Um, excuse me?! My disability also puts me at risk of taking prescribed medications, using a heating pad, and cuddling with my cats in bed a lot. Oh, and yeah, playing video games because other pastimes f-king hurt. Where did these "scientists" find evidence of all their negativity?

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

do i know any wheelchair users who would be up for answering a few q's about wheelchair user rep in comics? ideally this general kind of chair, tho if you use a different type and feel comfortable answering about this one, that works too! (bonus if you're also a cartoonist, but either way haha)

Okay, I've been wanting to say something about how I don't think art is for escapism (not in the way most people mean, i.e. "Art is for distracting me from the horrors for a while") but THIS? This I agree with. This feels like the antithesis to distraction.

“If history forgets this game, then fuck history.” I said that in my review of Nier: Automata back when it launched. Replaying it now, and it’s still so damn good. Important playing for anyone interested in using the medium of games to tell a story. History did well to remember it.

This was an interesting bit of research to put this blog post together. I always knew that the copyright status of Lovecraft's work was different than a lot of people claimed, but I never realized just how much fraud was involved in the claims.
