Hey hey, adult gaming questionnaire coming your way

I wanted to get an idea of certain trends and metrics in adult gaming which, to nobody's surprise, is hard to come by. As a game dev for adult games, what should we expect the customer...to expect? So I thought I'd make a quick little questionnaire to get people's feedback!

It's completely anonymous so don't worry about any private info being leaked. So please! Fill out this short survey (18+ only)!

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

Made the worst brownies ever created just now

#gigglestorm #food #dare I ask what the texture is like? the smell? the taste? #when I imagine what it's like to get this stuff outta the pan. #half of me thinks that it must crumble like loose soil. no structural integrity at all #the other half imagines that it has to come out in a single sheet. or be chiseled out. unyielding as stone

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.
