holy shit

johnny silverhand is not stuck in a ghost story in cyberpunk 2077 stuck in the 80's, it's stuck in the 1800s. it is prefigured for an understanding of technology built for anxieties about loss of humanity over use, not exploitation

reporting like this generally happens because we've largely re-capitulated to videogames as toys that should be improved constantly

lex this is ruthless

the riots are coming the riots are coming and they know

great

the artists burden baybeeeee

i know how to do this pretty well irl to the point i scared a guy at a con to the point he passed out

damn who is this her work seems great.

i think a major weakness of western game writing is that we lack a comprehensive understanding of the culture and politics of places outside our purview, and so we try to understand them wholly from only our own small viewpoints. i do. not have a solution for this

that's @noescapevg.com @aglhr.me @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social @stopcar.ing @lexluddy.xyz @uel.bsky.social who's work i consider an earnest driving force behind me wanting to write. of course i find a lot of writing through @critdistance.bsky.social

i started reading game criticism again about a year ago in my effort to write more and see what people are making. i have a list of people i consider peers who make the kinds of things i'm interested in reading

when i was writing the humiliation of jill valentine it's kind of coming from a place where i see critics as assuming i am interested more in their emotions than how a text is viewed. a legion of people asking the content-mother to play sexy peekaboo with them

we cant use things like ludonarration or examining power fantasies in mainstream criticism for fear of gamer backlash and so the chilling effect of gamergate continues. the public has no interest in game criticism outside of a circle of journalist readers it often feels like

mouthwashing is a deeply conservative game from a conservative studio and i watched critics fall over it because it features a psychedelic aesthetic, we generally fail to pass a.low bar for standards of media criticism set in the 1970s

true honestly

we are so mad when women know how to Post

this is like a parody of mealsbycug

also because ofnthe way okcupid handled sexuality and gender, i know a lot of straight people who got lifelong queer friends there.

i honestly think okcupid was first to get bought BECAUSE it was so good at finding freaks to hang out with. that's how i found my college roommates, my first writing instructor. all typescof connections that have been made impossible on dating sites since
