We came out as plural!
Our "official" sys name is Clarity.

There's two "sides" to us.

💖 Rin (he/any) is demimasculine, often represented by red-haired avatars. I'm usually fronting here.
💙 Mari (she/her) is transfeminine, often represented by black-haired avatars.

A cup of decaf iced latte. As shown on the receipt under the cup, it's for Mari.

Please never send us any AI-generated memes, especially videos. Just don't. I don't care if it's to laugh at the quality of them, we do not want to see them.

Azure Striker Gunvolt is one of those games where playing for score is too spicy but playing for survival feels so sauceless

arguably one of the worst things about car dependent suburban sprawl is that it's a core reason (along with brick & mortar favored zoning laws and racism and classism and-) that the US doesn't have a street food culture like elsewhere in the world. i want more local street food delicacies damn it.

💙 For real though I think idol game tiering events (in ProSeka, Bandori, etc) are predatory and exploitative as fuck, they encourage people to sacrifice other commitments and their own health (for lack of sleeping or eating) just to get a "I got top 10/3rd/2nd/1st" title, it's just as evil as gacha.

Trying this again (while again yelling at @bsky.app to add an edit or delete-and-redraft button).

If it's a shmup or a "competitive"-ish rhythm game like Chunithm or IIDX we probably have some opinion on it (don't take it personally if our opinion is negative, tho).

Tell me a video game name and I'm going to tell you my honest opinion about it.

I think a lot of the current "Social Media makes you miserable" stuff comes from people who don't use SM to be social. They use it to consume. And then they don't consume socially either. They use some kind of algorithmic feed to show content by people they don't know saying god knows what.

Crazy how many very close friends I have now that come directly from social media. It's amazing how many positive messages I've gotten from people, both for game design or just openly talking about gender stuff. God the amount of shit I learned from tumblr years ago! This shit isn't inherently bad!!

My workplace ordered Chick-Fil-A for lunch again, with only me being the slightest bit uncomfortable about it.

Of course, 4chan regulars will continue to insist that California is a far-left Maximum Woke stronghold where cishets get shot on sight.

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.
