Urgh. Back in bed with the same cold I’ve had all week. Not sad about missing work, but I am getting bored with coughing.
Medium-grade technical problem + boss who's in meetings until fifteen minutes before my usual going-home time = annoyance
I’m on the selection panel for the Interdisciplinary Residency at Hospitalfield which is a two week retreat in Arbroath, Scotland with full board and access to a number of facilities to improve your craft, research, learning and artistic practice.

That's a really pertinent point of view, that somehow makes an already bleak phenomenon appear even bleaker.
I figured it needed a lot of deep changes, but I'm more and more convinced that we need to make hardcore gamer "culture" disappear altogether... #gaming

Plug in your Mastodon and Twitter accounts and it'll point out any of your Twitter follows that are already on Masto.

I'm stoked that Cuphead is doing well! But this is a really good critique of its art and influences! And in particular how claiming not to have engaged with the art's history is consciously doing just that!

I actually have a kind of General Theory of TERFs that does a pretty good job of accounting for the attitudes and worldview. Unfortunately, there aren’t any practical applications.
I seem to be doing badly with Visual Novels in general, now I think of it. Couldn’t get past the opening of Ladykiller in a Bind because triggers, liked Kindred Spirits on the Roof until I realised it was creepy, lost interest in Hakuoki. I quite enjoyed Code: Realize though, so there’s that.
I started playing Doki Doki Literature Club but I keep taking breaks because the opening is too much like an actual insipid dating game to hold my interest.

“Domination does not work by appearing as domination. Domination works by presenting a dominant view as just another view (that someone has the right to express). This is why the socially and politically dominant present themselves as discursively marginal: as having to fight a consensus to articulate a viewpoint.” - Sara Ahmed

I had ballet tickets tonight so of course I came down with a cold yesterday and now I’m in bed shivering. 😷🍵🛌😴
