if you can see this post, please let me know- zero engagement today besides my own b**sting makes me worry something is amiss, and these families truly cannot afford to have their lifeline withheld. they urgently need food and shelter. the situation has only gotten worse over time. please help.
3 families are still freezing and starving. still in need of warm winter clothes and sanitation to protect them from winter and overcrowding, still in need of medicine and nutrients. click "weekly" or "monthly" on your contribution and show up for them: tinyurl.com/food-clothin...

i need to get around to replaying the game in japanese sometime now that i can read a little better, there's a decent amount of lines that i'm really curious to compare, especially a lot of the ones where gendered language comes in

also i found that one bit where they accidentally trans an npc's gender bc i assume they did not have enough context for the lines when translating. oops

going through these there's definitely stuff i hadn't managed to find before but so far my hit rate for covering npc dialogue has actually been surprisingly good, i was pretty exhaustive while playing

ive dabbled with digging into game files before and it's really wild how many early games are pretty easy (limited amount of space + simpler assets + simpler compression) and modern games are easy (shared middleware, file systems) but in-between you get some real fuckers sometimes

the skills that go into creativity are trade/labor skills. the same metrics that you learn carpentry or cooking apply to drawing or singing or acting.
anyone can learn them. anyone can gain experience with them. everyone should be paid for them.

My grievance with the notion of talent is how much it disempowers individuals and how deterministic it is — how it causes most to believe that there is an age limit to learning and developing skills, and most importantly, that it’s not as worthy of trying as a result
