reading a strange book. the vorrh. kind of like a fantasy fever dream version of the heart of darkness? the author is a performance artist which I feel must say something. I keep wanting to say the prose is kind of try-hard but then it does something interesting and I’m like, hm, maybe not? viscerally physical in its descriptions but in an abstract way that makes it hard to tell exactly what’s happening a lot of the time. unexpected body horror (pleasantly surprised). determined to finish it but it would be nice for my current level of focus if it were just a tiny bit more interpretable. not a fast read.

The Weirdest Games You May Have Missed

Introduction:

In the vast and ever-expanding world of video games, where countless titles are released every year, it's easy to get lost in the sea of "normal" and mainstream titles. But let's face it, sometimes, normality is overrated. There's a peculiar charm in exploring the weird, the offbeat, and the downright bizarre games that often go overlooked. These games might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they are unforgettable experiences that deserve recognition. In this article, we'll delve into the world of the strangest and most noteworthy games, offering a "Fucked up rating" out of 10 for each based on their themes, reception, and general consensus.

The game's bizarre visuals, complex alien languages, and psychedelic landscapes make it a truly unique experience. Your goal is not just to survive but to decipher and interact with a myriad of strange extraterrestrial life forms. While it might not be for everyone, its unconventional approach to storytelling and communication is something to behold.

Weird Dreams (Fucked up rating: 9/10):

The game's dark narrative and moral dilemmas leave a lasting impact, and the voice acting adds an extra layer of unsettling realism to the experience.

Rule of Rose (Fucked up rating: 9/10):

Rule of Rose is a psychological horror game that delves deep into the disturbing relationships among a group of orphaned children in a mysterious, twisted orphanage.

I'm curious. what job would you do if money was no object (you just automatically had an income you could live comfortably on)? including work like volunteering, studying etc. please share in the tags :)

#taiko performance #game music production #game development #i mean i already do these but as a mostly-unpaid second job #i would also be able to actually practice instrument most of the day #would probably do some volunteering too since i would actually have time for it

okay follow up thought experiment. you wake up tomorrow with the other set of genitals of the one you were born with, and the hormonal profile, body, so on of someone of the opposite agab. nobody notices this change, everyone thinks this is how you've always been. you still have similar physical traits, eg if you're a 6'4" cis man, you'll still be a tall woman, but probably like 6 foot instead. eye color, hair color, general looks are the same. for like, a post transition trans woman you gain a uterus, ovaries, a vagina if you didn't already have one

#yeah and on top of that many people are getting stuck on the “no one thinks it was every different” bit #if we disregard that complication the answer is more or less “happy” though #but it also kind of depends on how much changes idk

[seventh--fonon]

other as in other than your agab, not other than your gender. so for eg a cis woman reading this the question is if you were amab would you be a trans woman do you think

#I said yes initially but maybe it’s actually no #it depends on various things #I often feel I have far more in common with trans women than other trans men but what does that mean exactly #and at any rate if I was “born male” all of my experiences would be different anyway #if I just swapped magically tomorrow I would probably be enbyish but who knows #gender

funny that I made a whole post about games and didn't even think about mentioning FFXIV. even though I play it like 10-15 hours per week and it is literally how I met one of my partners. but tbf it's kind of hard for me to ever call an MMO a 'favorite'. like you could probably make some kind of silly revealed preferences argument but at the end of the day for me a true favorite game probably needs to have like 2 or 3 of the following

irrevocably shaped who you are today (Xenosaga, P3, Tales, Ōkami, LoZ)

deeply compelling narrative/storytelling/world (Night in the Woods, The Last of Us, Disco Elysium, Shadow of the Colossus, FF9&10)

standout gameplay (Hyper Light Drifter, Journey, Gris, Celeste, Baba Is You)

whatever it is that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has going on (the It's Just Plain Good factor)

weird (Everhood, various RPGMaker games)

#I /would/ like to spend less time on ffxiv and more time replaying some of these or playing new games though... #**the examples in each category don't necessarily fall only in that category to be clear #also I can't believe I forgot to mention Ōkami earlier?? #video game recommendations #tales of #persona #final fantasy #mathewposting

whatre some of your favorite games?

oh man I totally missed this ask!

well from the fact that I just changed my URL again some people may be able to guess that one of them is Tales of the Abyss. Symphonia and Vesperia are my other favorite Tales games.

I would say the other most defining JRPGs for me are the Xenosaga Trilogy and Persona 3.

from my icon you can probably also guess that I am a fan of Hyper Light Drifter. I play mostly indie things these days but it's hard to pick favorites... Night in the Woods is definitely another top contender tho.

currently I'm playing Heaven's Vault (linguistics! sci-fi! archaeology!) and Disco Elysium (finally). nothing really needs to be said about the latter but I think the former isn't very well known and more people should play it!

I've never understood materialists' objections to compatibilism.

They're all like "It doesn't count as free will if you make a decision with your brain. It only counts if you make a decision with some magical soul that physics can't describe. If you disagree you're just being dumb and defining free will wrong."

"Yes, you made a decision, but physics was involved so it doesn't count." And they act like I'm the one with a weird definition of free will.

Your own chart says that 59% of philosophers are compatibilists and 11% are no-free-will materialists! You can't tell me I'm using words wrong when I'm in the majority! That's not how linguistics works!

I feel like if your argument is "free will doesn't exist because I defined it not to exist", you're the one twisting definitions, not me.

#yeah ​this was bothering me a lot for whatever reason #I don’t feel like I know enough or have enough of a leg to actually argue with people #(and wouldn’t want to deal with potentially abrasive responses anyway) #but something about that whole discussion just seemed to be missing the point / not engaging with what people actually mean
