switch 2 is basically going to be the target console for the next 10 years and certain nintendo fan types will be like no nintendo is supposed to make the quirky other console that kinda sucks

i should just write what i feel like instead of worrying that my posts don't have enough of an Angle or a Take that Ties Into The Current Culture And/Or Discourse but it often feels like only the latter will get me the little gold star that says "here's the Good and Important Writing"

the thing about nintendo is, they're at least evil in a normal, traditional way. they aren't introducing bold new modalities of evil into games like microsoft and ea

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

i like the internet when i get to see the cool things people are creating, or learn new techniques or approaches. i dislike the internet when i stumble into high-velocity low-stakes arguments

as i wrap up digital devil saga 2 i flash back to a conversation i had at worldcon in 2018 where someone said they had no plans to play any persona or SMT game made before persona 5 because they didn't see the point in "playing the same game but worse" you know who you are

"But I have a gunpla backlog" Everybody has a fucking gunpla backlog. Its like holding onto health potions in an RPG. Its normal. If you feel like dogshit, go bust a box open and build one. You obviously need the potion right now. If you have none, dm me. I'll hook you up.

It is a completely normal part of the hobby. Looking at it and feeling shame isn't magically pious. In each and every single one of those boxes are all potential silver linings, capable of rescuing some of the worst weeks of your life.

Being mad you didn't burn chunks of your soul at the altar of security will kill you. Had you burned those chunks, the man would ask you burn even more to the exact same measure difference, and your situation be completely unchanged and you would feel identical. The problem isn't you, but the man.
