Sometimes it isn't faking it. Sometimes the doctor thinks you're just too fat and will take that as a cause and not a symptom. And you have to wait 15 years for a doctor to finally address that yes, your family history of thyroid problems might have something to do with your weight and other health problems.

The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.

bitter69uk

Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They've been visible on my page - corrupting viewers - for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven't learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.

In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.”

Glad to see Climate Crisis Normalization is going full speed ahead...

A lot of people seem weirded out by the fact that the submarine is being controlled by an Xbox controller even though that is the exact same way that the US military controls a lot of its drones, and no I am not kidding

Intuitive to use for young men, possesses most of the needed features to effectively control a device’s movement, and can be endlessly modified and remapped to meet the needs of different hardware. The Navy has actually started to use them to control the periscope optics on some submarines

When I was in FIRST Robotics a decade ago a lot of the Military/Industrial Company Sponsors highly encouraged the teams to use Xbox controllers. It was meant to ease us into building this on their more professional robots/drones/submersibles when we got our first internships.

One of my favorite hobbies is thinking about the fucked up implications of this fantasy world map my parents got me for christmas

[Image ID: photo of a map. On the left side of the map is Middle Earth, with the Shire and Mordor labeled. To the direct right of Mordor is Whoville.]

I FOUND THE FULL ONE AND ITS SO MUCH MORE CHAOTIC.

HYRULE SHOOK ME TO MY CORE!

THIS WORD HAS TWO KINGDOMS RULES BY A BEING IN A TOWER!

The existence of Oz and Neverland is wild too. Does this mean that there is a REAL Earth outside of this? Could Wendy hang out in Westeros?

Wait a minute... why is Westeros in the fucking East?

If it's a spherical world, then we just slide over a little and it's in the west.

If it's a Discworld, we have another problem 🫠

Not just Krull, Earth Sea is a planet as well. The gravitational implications alone...

twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right

I've been calling this the Internet Bronze Age Collapse. Currently, I am still trying to determine if AI Companies Scraping Websites or good old Posters are the Internet's equivalent of the Sea People.

Anyways, may the odds ever be in your favour to the website that ends up being Egypt, still around but as a shell of its former self!

Twitter (and to a lesser extant Reddit) are dying today, so I put together a playlist to dance to the death of post 2008 internet.

HOW TRANQS WORK

On the base you can find Tranquilisers researchers were using to study the Trash Wolf population. Station Law enforcement should also have a few in the weapons lockers.

To use a tranq effectively. You have to un cover an armored part of the Hazard Suit (shown in white). Use a large rifle round to pop the helmet off.

Then aim for the head to maximise tranq effectiveness.

You can also just try pumping unexposed parts with tranqs to sedate the creature. But this takes much longer depending on proximity to the head.

2023 is Upon Us

And I am still looking for work! So, new year, same old story. I am available for work in narrative design as well as general game design. Most of my games are playable here:

I'm also building a portfolio site here:

Also, if you have pity points for me, you can always send a Ko-Fi my way.

Become a supporter of Xuelder today! ❤️ Ko-fi lets you support the creators you love with no fees on donations.

It's Itch.io Creator Day…

But I got no games to sell, cause all of mine are short and free. But I am also poor and unemployed at the moment, so if you want to donate, you can click the donate links on my games or give me a coffee on Ko-Fi. That would be pretty neat of you.

NORCO will be out for Xbox and Playstation tomorrow. We've been putting a good bit of work into controller support. There are some handy shortcuts built in. You should be able to complete the game using either a virtual cursor via the thumb stick or through discrete hotspot/navigation selection using the dpad. There are a couple known controller issues that we listed here & will have patched by next week. ♥️

Probably the best depiction of the Greater NOLA area in the games medium. A must play and my GotY.

I Want My Next Game to be a Suburban Sprawl Nightmare Maze

This tweet inspired me on a new game idea that I want to work on this month.

https://twitter.com/certainrandom/status/1589979479178297344

I want to make a suburban nightmare game about getting lost in a tangle of subdivisions and it being an eldritch maze from hell. Have demonic NIMBYs, hellfire cops "looking into things," Karens, destinations that are point to point less than 100 feet but take 5 miles and 30 minutes to travel. You know, what all suburban hellscapes feel like.
