it once was

Feels lonely and missunderstood but would never admit it out loud

It’s also worth mentioning that this is the guy who posted this: 

His name is Jim Sterling and he is a rather… colorful games journalist who actually uses his platform to report on stuff like horrible working conditions, abuse and even stuff like sexual assault in the games industry.

He also raised concerns about the addictive nature of stuff like loot boxes and micro transactions long before anyone else did. 

They recently came out as non-binary “gender trash” (his words, not mine) and uses he/they/any pronouns according to his Twitter. Give their videos a look see if you are interested in hearing about workers rights in the creative industry.

we love and appreciate James Stephanie Sterling in this house

[rorbison]

i would like to share that they are using exclusively they/them pronouns at this time :-)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Jim used to be a relatively big name reviewer back in the Angry Trillby Reviewer Days until they suddenly ‘quit’ their job with the very prominent games journalism company they worked for and were summarily blacklisted by the entire AAA industry.

Why? Because a massive scandal broke at the major game publisher Ubisoft revealing a culture of systematic sexual abuse, including high-ranking officials within the company that would regularly drug and rape female employees, which management and HR seemed fully aware of and would protect and move around the perpetrators Catholic-church-style. Reviewers were told not to talk about it and, when it became impossible to contain, to not talk about it where it’s “irrelevant” – that is, never mention or hint at any such stuff when actually reviewing and promoting Ubisoft games, because it’s a separate thing, see, no need to distract from the game (Ubisoft’s goal here was to be able to continue to advertise their games to players who hadn’t heard about it, and wait out the scandal until those who had just assumed everything was dealt with and forgot, which worked).

Jim refused. They knew this would tank their career, they knew they were throwing away an incredibly promising future. They did it anyway.

James Stephanie Sterling in one of a very small number of game reviewers out there with an actual fucking spine and a moral code made from titanium. They’re still effectively blacklisted from the industry, because since then they’ve refused to reform and play Good PR Robot like reviewers are supposed to do (because the AAA games industry thinks ‘reviewer’ and ‘critic’ are synonyms for ‘PR person in a gig economy’), shining light on repeated abuses and scandals in the industry, both internal scandals like this (discrimination, worker abuse, fraud, the normalisation of crunch culture and not paying workers) and ways at which the AAA industry scams players (abuses of early access, loot boxes and ‘pay to win’ mechanics that used to be the realm of free-to-play games now dominating paid titles while the prices of those titles also go up, abusive subscription models and ‘always online’ services, fun little tricks that companies love to pull with “remastered” games, and lately NFTs). Jim’s usually a good six months to a full year ahead of the curve on spying out this bullshit, able to see and warn about it before it becomes trendy enough for other reviewers to touch, and the result has been being continually silenced by game companies and passively buried by algorithms due to illegitimate DCMA takedowns, incorrect copyright strikes spurious lawsuits, being frozen out of gaming news, and whatever other nasty tricks people can pull. They came out as nonbinary very shortly before hitting a million subscribers (despite the forces agaisnt them) and then suddenly lost a lot of subscribers over a short period of time. Which was surely a complete coincidence. Yep. Just a coincidence. Have they backed down on literally anything? No. Because they decided to do this properly despite the cost and they are NOT fucking around.

They also call out particularly bad bullshit of indie developers (we’re talking the con artists and bigots in indie development in particular), not just AAA, which once hilariously resulted in a tiny no-name developer attempting to sue them for TEN MILLION DOLLARS. (Well, I found it hilarious after the fact. It was incredibly frustrating and somewhat stressful for Jim at the time, if one of the more ridiculous silencing tactics.) You can see them report on that here:

Sounds like somebody worth supporting.

Followed them for years, genuinely awesome.
