Mirak's Assorted Objects D'art

I'm going to show you two tracks i made for Bound (http://rpgmaker.net/games/8163/), the game i was the musician of in the McBacon Jam. Please click on the preview images to listen to them.



This is the track for the village the hero visits after being cursed. There are no monsters in the village, but the mood of the game isn't exactly happy sicne we were cursed by a former lover three minutes ago, so the track reflects that.



This is the track for the first dungeon you have to explore. A majestic, ancient temple. I named the track castle because the dungeon is more castle than temple.

Both tracks are loops. Because loops are what i mostly do. I can't even recall when was the last time i made a track that was not a loop.

Gosh Dang it - Crusty old books

author=Liberty
The only real way of knowing is if you talk to someone of African descent who has studied their own histories.
Or visited a library and consulted more books on the subject to confirm that fact.

I'd trust a book more than what teachers taught me at college though.

of games, representation, and women's cheekbones

@Kaliesto: A very long time ago I posed a similar case in another forum i visit and was pelted with stones for even daring to propose it, hopefully here i'll receive more calmed responses.

Say that you get into a relationship with someone, that someone never let's you know they are trans, so you make a mistaken assumption that the person, for example, is a woman (and not a trans woman) and engage in a relationship with that person, but then a time comes when you find out they are trans (for dramatic purposes let's say when you're about to have sex), and then drama happens. The lack of communication was a big issue here and if people had known what they were getting into then proper action could have been taken a long time before it got to that point, either by accepting the person regardless, or by politely turning them down if your preference lies elsewhere.

When posed by this scenario, people (who claim to be part of the trans community) in that forum then proceeded to aggresively* state that 1) You're transphobic for some reason if you turn the person down regardless of your preferences or likes, 2) When with a trans person, sex should be unnecesary (or preferably non-existent) and never a focal point of the relationship, 3) The fact that you were even surprised means you're a piece of shit, 4) They never had the obligation of letting you know they were trans because apparently that's hurtful, 5) It's your fault if you have a preference to be with a cisgendered person because you most likely haven't critically analized why you have that preference and you definitely have internalized issues that you need to sort out (in other words, you're not allowed to have preferences if you don't want to be transphobic).

Which to me was pretty unfair. Your preference is your own, nobody can force you to find anything attractive. And you don't have to explain/justify your sexual preferences to anyone. Whether they pertain to individuals or whole groups. The important thing it to not be an insensitive jerk when dealing with people who may be hurt by that disparity of preferences and goals.

* = Is this a thing? That people from certain groups can't have a discourse without going aggresive or defensive about it? Because holy crap were the responses i got loaded with lots of unnecesary hatred and bile.

But i dunno.

Video thread



At first i laughed, then i felt uncomfortable, then i laughed again.

What are you thinking about right now?

It's not something that happens often for me, i just take a nap, two hours later i wake up and everything is fine, but this time i slept for ten hours. I lost the entirety of the day and that is why i felt sad.

I don't think it has much to do with my age though.

What’s Your All-Time Favorite Chocolate Bar?

Mameys are super common here. Mamey icecream is like one of the basic flavors of ice cream. I don't like mamey though, i ate enough when i was a little kid.

What are you thinking about right now?

Has it happened to any of you that you take a small nap at 1pm and then wake up at 11pm feeling confused and lost and very very sad? Because that happened to me today.

McBacon Jam (2?) post mortem

To be honest i leave this jam with a bitter taste in my mouth, but i guess i cannot complaint at all since i was only the team's musician and therefore don't have the right to whine about us not submitting a game or demo in time. The bitterness is there though.

What’s Your All-Time Favorite Chocolate Bar?

I also love kinder chocolate products a lot. Kinder bueno in particular is delicious.
I heard you americans don't have kinder things (like the kinder surprise eggs), although i don't recall exactly why.

What’s Your All-Time Favorite Chocolate Bar?

I absolutely adore peanut butter, i think it's the greatest canadian creation.
It should be noted that peanut butter can be sweet or not.
