if u are a sensitive boy with long hair or maybe an oddly desensitized boy with short hair and feel some gnawing yearning deep inside urself from a place u don't understand, or maybe u don't feel anything at all besides an implacable pain, or maybe u don't even feel the pain and it's just a sheet of noise and numbness, and u have been waiting for a sign, this is it. it's time to start smoking cigarettes. rolling your own is way cheaper than prefabs, filters are a scam that's just fiberglass. but u can smoke fiberglass if u want. i love you.

tv shows used to have episodes....

sometimes more than six even...

sometimes more than TWENTY. it was MADNESS!!! we didn't know what riches flowed through our fingers

when a mutual unfollows me but i keep following them i bet it feels like this to see me in the notes

on a break!

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

ideally people would use some critical thinking and talk with their wallets by simply Not Buying It but at the end of the day emotionally immature and financially irresponsible morons are still gonna buy it day one because "buhubbuhh but maro look so good ......"

i really really dont understand the outrage like things have gone up in price due to inflation yeah im sorry but the whole reaction from people just seems treatlerite

if it was inflation, why havent wages gone up? if it was inflation, why aren't all game publishers releasing their games at that price? baldurs gate and black myth: wukong released at 70, but they've both been lowered to 60. helldivers was and is still 40 dollars.

theyre not gonna send you games, you dont have to defend them

It's not about defending them its about people being irrationally angry at them. Alot of us are too young to remember the fact that 60 dollars used to be very expensive when games first started being priced that way, it's just been the standard for so long that people eventually earned enough for it be more accessible.

The actual problem is that we are living in times of need where everything is overpriced and we are underpaid, every economy is suffering and the value of money is rapidly being lowered. While I can't promise that 70 dollars will eventually be as accessible as 60 dollars was (we could end up in a dystopia where buying anything is impossible without working outrageous hours) trends seem to imply we will be able too.

Honestly, I get the gut reaction to rage at Nintendo for raising their prices since most people see them as the "little kids good guy game maker company", but they aren't. They're a normal company who while taking their craft very seriously and with a level of devotion most other triple a developers aren't, still need to meet profit margins, pay their workers fairly, and please shareholders. And their target demographic isn't just kids or families anymore, actually hardcore(tm) gamers are now who they also market too. Which means making hardcore(tm) and super good looking games to please that crowd, but that's expensive, and due to the costs of selling outside their home country they have to up the price.

I know this is a long post and most people won't care, they'll just be mad about stuff they likley weren't planning to actually buy at all. But I felt the need to make it since there's alot of context people just don't consider or don't know about. I don't have the money to drop on the ns2 or it's 70 and 80 dollar games, and at least for this first half year I'm not super interested in buying it (since the only game I'm kind of interestedd in is Mario kart but that's something you need friends to really get mileage out of), but I do think these prices are justified, even if I can't comfortably afford them.

"irrationally angry" who is irrationally angry here? we're saying the prices are outrageous and we're not going to buy them, how is that irrational?

again, how are these prices justified if no other company has priced their games like this? ive already mentioned two games that dropped their 70 dollar price tag, and i only mention the ones that come to mind bc theres still a ton of other games that release at 60 or lower.

stop trying to justify greedy behavior in AAA gaming. it's not doing anything for anyone. nobody is treating nintendo like they expected "good guy" behavior from them- people were already pissed at them charging 70 for games, even more pissed at them charging 60 dollars for remasters/rereleases of games. you people are so weird coming to Nintendo's defense- and you ARE defending them even if you type the words "its not about defending them." wages havent gone up, cost of living has continued to skyrocket. i dont know where you get your information from, if you indeed got it from somewhere and didnt just make it up, but what "trends" show a precedence for this? god you're annoying

For some of us it's not about defending them

I don't tolerate greedy business practices but I don't have a choice

I can either stick with Nintendo and buy their overpriced games, or switch to Sony and Xbox and buy their overpriced games. If I don't then my hobby is DEAD.

"Oh but you can play PC games-"

Can I though?? Most good PC games today require really good PCs to run. Then there's the ones that have over a thousand dollars in DLC. Indie games are nice, because they're always very fairly priced...but it's extremely difficult to discover new indie games and some of them just aren't that good.

"Oh but you can pirate-"

NO. I CAN'T. Because Nintendo is going to take down every single new emulator that pops up! And the ones that do exist I couldn't even get to work.

I'm not defending Nintendo's greedy ass behavior... I'm defending MY EXISTENCE. I'm an autistic adult who's been so positively affected by Nintendo games. Games that got me through the hardest of times, the deepest of depressions. These games have literally changed my life for the better. And people expect me to give all of that up? People expect me to boycott something that brings me insurmountable joy and stability, something that keeps me going every day, gives me something to look forward to, something that shines a bright light in the silent darkness that is having to deal with all my problems.

Nintendo is greedy. Yes. And it sucks. But so is LITERALLY everyone else except for *most* indie developers. But I just don't care anymore.

You can call me and others like me selfish if you want. I won't argue against it. But we live in a shitty world right now and the one thing that brings me joy in it is playing fucking Mario.

And I just want to be happy without someone yapping in my ear about greed and corporate bullshit.

god youre annoying

April spendings

hi everybody i'm here to again to do what isn't really a commissions post, but i'll need to do anyway. a new month is starting which means i have new spendings to take care of. i'm feeling really low energy and no mental spoons to draw, and because of that i had to refund a commission (it's totally on me). but because i can't draw right now i can't do anything but just ask for money

for now i want to get at least the minimum neccessary to cover up the refund i had to do ($45) and the cost for my college fee ($37) that i'll have to have pay on the 4th of April (very soon) so any help at all is appreciated

here's my ko-fi and thank you again in advance for any help

ok ok rearranging my goals because i just realized i have huge amounts of credit card debt to pay off

i already got the $37 for my college tuition (thank you so much!) but combining the $45 to cover up the refund plus my credit card debt i need at least $90 USD dollars.

i'm really so so sorry that it is a lot to ask but i have no other options. i'll have the PWYW doodle requests open again once i'm done with the ones i have

$0/$90

evolution dysphoria

Having community helps

Close! Its an Eevee who dresses as all the types that don't have eeveelutions, I sorta created them as a way to express having very atypical body dysphoria, which I myself have.

oh are we making aromantic trend? hell yeah reblog if you're aromantic or if you want to beat everyone who says 'you'll find someone eventually' to death with hammers. in solidarity.

Sometimes you have to bully your loved ones a little. One time I was venting to my sister about feeling unwanted and I used a metaphor about a house fire and she said “OK riddler” and I realized I was wearing a green coat and glasses and now whenever I get a grimdark angst spiral that’s all I can think about. OK riddler

Amidst the rubble and under a sky raining fire, we try to cling to life, but death surrounds us from every direction. No sound is louder than the sound of destruction, and no light is seen except the flames. We run in search of shelter, but we find only fear accompanying us, and hunger gnaws at our hearts before our bodies. Hope has become a deception, salvation a mirage, and every attempt at escape ends in a new cycle of pain.

We are here amidst the ruins of our dreams, carrying pain greater than our lives. What fate awaits me and my family? Will we ever be martyrs, or will we grow? The tree of freedom rings church bells and the takbir is raised in the mosques with the joy of the tree of freedom that has grown over the bodies of martyrs: children, women, and the elderly. Where is humanity, O people of all sects and religions? We await your cry to stop the killing and bloodshed. My family needs your support, and every person in Gaza needs your continued support.Please help me by donating or participating.

All of this, but if you'll all indulge me, I just want to spell it out again a bit differently, because I think it's important: once you start thinking of "good" and "bad" as teams you belong to, not only do you become blind to the evil you perpetuate, but you start thinking of evil as good. Using the example above, is racism bad? Most people, I hope, would say yes. But when you think of good and bad as teams you're assigned to, rather than things anyone can do, it doesn't matter whether racism is good or bad, it only matters which team is doing it. If you're on the "good" team, then you can be as racist as you like, as long as you're being racist to the people on the "bad" team. Rather than racism being something that's always wrong, no matter what, now you've created a class of acceptable targets that you can get away with being racist to, because you're on the "good" team and they're not. This can happen with anything, not just racism. Fatphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism...anything.
