he/they/xe queer AuDHD logoadult bitch from the year 2000 sometimes goes by "xander" doesn't post as often

I feel like I want to make a worldbuilding guide for logokids so that they can better construct their AUs. Well, actually I have written down notes for it but I need to make it more comprehensive.

I'm kinda noticing how there isn't a lot of Canadian-focused DeviantArt Logokid AUs (idk what the proper term for it is). Like, where is the AU where Alliance Atlantis didn't get bought out by Goldman Sachs? Or where Shaw didn't split off its entertainment assets into Corus?

Despite Nelvana (well, more accurately Kids WB) butchering Cardcaptor Sakura, I kinda want to see the entire Nelvana dub get released on physical media. Mostly for nostalgic purposes.

Do you ever get the feeling that someone you looked up to when you were a young adult turned out to be a monster years later while also learning that they're hurting themselves and others because they were lolcowed a lot? (cont.)

Y'know, Toonbox (webchnl) had got me thinking about Knowledge Network-era BBC Kids and how it was a sort of Teletoon Retro for 2000s Teletoon (as well as a lil bit of YTV) programming mixed in with CBBC shows. And it was owned by a provincially-owned public broadcaster, which is nice.

I found the bsky account of a childhood friend I had back in elementary school and discovered that he's horny on that account. I mean, it's not a bad thing but wrow.

I feel like that one episode of Delta State with the autistic boy tried its best to help represent autism. There were some shortfalls due to it being made in 2004-2005, when neurodiversity wasn't as popular as it is now but it gets a few points for trying.

Just to make things clear, I am not defending The Rodfellows Movie or Dan P Lyons. The only "autistic outsider art" movie I am willing to defend is Greeny Phatom The Movie. I'm sorry to anyone that has a huge boner for Greeny Phatom, but it's true.

not quite. you see, it is very simple. a video game can be any or just one of these things, and can be in any state on this chart at any time depending on the context or rearrangement of its elements (mode, ruleset, singleplayer vs multiplayer, etc.). elementary

video game is........................

a three-circle venn diagram. the circles are labeled "media art", "toy", and "game" ludological.

the central overlap area reads "the ocean of simulacra (here be monsters).

the overlap between media art and toy is a gradient range. towards toy, it is labeled "ritualized play". towards media art, it is labeled "virtualized installation art". 

the same applies for the other two overlaps.

between toy and game (ludological), towards game is labeled "structured play", and towards game (luodological) is labeled "tactile-cognitive challenge".

between media art and game (ludological), towards media art is "ludonarrative media", and towards game (ludological) is "social sport".

a wikipedia citation at the bottom reads

for science, bc I got into a big argument with my friend group over this, if I were to say something like "video games are intrinsically a form of toy"...how would that make you feel?
