Took my real name off my profile.

For all my friends on here, if you could refer to me as "Silmerion", "Merry" or "Sil" in online spaces, that'd be great. Offline I am still happy to go by my real name; this is not a deadname announcement.

my go to adage for FGs and stuff in general is “never trust anyone who makes money on a hobby designed to lose it”

the world gets easier to figure out when you realize 95% of Big Fighting Game Names stand for absolutely nothing except for a fatter wallet

My absolutely serious reply to people like this is that we have no idea how America would react to a major politician taking an absolute moral stand because none have ever tried

If bluesky does go up in flames, I would like to make a suggestion: maybe try making the next social media website a different colour.
I mean, the blue probably isn't the thing driving the CEOs to madness, but it's worth checking.

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.

Also, Makoto Yukimura said trans rights.

io9: Your portrayal of Indigenous and transgender characters—like the Lnu tribe and Cordelia—stands out in a media landscape where such representation is still rare outside of series like Golden Kamuy, Skip and Loafer, and Paradise Kiss, where they’re often mishandled. What impact do you hope these characters have on expanding the narrative terrain? How do you see your storytelling challenging the ethnocentric lens that dominates much of mainstream media when it comes to that representation?

Yukimura: I did have written characters in [Vinland Saga] from a marginalized ethnic group [and] who are LGBTQ featured here. I actually wanted to portray a character with a disability in the story, too. However, because of the setting, I really couldn’t find the right place to incorporate such a character into the story. One thing I really don’t understand, though, is why do people attack such folks? Is it because they’re different? Why do they just focus on bad things about these groups and generalize them? I truly don’t understand why people do such things. I plainly feel sad when it comes to the way people treat each other.

To me, it’s quite normal for people to have uniqueness. It’s almost needless to say that we all individually have a uniqueness that might be considered different than what is the majority. For example, I grew up in an era where higher education was considered to be the most important thing in society in Japan. You almost had no paths in life outside of that structure. I actually do live outside of that structure, and I’m living perfectly fine. I really want to say that uniqueness is okay. I don’t understand why people are making those judgments to say, “This is okay, but this is not okay.”

I haven’t really thought about what this type of storytelling or character would have an impact on society at all. I’m just writing, drawing, and portraying society as I see it and what I think is normal from my eyes in the manga. If people don’t agree with that version of what I think is a normal society, then oh well. (Laughs) That’s too bad. Those people don’t have to read my manga.

That all makes sense but it still feels like cheating to pick a guest character

The Simpsons scene where Mr Burns announces that everyone who has found true love can leave early. Except he says "every country who's arrested and imprisoned a President within the past year may leave early". France, South Korea and Brazil celebrate

There used to be an SCP article called The Hateful Star. Deleted maybe as much as a decade ago. The pitch was that it was a star beelining for Earth at a speed of ~0.2c and whenever it was viewed with a telescope it would vary its brightness to encode angry rants at the viewer

Something interesting in this interview is Yamada saying that he feels like VF5/REVO is the endpoint of an evolutionary chain for the series, with New VF restarting things. It does feel like they're aiming to make VF5REVO the "forever 3D fighting game" akin to 3rd Strike in the 2D space

Person 1: *nuanced argument about the proper place of something uncomfortable within society*

Person 2: okay, but have you considered that you've just grossed me out a little?

Persons 3 through 10: can't argue with that

Absolutely infuriating how powerful a rhetorical device "Nice argument, but aren't you actually a disgusting freak who deserves what we do to you?" is
