Lmao I remember being obsessed with the demo of this game, then finding out the actual full game was mediocre and losing interest.

It’s available on ps plus, I tried it again recently and it’s genuinely not good tbqh

It’s frustrating that it can be totally random at times, but that’s also what makes it so good

So before I came out, I was in a straight-appearing relationship, with dynamics that were unconsciously just queer enough that we often lightly made fun of our more traditional straight couple friends, like literally “are the straights ok?” type stuff (we still thought we were straight though, somehow).

EVEN SO it was so much more stifling than any of my relationships after I came out. The expectations are constant and unrelenting until you get to a place where there’s no possible way anyone can read you as cishet, and even then cishets are so oblivious you have to outright tell them

How long until “they’re not really trans, they’re all AGP”?

For real. Its reputation as transphobic kept me away for a long time, but then when I actually went there is was by far the most trans positive online space I’d ever been in

I’ve heard that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is kind of a return to the original, shorter format.

I also really miss the first game. I loved how it seemed to be trying a new thing, even if it was a bit janky. God, if only I knew what it would become

Oh interesting. Thanks for correcting me

Oh no don’t insult our good friend and mentor Joe Biden

Also as a singular fact.

I thought Mau Mau was a name the Bri*ish imposed on Kenyan resistance groups rather than a name they used themselves?

He was convicted on one charge recently

3 Houses is also interesting in that, like, you can make a solid case that Ingrid is gay but is restricted by her society’s expectations for what it means to be a crested noble, especially a woman crested noble. The subtext with Felix and Sylvain is also pretty strong and along the same lines, as with why Gilbert left his family. Then there’s Hubert and his devotion to a queer woman who wants to tear down the system causing people to repress like this.

There’s a lot of writing just under the surface that has interesting things to say about queerness and what it means to dismantle the systems that suppress it that I wish had been much more explicit.

P3 is also interesting because

I feel the same way. I love Karlach and all but I like my lesbian romances to resonate with my experiences.

I do get why people like playersexuality though because it does often feel like it’s that or basically no options. Like in Fire Emblem 3 Houses, I can either have like 20 straight options or 3 lesbian options, one of which isn’t available in 2 of 3 (or 3 of 4, depending how you count) routes. My actual preference is characters having actual sexualities with comparable options for all, but failing that I’ll take playersexuality

I think the bronze bull that people would get thrown into and boiled was to worship Moloch. Different part of the world

Why is my comment yellow

He has shown “proof” a couple times. Like that time he showed proof of China sterilizing people in Xinjiang that actually showed the opposite, because he “accidentally” moved a decimal one place over

Oh man Peace Walker where you play as Amanda and Big Boss was just a support character would rip actually

I think that means Rising is the only political one?

Would explain why I left when I came out

Also, Hamas was offering prisoner exchanges from day 1. Like that was the whole point of Oct 7. When they released Yochefed Lifschidtz because they didn’t have the means to give her medical care, the IOF refused to take her back multiple times- and her saying she was treated basically well was why, during the later prisoner exchanges, they didn’t allow most of them to speak to press.

The hostages are an extremely obvious pretext and the families of the hostages are reportedly furious about it
