  • Im not trying to argue but I myself will take subpar representation over no representation at all. Yes, of course we deserve better, but thats also not the world we live in right now. So I myself will take what I can get. I’m not saying other people can’t have higher standards than me, but I will say that I personally would rather have flawed representation than none at all.

    Not talking specifically about trans representation here. But minority rep in general.

    As baby trans I can only assume the state of trans representation in general must be pretty dire though.



  • Most fictional revolutionaries arent wrong about the injustices they identify. The narrative has to make them behave outrageously because otherwise the audience might conclude that the revolutionary is simply correct.

    Doesnt matter whether its Megatron or Magneto or Killmonger etc.

    Revolutionaries are a threat to the neoliberal status quo and therefore can rarely be portrayed in a positive light.

    I just want stories to allow revolutionary characters to be noble without inevitably turning them into villains sadness





  • Im back into Galactic Civilizations 4. It’s a space 4X game, and I have about 20h in it. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it really nails that “one more turn” vibe. It also has nice music and the production values are generally pretty high. On the other hand, there is a lot of AI art in this game, which I think is a bit ridiculous for a larger production. (I can forgive it with smaller indie type games.)

    Overall, fun game, though I feel like games tend to really start to drag in the later phases. But that’s similar in many Civ style games…I guess.

    Edit: Also one of those games that REALLY makes use of your RAM if you have it and can support massive galaxies if you happen to have 64GB of RAM. If, for some reason, you wanna play games that last months.

    I myself am good with mid-sized or huge maps at most, though, since games already take quite a while. As a cool sidenote, the base game without DLC does come with like 20+ playable alien races, which is much more than most games of this type, so that’s pretty cool. They are also a bit more asymmetrical, though not as much as something like Endless Space 2, at least on the level of the leaders in Civ 6.
