will be thinking about this probably for the rest of the week

me parece que se están yendo un poquito a la mierda no

This moral panic has to stop. How does a post that uses this kind of language has like 15k notes.

If you oppose AI, the corporatization of technology and polluting data-centers that makes sense. I think that the environmental effect of AI is overstated (and also conflated with the rest of internet activity) but I also oppose this waste of materials to feed a corporate trend that is feeding an economic bubble.

"ai viriginity" or the whole pride on never being tainted about an AI, you should have realized this is fucking weird the minute you typed "ai viriginity". What the fuck are you even talking about.

I don't want to reblog the OP because I don't want to get in arguments but then the reblog chain goes something "don't fall for the moral OCD!" and in the next sentence "you aren't tainted or sinful for having used AI once", you are the ones making up the moral OCD, what the fuck are you doing

16k notes by the way.

MGS 2:

so so so funny to respond to the demands for a sequel to metal gear solid by doing an extremely high effort solid snake fakeout (solid snakeout) and then actually make the players play as a whiny femboy who slips on bird shit and falls up the stairs. unfortunately you do in fact sometimes have to hand it to hideo kojima

pretending that it's in any way not obvious that pliskin is snake is also very funny. the fact that you can catch him sneaking away in a box is really good. these games are often quite funny on purpose, i think that's my biggest surprise from watching them (though sometimes it can be a bit hard to tell how on purpose it is?)

"this guy who drinks blood and whose origin story involves being impaled by a crucifix and who is just basically a literal vampire is called Vamp." " because of the vampire stuff?" "what, no, it's because he's bisexual." <- literal actual comms exchange that happened (paraphrased but less than you might think)

good lord every single interaction between Raiden and Rose (and yes raiden's name is Jack wow kojima you watch movies??? that's so cool wow) is just excruciating and i have no idea if that's intentional on kojima's part (it involves a woman so probably not), if it weren't for #mystreamer and his chat being right there with me i don't know how I'd be surviving it

raiden says "priority my butt!" that's as much as he's allowed to swear

oh the person who does the voice for eggman in the sonic realtime fandub is absolutely drawing inspiration from the performance for Fatman in this game I would bet money on it

genji overwatch really literally is just greyfox huh

at least some of the Ways kojima is about women is optional gameplay stuff.... but y'know. he could have simply chosen to not be like that instead. and he should have.

at least the justification for why you can't brush up against an enemy while in disguise is really stupid. the uniform he found is too tight, raiden's clothes will go flying off.

we have our first instance of someone pissing their pants in fear in this one!

oh I see. so in mgs1 we have Solid Snake, and his genetically identical except with all recessive genes because that’s how twins work twin Liquid Snake. and then at the end they hint to there being a secret Third One. so naturally I was like ok, we’re doing states of matter themeing, this’ll be something like Vapor Snake, makes sense i guess. no. of course. It’s Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and the logical third act: Solidus Snake.

hey self it's you from like 3 months in the past. remember this game? that was fun you should do it again. hey mutuals you should prod me in this posts's notifications to make sure i see it maybe, if you feel like it.

this fired when I was deep into a depressive episode last time but maybe this time?

So the funniest difference between me and kiddo's previous foster mother is that she was telling me I've gotta call ahead and make sure all the staff at the hairdressers know kiddo is trans so they don't misgender him, and make sure they know he's a foster kid so they understand why it's me taking him and not his real mum and all that, and I've just said nah that's not how you do it.

I go to the barber, I say "my son would like a haircut", they do not question me about whether he is my son on either point. This has worked perfectly so far. You just don't give anyone a reason to question you? If I say he is my son it is so unbelievably rude for someone else to go "um are you sure?".

But yesterday the barbers apprentice looked at him and asked if he is getting a woman's cut, and instead of arcing up and explaining trans theory and respect for kiddos gender to someone who I knew heard me the first time and had clocked him, I just channeled the spirit of a Christian Mother In The Toy Aisle and said "well, he is a boy so no, he will have a boys cut".

Shuts down bullshit immediately! Nobody wants to be yelled at by someone's Karen mother! Kiddo does not hear this little pricks opinion on trans people or get humiliated by being outed in the barbers. You do not have to tell people all your intimate details! You certainly do not have to tell people all your kids intimate details either, especially if you think they'll be a target.

popping my vagina into another woman’s vagina… candace owens is creating new forms of sex im not even able to visualise

So what happens is that you know how everyone knows you have to have vulva to vulva sex with your mouth open so that you don't accidentally create a seal and get stuck together? well you can do it with your mouth closed, make the seal, and then the more dominant vagina sucks the whole vaginal canal of the weaker one inside itself with its vacuum pressure.

Pretty cool stuff actually.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

sorry to put your tags on blast on this insane breach containment post I have since muted, but you're right and you should say it.

It is defeatable. Go for the throat.

Shout out to the phrase “I’m going to become the joker” for capturing a very specific and real emotion

if i went to bed early tonight i think it would prove that i am extremely well adjusted and as a result cool attractive funny women from all over would somehow find me and befriend me with intent to test dating compatibility

how well adjusted does it count as if i make it to the phone in bed wind down phase at uh 12:22 (typically lasts 30 mins. well ok often longer but i think i can limit it to 30 or less this time)
