  • It’s basically entirely contained to a handful of neighborhoods here or there that normal people have zero fucking reason to go to anyways unless they live there.

    It basically doesn’t spill over at all anywhere anymore. So for all functional purposes it’s non-existent when compared to a few decades ago.


  • There’s still blood and Crip activity one city over from where I am in Cali. But it’s contained to like a tiny area that’s basically three gettos all butting up against each other.

    You would have to REALLY go out of your way to go there since there is fucking nothing but housing there.



  • Me and my mother will totally just call each other gay for doing gay shit. To be fair she is gay and I’m flamboyant as hell but very asexual. I don’t think it would be physically possible for either of us to actually insult the other. The roasting IS the family bond.

    My dad on the other hand would get a brick to face for even trying to say anything.

    Family can be weird yo




  • Communities before discord were forums. No fucking community was built around teamspeak or vent. They had them, but they were built around forums or the in game systems of various MMOs.

    MMOs use to be actual glorified IRC and chat rooms that just happened to have a game attached. That was the entire point.

    Forums were the bread and butter, that’s were you got the voice coms info.

    At best you have tiny friend groups that only hung out in a voice coms. But the actual community was NOT ts3 or vent


  • She has multiple journal entries about how she’s had mates in the past but since she’s a demi goddess thus being immortal less something kills her. She’s literally outlived all her mates.

    It fills in a lot of background why hornet is closed off to the world and overly pragmatic in speech while her actions are that of someone who clearly cares far far too much about those around her for the words she speaks to hold any weight.

    She’s a lonely person doomed to watch all those she loves and care for die over and over for eternity. While she does her best to close herself off to keep everyone at arms length and her interactions purely transactional.

    Yet she fails over and over. Becoming attached and making friends. Going above and beyond to risk life and claw to save those she tells to not risk themselves for she selfishly claims she simply wishes to see no more death. But in reality she just can’t handle the heart ache of watching people die so she helps those who risk themselves in their pursuit.

    Hornet is a sad somber character. A great look into the curse of immortality and the weight of responsibly that comes with it.


  • People generally get horny over knights in shining armor and princesses.

    Hornet is literally a princess knight. Hell she even has a white steed.

    She’s a bit of a tsundere on top of it.

    Hollow Knight is a very very cliche story of knights and kingdoms both the first and silksong. These sorts of stories are basically the foundation for a lot of peoples childhood fantasy stories.

    So you have a very well made classical knights and kingdoms fantasy story with well done classic renditions of the standard character tropes.

    Combine these two facts and you have a breeding group for people to become overly attached.

    There’s a good damn reason these settings and character tropes are classics!



  • Basically every indie game on steam is also just yours to own.

    Steam “drm” is entirely optional and can even just be turned off locally in any game more or less. Either just by throwing a simple txt file with the app id in the root folder or just removing the dll that hooks steams overlay into the game.

    Strictly speaking the only reason steam games need steam to run at all is because the dll is hooking into steam cloud/overlay and community services. Hench why games “fail” to launch if steam isn’t on. The dll is unable to load the overlay so it crashes, your missing dependencies.

    If you don’t need or want them they are optional tho with the simple removal of the dll or appid txt file.

    Seriously you can just remove the steam API dll from silksong and it runs entirely locally. Same with RimWorld, factario, terraria, cave of qud, etc.

    Steam IS a drm free platform by default. The mandatory requirement is opt in for devs.

    I only point this out cause for some fucking reason this once common knowledge has been lost to time. And for some reason everyone thinks steam doesn’t allow you to play your games with out it.

    Itchi and gog are great stores but they don’t have everything. And people shouldn’t feel limited because of nonsense like lack of knowledge of their options.

    I play women in MMOs because they get all the good outfits and if I’m going to spend money I want something pretty to look at.

    Men get fuck and all in the way of good outfits basically in every game ever. :/

    Can we have pretty cloths for the men please game devs?




  • If your option is tell the truth or be a “bummer” then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.

    Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.

    It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a “bummer”.
