something is fucky here

@LukeAlmighty @tomie i know how you feel i sometimes wonder if it was designed this way...

@LukeAlmighty @tomie

@picandor @LukeAlmighty @tomie i also think that the majority of women are prettier than modern day video game female characters... if anything it's unrealistic when they look like rule 63 buzz lightyear.

@picandor @LukeAlmighty @tomie my favorite is when they say shit like "they don't like female game devs" and then they shit on characters and art that women made xD

@InvincibleSugar @qtkat the peek 😭

@Honeyshot what the fuck is this song? xD

@LukeAlmighty @tomie >2017 was 7 years ago

it's crazy how this just looks like a unity school project by today's standards. like, you could probably make this with unity store assets Dx

actually, now that i think about... given that disclaimer at the beginning of the port, i can't help but wonder if part of the reason it's stuck in development hell is because of DEI shit where they have had to go back and change so much because of "stereotypes." if they were going to stick to the first game and expand on it i can only imagine that certain special interests groups didn't like what they saw.

@picandor i think that obviously, you shouldn't let your kid have candy and ice cream for breakfast, but it is still important to tell them *why*. and in general, telling kids why things are the way they are in a way that you feel like they can understand is going to provide them with extremely useful tools going forward in life.

tacking on to that, it's also important to be there to catch your kids when they fall and give them help and guidance instead of punishing them. the things that could have gone differently for me and, by extension, others if i wasn't just grounded for a week the fourth time i'd fucked up in the same way.

i won't trauma dump too hard though lol. i think long story short is just that i've seen enough bad parenting and been victim to it and thought it through so much in my head that i feel like there's no way i could make those mistakes, and if i did i would feel so fucking bad about it i'd try to make it up to my kid in any way i could as soon as i could. idk if i'll ever have the opportunity to have kids, i hope i do, but in the meantime i've been doing my best to just try and be nice and understanding to the ones i know.

@picandor i didn't know that was actually a thing but i'll be damned if some of my friends don't have that. borderline impossible to get them to do anything they didn't already want to do to the point where they will just forget things they agreed to entirely. 100% due to the way they were raised too, and i saw it all happen in realtime.

@tomie i still remember when they tried to get the community to make textures for the second game (which is never coming out btw) and masked it as a contest. that must have been like a decade ago at this point.

@tomie i can only hope that one day i get the chance to end my generational cycle.

@picandor even as an adult i fucking hate "BECAUSE I SAID SO." that's a one way ticket to making your kid angry/resentful. there's a good reason for pretty much everything and i think you can dumb a lot of stuff down for younger kids to understand it. "why can't i have a candy bar?" shouldn't be answered with "because i said no" because it only teaches your kid to either 1) blindly comply with authority or 2) become a rebel. instead, you can say "well, candy tastes good but it isn't good to eat all the time" or "we have some candy at home" (i see that one a lot and it seems to work pretty well, assuming they actually have candy at home and the parent isn't just lying to keep them happy at the store). i feel like you can teach so much more lessons that way and actually get your kid to think on their own instead of just becoming an NPC.

i mean, you see adults doing it to other adults even. they don't really have a reason for what they believe they just think you should do it to and it's all about enforcing control at that point. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" "well why not?" "BECAUSE IT'S BAD" "well why is it bad?" "BECAUSE I SAID SO" "because you said so?" "YES NOW DON'T DO IT OR YOU'RE EVIL"

and, just like with adults, this isn't something that you can really switch to easily. if your kid is like 8 years old and you've been just telling them "because i said no" all the time, it's going to take a lot more work to deprogram that. when you get to adults it's even worse, where a lot of people need some traumatic event to happen to get them thinking in a different way (speaking from experience). i think it ends up in becoming a stronger person though.
