Note, I do not support Tim "Grok Cheese Pizza" Sweeney to make this post clear. If everyone agreed with him on AI like he fucking wishes, there'd be zero art in the video game scene.

Just wrote a huge rant about Persona 4's writing regarding its queer, and other imo poorly handled elements (sexualization and fatphobia too) in my friend's DMs lmfao. I'm likely giving Persona 4 Revival a miss having played Golden already, and not trusting the devs with any fixes to the writing.

The funniest queer thing imo is that Shadow Yukiko just admits Yukiko is bisexual (Chie is called a 'prince') in her dungeon arc and it never gets brought up in the game again. (Yukiko is a favorite character of mine) I would post the entire rant but there isn't spoiler tagging on BSky :/.

Spoilers without spoilers, I do think the murderer is a pretty realistic character in terms of their motivation to murder. I like the Dojima family's writing a lot too. Please do the Dojima and Nanako social links if you're playing for the first time.

Disappointed that ATProto development is getting quite the reputation for usage of AI, although I'm hopeful that I can help offset that as a developer utilizing it. I guess it is just shit found in toilet to a degree tho.

I wish there was more recent criticism of ATProto and Bluesky from people who know at least a little about what they're talking about, because there are still some serious issues regarding decentralization. Bluesky itself is still mostly on its own PDSes and AppView, and DID:PLC is still centralized

I think it'd just be best if I stop talking about or thinking about modding Minecraft following my previous post's replies. That wound is definitely healing, but I seem to be good at delaying it. It's repetitive atp.

Slowly starting to recover from the major burnout that modding minecraft induced on me by doing different creative things. I will most likely never attempt to return to Minecraft because I honestly just don't enjoy the modding scene at all and it made me very bitter.

While I think the bad actors are a vocal minority, that scene has shifted in a very capitalist favoring oriented direction that ultimately alienates me. I don't want to worry about being the loudest motherfucker on the block to just get a mod that is more complicated than the Glow Squid out there.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Hi, if you are an EU citizen. Please don't be compliant to law attempts like this. If passed, This will put outright invasive age restrictions for playing and obtaining games, which will destroy the entire indie game scene in the EU (you'll need to comply to publish a game in EU countries too).

Stop Killing Games@stopkillinggames.bsky.social

Like how we had a feedback campaign for the Digital Fairness Act, there's now a place to give feedback on the EU Kids Act: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... - Be polite - Write in your own words and experiences - Emphasize video games shouldn't have age verification private servers shouldn't be illegal

something about the fact that political candidates are willing to flip on issues just to gain short-term capital even if it doesn’t match their values bothers me significantly

bluesky has made me understand that i can get away with writing controversial blog posts. i just need to find a visual novel character and roleplay as that character while writing the blog posts
