This is a great example of why you should disable Steam's dumb language filters. Most people are only seeing a random visual novel they never heard about with a couple of reviews. It has over 10,000 reviews. These filters do nothing except lock you in inside a bubble.

Sweet Home now has English, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese localizations! It is a queer visual novel about coming of age in a small Chinese town and has become a sensation since its release last August store.steampowered.com/app/3528450/...

I'll tell trans folks the same thing I told furries a couple weeks ago. Take this advice from an ex-reporter of 15 years. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.

I personally hate the word "Anti-Art" described to anything that isn't just ai slop cause folks forget that art isn't a compliment. There is bad art out there. There is boring art. The word is just about somebody's intention.

Do I like the look of the remake? No, I really don't But calling it AI-slop is extremely disrespectful to the artists who made it Calling someone's hardwork "AI-slop looking" is not a "sick burn" it's just gross. It looks like AI because AI stole it, not the opposite, whether it looks good or not

It’s funny knowing how much discourse Steven Universe caused and then finally watching it and basically every episode ending with a character going “ah gosh, I hurt someone’s feelings and I feel bad about it. It’s important to apologize to someone you hurt” because it’s still ultimately a kid’s show

i oscillate between amused and annoyed at the way video game people will look at a bunch of fairy tale stuff with cartoon proportions and say “ugh i’m so sick of photorealism”

The graphical overhaul works on me, is the thing. It is impressive to look at, even if I feel weird about the "UE-vibes" style. Then I realize it's all for the exact same play spaces I've seen for almost 30 years and it's sort of a gut punch. All this work to beautifully craft a 1:1 replica. why

I'm sorry to sound so bitter and shitty about this but I'm just like. I'm despondent. This remake looks SO expensive. I can't imagine all the money, hours, blood, sweat and tears that went into it. Nintendo could have taken all those resources and unparalleled artistry and made a new game instead.

I think what the designers are going for with Link's Tunic is a sorta Japanese Raincoat, Mino. They are usually just straws that stick out, but it seems they can be tightly woven to make a more smoother look. The Hat still looks weird ngl

Render of Adult Link from the Ocarina of Time remake, His Tunic & hat are woven with some sorta straw materialA japanese raincoat called a mino that's tightly woven

Anway, I'm sorry for all of the Remake talk. I'm not as harsh as I can be cause I know personally that Remake talk can just be annoying. Overall, I don't like it, it just does some decisions I don't vibe with. Still, I won't bore y'all with the "Art is dead, AAA has killed it"

I do like Sheik's design, I think he looks nice, but I do understand why people are upset that he isn't as masc anymore, especially trans Masc & Trans men. Truth is that Nintendo is really bad with gender so it isn't that surprising sadly.
