I wish gamers would realize that there’s a baseline level of like intuitive understanding on how to control video games in general that you build up through hours upon hours of gaming in general plus another level of it you build up with each genre. These are things like being able to figure out basic movement in a game and use it proficiently, or navigating a dozen different menus in slower paced games. The sort of things that I think a lot of people don’t realize they’re already adept in, because most “serious gamers” powered through this phase when they were young and at their most capable of learning (coincidentally ages you just don’t remember a ton of).

Snobby MMO players will be like “oh the high level raids aren’t even hard you just have to know the fight” not realizing that they have, oftentimes, literal years of experience with how to memorize an MMO boss and intuitively use that knowledge, how to go through and adapt a rotation during a fight, how to coordinate with the rest of your group, etc. And this goes for other games, too; the Soulsborne series has only gotten harder and harder as it’s gone on because it’s been forced to ramp up difficulty each game for a playerbase that is increasingly used to it. I’ll see people saying Dark Souls 1 is easy and Dark Souls 3/Bloodborne are the only hard games in the series and… Yeah, that is true if you’re Gud™, if you’re extremely used to the series Dark Souls 1 is a very straightforward game, but to the average non-fan, Dark Souls 1 is still very difficult and the bosses the later games threw in to challenge hardcore fans are inaccessibly hard.

And that’s where this becomes a real problem, accessibility. Real Gamers sneer at AAA games that aren’t difficult and have a lot of tutorials, but the only reason video games have become as ubiquitous as they have is that your average big budget game these days puts in effort like that to draw in people who don’t have years of skill built in before starting a game. When someone talks about how modern gamers don’t have the patience for classic cRPGs (or, really, any older game), I just think, well, yeah; you got into them when you were young, had vast amounts of free time, and at a point in time where the interface was contemporary and up to date. Anyone trying to get into them now has to get past dated UIs that they either no longer have or never had a proficiency with, past poorly explained mechanics and concepts, and past aged graphics, all usually with limited time and the opportunity cost of not doing something easier to get into and more immediately fun.

when you talk about queer love, remember the queer love that isn’t romantic.

queer love can be two best friends who support each other through their transitions and go to pride together each glowing with admiration for the other

queer love can be siblings confiding in each other about the difficulties of growing up queer in a small town and still texting each other every day when they finally move away from home

queer love can be queerplatonic partners caring deeply for each other and redefining what a relationship can be

queer love can be a group of friends who bond in middle school, realize years later they’re all gay, and laugh and smile when they reminisce together about how far they’ve come

queer love can be a community coming together to give food, shelter, and unconditional support to a teenager who’s been rejected by his family and has nowhere to go

queer love can be two mothers supporting their daughter as she changes her name and buys the clothes that truly express her gender for the first time

whatever form it takes, queer love is life-changing and revolutionary.
