UBON'S PROFILE

sleep don't pacify us until
daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
dizzy when we talk so fast
fields of numbers streamin' past

feudalism didn't necessarily 'make' people violent either, but abolishing it improved things nonetheless! when someone says a system is violent, and contributes to violence, it's possible that they aren't saying that system is literally the root of violence

'but human nature!' defenses of the abuses of capitalism are boring, though. ask three people what 'human nature' is and you'll get three different smarmy, firmly-held answers. human nature doesn't exist, except as an excuse to defend the bad decisions of the past.

yeah, like, I think it's important to establish that marginalized ppl asking for better representation in games is just as valid a source of market demand as someone banging his fists on the table and asking for bigger boobs in the game (if not moreso since representation is a totally harmless request and also is asking basically the minimum amount of human decency devs can manage)

but also the big important caveat is that discussing this in terms of 'the market does this so it's good' is kind of a kiss of death in itself because the ridiculous hype-cycle marketing of games is responsible for the creation of the toxic-ass insular-ass Gamer Identity in the first place

it would be very good to expunge the influence that marketing has had on the culture completely and move on to one that maybe, sometimes, is okay with people talking about things that make them uncomfortable without assuming that basic criticism is meant to censor or demonize the creator + their fans

I have absolutely no time for self-styled critics who uphold hype + marketing as some blameless law of nature

would dracula even like video games

dracula seems to like snoozing + quiet moments to himself mostly, most games would probably be way too loud and obnoxious

dracula might like twine games though

the mothman would make visual novels with huge immaculately-written dialogue branches because it's fascinated by communication

a bao a qu, who barely exists, would think up grandiose plans for games but never deliver, instead getting really interested in people making their own. also, that's me. I'm a bao a qu.

the chupacabra already made Sonic Dreams

what kind of game do you think the mothman would make

small hobbyist communities on the internet would be a great place for bored cryptids to hang out imo

it's working in your blood,
but you know it's not the same as love;
love is only in your mind
and not your heart
