lula won and i've seen multiple independent posts by brazilian lesbians and sapphics all day about how they're going to have lots of sex with each other in celebration. beautiful
its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
last bit of marathon rambling i swear:
but i think it's an amazing argument for the idea that whatever happens to you during gameplay is just as valid of a story as cutscenes and dialogue
the way marathon incentivizes you to kill others and makes it give you so much dopamine, while providing ample tools to cooperate, is kind of why its so peak
it ties so well into the lore and setting. and it's conveyed in every aspect- the animations, the sounds, the mechanics themselves
marathon says-
"yeah so you're not a person anymore, killing feels really good, and you will live forever. now can you resist not doming that guy for his green shield?"
and my answer is, always, "no"
My timeline right now is people reposting two things:
- a Brazilian activist telling us that the way to victory is to ignore right-wing shitposting because all social media is owned by authoritarians and they control the algorithm
- a Xitter post of MattY saying the dumbest shit imaginable.
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
hope the next ffxiv expansion doesnt have any more dungeons where you play out a flashback of a city being exploded while a victorian child goes "mummy, what are those missiles flying towards us? are they food?" and then the kid gets cartoon nuked and leaves behind a missile-shaped monster you kill
a famous poster made a post about digitized consciousness but they conveniently locked the replies and qrps before i could harass them for their thoughts on marathon (2026)
Y'know, at the beginning of this election season, I was willing to let a lot more slide. But the constant anti-trans ads from both sides are really beating me down. I'm a different person than I was. Truly.
Watch out for your trans friends, please. We're not at our best right now.
my biggest impact on the internet was sending an anonymous ask to a popular artist requesting them to draw eris from billy and mandy, and starting a mini art trend for a bit
there are so many songs about shipwrecks and storms and this gives people a skewed view of sea travel. they should write more songs about all of the boats that make it safely to their destinations in pleasant weather
the ending of mgs4 got me good, but for completely personal reasons ryoji's second link episode in persona 3 reload made me bawl my eyes out.
i watched my Partner play it recently and like. yeah its kinda deep but idk why i cried like that. it was the specific headspace i was in ig
trans women: "ive found art made by people just like me that helps me understand my trauma and gets me off"
other trans women, for some reason: "but is it woke enough?"
