i love all gay media and that's most of what i talk about online. arcade gamer on the 5th year of my RPG phase.
meaningful thing in dq1's combat was that each spell answers questions encounters have begun to raise (and sometimes that question is enemies casting one of your spells!). what i love about STGs is establishing then breaking perceptual assumptions / heuristics. maybe RPGs can do this too.

Any US friends who've bought from LRG should check your emails to see if you're due a cut of $2.7mil
Anyone not in the US or who hasn't bought from LRG can just have a laugh at them getting pumped for $2.7mil

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:
Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $
Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $
Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy
For example:
Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $
Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $
Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today. On the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott, the things we get wrong & what a fuller history shows us: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tass Times in Tonetown, like YU-NO, is a Lucky Wander Boy game ruled by strange dream logic. It's set inside a dream, but that dream isn't just "wacky"; it's a dream of a cooler, better world, one with more electronic punk music and fewer defined gender roles. It's from 1986, but also 2016 and 2046.

Reading peoples' eulogies, what's strikes me is she wasn't just a legend, she was several: Interplay founder and Bard's Tale/Wasteland programmer, MacOS gaming savior, Doom 3DO porter, 1st esports champion, PlayStation kernel coder. For me, first-and-foremost, the creator of Tass Times in Tonetown.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.
