though I did see a lot of people mention "Wal-Mart plastic bags" and that isn't anywhere in the game, so I don't know how they came to that conclusion???

i don't speak a lick of Chinese so I had to use a translator and i'm sorry to anyone who wants a Chinese translation but our entire dev team only speaks English. i'm very happy to see the reach has extended so far though, that's very exciting!

don't let the actual humans who are responsible for this distract you with some meaningless bullshit by inventing nothing-burger discourse to divert your attention away from them. google makes billions a year while millions of real people starve.

yet again, anger is being directed at the end product and the tools instead of the system causing it, just allowing capitalists to throw in another distraction. don't let them distract you with discourse about new tech, ignore it and focus on the source of all of this: capitalists.

or, further, even, that it primes people to be more hateful towards people, with souls, largely neurodivergent, who self-identify as computers and robots (i see you guys!) by targeting the physical characteristics of being a robot rather than critiquing tech giants and low-effort content farms

but forgive me if i find myself a little annoyed at the gut reaction of a section of the population to invent a new slur against something they find tiresome, using the same cadence of slurs against minority groups. forgive me if i find it "problematic"

i, too, wish corporations would stop shoving slop down our throats, but this isn't anything new. just like NFTs, it's a capitalism on a hyperoptimized timescale. It's the same as fast fashion and the enshittification of the internet. It's capitalism.

this isn't a metaphor. it literally looks like this, almost exactly

and had to oversimplify the characters (especially Bella) to get it done in any sort of timely fashion... if i wasn't so burned out, i'd consider remastering the animations to be more polished

out of all the negative feedback i expected, "this game is too gay" wasn't on my list. i may have overestimated bigots' basic reading comprehension skills

imperatively: september either cannot read or cannot count as they said it was, and i quote "four thousand" dollars, when it is in fact four MILLION dollars. i guess they count to the hundreds in cents in pennance

yeah i MADE this language but i'm not a native speaker of it! grammar rules?! do i seem like i know grammar rules?! YES, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary that i make a conlang otherwise the place names won't feel consistent enough and the accents won't be explained
