you may ask what web technology has to do with gender trouble and in the asking of that question i can guarantee that you do not understand gender trouble
« But 24 hours with Gender Trouble has refined the screaming in my head to a very clear proposition that has nothing to do with anything I was thinking before I opened the book: there are some things that are hard for no reason and there are some things that are hard for a reason. » web technology is hard for a reason
@monorail there is a “flat” OpenDocument format (often used with extension .fod[tspgf]) which is just a single plain XML file, although support is less broad than zipped ODF
i don’t think DOCX has an equivalent unfortunately
@witchfynder_finder instead of joinin’ streams the boy will be formin’ teams 😭
@Satsuma are you a young person?
when i found out about mastodon it was because it was (a) new, (b) during the 2016 presidential election / immediate aftermath, and (c) queer techies were talking about it
(a) and (b) are not true anymore and the only people in the (c) camp are either already on mastodon or hate it
@witchfynder_finder like FUCK people who side with the templars in DA2 i would never
@witchfynder_finder yeah i mean interestingly i don’t have this complaint about, say, Dragon Age
@witchfynder_finder i think a lot of people treat games more like roleplay than like reading and that might be where this difference comes from
like i want to appreciate the story as a story not just roleplay my way through it over and over
but i’m not sure that’s the common fan approach
@witchfynder_finder usually with the justification of “i can’t do that to her” or “she deserves better”
like yeah she DOES deserve better but also that’s part of her story and to me it feels kind of like you’re doing her a disservice to willfully pretend like it’s not
@witchfynder_finder they are doing lots of playthroughs but specifically avoiding the endings where X character dies young every time
@witchfynder_finder what’s weird about it is that there are a set number of endings written into the game, right, and those are all like, part of the game, and people are just willfully avoiding some parts of it
idk to me it’s like skipping chapters of a book because you don’t want the characters to suffer
like, you do realize this is a fictional character, you are not actually consigning a real person to this fate, it’s just a story
Administrator / Public Relations for GlitchCat. Not actually glitchy, nor a cat. I wrote the rules for this instance.
