I swear to God my brain has a faster processing speed that it only allows to be turned on for playing Warioware. Like normally I have terrible reflexes and actual visual and auditory processing deficits, but specifically when playing Warioware some sort of instinct kicks in and I do shit without consciously processing it until I come to like I've woken up from a trance and the microgame is done.

"It is what it could be" is my favorite quote from The Unsleeping City Season 2, because of how relevant it is now, especially as a rejection of "It is what it is". Because as much as "it is what it is" is intended to be a message about not worrying about what you can't change, it's become a message of complacency for some. And I don't think it's a coincidence that the man who rejects "it is what it could be" is the man who is an unwitting accomplice in the evil committed by the analogue of Amazon and by extension late stage capitalism in general.

Remember, it is what it could be. Keep fighting in any way you can, because we *can* stop the forces that are trying to steal us from ourselves.

I watch hard challenge runs but they scare me whenever I try to do them and so I'm kinda just playing The Sims with cannibalism and doing terrible things to prisoners

How come despite all the hornyposting I have not seen one SINGLE person asking if Tenna's full name is Anthony Tenna??

In a Hamlet/Othello situation I feel like if the main characters of Deltarune and the Bad Kids from Fantasy High switched universes I think they would flawlessly wrap up each other's plots with no baggage. No I can't explain.

If you ever think your character name is too cliche or whatever just remember that the de facto main character of the Thieves Guild quest line in the critically acclaimed and fan favorite game The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, is named Corvus Umbranox, which is straight up Latin for Crow Shadow Night.

Is anyone else just slightly disappointed that the new Rimworld DLC actually does begin with O? Like I was hoping the RIBAORLD acronym would be thwarted again. I wanted to see a new letter revealed. Instead we just got the same letter we were expecting.

I love elder scrolls but they could really do with some better conlangs

Deltarune Chapter 4 Song You’re Currently Obsessed With Poll

**SPOILERS FOR TRACK NAMES UNDER THE CUT**

Only allowed twelve so this physically hurt me. I tried to pick ones that didn’t share a motif but…I failed.

Why did the English localization of Rhythm Heaven translate the game as "Lumbearjack"? The character in question is clearly not a bear (the animal), he looks like a white wolf if anything. It's not hard to then go with the other clear pun for the game title "Timber Wolf". And the Japanese name of the game (Makineko) translates to "firewood cats" referring to the cats that are also in the level. This can only mean one thing: the translators were intending to use the secondary meaning of bear (large hairy gay man). In this essay I will-

susie's story (esp in ch4) is so deftly realised. so often you see the "character who thinks little of themself is encouraged to pursue their True Value" storyline unfold in a way that has the character redirected away from "unfitting" desires, like a physically weak character who wants to be physically strong learning to value their personality instead or whatever but susie. susie who is - mechanically, in her stats in the game - best suited to hitting things with an axe, who "doesn't look like she should be playing the piano", is encouraged to pursue a skill she doesn't have because an educator took the time to get to know her and realise what she has genuine passion for. and she's not automatically great at it! she has objectively bad spelling and grammar in her letter to alvin, it's not like she unlocked some secret hidden talent - storytelling and communicating and creative expression in general is something she cares a lot about and genuinely enjoys, but it's something she has to work for. there's a reason why the gerson fight is so long and gruelling. but through this hard work and better understanding of herself we see susie learn how to reject imposed frameworks that occlude her actual personality - she literally shatters the tapestry that tells her the one and only way her story can end, and in doing so prevents Kris from ever having the chance to think of her in that position, whatever it is. it's her story, and she's learning how to tell it.

AND all of this is done without for even a second implying she needs to be even the tiniest bit more feminine than her rough and rude masculine self. hell, from the way she and gerson mirror each other in their loud and abrasive laughs, her unapologetic butchness is presented as a trait that aligns her closer with him and from there with her truest self
