Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice had such a vivid portrayal of auditory and visual hallucinations and the psychological aspects thereof, as well as being rooted in genuinely spooky themes. Playing it in the dark with headphones was a truly psychologically scary experience and it didn’t really rely on jumpscares for the scary factor. ( which to me is a huge plus )
Maybe a slight tangent, but it drives me insane when I see/hear people do the following in scripted or written content.
The normal, very casual sentence structure could be “Chocolate cake, which I am quite partial to…” but they will flip it around, which is usually fine, but they do it in a way that doesn’t make sense with the words used. They’ll do something like “Chocolate cake, of which I am quite partial to”. (Where the correct rearrangement would be “to which I am quite partial”)
I know its nitpicky because I can still perfectly understand their meaning, but it feels like people do it because they want to sound smarter. And that’s fine! I just wish they’d go that tiny step further and learn how to properly use that method of sentence rearrangement! Drives me nuts.
That is all.
I can’t recommend enough that you read the sequel too! There’s even more but I haven’t read them yet. Its all just so good and cozy and yum.
I can never stop recommending The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.
Its some of the most beautiful, cozy writing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, all wrapped in queer and race allegory and science fiction splendour.
Please read it.
Guild Wars 2!
Looking at your post history, you make a tonne of posts but don’t engage with the comments seemingly at all. That isn’t in the spirit of this sort of platform.
I’m angry that it is still seen as “political” to believe that people who aren’t cisgender or heterosexual or white or male deserve to have rights and their needs met just as much as anyone else.

I also recommended zero dawn, it is masterful storytelling honestly.
I don’t know if any of these have native Linux versions all I know is that I played them on steamdeck with no issues:
Beacon Pines has a fucking great story and I loved it so much.
Horizon: Zero Dawn has a really cool thing going on where you’re experiencing a fully compelling story unfolding in the present day, but you’re also gathering up data logs and recordings that allow a story from the distant past to reveal itself at the same time. One of my favourite storytelling experiences in gaming.
Night in the Woods was just a joy. Made me miss friends and memories that I never had.
Citizen Sleeper is basically a fully fledged science fiction novel with gameplay elements attached. It takes inspiration from the excellent Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers and holy shit its just. Mm! Its cozy, its thrilling, it is beautiful, its lonely, its warm and welcoming. It has some similar elements to Disco Elysium’s gameplay.
To The Moon has the wonderful voice of Laura Shigihara on the soundtrack, and a story which brought me surprises and to the point of painful, beautiful, big girl tears.
Exit/Corners is actually a free flash game but don’t write it off. It’s an incredibly well crafted cast of characters and a story which will keep you on the edge of your seat. I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time.
No specific habit but I was really bad for routine stuff like getting my hair cut or going to the dentist for a checkup. i figured out that my problem was remembering (or, having the social energy when I do remember) to make these appointments.
I started just making the following appointment when I attend the current appointment. It takes all the work out of it, and I’ve been able to keep up a much more structured and healthy life since I started.
All my fellow neurodivergents who experience executive dysfunction, take note!
There’s no jubilation at “seeing a big game fail” there’s jubilation at seeing a game fail that is developed by a studio that is doing fucked up shit, or a game that is shovelling some fucked up agenda, or the like.
We dance on the graves of any game developed by Actiblizz, Ubisoft, EA, etc not because they are big games, but because they are developed by evil corporations.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!
Fediversary?
I think it may have been removed because it was a misrepresentation of fact.
In case you still want to understand, here’s a good place to start:
You said in your comment “they tend to have appearances” which in itsself alludes to the true fact that there’s some who won’t be “covered”. I was more upset by your dismissal of their experiences than I was by your game design suggestion.
I think you’ll find a good many intersex folk would have something to say about being “covered” by being entirely excluded by your arbitrary choice of categorisation.
Biological sex is far more complicated than small and large gametes. You can choose (somewhat arbitrarily) to define biological sex by one or more of
The only people who think biological sex is a simple categorisation are people who don’t fully understand the biology of sex.
But like, not everybody is born one of two biological sexes, so if we’re doing away with societal constructs we may as well get rid of this nebulous concept of a rigid biological sex binary.
Definitely seek professional support for your own feelings.
In the meantime however, are you doing what you can to support her through this? She’s, understandably, totally at capacity right now just trying to survive her own shit. Its possible that if you’re able to ease her burden, she might have enough mental capacity to recognise you and spend some of her mental energy on you. Or, worst case, she just suffers less.
