I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

Definitely. It happened to me in some capacity *and* I wound up drifting into spaces that both reinforced some of my internalized anti-Blackness/respectability learning from my upbringing. Ugly loop to be stuck in, and I'm still deprogramming from it. (1/5)
I really do not understand why we can’t be nuanced and admit that some Black people genuinely were rejected for being weird and that “weird” was often equivalent to “white.” 😵‍💫

Entirely correct take. Trust me, if I was petite bougie (not aiming this at OP quoted below but what they're replying to) then my pinned post wouldn't be what it is right now and I wouldn't be trying to hustle together enough money to be sure I'm not out on my ass while working on this game. (1/2)
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

I see Tim has been talking to the Krafton CEO lately.

Either that or the slop brainworm transmits its thoughts transcontinentally.

I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid

I'm in a Discord server where a ton of people are and I know if I make a big enough fuss I'll just get in trouble so I'm leaving them alone. They don't care enough to either notice or stop and I'm not in a position to get them to listen, so I just ignore them or tell them I'm not going to play it.
everyone playing where winds meet did you know that its FULL OF GENERATIVE AI? why are you playing it!

Also, coming back to the thing I quote posted earlier where I broke my usual rule of "don't quote to dunk", because someone else essentially said "well dogpiling isn’t justice and it's bad to do this to people with smaller followings than you": yes.

BUT there is *nuance* to this. (1/5)

This article reinforces something @annie.redpanda.fun said to me once about how LLMs and Generative AI don't have any sense of interiority and illustrates her point beautifully.

Putting aside my personal gripes with the concept of intelligence at all, the key thing is this: (1/4)
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Given that the person Ify is talking about here has deactivated I'll break my usual rule of "don't quote to dunk" to say this:

You reap what you sow. And if you didn't want this, then you should learn better ways of letting out people who are in your head rent free, because this was racist. (1/3)

Chun-Li cameos in both Breath of Fire 2 in a really random and out-of-the way event, and Breath of Fire 3. She's joined by Sakura in BoF 3; they're both in the crowd at the Contest of Champions if you look carefully when the camera pans over the larger crowd.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Just finished watching the new Defunctland coverage and BOY HOWDY MY OPINION IS STILL UNCHANGED I TELL YOU WHAT.
The main thing I'm intending to get at here is mostly that Disney has always had the most dangerous seed at its core as a company: unchecked ambition. I personally think Walt planted it and it's bedeviled them since because they can't let it go, and everything they do is driven by that. (4>>)

I mostly think that it's always more helpful to simply be honest in saying "this game wasn't for me" rather than "this game is bad" for precisely this reason. If you like IV better than V or V better than 6 I'm not going to grudge you, but you can't say "game's dead" with figures like these. (3/3)

Now some of this might be because I don't pay attention to what FG heads have been saying about the health of the game, and obviously sales figures on their own aren't the only story, BUT to me that speaks of a game that's doing just fine despite what people say about it. (2/3)

as of the last sales figures we have for sfv (sept. 30, 2025, as said here: www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/b...) SF6 is just a bit shy of overtaking SF2 in terms of copies sold, but most critically is within spitting range of overtaking SFV despite being out for only 2 years. (1/3)
November 20, 2025 at 11:52 PM
This is related to one of the major things I talked about the other day where I said "this is why I don't listen to what FG heads say about SF6" while discussing sales figures & the game's popularity writ large. Take responsibility for having and cultivating your own opinions. (1/4)
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Something came up tonight (not a bad thing, just A Thing) so I'm not streaming today. We'll be back on Sunday.

So I'll boost this mutual aid request I have. We've been at 32% for about a week & a bit now, and 50% before December starts would really ease my spirit. Share the link or give if you can.
