  • buddy, if you wanted a proper discussion maybe you shouldn’t have insulted me in every reply. at this point i’m replying for my personal amusement. you’re an ass who thinks themself better than others, a pedantic dickhead who thinks that if something doesn’t make sense to you then clearly it means the other person’s logic is flawed and they are stupid, and why ask for clarification if you can just call them an idiot?

    why am i even wasting my time on talking to a common asshole, anyway bye



  • 💀 i care to be understood, and since we’re talking that’s clearly not an issue. i do not care if you like how i type. you can dislike things for no reason it’s fine, it’s not criminal to simply not like something, like how i dislike how you’re being rude to me right now

    why are you insulting me over your dislike of how i choose to write words and form sentences? how is my logic at fault when i don’t capitalise “i” or use a comma instead of a full stop? i don’t lack the ability to write “properly”, this is a style i chose because i like it, because it’s the closest to how my thoughts flow and to me it’s aesthetically pleasing



  • i don’t have autocorrect on, i also don’t subscribe to the idea that there is a “correct” way to speak or write, languages are tools used for communication, if you can understand me without effort then i used the tool successfully

    i do capitalise things when it matters, for various reasons; to make a sentence easier to read, to show respect, to avoid a word being confused for a typo. but overall i just like the look of small letters better


  • people downvoting you need some more context i believe

    conservative leadership’s bigotry isn’t just all yelling about gay frogs, there’s subtlety to some of their tactics. Two things are happening at once here - banning of sexual things, harsher punishments for sexual offenders, broadening the definition of what sexual offences even are, and sexualisation of LGBTQ folks, fearmongering, “think of the children”, implications that transgender people are all perverts (why else would bathrooms or drag queens story times be such big issues?). queer people are being pushed back into the margins, just their mere existence is being pushed to be viewed as “erotic” and “inappropriate for children”

    though obviously LGBTQ people are not porn, i hope that goes without saying, the same people who want to ban porn are the ones working very hard to paint queer people as somehow innately “adult only”


  • there’s already real time AI aging filters, once they realise this doesn’t work it’s going to be IDs next, i’m so sick of this bullshit

    if a kid wants to find porn, they’re going to find porn, no amount of laws is going to stop them, but the more laws there are the more safe websites and online spaces to explore the new feelings will be inaccessible to them, leaving only the worst possible resources to be exposed to as they discover their sexuality. people writing those laws behave as if they’ve entirely forgotten how it was to be a teen, nor have met a teen in decades

    the conversations are naturalistic storytelling that doesn’t just spell out information to you

    linguistics and translation are not the premise of the game. the premise is piecing together the timeline of events, and eventually solving the mystery of the game, through reading those “boring” conversations

    it takes roughly 15s to get off the planet after the first loop, bro :u and the thing you look at every time you wake up is crucial to solving the mystery

    you can just say the game isn’t for you, or that you tried playing it and it didn’t align with your expectations. instead of making yourself out to look like you’re impatient to the point where 15s bores you, and unable to focus to the point of saying that reading is boring because you get to access new information without having a mini-game jiggle keys in front of your face before every piece of text.

    i apologise for getting rude at the end here, but man, you’re insulting my favourite game based on your misinterpretation of what it’s trying to do, just say you don’t get it

    the exploration at a certain point should stop feeling random :0

    have you not wondered about the things you’ve discovered? have you not thought about figuring out the “why” of things?

    well, i’d encourage you to give it a bit more time, it’s so incredibly worth it

    but if it simply doesn’t click with you after you’ve put several hours into it - as heartbroken aa saying it makes me feel - it’s possible the game just isn’t for you

    me with Outer Wilds but also i say nothing about the actual game and just keep trying to get them to play with vague ass “it’s a lighting in a bottle once in a generation gaming experience c’mon guys try it, i can’t say more, i don’t want to lessen your sense of wonder and awe as you explore, the only thing i can say is that it’s about space and it’s a mystery game, sort of, let me look up some equally vague reviews, i can also play you some ending reactions from the 30 different playthroughs i watched, but only the ones that, you guess it, are vague enough”
