#space invaders get even

all hate to tiktok for taking 'having a space to more openly and actively talk about different cultures' to mean 'cultures are NOT to be shared and we must be vigilantly defensive of our cultures for fear of appropriation, a word that can be applied to any multicultural interaction'. like of course cultural appropriation is a very real problem but ive seen with the access to global multicultural conversation that tiktok provides it's made people TERRIFIED to even interact with cultures other than their own for fear of 'doing it wrong'. like at some point you have to acknowledge that in the real world of the great outdoors, the majority of people are eager to SHARE their cultures. yes there are ignorant questions and biases but also... how do you think those things get unlearnt? i dont understand how deciding that multiculturalism is an elephant in the room instead of a normal thing that should just be talked about and lived with is supposed to benefit anyone? and kids on tiktok are CONVINCED that it's a time bomb of a conversation to have and therefore must be avoided at all costs but like. people generally LOVE their home and their culture and are PROUD of it and want to share it. how have we made it so that showing genuine interest and a desire to understand something so integral to a person's identity is now feared and borderline demonised?
#thinking about this a lot lately. thinking about how fun it was comparing cultural differences in america#thinking of how when i was homesick one thing i found a great comfort in was talking about my home#and how it differed and i really loved and appreciated it when people would ask me about england#in a way that they genuinely just wanted to learn about it and not to take the piss#thinking about how the kitchen at work has chefs from all over europe. we have an irish chef and a spanish chef and an italian chef#and one of the kps is from eastern europe (i havent actually been able to find out where yet) etc and the way they banter with each other#like usually chefs are Problematic bc their humour is VERY abrasive and usually offensive#but this is one instance where it's actually to their benefit bc they're so unafraid to ADDRESS THE FACT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURES#i feel like the tiktok gen are so petrified of even acknowledging other cultures let alone discussing them#that it's actually sending the conversation backwards. like how does hoarding your culture and pretending it's not there benefit anyone#LET ALONE YOU AND THE CULTURE IN QUESTION. idk it just baffles me a bit that something that started as people on tiktok#genuinely spreading information and talking about the BAD side of this where people DO culturally appropriate or invade spaces that arent#theirs has now become 'for fear of speaking bad about it we will not speak about it at all'. and they'll crucify you if you do. like what#even at uni my best mate is indian and she's too scared to join the sikh society on her own so i regularly go to the events with her#and im typically one of the handful (or the only) white non-sikh there and i get SO welcomed each time#like there's such a genuine excitement to share the culture with someone who is effectively a blank slate#and like yeah ill ask 'dumb' questions or i'll have different experiences (tried a samosa for the first time at one of these events#and the moment that info got out i had like five STRANGERS trying to give me different samosas to try and it was genuinely such#a laugh bc yes they were TEASING me bc 'how have you never had one' but they were also really eager to share MORE as a result)#ugh idk what im saying. i just think it's a shame to watch this happen in real time on the internet#when if people would just go outside and actually TALK to people from other cultures they'd realise 9 times out of 10 the interactions#are actually really really nice for BOTH parties. and actually refusing to talk about this stuff is long-term pretty fucking detrimental#and it also goes the other way!!! like imagine if i - citizen of colonisation motherland herself - didn't interact with other cultures#and didnt ask questions or hear their opinions on whatever shared history we have from THEIR POINT OF VIEW#imagine the kind of shit id be internalising bc i only hung out with other white british people. it wouldnt matter if i was doing it#to be woke or 'respect their culture'. it would still be fucking ignorant. like half my interactions with other cultures#see me as the butt of the joke bc of this like aforementioned irish chef at work VOCALLY slates the english all the time#but it's done in an environment where we're FRIENDS and it's poking fun at each other while still addressing a very serious history. like??#idk if any of this is worded in a way that makes sense but yeah. i have thoughts#cant believe i got inspired to make an actually serious post bc of the CHEFS AT WORK. embarrassing. no one let them see this

Thinking every character would be into older men is a weird ass assumption to make actually,especially when the characters in question aren't even adults

I can fix him*
*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers
#ra speaks#personal#sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding#should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts#also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists’ but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever#seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next#but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T

and while I’m at it, I’m begging you people to understand that when baeddels say “transmasc” and “cafabs” they mean all afab trans people.
multigender, abinary, atrinary, and female-aligned afab trans people are implicated under “cafabs” and “transmasc” in baeddel posts just as much as actual transmascs and trans men are.
and, quite frankly, 9 times out of 10, “trans men” and “tbros” also include non-men in baeddel posts.
baeddels don’t care about how we identify. we reject womanhood to various degrees, and as far as baeddels are concerned, that makes us all men.

the thing is when you are learning to make games in a professional capacity you are constantly getting told to scop down, scope down, do less nope make that smaller, bring it down some more, do less
and this isn't in a punching down and stamping on your ~creativity~ kinda way, this is just a 'be realistic about the amount of work you can achieve in the time you have' and 'work smarter not harder' kinda way. Also you should scope down to the most simplest mechanic you can when you're learning how to make stuff.

Season 2 is the most underappreciated Clone Wars season no one gives it credit cause they didn’t give the show a chance until season 3 and they don’t wanna admit they were wrong about the first two seasons but season 2 is literally so fucking sexy from start to finish
#like first of all it's one of the few seasons where every episode is at LEAST mid tier#and then there's the fact that most of the episodes are based on different movie genres#like holocron heist is a heist movie senate spy is a political thriller#landing at point rain and weapons factory are a war movie#legacy of terror and brain invaders are a horror movie#lightsaber lost is a detective movie#senate murders is a murder mystery#cat and mouse is a submarine movie just with a space ship instead of a submarine#bounty hunters is just straight up seven samurai#and of course the zillo beast duology is a monster movie#like it's the only season that sticks to a consistent theme like this and that makes it really unique#and as much as people like to credit season 3 as the point where the animation improves i think season 2 deserves that credit#landing at point rain ALONE made several leaps forward for the show's animation#it's the first time we see the characters get really dirty and beat up#it's the first time they use the flamethrower effect#there's like an 8 second tracking shot at one point#and it's the first time we get like a really massive and chaotic battle in the show#there's always so much happening on screen at any given point in that episode it's insane#and that's not even getting into shit like the zero gravity scene in cargo of doom#or just how massive in scale the zillo beast episodes are#or the exploding droid factory in weapons factory which is also a great sound design moment#season 2 set the stage for the greatness that is season 3-onward and i will not let you nerds ignore it#in this house we respect the first two seasons or die#star wars the clone wars#star wars#shut up tristan

me: break time! also me, moments later: OK BUT! when is someone going to take it upon themselves to lay in his lap when he's sitting on his sofa in his study (it doesnt matter what he was doing before or if he grumps at all about it) and let him idly play with their hair

I think. That if you live with people. Especially people who cannot close the door at night (bc the cat needs to be able to access her litter box and water) and you NEED NEED NEED WILL DIIIIIE WITHOOOOOUT the tv playing in the LIVING ROOM to help you go to sleep. Well I think you should just go without. Or put on some fucking headphones attached to your laptop. You asshole

Just got hit with the sudden realization that my birthday is in two weeks and I'll most likely not have that day off bc my boss is a stuck-up homophobic abelist who only cares about himself and is slowly killing the business and employee moral just by being there.
