Yuri is beautiful, but what's arguably even more beautiful is to read or watch something that doesn't seem like it'd have it, but it suddenly has it. That's cinema. Motoko having girlfriends in Standalone Complex or Valmet being gay in Jormungand elicited many reactions from my girlfriend hahahaha
Yeah. Casette futurism can sometimes feel deliberately "this is a call-back to old technology," but SAC's retroness feels like it's simply because it's produced in 2002. Nobody knows what an iPhone is when they were making it, they just put down what they know
I love how retro Standalone Complex feels without even trying. Everyone's using flip phones, film projectors and CDs. Not a single touch screen interface in sight
Mamoru Hosoda fell off with Scarlet because his best work- the ones you know him for, is actually written by someone else
then I turned around to say thank you and she was gone already. Maybe that was rude. My partner said maybe its a fan, but I dunno. How do you even be ready for that kinda stuff
Got dolled up yesterday, did some shopping with my partner and while I was checking out, I got tapped on my shoulder by a lady who I thought was the staff. I thought I did something wrong, but she very nervously said "um, you are very pretty" and it was so unexpected we both laughed-
she sounded like she was bricked up
I was replaying KnS2 and the scene when she was teaching Satsuki how to dance was so fucking hot
So when you jump in and kill another player it feels like a very real decision. I did that. In BF6 I dont feel much killing a whole squad because I am expected to engage with the enemy team all the time. In Marathon or Tarkov, one kill feels crazy because I squared the fuck up and won
FPS games usually funnel you into encounters, so a fight is expected. But in extraction shooters you get to seriously consider if you want to fight or run, or to ignore someone or hunt them down. You can't get that in a TDM, for example
Extraction shooters are compelling not really because of the risk of losing everything, but because of the context of the PvP encounters. Engaging in combat in them is a very, very active and conscious a player has to make
Marathon solo as a Recon basically makes me feel like a Yautja. It's so fun to hunt people down in this game

Sword Art Online games are the very definition of "Second Person Perspective" games because you're playing a character watching Kirito do the main character stuff
Have been watching Ikoku Nikki. Super big into it. Makio is literally me. Seeing her write and type up a storm in so many scenes has got something deep burning in me
Thank you!
Rude

Watched Whiplash. God, I don't condone it, but I totally get it. That situation where your family doesn't understand and REFUSES to understand what you do and what you dream to do. What else would you do given the situation?
gumshoe-type outfit
Visited Gold Finger Bar and Anchor Rainbow Port with my partner! I'll miss it dearly, it was such a fun experience.
visited the Ghost in the Shell exhibition. "hey, where did the life-sized Motoko Kusanagi figurine go?"
me walking out with a Motoko Kusanagi-shaped neck: idk
but this doesn't happen to the rest of the massive population, and that INSTANTLY means apathy. So they don't care, and they elected the guy who sent those soldiers as president
Apathetic is such a great word to describe the populace overall. My families were all targets and victims of the New Order in the 60s to 80s. My partner's grandmother talked about how she had to hide in the closet from soldiers to prevent being SA'd by them,
Sure, my mistake, I should have worded it better. I deleted it because people can misconstrue it and use it for completely irrelevant arguments. But don't act like they can be victims of anything in particular. You can ask the Filipino and Thai queer communities what they think, not just me
Races are people like Moluccans, Javanese, etc etc. I have nothing against them, and I love them. But Indonesia as an entity and as a nation I have a lot of problems with
Indonesians are not race, but nationality, and Indonesian nationalism is also a really really terrible thing I actively want to fight against
you dont need to give us that much grace if its evident, time and again, that our people and demographic has been consistently making queer people all across south east asia feel unsafe to be themselves
then I go talk to other people about how nice this place is, and then they tell me "oh this place has its own issues too that makes actually living in it actually kinda miserable!" and then I just come out of this thinking... well, the world's a terrible place to live in. makes you wanna eat a gun
So I'm like wow, this place actually cares even just a little bit about the people living in it. How nice!
and then I think about back home, and dude, if you can't walk or are visually impaired there, you don't even fucking THINK to go outside and cross any road unless you want to instantly become roadkill. Hell, that shit happened to me as a kid and I got serious brain damage because of it
