I don't know what that would look like but the fact every game released on the biggest gaming platform in the world has a defacto right-wing freak gathering zone attached to it is: Bad

Very bad! I would go as far as to say it's one of the worst things about the gaming landscape atm

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

these are kinda rare I think because they're distributed exclusively as crane game prizes of all things but the prices vary wildly from 10 to 50 bucks depending on the song?

did you know Konami puts out some of their bemani songs on their own discs with the full jacket illustration and everything? Adorable little bits of merch and I picked one up recently cos I saw someone selling it for like eight bucks

it's International Lesbian Day! which, among other things, reminded me that this big cool SLARPG ensemble piece I did at the start of 2023 never got posted on here. so here's that!

shoutouts as always to pretty furry women who kiss other women and punch gods, you could say I'm sort of an enthusiast

my immediate gut reaction is "you probably shouldn't do this" but I can't formulate a coherent argument for why at the moment. i'm just kind of stunned.

also willing to give credit: the mods have been banning the awful people. not *quite* as aggressively or quickly as I think is ideal, particularly the people still trying to bump the hacks up the set requests are basically self-identifying as shit-stirrers

But! They have banned some bigots! Yay!

I will give credit where it is due, particularly because I have been pretty mean about all this. This is an unambiguous positive move and one of the better possible outcomes from all this? So, that's nice. Yay!

OK well that's good info but people have definitely been manually doing it for longer than the feature has existed, in that case.

Punchy @punchystream.bsky.social · 1d

pretty sure yeah I've never had access to any automatic title A/B testing.

unless this is something only cool people get I think they've been doing it manually

Punchy @punchystream.bsky.social · 1d

also I am not gonna lie I have absolutely a/b tested thumbnails because sometimes I have a thumbnail and I can't decide if it scans better with or without text on it or something

Punchy @punchystream.bsky.social · 1d

what I find interesting is that a/b testing thumbnails is a feature YT provides (you can do up to 3 thumbnails, even), but not titles

title a/b testing is the creator doing it purely manually, changing the title of a video after its been up for a day or two

in the way that's kind of the entire thesis of f, a rejection of guilt. The world wants to make Hinako feel guilty for her desires, decisions and flauting of expectations, to which Hinakos response is an increasingly terse and exhausted "No." despite ever mounting pressures.

Punchy @punchystream.bsky.social · 1d

people kept asking me during my runs "ok so what's Hinako guilty about why are the horrors happening" and this is SH2 fandom-brain and not how SH really works.

Hinako is not guilty about Shit, she's scared but also *angry* about stuff, that's why F is a more visceral action game.
