It's very possible the school was chosen on purpose, and "AI hallucination of old data" was used as a cover story when the executive branch realized outright killing civilians, especially young women and girls, was still largely unpalatable to the US public.

Itโ€™s been two years since Death of a Wishโ€™s release. Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s played and supported us these past few years!

We are introducing a price cut for the game to $14.99 (or your local equivalent) on Steam and itch. More info here store.steampowered.com/news/app/230...

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekโ€”and those are the ones we know about. Itโ€™s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

Itโ€™s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

While I don't like some of these fetishes, I would NEVER restrict someone else from partaking in it as long as it's harmless. That's all there is to it, just don't get involved and it won't affect you. No need to actively hunt it down and kill it for everyone else.

Frankly, it is. It's iconic and deserves respect and, dare I say, reverence.

The problem with this argument is that it's "genres don't exist & words have no meaning, because I don't like it."

It has a general consensus of meaning as a genre among the larger population. Its use carries consistent expectation. It's not your scene. "Cozy" doesn't comfort you. And that's fine.

Every game is on the game's terms. There is no singular template that is cozy with nothing else fitting, merely trends based on the most common psychological responses. And if "cozy" style games don't comfort you... that's okay.

How it is used can help determine how stressful it is. Long enough timers, such as dailies, can help push players to explore more functions, like camp/home-building and decorating, and experiencing the world.

And pixel graphics can still present soft shape language. It's all in how it's used.

Or they did it there on purpose to get a legal battle to garner attention, waste advocates' money, and eventually force a Supreme Court decision.

"Smooth Shape Language" refers to the graphics: primary & exceeding use of rounded shapes, & minimization of sharp/pointy edges.

"Low-Stress" is both low-stakes &, usually, low-difficulty.

Pace is also typically slow, & often makes use of timers to discourage hyperfocus & encourage creativity.

We must make sacrifices for the little green cinnamon roll, because she won't make sacrifices for herself.

Konsi the goblin in the form of a marketable cute plushie. She is very rounded and squeezable.

The plushie's shape resembles the makeship plushies of Honey the Goblin from the artist honeygoblin.

I'd love to make a Konsi Plushie someday, although it's a bit of a pipe dream.

The shape I used is based on the makeship angel plushie from the ever-illustrious @honey-goblin.bsky.social

For the sake of communicating clearly, it's probably better to distinguish between "cozy" games (which are broadly soothing and low-stress by design, and tend to use smooth shape languages), and "comfort" games (which the individual finds soothing regardless of design intent).

You'd need more than one channel, for some of the parallel/alternate timelines.

As a man, I'd like to clarify:

It's not that we don't see the smile & body language.

We've seen it before & reached out. We were called "creepy," and possibly lost friends over it. So when you're doing it, we look to experience, and whether you're worth risking our support network over a maybe.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
