Behold: my gremlin-sona

A custom character from the video game PEAK. They are yellow and have VERY startling eyes. They are also wearing a hat and glasses.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

I think it is a trap to frame ideas that are rooted from identity as less productive than those disconnected - and also easier to execute for some people who can view themselves as 'neutral'. I'm glad to try and take lines and notes that are more fruitful (as the original way it was presented has).

I think I can understand the intention, and see the polarization of people and an inability to connect (especially online), but I feel that context collapse and the machinations of increasing profits No Matter What™ are a bigger contributor. While my paraphrased summary doesn't do it justice...

What I found on the essay was something else entirely: "More generally, you can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any of the participants." and an avocation to not think of yourself as a label so you can "have better ideas".

I've been thinking the last few days about an essay that was recommended to me, Paul Graham's "Keep You Identity Small". It was summarized as 'be careful what you define yourself as, as you will then fit your actions to continue that definition' (I'm always late, I'm bad at ___, etc). However...

Just me studying lady's Power Stance™ in Lost Skies - the jank has been mostly on the charming side but this is my favorite for sure

A screenshot from the game Lost Skies. A player character has one leg on the floor and one leg above their waist on a crafting table. It appears extremely uncomfortable.

Finally made it to Mare's level in #TheEternalDie and... do I spy Bruno and Ludo Bets, the bag brothers of Fourberg from #LostinRandom?? What a cute little easter egg!

I'm so excited that #LostinRandom #TheEternalDie is just as charming as the original! My fave bit is all the environmental story-telling (and such a beautiful environment at that).

Incredible video by @bellular.bsky.social on physical games, preservation, and how @lostincult.co.uk is tackling it.

Genuinely never spoken before, which made this video 100% hitting the nail on the head of everything I've tried to build into this even more touching - ty!! 😭

and what exactly did you call this move on stream? 👀

While there are MANY things to love about Eastward, I've been enamored with the philosophical fridges, who each have something new to say about the nature of existence and recollection. 💛

Screenshots from the game Eastward. The text is laid out in three panels that read "You can refrigerate your memories here. But when you take them out again... will the new you really be you?" A fridge is the one speaking.

Me designing my vessel in Lost Skies:

A comic frame from the Matt Fraction run of Hawkeye, Clint Barton (Hawkeye) is driving a getaway boat while Kate Bishop (also Hawkeye) sits in a passenger seat. Clint is yelling "I'm great at boats!". It is implied that this is the first time he's driven a boat.

More games should include concept art as an unlockable, like a post-credits bonus. Most of the games that I know that have done this have been retro titles and we need to make it more common because it's inspiring and fascinating to see the hidden seams and iterations of a finished work of art.
