"I can't follow TERF logic."

It's real simple. They arrived at the hatred first, and everything after that is a post-hoc justification for the disgust and loathing they have for us, so their logic is a shifting set of nonsense, grievances, fabrications, and conspiracy theories.
You ever hear mainstream TERF arguments when I came out? Absolute gobshite about how trans women are all murderers who metaphorically exorcise our mothers by transitioning, because apparently we all wanted to be our own mothers? It was absolutely unfathomable gibberish back then.
I've been out and transitioned over a decade ago now (wow, that's a long time) and all I've ever seen from TERFs is a consistent hatred and disgust. Their reasoning and arguments? That changes on a dime, they're seeing what sticks and just running with it.
What it all really comes down to? Hatred and revulsion.
I hate talking about this shit, so here's your chance to make it up to me, and retweet something I'm actually happy about:

I see a lot of criticism of the Steamdeck's specs, especially the 64GB storage on the base model, and I might say something controversial here, but... I think far too many people have bought into the myth of PC gamers being obsessed with the highest fidility and AAA performance. Image
I want you to take a look at the latest Steam Hardware survey, specifically GPUs: store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/video…

The most popular by far is the 1060 at nearly 10%, with the 1050ti close behind. My own graphics card, the 3070 is just slightly more than 1%.
The vast, VAST majority of steam users are playing in 1080p. Far more people are using 1440p than 4k.

The idea of the PC gamer who is always spending on the latest hardware and needs everything to run 120fps 4k? They're absolutely mythologized, most PC gamers don't care. At all.

The Steam Deck is gonna be a bit of a gamechanger for PC gaming.

For the past few years, I've had a little PC gaming handheld, the GPD Win 2, and I ended up using that so much more than I ever expected to. The fact I could just play my steam games that would sync saves anywhere? Image
This is my little beastie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPD_Win_2

I still use it constantly. Absolutely, one hundred percent phenomenal piece of kit, I love it and honestly it's just one of the best purchases I've ever made. I genuinely mean it was a gamechanger, a little indie gaming monster!
Steam Cloud means I could be playing a game on my desktop, fire up my little GPD and continue my save on that anywhere, and then continue on my desktop again? I play on the little dealie while I'm in bed, at the couch, on the train... on the... porcelain throne if you wanted?

I talk a big game about being kind, but I'll be honest...

Deep down, there's a part of me that is seething with anger. I'm furious about how so many of our governments have mishandled this pandemic, and put profit above human lives. There's a quiet rage that's got nowhere to go.
And I know that so many others are feeling that same anger and frustration, and I want you to know you're not alone, even if we're all isolated and having a hard time with a lack of human contact, some of you having lost friends and loved ones. That anger is just and valid.
We have, all of us, lost out on a year of our lives. Not just lost... Robbed. And I'm seething over it.

So if I'm talking about being kind to one another, I want you all to know, I'm not just trying to plaster over that anger with some nice platitudes. We owe it to each other.

I try and do my best with the platform that I have, but that doesn't mean reaching across the aisle and trying to deradicalize or otherwise convert right wingers, that's never been my focus and I don't think I ever will.
It still kinda messes with me that I'm considered by some folks a "big leftist" account, when all I really do is speak about my perspective as a trans woman while doing regular videosgame influencer stuff and talking about things I like. I'm not and haven't been an activist.
Being openly and unapologetically queer and trans while gaming, and making LGBT people expressly welcome in my spaces and community, that's more important to me than the potential to reach someone on the other side. Maybe that not much in the grand scheme of things, but I try.

A lot of indie developers are in a tough place right now, because it's entirely possible to do everything right and still have a commercial failure on your hands. There is no end of absolute indie gems coming out month after month and many are going to fall through the cracks.
From my own perspective as an avid indie fan over the past decade, it feels like we've gone from a situation where I could easily play all the notable indie titles out there; Bastion, Dust, Gunpoint, FTL, Mark it the Ninja, etc

It was easy to keep on top of and follow.
Now, however? It's a completely different kettle of fish, and even someone like me who plays a lot of games, I'm completely overwhelmed at the best of times. I'm genuinely not exaggerating when I say that even whole subgenres are feeling completely oversaturated.
