anybody gonna explain to me why alola was experiencing an economic boom in the 00’s?
time for kimty to be exceedingly normal about a video game
to be clear this isn’t the same message repeatedly
it’s new, unique messages every 100 steps because the story checkpoints are spaced that tightly together
every route, every building, every conversation with a story character
i swear like every 100 steps in pokémon sun you get a new handholdy message about where to go next
“What Does The Pokémon Say?”, a compendium of every line of pokémon dialogue from every main series game
what shape is Meltan? [image in following post]
greatest video game of all time is probably super hexagon, but that’s okay. i still liked some of the others
my hot CW take
people with good friends and strong communities invest their time and energy into those things instead of worrying about whether they have good “reach” or how a stranger will read their post

"The biases of the creators are encoded as part of the design" is often an axiom of user interface design. This got me thinking; the entire warning-bars-for-CWs thing is *gendered*.
White cis men are often raised with the expectation to be able to say anything, any time, and rarely be challenged by anyone (and mostly other white cis men when they are). There's no expectation of consequences for this behavior.
A lot of femmes, on the other hand, are taught to defer, demure, and not to challenge directly. This is definitely the norm in the US, and to some extent Germany I witnessed while living there for a bit. You know, put it behind physical closed doors, or an superficially innocuous code-word online. There's outright retribution for violating this tenet.
Stepping into the former's shoes, it's no wonder why a key masto developer treats them so snidely. It also explains the headscratching "CWs as censorship" nonsense, and the utter refusal to call the feature what it is:
A subject line.
you can’t just baldfacedly lie about video games anymore
spoilers for pokémon if you look under the truck there’s a poké ball containing mew
petition to replace all instances of “Shave and a Haircut” in popular culture with the sound of restoring your pokémon
oh look, #cats is trending
give me a playlist of music released between 1996 and 2008
on a cohost retrospective one quote which stuck out to me was “it was the only website i’ve been on where it felt like no matter what i posted, somebody would read it” and i’m sorry your internet experience has been so impoverished
if you had a small group of friends with ssh access to a cheap server you could make a simple forum with just a bit of shell scripting and it would be better than 90% of social media
you can title your fic “Echoes of Wisdom: Lesbian Edition” but that’s just Echoes of Wisdom
