I replayed red recently and I was so interested in how long it took to even get any meaningful elemental attacks on my Pokemon. Finally getting to have moves that matched my Pokemon's type felt like finally getting good equipment after early-game in an rpg

The way I spent over an hour trying to solve the tablet cypher in PLA only to eventually get to the cutscene where the guy "reads" one and realize there was no puzzle 😭

I actually have plenty of things I'd change about the games! but it's a lot of completely unpopular stuff like "remove most held items+abilities and reduce the move pool by at least 50%", "every game contains only its regional dex" and "tera is the best gimmick and should be the only one to stay"

And Please don't reply to this with reasons why you personally fell off. I don't care 😞💦

I dunno just imagine liking something and every time you spot someone with a tshirt and ask about it, the other person pulls out their prewritten 20min video essay on its crimes. It's exhausting.

I feel like I have to apologize for being uncritical or justify myself every time I meet someone new. I literally just always have fun and like most designs!! I've always been fine!! The constant stream of negativity is just such a downer that I just don't interact with the community anymore.

Pokemon is one of the few things I love in an uncomplicated way, and every new major entry in the series brings me just as much joy as the previous, give or take a little. I wish I could talk to other Pokemon fans anymore. The world is shitty enough I'm sick of hearing why you think it sucks now.

I'm just gonna have to flat disagree. I don't think it wants to be a phrase that's representing everyone. It's saying "furry has freaks, & we will support them" If you feel like the phrase is excluding you, or represents a pet peeve you have with the community, that might just be a you problem.

I apologize for misinterpreting you a bit... But I'm confused. What exactly are people doing to "not make space" for anyone else? The "freaks" are the ones being oppressed, so the freaks get top billing in a slogan. We don't need to "all lives matter" it. No one is saying the sfw side doesn't matter

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

Just because some bar patrons spill beer on the floor doesn't mean we can justify being inconsiderate to everyone who's there to drink. As a sfw artist i do not feel "shoved to the side" and never have. If you can't stomach seeing nsfw at ALL then it's up to you to form your own -exclusive- spaces

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

I think posts like this are addressing larger systems, not individuals or TOS or "claiming" the space. Your interpretation feels off-topic. Sure, people should tag (its in the rules iirc?) but on the other hand, does "all-inclusive" really "exclude" you just because you don't like some of the "all"?

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

Is there discussion to be had about creating safe spaces for all participants? Do some people act nasty where they shouldn't? Sure, every large group is gonna have problems like this. But it should be obvious why the cute, friendly content isn't exactly the center of calls to action right now.

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

And that's not even mentioning literally everything that's going on right now with web censorship and payment processor silencing. NSFW artists are BY LAW being pushed out of online spaces and their livelihood. Of course they're the center of conversations about the human right of expression.

People who let their 4-legged sonas get laid are harassed, kinksters get bullied, harmless weirdos with fascinations accused of criminality. VRC rooms griefed for content. At fursuiting convention panels we're taught little quips to assure normies no one is -really- daring to have sex in costume.

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

Hrm... I understand feeling alienated when the conversation is often turned towards the parts you don't relate to, but the reality is that aside from the general misunderstanding that furries get, the sfw side of furries are not as often -actively in danger- like the other side is.

Pimmy @pimmy.bsky.social · 3d

i don't think it's exclusionary. everyone can keep furry freaky by not pushing out the "freaky" ones. it's okay not to be freaky yourself.

The attitude expressed in this bit is uniquely horrifying if you ask me. How are we to "be ready" for this? This thing you're inflicting on us? Social and energy consequences and all?

Article talking about open ai's new video app. "He positioned the launch's speed bumps as learning opportunities."not for much longer will we have the only good video model out there, and there's going to be a ton of videos with none of our safeguards, and that's fine, that's the way the world works," Altman said, adding, "we can use this window to get society to really understand, 'hey, the playing field has changed, we can generate almost indistinguishable video in some cases now, and you've got to be ready for that.'"

I usually put something simple just for personal reference but if they're flagging common words illustrators use for review it's like 😩💦 jeez. Even for a sfw artist it feels risky!

Was listening to a TMR interview and the guy they had on was the one who coined the term "enshittification" and I just thought of people here talking about whether they liked or hated the term lmao

p good interview tho, mainly about monopolies and whys and hows of the failure to regulate them
