My proudest gaming moment was that day where we were trying to fix our sleep schedule and tried to stay awake with friends in a discord group call by streaming movies, games and various other stuff, and at one point I was like "okay I'm gonna stream a Downwell run really quick but I'm sleep deprived and haven't played it in months so I might not get very far" then proceeded to decimate the game and finish a run FIRST TRY

@stackingstones@todon.nl I have seen a lot of those types, and it amazes me just how invisible their shit is to allies.

@stackingstones@todon.nl Culture of instant gratification, material aid takes effort, but dunking is practically free.

@stackingstones@todon.nl Yes, I have seen a lot of otherwise good people trapped in neoliberal mind-prisons of their own creation.

@stackingstones@todon.nl verbose, but it leaves little room for interpretation, I like that.

@stackingstones@todon.nl That would explain why I have been seeing it less often lately.

@stackingstones@todon.nl I like the ring of "liberate your mind!" being the mantra of letting go of colonial programming.

@stackingstones@todon.nl I still think it's important to define a term for re-evaluating a person's world view as if colonialism and the ideals it begat are not & should not be taken for granted.

Because colonialism does span every aspect of our current lives, including the way we see the world, model them, and solve problems.

But it's not the same as the practice of brutal land robbery, genocidal conquests and ongoing cultural erasure and displacement.

Fighting the two involves very different praxis.

uspol, pondering 

thinking about how we'll forget about the individual right-wingers and the hilarious self-owns, but not what they did and tried to do

like we've forgotten a lot of details about things that have happened in the past, but not that they happened

Good morning

PV did not shut down because of group infighting. Anyone saying that is trying to deflect away from the same spicy whites that have been the main problem for a year that have yet to deal w being what they are: Colorist and antiblack.

The same PV crew from before is still chillen together, just elsewhere.

reboost this, ta

re: Fedi Meta | Subtoot 

Honestly, it's so exhausting to hear how often anti-blackness crops up on the Fedi and is swept under the rug just because the perp is an instance admin.

Fedi Meta | Subtoot 

So, yeah, this person that my last subtoot was directed at? She called PlayVicious, a black-run instance that had been harassed off the Fedi, "a minstrel show"

Fucking yikes. Yeah, no, I don't think we can be friends, you're done.

@kat Like I've seen people come out of their shells and discover their true sexual/gender identity as a direct result of VRC. It's a beautiful thing.

my hot cyberpunk take is i don't think technology is bad

every cyberpunk thing is like "in the future everyone uses VR instead of being in the REAL WORLD, wake up sheeple" but here in 2021 the Real World is a soul sucking corporate hellscape and VR is a safe space with queer people finding each other and forming genuine friendships so idk

maybe technology is actually inherently cool and the part you should hate instead is capitalism turning it into a predatory shitfire
