Ok so!! I tried looking around and I can't find anything so

Reblogs are appreciated to help spread the word!! 💜💜

“I’m so sick of politics in video games”

what the person likely actually means:

“I’m tired of badly shoehorned references to the current POTUS or the 2016 US Presidential Election that will age like milk”

“I don’t like to see idiotic swipes or jokes at the expense of Richard Spencer or someone like that, because nobody fucking understands what the hell you’re talking about unless you’re a no lifer that lives online like me and I feel the lesser for it”

“Do you really need to put in a “So much for the tolerant ______” joke in your game?”

“Your attempt at exploring politics through the writing for your game would be embarrassing for a 16 year old to write and you’re fucking in your 30s holy fucking shit”

“I see what you tried to do here but you categorically failed entirely and only made a half baked surface level take”

“Nice joke, did John Oliver write it for you?”

“why did you say “triggered” or put an attack helicopter joke in this thing this is not a flashgame on newgrounds what the fuck is wrong with you”

“This transgender character that behaves like no actual trans person behaves is actually extremely offensively written and your attempts to deflect criticism by accusing your critics and detractors of transphobia and being the alt right are reductive and unhelpful”

“god can I please follow an indie game developer I liked on twitter without having to be held hostage by their bizarre meltdowns every week?”

what absolute idiots hear:

“I am somehow both a nazi and a coward centrist with no ideals at the same time!”

Opinion on MGS Delta?

I don't trust Konami whatsoever, and it's not the first time they tried to bait us with a MGS3 "HD REMAKE" trailer that was nothing at all like the final product, especially graphically...

HOWEVER, the Screenshots from Delta do seem promising, and it appears to be a 1:1 remake, but we have no real detail on who's actually making the game, since Konami hasnt really made a big console game since 2021's "eFOOTBALL" (basically Pro Evo Soccer's revival attempt). And at least with the Silent Hill 2 remake, we know who's actually making it. The only 2 companies I trust 100% with development of the remake are BLUEPOINT (see: SOTC remake on PS4) and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS Anyways, See y'all at MGS CON

A True Feminist Hero.

being a pepper plant has to be so weird.

Imagine evolving capsaicin specifically to stop mammals from eating your fruits, and then a mammal comes along that not only will eat your fruits, but likes them specifically because of the capsaicin, so much that it starts using its weird paws to distribute and care for your seeds, which turns into a strong selective force that literally starts evolving you into producing MORE capsaicin and makes you a WAY more successful and wider ranged species than you ever were before

simply because this mammal LOVES Pain Chemical. that evolved specifically to produce pain in mammals. It's not that the capsaicin isn't WORKING. It's just that these freaks like it.

George Lucas filmed a scene in Episode I where ducks sit in the water on Naboo. A character even has a line saying “we’ll be sitting ducks” in that same movie. So ordinary ducks just exist in Star Wars for some reason. Also, in Episode V, Han says “I’ll see you in HELL” before leaving the Hoth base to rescue Luke.

fantasy characters: “Geez”

me: who the fuck spread Christianity there

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

The Entertainment Software Association, which represents the video game industry, said it told the president that “numerous scientific studies” show there is “no connection between video games and violence.”  In fact, Markey said his work shows when a new violent game is released, crime actually drops.
