Every time I see one of those "you will never be a woman" posts, I have an urge to say "and you'll never be a man".
Sorry, but do you really think the way you bitch about this makes you manly? News flash: it doesn't.
Sure, it's impossible for a trans-woman to become a female. That's a no brainer. But the way you go about it to bitch and whine makes you look as emotional and irrational as a woman on her period or maybe a child. In either case, definitely not a man.
Today, for the first time, I gave a bullet hell game a proper try: Tyrian 2000.
It's an ancient game, that I got on GOG for free at some point (still free now). I know I've heard somewhere that it's an easy, or rather forgiving, game for it's genre, so the name stuck in my memory as a "if I ever want to actually try bullet hells, this has to be the game to try". So today I did.
I'm playing on normal difficulty (although I could have sworn I've chosen easy), and I'm rather rubbish (I regularly barely destroy over 50% of the stuff in a mission), but you know what, I'm having fun, and that's all I care about.
The game gives you a whole lot of weapons and upgrades to choose from for your ship, that are freely interchangeable at any time, so I'm sure there's something for whatever you prefer in your bullet hell game. It has a local 2-player mode (both players share the same screen). It has 3 levels of difficulties unlocked at start + a "timed battle" mode. Runs via Dosbox with no issues. Oh, and it even recognized my gamepad with no config necessary. Don't know how it managed that but it did (I'm guessing Dosbox did some magic, haven't used it before). Right now I'm playing with my mouse though. Let me know what the "approved" control scheme for a bullet hell game is.
I've generally avoided bullet hell games like the plague, cause I can get information overload when there's just too much going on, and I just can't process things in time. But Tyrian is forgiving enough that I can enjoy it just fine, without worrying that I'm not perfect.
Long story short, if like me you avoided bullet hell games cause they're too hard for you, give Tyrian 2000 a chance. Maybe you'll get some enjoyment out of this genre of games.
current thing
@emilis @sampo kinda the problem is that cancel culture is hard channeling the worst elements of humanity (mob justice, irrational response with no interest in investigations or is actively hostile to investigation, fascistic us vs them to the extreme) which is totally fine for the people in charge of everything right now but is actually kind of a huge problem overall
they’re not even being put on a show trial for things they did they’re literally being punished for stuff that looks extremely false flaggy.
we’re intended to believe that 1) they hate transexuals, yet 2) they tried to get the police to murder a congresscritter that is supposed to also be anti-trans, based on … some anonymous phone call that could have been anyone. that makes no sense considering MTG agrees with what we’re supposed to understand KF’s politics are. i could literally do a bomb threat right now from a pay phone and just say i’m from puff place. wouldn’t mean shit.
then while actively encouraged to find an excuse to go after the site, they happen to exactly find one within a 20 minute window that it was available. from an account that has virtually zero activity on the site other than posting the perfectly gift wrapped threat they screenshot just in time to claim the forum was escalating violence.
by the way it’s not the first time; the same people did that to 8chan. “suddenly” a schizopost appears, is deleted by mods within the hour, but all the relevant authorities miraculously got copies of it and did their little dances about how this one particular gift wrapped event was all the proof they needed
it’s literally the same fucking playbook over and over again.
an incredibly cynical person might ask why if these places are so intolerably bad they can’t be properly brought up on harassment charges for things they did do and have to be star chambered using literally the thinnest possible evidence anyone could fabricate half asleep ![]()
