"Those Who Walk Away From Omelas" is NOT a gacha
however,
"Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole" by Isabel J Kim is 100% a gacha
a photo of a television screen showing a man singing into a microphone on stage. The bottom third of the screen is taken up of a paragraph sized wall of text with nonsense onomatopoeia of a man scatting. and SHUMdededan dalumdaddededan da bomdadedeananbeomBOW ushidildi shidlidlidinddindidle DEE EE shumdudidiledudu dip dip debalanhuu! sheboDEE shidoDOO COME ON TRAMBONE...BAPaliddoodolidodoodilido bogodogo digadiga digadoognligadiga bapalidndoodinllga dililililidum dilililum DEE doogiedoogiedogabenadoogebanapotl ba ba deeldedeeldedeeldeanagoti PO PO PO PEE padum paudm OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE OOWEE POW
I'm watching a big band performance on youtube with a man singing, and there's no captions *at all* until the man started scatting, and suddenly this huge block of text shows up on screen all:
guy who does buddhism slightly wrong and ends up in nevada after he dies

Some of the earliest concept artwork for Infinite, from 'Sonic Forces'. Here they were attempting a ghostly or desolate form, without thinking of the kind of animal he was.

gundam fandom is wild. ill tweet "i think char should wreck amuro in the dijeh cockpit" and the first comment will be "man i love how the dijeh mixes elements of federation design like the vents with the classic zeon monoeye i never thought about it but you're totally right, the dijeh is basically a fusion of a high spec gm and a gelgoog
Being trans forces you to self-actualise in a way many people just don't. Once you've interrogated something so fundamental in yourself as your sex and gender, you start seeing yourself and your relationship to the world differently, and embracing yourself becomes much easier

I'm on medication, I worked with multiple specialists over the past couple years, I've trained myself to be patient and understanding with the way my brain works, but boy, that feeling of "I can't do anything right" really lingers.
I'm still working on it.
Undiagnosed ADHD is bad, but I think the most damaging part of it is spending an entire childhood feeling like a Bad Kid no matter how hard you try not to be.
You can't pay attention (you want to), you don't try hard enough (you want to), and you waste your time on useless stuff (you don't want to).

the 2023 movie is what i wanted to see in 1993, and the 1993 movie is what i would like to see now
Never settle.
this is really what it boils down to, right, is like. no matter what anyone in an executive position says, these companies do not care about the people who make their money for them. They don't. a hundred million people needed to play BF6 for it to be viable. That's bananas. That's fucking asinine.
CARNAGEMAN:IKE - Teaser
Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads: "Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."
happy international women's day
Said it before I’m very happy they understood how to write Sage post Frontiers
Casey Edwards ™M @ComposerCasey Follow ... NOTHING SPECIAL?! I think the phone call went more like "as you know Vergil is an extremely important and beloved character of this franchise. He needs a song to match." Me: **sweat nightmares and pulling my hair out for weeks** Kubilay @resonmon • May 29, 2021 @ComposerCasey Capcom: We need you to make another song for another character. It doesn't have to be anything special. Casey Edwards: Gotcha! Casey Edwards: Bury the Light
Every time I see those stupid “it’s just a silly game the song didn’t need to go that hard” memes I’m always reminded of Casey Edwards describing making Bury the Light for Devil May Cry 5
This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
my hot take regarding art about bad people is that you cannot make art that is morally upright enough that fascists will not co-opt it, and if you let that stop you from making art about villains, antiheroes, & fascists then you then remove art's ability to be a place where we can think about evil
one of the simple pleasures in life is saying 'wow it looks like silent hill out there' when it's really foggy

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

A friend of mine who runs these things always repeats something to me along the lines of "Playtests and Research isn't for telling you the right thing to do, it's to confirm to you that your assumptions are correct and that your intentions are getting through to the players" and that's stuck with me
It's fine, I just wasn't expecting him to be Chinese.
yuri about a piloting ace. she is the most anxious woman in the world and believes that every time she enters the mech she is going to fucking die. she is basically doing this image whenever she's flying. in contrast she keeps coming across rivals who say "I won't lose!!" and who keep losing to her
