me: someday i think i'd wanna do a streaming thing to raise money for people but also i don't know what games could get me through the anxiety i'd have over such a thing
brain: marathon of rpgmaker titles all using stock resources
me: [standing up so fast i get lightheaded]
tbf tho there are also a lot of rpg maker games of various quality without stock resources i'd wanna go through. like Sweet Lily Dreams, which has an 00s passion project fantasy webcomic vibe to it that i genuinely love
there's also a bunch of "does not have and will probably never get an english release" ones i'm curious about. Tian Hong Bookstore, Yokai Mask, パトルの軍事博物館3 超絶無敵究極兵器, and The Prototype, for example
one i do plan to pick up eventually that does have an english translation is The World Is Your Weapon, based entirely on the strength of its title/premise that revolves entirely around that title
good stuff

seeing more replies to my climate thread that blew up and consistently getting struck by
1. people having no theory of power and
2. a weird kind of unspoken american exceptionalism that believes in this country we can solve everything The Right And Polite Way, unlike others
people suggesting nuclear and carbon taxes and all sorts of things and missing the point that comes before that: how the fuck do you get power to actually listen to and follow through on those ideas. like let's say you've got the Perfect Idea.
so what?
there's nothing that says people of power - billionaires, politicians - have to listen to. like nuclear - putting aside all debates on whether nuclear is safe and all that aside, let's say we discover a Completely Safe Nuclear. okay. now how do you get politicians to care?
i've said it a million times today in various discussions and i suspect i will keep saying it forever because people seem to have trouble grasping it: i do not think 'peaceful' and 'disruptive' actions for social change are opposed, i think they complement each other
all of school education on the civil rights movement and other things just tells you "oh yeah mlk was the good one and everyone else was bad" and like on top of whitewashing MLK it blocks you from considering "wait, what if these forces were actually working together"
peaceful protest works a hell of a lot better when power has the reasonable belief that peaceful protest isn't the only tool in your pocket is really it. it's so simple and somehow we just get our minds wrapped around so much bullshit it takes forever to grasp it
i don't think i'll ever get tired of that moody blue from intentionally switching the WB to the Incandescent setting for outside photos, especially here in my homestate. doubly so in winter
also reminder to self, i need to bust out my tele lens again sometime
i think a minor factor into full on 'we're completely fucked, why do anything' attitudes on climate change online is nobody, especially the scientists actually studying the subject, is allowed to say the actions that would help a lot w/o getting their account suspended
lot of "we can do these things to mitigate damage and build a healthier future, and we could also... you know...[tightens body, gestures vaguely]"
"we could do what"
"we could do - you know! the thing. the stuff. that stuff. you know. [gestures vaguely more]"
there's just something a bit demoralizing in having an answer and nobody being allowed to actually say it, especially in Official spaces, is all. that's what i think, anyway
other than the actual coding and writing first big thing is narrowing down what batch of games to do first lmao. think i might do first set of recs by trying to get a wide spread across eras/platforms, get people checking out everything from A Mind Forever Voyaging to Anatomy
after the first batch of recs uploaded i might do things focused on one genre or platform at a time, or alternate between the two. one week survival horror, another week all neo geo pocket games, and so on
