it's really really good :) At one point a demon named "Disgusting Imp" talked about being "vagina-sexual" and then asked me about my surgery status and it was like "yep, name checks out". Then I killed it and ate it. :)

Terrible?? This is supposedly "psychological horror" but what I got instead was weird unpleasant grossout humor and gay jokes in a boring environment. I think they're going for "Kafka-esque" but instead landed on "Ren and Stimpy skit". store.steampowered.com/app/3476880/...

Kinda boring, and looked particularly lackluster compared to the They Speak From The Abyss demo. Kinda reminded me of SCP Containment Breach. I like Trevor Anderson's art but I can see it without playing a game, so the game itself needs to also be good. store.steampowered.com/app/3197890/...

A thread for demos I've tried from Steam Nextfest. First, I absolutely loved this. An excellent entry in the SMT-like genre, down to having weird uncomfortable chats with strange demons about your gender and sexuality. Fun twists on the RPG system, too.

To be clear: I don't think Marcotte is "stupid" or "ignorant". I just think she's wearing a mask.

I've been hearing American fascists making jokes about gas chambers literally my entire fucking life. The ones aspiring to get into electoral politics instead of a lynch mob just masked better in public, they acted the exact same when drunk.

When I was in HS 20 years ago I was hearing future Young Republicans say racial slurs and seeing them seig heil while attacking the one out gay student on campus. They just didn't get recorded and publicly shared, because everybody else in the school was terrified of them.

As I note in this episode, I'm a woman so I'm used to people reflexively dismissing me as "stupid" or "ignorant." So not surprised that happened here.

But I was a young Republican in high school. I would have *never* said shit like this. Ever.

But did you feel it in your heart a little, Amanda?

Did you think it? Did a "Hitler just wanted what was best for his race" flutter across your mind?

Did you maybe whisper under your blanket at night, asking God if he made people with 'dark skin' in His image?

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

A woman says "hi, I'm here for the Magic: The Gathering tournament." A man at the registration booth says "of course. and ma'am I hope it's not too presumptious of me to say that your transition is going incredible." The woman says 'uh... I'm cis actually." Another man comes up and says "hi... wow ma'am your transition..." The first man interrupts him shouting "Tony! No!"

What you see here is the political consciousness of the ICE agents.

They see their mission the same way the Trump administration sees it - as a state of war, not against immigrants, but against cities.

They correctly understand themselves to be at war against Chicago and all who live in her.

Jessica Kant @jessdkant.bsky.social · 3h

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

tbh the comforting thing about seeing Gen Z folks earnestly getting into stuff like Björk or Aphex Twin is that when i was younger i felt cagey and self-conscious about appearing to like anything *too* much or liking it the "wrong" way because some of fears some older person might cut my tastes down

Not to mention the fact that the game, in the same scene where it kills Aya Brea, retcons her to be hetero and have very bad taste in men by having her get married to Kyle, a generic protagonist guy type side character from PE2, and then die at the wedding for no reason.

Gab @gabjet.bsky.social · 14h

The Third Birthday. I still hate Nomura for it. "Let's make a more adult Parasite Eve by killing off Aya Brea and replacing her with a 13 year old whose clothes constantly get ripped off, and retcon the whole returning cast as a bunch of creepy misogynists, and make it a boring cover shooter."

The anime is at least certainly much better than the manga. Edgy as it is, it still cuts out like the bottom 90% of the garbage the original author wrote, including a whole character from the main cast who had nothing to her except "plays piano" and "pisses herself constantly" despite her prominence

if you’re looking for the ppl responsible for contemporary fascism you should start with ‘liberal’ political advisors like matt. without them it wouldn’t have happened.

people are acting like this is a study talking about all trans people but it’s just about nonbinary people which makes sense that this is lower, 9 out of 10 nonbinary people i’ve ever met have now transitioned lol
