mechsploitation is fascinating to me because it doesn't actually exist outside of fic but it's become popular enough in fic that people are getting into like gundam or eva seeking mechsploitation content, unaware that the entire "genre" emerges entirely from armored core 6 porn

learned from making this post is that for some people "mechsploitation" is literally anytime any woman or person is manipulated in a mech and that i am a clueless tourist who doesn't know about four murasame. my response is that the machine as a metaphor for structures of violence is called "mecha"

I truly wonder in which universe this makes any sense as something other than a niche for hardware enthusiasts when the Steam Deck's second hand average price is about 100€ less than this thing's second hand average price Maybe american numbers are wildly different but this is just *more expensive*

this is what i'm talking about. you need to be paying attention to this, since it will change the video games industry very shortly. this reddit vid from 19 days ago (src: kent1146) shows steamos on an ayn thor, launching+playing BALL X PIT w no problems. you can get a compatible thor for ~$350.

someday people will understand that 99% of the issue is that in the majority of cases using linux, you can't just go to a website, click the download button, double click on the program you downloaded, and it's done like have you tried pirating a game on linux? worse even, *modding* one?

People will endlessly say that linux is "just too hard for the average person to use" while defending having to do 20 steps in 8 separate programs just to get the windows desktop not to be actively hostile. My Bröder in Computation, what has Bill Gates done to you to make you so pathetic?

Manwë told me Melkor keeps harrying the Firstborn of Ilúvatar so I asked how many Elves he has and he said he just goes to Middle-Earth and invites more Elves on the Great Journey so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding the Quendi to Morgoth and then Nienna started crying.

If this isn't up your alley, that's *completely* okay. You're not a whim. You're not a wuss. You are not 'uncool,' or lesser, or not a part of the mechsplo community for not wanting to act out the shit we read about. Don't force yourself to get into any of this if you don't want to, okay?

Get down to what they want: they want The Brand. They want to Roll A d20 and sometimes get a Natural 20. They want to experience the larger culture (but hot TOO much.) They don't read so they don't see the icky bits and they want to do one fight maybe. You can't compete with this, don't try.

If someone actually made the cozycore queer relaxed character interaction version of dnd they'd sell like 5 copies and get brigaded by dnd fans
