The Radical Factotum

I'm Sasha. Pronouns are left as an exercise for the reader. 27-year-old faithless, hedonistic, transgressive commie; that is to say, atheist, bi, transhumanist, and a nonsectarian leftist. History dork too. No minors please.

i can't believe i used to think i was good at ultrakill. maybe i was, but hakita did the gamedev equivalent of pricing me out of the neighborhood. i'm a humble working woman who can do okay shotgun parries and railcoins and this man spent two years developing functional non-euclidean geometry for his ever-increasingly fast paced movement shooter. there's a part in 8-3 where you fight 1000000 enemies including a gabriel knockoff in an endlessly repeating room where terminal freefall is possible and it's not even the last room of the level because hakita is very excited to show you that he has also developed functional super mario galaxy physics

like, you know that quote about how Miyazaki considers himself bad a video games, so despite how difficult they seem, he actually does design his Fromsoft games from the standpoint of "I'm bad at this, and I beat it, so you can too"? ultrakill is the opposite where by Layer 5 Hakita is flying past you on a piloted rocket as a comparably basic form of locomotion compared to increasing amounts of movement tech that you can't even comprehend and he is daring you to git gud enough to follow him deeper into what is literally the Hell of his own design

lesbian sex but you're a supervillain and you strap the hero's girlfriend to a table to perform evil and dangerous experiments on her while the hero watches on a comically large and evil screen but it turns out they're both into it.

The Necromistress appreciates your rightful praise but is far too busy plotting world domination to respond to your adulation personally

the mystique surrounding rulership occludes the fact that the average politician isn't really any better at their job than the average office worker. they don't read bills. they don't do math. they try and get out of boring tasks. they go with their gut rather than evidence.

i know it feels like people with that level of power should take it seriously, like they should at least have the decency to be competent in their evil, but they really just... don't.

So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.

Good news! This story exists, it’s called The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

[dostoyevsky-official]

what's worrisome is that everyone has more or less the same primordial version of history these days when you look into mainstream discourses, just like putin. ukrainians say they're actually the real inheritors of kievan rus, the russians are asiatic barbarians. israelis say they have a 2,000-year-old biblical claim to the land. azeris and armenians go back and forth over who has lived in the caucasus since time immemorial. china says taiwan was always chinese and pulls out 17th century fishing maps for the south china sea. and so on, and so forth, none of this broaches the fact that the real problem here is that people are getting bombed, tortured, and raped in the name of these pathetic fantasies, not the veracity of the claims

thing is, i hate "you don't have to medically transition! you're #valid!" as much as the next person with an aversion to poorly disguised transphobia, sure, but a lot of you people seem really keen on taking this up with the people who are not medically transitioning at the moment (from whom you assume internalized transphobic belief and not. you know. that they might be experiencing significant structural barriers!!!)

[tboy-trash]

it's similar to the damn femboy discourse every month. people will correctly identify a common transphobic line "why can't you just be a femboy?" and take it up with the femboy and not with the people saying it?!?!?!?!?!

[tboy-trash]

[wearily tapping the sign again]

[tboy-trash]

if i may steal her words for a minute:

it is very silly to observe that "trans person not currently medically transitioning" is considered a comparatively palatable (in an EXTREMELY limited sense. you think people treat non medically transitioning transfeminized people in any sort of preferential way?!?!?!) when interacting with a transphobic culture and then take this up with the goddamn trans people who aren't currently medically transitioning!!!!!!!!!!!!
