Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

So, TIL that 'backshot' doesn't just mean a stylistic picture taken from behind the target. Who knew?
.... look, just listen and it'll make sense.

- Loneliness is real; toxic mascilinity has hurt many like that
- You are allowed to feel feelings, and allowed to express them
- Being able and willing to cry doesn't make you weak. It makes you strong

@gailsimone.bsky.social Immediately thought of you for this one!
Just saw a woman being deliberately funny on the internet. This is not a drill. Don't panic lads we trained for this. I'll take angrily responding to her as if she literally meant the absurd claim unironically, you swing left on telling her she's so funny its hot not like other girls. Let's do this!

People like to rag on 'Well, now that I found out how putrid this person is, their work's not so hot.'.
They point out, rightfully, that the work itself hasn't changed. So it's all 'coping' and 'sour grapes'.
And... yeah, but also, isn't it *proven* that physical attraction is based one mental?

It's cute they think we *haven't* experienced this.
You mourn their death and move on.
Sure, it hurts like hell to find it out, but that doesn't mean you try to defend them.
Bad people hide who they are. The fault isn't in missing it. The *fault* is continuing to pretend it never happened.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I look at this, and of course my transgender ass just has to wonder whether something like this could be used in phalloplasty. Like, getting the 'scan' of the person's skin, printing the flat sheet, rolling it the same way you would an arm or side graft...

I'm... trying to stay hopeful about Metroid. But at least for me, part of the enjoyment was the utter *isolation* of it. It was you, left alone against the frightening world.
You drew your own maps. You learned your own lessons. You weren't some great hero; it's just you only *had* 'you' to do it.

Yes, this unfortunately is all that there is (as it was written to be a parody).

So, I just found out today that a friend (family, dammit) that used to be my ride-or-die when I lived in Tennessee, died the day after their wedding.
Because we talk so infrequently, I didn't find out until days after.

One thing I have *not* been able to find is where this author gets the books that he is deconstructing.
The idea is gorgeous. *BUT*, if the author is buying the books from bookstores, I have trouble praising the art when he's still putting money into JK's pockets.
So I'm hoping to God he's not.

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now?
Make something.
Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so.
It' s like flushing the brain toilet.
