Tumblr, freed from the corporate world of yahoo/verizon/aol/oath, has embraced their user base as the horny little goblins they are and I fully expect porn to come back if they can get around credit card companies and app stores being prudes
If you haven’t been paying attention, tumblr got sold for pocket change to the Wordpress company, who promptly told the surviving staff “do whatever.” So now they have an ad free subscription, which is good.
then they stole an idea from somethingawful: give them ten American dollars and they will shotgun whatever shitpost you want onto 2500 random people’s dashboards. No targeting or anything, just “congratulations you get “hobbit love” or whatever that post about infinite chocolate.
Insomnia-induced Ar tonelico venting, pedo ment name n' shame
I guess I'm just constantly frustrated and at odds with myself because, like
I know AT can and has completely sidestepped the gross pandering shit in its sidestories and light novels, that's honestly why they're some of my favourites about the series
But I also know that doesn't excuse what's in the games and will not until the staff single out and decry those responsible for adding it, not to mention the very loud and representative voices in the community that condone it every waking chance they get
yes, Aquagon, I'm talking about you, you've done a lot for the community but you could not have picked a worse hill to die on, so fuck you for enabling pedophilia
Insomnia-induced Ar tonelico venting
Me: ar tonelico bad, the games are emblematic of an endemic cultural issue with their gratuitous fanservice surrounding underage characters
Also me: engages with the lore but from outside of the context of the games anyway
Why am I like this, it's one thing to like something while acknowledging its faults but in this case the faults are very very gross
I know they were obviously tacked on and can be divorced from the concept but just... ugh it's still bad and I wish I could find something with similarly extensive and in-depth lore that I could engage with instead
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! This is so so so much my thing.

PS. This is from the creator of Witch 'n Wiz, an excellent Catrap-like homebrew for NES.
my rule of thumb for the kind of glitches speedrunners like is that they should only be fixed if they can be performed by accident and they have some detrimental effect
so far I think the only speedrunning glitch we've fixed in AS:RD is a map break near the start of Landing Bay (basically you could fall out of the map)
we also marked some things that should have been marked as cheats as cheats, but that's a different concern (if you have to open the developer console to do it, it's not a glitch)
Tech nonsense
I am trying to sleep, stop giving me shit to think about, especially shit that requires a lot of intense logical analysis to determine if it's a sound concept and not gobbledygook
Tech nonsense
Me at 3 AM:
Brain: the only beneficial use for the blockchain would be the documentation of encrypted multimedia hashes so blobs can be shared between mesh networks after the collapse of the greater internet, with additions propogated based on number of signatories
Me: jesse wtf are you talking about
