The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you
It looks like folks are getting excited about that supposed upcoming Psychonauts animated short, but it’s important to know that for one, it’s not an official project, and two, it’s made by a person who supports the use of AI models that use stolen artwork.
Double Fine is not working on anything Psychonauts-related at the moment. Anything upcoming is stuff that was already promised months ago–we’ll be getting plushies eventually as well as the artbook around Q3 or so. They are not working on DLC or shorts or anything of the like, so anything you see to that effect is either fake or unofficial.
Always check Double Fine’s social media for this kind of stuff. If they have new Psychonauts stuff to announce, they’ll be the first to announce it, not a random Tumblr blog.
I’ve seen the use of the “crazy sjw feminist” stereotype from gamergate days die down a little but one thing that remains ever present is the way fat activists are treated. Anything they say is dismissed and ridiculed, they have insults hurled at them with so much cruelty and disdain. The moment a fat person asks any group of people to change their worldview on fatness, it’s immediate insults and brick walls. This includes left leaning people. Everyone loves to gang up on fat people, it hasn’t changed a bit.
I find that left-leaning people almost always justify their fat bigotry in science-y terms (not actual science on fatness, which they never know anything about when questioned), and right-leaning people in terms of character traits they believe are associated with fatness.
To me, it’s all excuses to keep enjoying higher social status and apparent moral superiority for the non-act of existing in a thin(ner) body, or having lost weight. In other words, people are addicted to their thin privilege and are not about to let reason stand in the way of their enjoyment of said thin privilege.
god it feels like lately we have lost so much progress in terms of movies and tv and gaming actually remembering that people with photosensitivity conditions (epilepsy, migraine, etc) exist and that it’s SO FREAKING EASY to not include effects in your media that will send them straight to hell
we went from early 2000s “we are all petrified of another Pokémon Shock incident so let’s be nice to the people whose brains can’t handle the flashes” to “nearly every movie and tv show has a flashing lights warning crowdsourced on social media and games have been so emboldened to not give a fuck that we had a game with a literal seizure inducing machine built in”. I literally do not get to watch anything on launch day anymore unless I think it’s worth the extremely non zero chance of having up to a week of pain so bad it can make me faint.
