cannot begin to explain what a shock to the system seeing jeff load up fluid was. i had forgotten all about that thing even though i spent so much time with the demo as a kid, completely confused and transfixed. god, i feel like a part of my psyche has been unlocked, like fluid is the key to understanding my taste as an adult. it’s fucking weird, man.
@zoe3dblast: thanks. this is more concerning for sure.
that said, there are queer artists i see who seem to have relationships with porpentine who also have relationships with merrit and i wonder if that would be the case if there was ongoing animosity. i just see too many good people who support merrit to fully dismiss her. but perhaps that’s part of the problem?
anyway, i’m starting to feel incredibly icky playing internet sleuth in this manner so i reckon this’ll be the last i say.
Having looked into it more, are people really conflating old subtweets of Merrit’s with the sexual/power abuses of people like Alec Holowka and Matt Conn?
If you’re familiar with Merrit’s work at Fanbyte, a site that platforms queer writer after queer writer and is fundamentally a force for work and social equality, it’s unfathomable to me how y’all can attack her this way.
The tweets in question are unnecessary, petty even. But abuse? Not even close. Get some perspective, I beg you.
@dvorak: Feels dumb for multiplayer to require you go through the SP first.
It’s like how with Call of Duty where tons of folks don’t even look at the single player. People just want to play with their friends not wade through a 15hr campaign mode before they can do that.
@undeadkink: Right? Like, good on ‘em, they should be at a point where $700 is a reasonable amount. But that just ain’t me and I shouldn’t expect them to have the same relationship with money as I do.
