Welcome, traveler!

Your host is an aspiring author, with passions for GSRM activism (specializing in Poly and GNC advocacy), gaming, and philosophy.

My intention for the account is to discuss my book more casually, as well as commentary on current events; I'll have a secondary once I re-pub.

I'd probably be more shocked about the whole Xbox going third-party whatever stuff if games were still made with their specific respective hardwares in mind, so you got distinctly different Castlevania games on SNES, Genesis, and PC Engine CD, rather than today where a game ends up everywhere.

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Media capture, by and large. Messaging is irrelevant if no one has eyes on it

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 22h

Things like education, health, and insurance are not things which are publicly shared in any viable-to-use fashion for external groups.

A lot of the raw data isn't consumer-facing.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 23h

That was so viscerally unpleasant I had to go stretch to stop from vomiting...

That someone thought that was in any way a positive experience is... something.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

Comically, I really did think the cyberpunk dream of keeping their workers happy to spite their rivals was a good idea...

Shane the dystopia overestimated these folks

Contextualization matters.

Journalism explains impact, history, intention, and expectations.

"President Trump makes open declaration that he has no intention to follow current congressional requirements for his acts of war against other nations."

Also describes what's happening without opinion.

This is what the right has always wanted. My entire life.

"We have enemies: Why are we not killing them? Then there'd be no problems!" has been the thing they've been screaming my entire existence.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

Yup.

Even ignoring that it solves every major problem in society, it's the correct goal to start from.

Even if we disagree on what all should be included: food/water, shelter/clothing, medical support, child care.

Let's get that, and go from there, yeh? That's my big tent start.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

And the one in the town I grew up in is run by a local KKK member, so I hope you'll excuse my first impressions

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

Little further than what I was searching; they do seem to be inclusive and sanctuary!

But hey, I'm glad there are more good spots. Sincerely.

This original search was for places I could feasibly send the unhoused who nest at my work for support, for context. This church is in richville, locally.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

This comes up a lot in the homelessness talk, which is a huge local political issue: puritans arguing that their conditional/abusive expectations on care mean that the unhoused/etc. don't want/deserve support or care.

Like, yeah: making someone give up a pet for a roof is fucked up.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 1d

Of the 10 local curches I did a quick search on, only two offer unconditional community support. One UU, and one Methodist.

When I was a kid, none of the local curches in the town I grew up in would offer food/clothing to me, because I was an atheist/queer (and known as such).

its funny how fluoride gets a bad rep when it's the most "natural medicine" discovery.

Scientists were like "some mountain kids got invincible teeth, lets test their spring water. Oh weird, the invincible teeth mountain spring water has fluoride in it, lets give it to everybody"

Do want. I've seen a few things pop up for PSO lately and I'm digging it

A tote bag of Red Ring Rico from Phantasy Star Online might be the most unexpected piece of gaming merch I’ve seen this year

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 2d

Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't they have to identify the individual to defend him as an individual? Credentials and orders and whatnot?

And if it's by direction of a federal office, isn't *that* something that a state could build a case against?

I've been asking this since we all agreed, in theory, that MTX was verboten years and years ago.

Horse Armor should've been the breaking point for folk, and yet...

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 2d

Evergreen.

I have this taped to my tower.

... admittedly, I should heed it more frequently than I do.

Comic 386 of XKCD:

[Cueball is typing on a computer.]
Voice outside frame: Are you coming to bed?
Cueball: I can't. This is important.
Voice: What?
Cueball: Someone is WRONG on the Internet.

Bad faith argument; externalities of the current process would need be solved before you could try justification on that level.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 3d

Nah; it's using the mechanics of people we're directly opposing.

Check out Kushner's statements about AI and Gaza, for some direct perspective?

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 3d

This sounds like it might have been the inspiration for Voice of Cards, which is also a very card-y game that is in no way a card game. I wonder if there's any connection.

It's also a Mechanic Light RPG with a short run time.

Another in the "hope for translation, or hope for fluency" pile for me.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 3d

That so many of the "anti-hand-out" group don't count their parents is maddening.

Thundal Archsys @thundalarchsys.bsky.social · 3d

Not only is this fucking cool on its own, but I was *just* reading a QC strip circa 2005 about this exact thing.
