The Musings Of The Consensus

Most of my recent upgrades have been user interface related, mostly overhauling the menus to give far more useful information, and look much better, as the originals were very bland. This includes even greater support for much better looking graphics like bust images, and thanks to the hard work of Allusion, I now have a full set of emote busts for Mara now! Unfortunately, this has led to a bit of regression, since adding some advanced scripting for party guests has resulted in forcing me to toss the FFIX aliged menus and front-back row system, so I'll have to come up with an alternate means that works in the stock UI with the standard alignment. On the other hand, I now have fixed some issues with the class change system, which will see little or no use in DQ1 Remake but is added for future proofing. Unfortunately, the stock RM VX Ace engine is very, very poor at avoiding database issues with class changes, lacking a lot of sanity checks for learned skills, exp levels, stats

Someone who is pro-Social Justice gave me a critique of my opinions and statements here: https://d4rkst4r.miraheze.org/wiki/GethN7 http://imgur.com/oGw0n6Z For the record, I have no issue with this. In fact, while I disagree with their conclusions, I welcome their opinion, for which they are duly entitled. I even took the liberty of replying here: https://d4rkst4r.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:GethN7 http://imgur.com/25rBNjq Again, I decided to respond politely and make clear anything that is my stance, just to be sure they can have my word on the matter in as disspassionate a manner as possible, as my blog is, as admitted, where I do a lot of venting, and while much of that I believe and adhere to in calmer circumstances, I hope my clarification serves to clearly define what should be taken as angry invective and sincere belief. Also, my purpose in posting this is to praise this user for being so forthright. While I disagree with their opinion of me and my views, I do not wan

It isn't even 2016 yet and Nate Spidgewood, batshit loony that he is, decided to send me more incoherent emails promising death and bodily harm, again, completely unprovoked. His in bold, mine in regular font. --------------- I HOPE YOU BURN IN A HOLE FOR READING THAT FUCKING ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA ARTICLE ABOUT ME, YOU FANBOY FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! D:< Nate, I might just sign up there just to add your lulzy comments. Seriously, grow the hell up. SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE FOR CALLING MY COMMENTS "LULZY" TELLING ME TO "GROW UP" WHEN I ALREADY AM) Thanks for the added material, it'll look great in the quotes section of the article. DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT FUCKING ARTICLE IS WHAT GOT MY FURAFFINITY, CLG WIKI A

With the Christmas holidays over, I've decided to get back to further working on my updated game engine, and the changes so far have led to the following decisions: * Player characters will have a full range of emote busts, not just mere facesets. Major characters will likely remain with just facesets, barring exceptions where I have a full set of bust graphics on hand for them, but at the least, all playable characters will have waist up bust portraits. To that end, a few characters are getting a minor makeover to accommodate the new bust graphics, especially Sarah, but they shall otherwise have no other major cosmetic changes. Note; I plan to make use of some slightly altered artwork by Archeia for some of the new character art, who is far more talented than myself, and whose art has already vastly improved my game so far, and I plan to further display her talent because she's an excellent artist and I feel her work does my own honor. * When it comes to coding, I'

I'm still making great progress on revamping my DQ1 game engine, so much so I decided it would be better to pour all my energies into that then release another beta on the existing engine, so a new game beta will be delayed. However, this is not a bad thing by any means, since my new engine has several more features now: Face/Bust Options: RPG Maker can show "face" graphics for characters, where you just see a face in the text box of conversation by default, and now, I can show "busts", or waist up portraits of the characters above the text window. Since using all faces or busts would be exhausting and tedious (not to mention would be difficult to track down images for one or the other in some cases), I have made it to where I can use either option, though my plan is to remain consistent with one style or another for the most part. Enemy HP Bars: I had more than one solution for this at my disposal already, but I had issues with the bars bleeding into each

Due to the holidays and a lot of other matters on my plate, I still have plans of releasing an updated beta of my game with some new features, though I may put it off until sometime after the new year. Some of these items include some custom commissioned artwork by Fumirei and music commissioned for the League of Gamers website which I graciously received joint permission from Mark Kern and Jared Burrell to use in a limited capacity for a custom credits scene, as well as some gameplay and world updates. However, the reasons I am considering belaying that until I have my new engine finished are because, while the new engine is far from complete and still in alpha, it already has made far less mistakes than my old engine, eliminated a lot of monkeypatched issues the old one had, and brings a lot more features to the table. An overview of the features of the new engine: FF9 styled "Rows" - In Final Fantasy IX, characters in the back row took less damage yet did less damage

Is there a full moon out? Am I the only ex-member of TV Tropes who HASN'T turned into a massive crybaby faggot who thinks they are owed the world? I mean, come on, I recently read about that pedophile internet tough guy Harold Hall on the Kiwi Farms. I myself have had to deal with the deranged madness that is Gabe "Moleman9000" Navarro's drama generation and rants about cyberbullies, and recently, Nate Spidgewood (go read his ED page, it's hilarious) sent me death threats. Yes, completely out of the blue, for reasons I cannot comprehend, he decided he had nothing better to do one day than to send me death threats Below is our emails (His in bold, mine in regular font) ------ I'LL FUCKING *KILL* YOU FOR THIS, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! D:< YOU CAN BURN IN A HOLE FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME, YOU EVIL, NAZIIST BASTARD WHO SUPPORTS WIKIPEDIA FOR RUINING TV TROPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those not aware, I've recently gotten a lot of crap from some imbecile named "Moleman9000/ResonX", real name Gabe Navarro. He's a Hispanic guy who draws some really tacky art, writes a fanfic universe called the Nava-Verse, and is prone to spewing drama wherever he goes. And I just happened to to be the latest SOB caught in the crossfire of this autist. Before I go on, I have autism too, but thing is, I doubt this guy got the therapy and proper raising I did to help me cope, learn what is socially acceptable and channel the single minded devotion autism tends to grant those with it into useful areas. Instead, he spends it acting like an entitled jackass starting crap, screaming about cyberbullies, and trying to drag people who don't give a damn into his drama. You want to know more, read up on him at the Kiwi Farms. Recently, he gave me grief because some people he didn't like wrote some criticism about his series on All The Tropes Wikia, and after

I'm afraid I have some bad news: I still plan to release an updated beta by this Christmas with new content, especially for the League For Gamers and the Kiwi Farms, both sites which I promised would have in universe material dedicated to them, but I will probably have to do so in a greatly reduced form, unless further problems force me to not be able to do this. The reason is simple: RPG Maker MV is hideously unstable for my needs and will not port over my work (maps especially due to the map size limits) very well, and given how buggy it is, I have elected to remain with using VX Ace for any sequels for the time being. Another reason is since I wanted to use the engine I have now for any successive projects given the first point, and that means the engine in it's current state is off the table, being a programming golem with mismatched body parts held together with a lot of inflexible scripting code I desperately want to optimize, since the current version

I am currently working on the Dragon Quest 1 Remake 1.9 Beta, plan to release it by Christmas. I may or may not be able to have it completed all the way to the normal ending, currently commissioning some artwork so I can, depends on how soon I get it. I can, however, promise the following: 1. A bank/storage system will be added. 2. More content will be added, such as the mega casino in the Great Bazaar and a few more dungeons. There will be some added puzzles as well. 3. The next release will be a present for both the League For Gamers (and Mark Kern especially, you rock!) and the Kiwi Farms , whose hilarious (and quite informative) lolcow threads, especially the one on Brianna Wu I avidly read, and references to prominent members of both will be included, the former in gratitude to the charity and camaraderie Mark's community's has provided for gamers like myself, and the latter for providing a ton of laughs and object lessons of people who just couldn't resist

For the record, I'm pro-GamerGate, but there are some things said about anti-GamerGaters (or, as they prefer, those opposed to GamerGate) that are not true and need to not be repeated since, to date, there is no evidence WHATSOEVER to validate the claims. First off, ARTHUR CHU HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE INCITED BOMB THREATS. Fine, he made a cryptic Tweet about "It's ends tonight" and later that day a bomb threat happened, but correlation does not equate causation. No one deserves to be accused of a crime without actual proof of their guilt, and there is nothing that anyone could bring before a court of law that would implicate him in such acts. I don't agree with many things he says, but I won't smear his name with false charges, and neither should anyone else. Second, THERE IS NO PROOF RANDI HARPER EVER SOLD HER OWN CHILD FOR METH. Seriously, NONE. Even Milo in that series of Breitbart exposes was never able to prove that, and despite all the stu

For those who are convinced GamerGaters are evil incarnate, I pose a challenge to you, and since you all tend to be fond of civil rights advocacy, I shall frame it in those terms. The Civil Right Movement of the 1960s advocated a strategy that would expose once and for all who the real bigots and hateful people were. Blacks would passively resist and ignore to the best of their ability all the hate slung their way, but they would not try to prevent it. Rather, they made a point of letting the other side spew as much bile and venom as loudly and as much as they wanted. The point was simple: They wanted the world to know who was the evil ones by letting the world see what true hate looked like until the world's stomach turned and did something about it. And it worked, with the last shreds of de jure segregation utterly discredited. In regards to GamerGate, you see all of us as the real bigots, the hateful ones, the true source of evil. Fine, so be it. However, why are you t

Recently, Orain.org was sadly compromised by a hacker and was basically killed with fire. Encyclopedia Dramatica, per their usual custom, decided to piss on its corpse. They even dug up one of my angry blog posts and razzed me over it, but in all seriousness, not offended in the slightest. I actually thought it was pretty funny. On that note, while the Orain situation isn't very amusing to me, the fact ED decided to mock Orain and what happened to it is still funny. When things suck, it good to find something hilarious about the situation to laugh at, and I applaud ED for calling out us on being cheap bastards and mocking me for being a whiner. I can't deny they have a point.

I've been working on my Dragon Quest 1 Remake 1.8 Beta for awhile now, and it turns out what I thought would a simple re-balancing and betatest has ballooned into a much bigger job than I planned because of the following: * New relationship value system: Due to a new mechanic where all party members can gain relationship value points with one another, I have had to re-balance all enemies not to be too hard or easy, at least on standard difficulty, and even though I lowballed the stat bonuses relation values give to avoid making them game breaking, they still can add up fast, so I had to fix things. * Different formula calculations: I recalculated the damage formulas in an attempt to bring them even closer to DQ standard, which has made them more accurate, but has required further rebalancing, since it was making some monsters retarded strong when using magical attacks (Actors use different balancing than Enemies, so I'm covered on the former) * Busted code and various fix

(reposted from Medium.com) Recently, I contacted Brianna Wu about commenting on the following stories I wrote on Medium.com: A rebuttal to an article penned by Brianna Wu on white men A rebuttal to another critically flawed article by Brianna Wu Being this is a journalism website, I am an amateur in that field (by writing for a journalism website), and I felt it honest and polite to allow the subject of my articles a chance for comment, so I sent Brianna Wu a polite email requesting some commentary whenever she found convenient. My emails and her response can be found here: Request for comment on some articles I wrote in rebuttal to your own (an email I sent Brianna Wu) Brianna Wu saw fit to lie about my intentions and make me look like an evil person for my courtesy here: https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/638488971253809156   Archive in case the above mysteriously vanishes: https://archive.is/fLXxy I’d also like to add I’m SUSPENDED from Twi

I recently wrote some articles in rebuttal to some articles you wrote on your own site on Medium.com, and in the event I am wrong on certain details or you have any comment, I invite you to comment on the following: https://medium.com/@infiltrator7n/a-rebuttal-to-an-article-penned-by-brianna-wu-on-white-men-21c64a5d6ee2 https://medium.com/@infiltrator7n/a-rebuttal-to-another-critically-flawed-article-by-brianna-wu-63bbbd07537d I am sending this request because I believe it is fair to inform you what I have written for reasons of transparency and because despite our differing opinions, I would like your input in case I have grossly misinterpreted your thoughts and intentions. Please let me know when or if you can do so whenever you find convenient. P.S. - For reasons of transparency, I plan to publicly post the contents of this email on my personal blog, which you can find here: http://gethn7.blogspot.com/ Brianna Wu has contacted me with the following: You a

Recently, the social justice warriors have gotten their teeth kicked in on multiple fronts: * Zoe Quinn/Chelsea von Valkenburg got her legal ass roasted over the coals by Eugene Volohk, who basically declared the shit she pulled on Eron Gjoni was unconstitutional, and Eron has every intention of taking her to task for abusing the law to silence him, and stands a decent chance of winning. * Gamergate had ANOTHER bomb threat called on an event with many journalists who have now seen the opposition for what they really are (people so terrified their narrative would be shattered they'll do anything to reinforce it), and while the origin of the threats is still unknown, the point is that journalists can see if some assholes were willing to call almost a dozen bomb threats on a peaceful assembly, then the people the assembly was for may not be the villains they've been painted as, and journalism has seen a massive uptick in their ethical membership reaching out, and many of the f

For those not in the know, Rise News Miami is the journalism site that, after the SPJ Airplay bomb threat incident, has added a Gamergate section to their site and allow BOTH sides of the issue to be heard. I'm pro-Gamergate, but I applaud their willingness not to be biased towards either side, as an honest press depends on not being a propaganda mill, but a fora for both sides of a debate. After contacting them to thank them for their journalistic integrity, they thanked me for the kind words and informed me they were opening a new site that would be international and for which they were looking for writers. As someone who salutes any press organization committed to honesty and integrity, they have my prayers and  best wishes for their success, and I urge anyone, regardless of your position on Gamergate or any other issue, to give them your support and submit work to them if you wish to have your position heard. They can be followed on Twitter at @RiseNewsNow

Ever since I commented on a few discussion panels, I have gotten some intense hatred simply because I've tried to remain civil, post facts, and even though I even sided with my opposition when they were clearly in the right, I'm still considered an enemy simply because I disagree. Well, to Mr. Chu and my esteemed oppositon, I have a few rebuttals: This tweet is Arthur Chu wanting me to stop reading his "fucking feed" , as in, his public twitter feed. I'm sorry, Arthur, but I refuse. There is no law barring me from doing so, nor reading any other Twitter feed that is publicly available. If you choose to protect your feed from public scrutiny, that is your choice, but when you put comments out into the open (like this blog for example), you open yourself up to public scrutiny, and your Twitter shall be under the same guidelines so long as it remains public. Also, I'd like to refute a few lies: In this comment, a Nora Reed says I was banned from Twitter

Below is the complete text of an email I sent Maddy Myers, a feminist writer for The Mary Sue. I wrote it after trying out her Twine game (which isn't too shabby), and which can be found here: http://maddymyers.itch.io/siren-for-hire I am publishing the text of this email because I want to take apart the conceit that Gamergaters hate women, especially those trying to do anything related to gaming. In fact, I'm grateful she decided to make her work public and wish for her continued success, as the below should demonstrate: I saw that Twine game you created on your Twitter feed, have tried it out, and so far, I like it. Your writing shows great skill, and I like the deconstruction of the magical girl premise. The actual technical structure of the game shows you have a good grasp of coding, and I like how the structure seems more interactive than a typical CYOA (Choose your own adventure game). It's somewhat dark, and not my usual cup of tea, but it is well writt

Before I get castigated by the more moderate well meaning black community who happens to subscribe to that while not considering all whites the devil, I just want to say I've been in extremely consistent support of civil rights for all races since I was in short pants. However, what just recently happened to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders turned my stomach. I personally have no strong opinions on him politically (I'm waiting until we have a firmer idea who the actual viable people in the race will be), but he has my sympathy and personal respect over how shabbily he was treated. I am referring to the fact that during his own speech the night before he was chased off his own stage by a bunch of assholes who told him to shut up, they were going to speak about what really mattered, then turned the whole thing into a radical black rights circlejerk, accusing him of not giving a shit. First off, fuck you to every asshole involved in pissing on this man's speech. Y

Behold the new Twitter for people tired of the echo chamber of SJW outrage Twitter has become: http://sealion.club It's currently a work in progress, but it's quite stable and welcoming anyone and everyone to try it out, and it already has several advantages over Twitter: 1. Longer Messages (1000 characters versus 140) 2. Open source ( Under the GNU license) 3. No complicated barriers to entry (such as needing a mobile phone number) It also features many features from Twitter that are known and loved, such as retweets (resending messages), favoring messages, and due to the fact it's a more flexible format of federated communication, private messaging is completely possible using the same interface as regular messages with the same message character limit. Given how I'm disgusted by how Twitter has been taken over by SJW lynch mobs, I'm all for a better service minus their nonsense, and even though it has been created by pro-GG people, the service welcom

Social Justice, is, as the name states, trying to achieve justice for social issues, a laudable goal. Unfortunately, the form it takes on the internet is fucking laughable, or that's what I would say, if it wasn't for the fact everyone who practices it is such a foul hypocrite the laughs die in my throat. 1. On Tumblr - Social Justice takes many bizarre forms on Tumblr, but the most idiotic are the types who want equality and tolerance for all sorts of various genders, many of which are made up and whose terminology only exists on Tumblr. No offense, you guys can call yourselves whatever you want on Tumblr, but I'm going to laugh in your face if you seriously want me to recognize you as a genderqueer polysexual wolfkin or whatever the hell else you guys call yourselves whenever the mood strikes you to change to, something that occurs about as often as I change shirts. 2. On Twitter - Currently suspended, and while there are a few decent human beings on Twitter, the

I write this post to say that for everyone in #Gamergate, congrats, you're on the winning team. A year ago, things looked bleak. A year ago, social justice warriors held most of the media by the balls, trying to sell them on the idea that all gamers were evil, sexist assholes who hate women and don't want them in the industry. To be honest, we only wanted one woman (Zoe Quinn) not exactly out, but taken to task for her collusion with game reviewers in exchange for positive coverage without disclosing the COI, and it prompted a backlash. Why? BECAUSE GAMERS STRUCK A NERVE. The nerve we struck was one where the gaming press had become an arrogant body unto themselves that didn't believe their mandate was simply to report on gaming culture. Instead, they felt they could abuse their power to shape gaming culture and this arrogance had corrupted them into doing corrupt things, and all those who kicked off Gamergate caught them with their pants down. Their counterattack

Based on my current progress with my RM VX Ace project, it's about halfway finished, and now I want to look back on my work a little and go over some of my trials and tribulations in doing so: * I learned a lot more about copyright - Given my work is a fan remake of a commercial game, I use some content from the original for parody/fanfiction purposes, though I have been attempting to fill in blanks wherever possible with my own work on content I can acquire full licenses to use, and even though I've seen Dragon Quest fan projects made up entirely of stock assets from the games themselves, I've been trying to make at least 80% of my game original, and as I stated in the credits for my game, my fan game is meant to honor and promote the originals, classics I'm sure my pale imitation will never meet or exceed in quality, and Square Enix and any other parties I have used licensed assets from will have my full cooperation in the event of legal disputes, and to keep my pr

Before I begin, here's a description of the trope in question. Now, I've heard a lot people who subscribe to Anita Sarkeesian's views on feminism, Brianna Wu included, say this trope is terrible, overused, and it makes women little more than objects robbed of agency for male empowerment. I disagree, and in the latest beta of my own game ( which can be found here) , I decided to take those arguments and refute them. Dragon Quest 1 (which my game is a loose remake of) had a totally cliche "kill dragon, save princess" quest, and the princess was little more than a plot coupon you had to collect, but ironically, I don't see anyone who subscribes to Sarkeesian's views taking a trip in a time machine and giving this game any grief. In their defense, games were just coming out of their infancy and the trope wasn't as done to death, but if it's terrible all the time, why wasn't it maligned? Well, in my remake version, I take the quest and the

I was recently sent an email from someone on the Kiwi Farms saying, quote: "finish that fucker off :)" I was even linked to their thread on Brianna Wu, here: https://kiwifar.ms/threads/brianna-wu-a-k-a-literally-wu-the-anti-gamergate-goty-developer-extraordinaire.6034/ For those not aware, the Kiwi Farms is a forum for mocking people who have made fools of themselves on the Internet, and while I don't sanction or condone their activities, I do appreciate any moral support their members have expressed, but I want to make something explicitly clear to both them and Twitter: My intentions were not to harass. All I wanted to do, while I admit I'm critical of Brianna Wu's work, was hopefully to establish a dialogue with Brianna Wu, and maybe even get some answers on questions I had. I'm not very sanguine on her work, but I was hoping I might learn more via direct discussion and possibly get some misconceptions cleared up. At no time did I ever bring up an

Gamergate has been accused of a lot of evil, malicious things, things that recently have been proven untrue,. as Gamergate led the charge against Gawker on Twitter with mass emails to their advertisement sponsors to yank support in response to Gawker's publishing of libelous content meant only to destroy someone under pretenses involving extortion, all for the sake of page clicks. As Gamergate opposes corruption in the press, and since Gawker is the parent company of Kotaku, a gaming site rife with corruption, I and many others joined our efforts to expose Gawker for what they were to the public so that their corruption would be their downfall. However, not everyone uses Twitter for good: http://gamergateharassment.tumblr.com/ This Tumblr documents all sorts of corrupt uses of Twitter  to silence, persecute, harass and denigrate anyone supportive of Gamergate, here's some horrifying examples: https://gamergateharassment.tumblr.com/post/101754835501 This basically sa

In this post, I'm going to write about why I like Breitbart columnist Milo Yiannopoulos, and since I adore his deadpan snarky style, I shall try to imitate it here, and while imitation is usually the highest form of flattery, I would not blame him if that didn't turn him on. I am a liberal after all. On that subject, he's very conservative, but I admire how for a conservative how much he's willing to tolerate his critics, even to the point of retweeting people who believe he needs to have his sexy head of hair shaved off and shoved down his throat until he dies of asphyxiation. Me, I think that's a highly inefficient way to kill a guy who dies after half a dozen hits to the face with a dildo in Postal 2: Paradise Lost (yes, you can kill Milo in the game, or even urinate on his face if you like while he bitches about "not being into that"), but to each their own. Regardless, I have found him very charming and openminded for a man whose opinion of Ba

As much as I have screamed to the heavens how I hate Social Justice Warriors, social justice itself is a noble cause, it's just been perverted by Twitter harpies, Tumblrinas, and shifty entitled assholes in ivory towers bitching about first world problems like offensive code strings or fictional female shaped pixels. This is my feelings on all that: FUCK YOU, WHAT ABOUT ACTUAL WOMEN WHO SUFFER?! There are countries on this planet where women have no agency, no rights, and no dignity. There are women who are literal slaves to men, who can be beaten, murdered, raped, and tortured, and they cannot defend themselves. These poor souls are in situations where they can be clubbed to death simply asking for a sip of water if a man doesn't want them to, and it pisses me the fuck off most of the psuedo-feminists above can only rant about "manspreading" and "oh no, Princess Peach is a helpless damsel!" FUCK YOU, ACTUAL WOMEN ARE SUFFERING AND YOU DON'T GIVE

Almost everyone has heard of "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, but for those who haven't, here's the basics: A lawyer named Atticus Finch has to defend a black man accused of rape in the pre-Civil Rights South, and despite all the pressure on him to do the wrong thing and sell out his own client, he still tries to defend the man against an obviously corrupt and false charge, loses, but does so anyway despite the spite of his peers and the cultural values of his time. And we see all this through the eyes of his daughter. It's a classic work of literature, and I still consider it a great book. Recently, an unofficial followup that was never released was found and was tidied up for publication called "Go Set a Watchman", and while calling it a sequel is a stretch since some of it's plot points contradict the original text of TKAM, what has SJWs crying foul is the fact a grown up version of Finch's daughter discovers her father, who she s

It's that time again, when I rant and bitch about something that makes me mad, so if you want to avoid a ton of cursing and rage, skip this post. Anyway, I recently learned Tumblr has spawned yet another group of degenerate shitheads whose abortions would have been a public service, known as "lifters", short for shoplifters. Basically, fucking criminals who glorify stealing shit because it gives them a cheap thrill and because they have no respect for the law, not to mention are too lazy to earn money to support the economy they are fucking over without any goddamned shame. I've seen these fucking blogs, these piss stains in the underwear of society have the fucking balls to gloat about stealing shit, posting photos of all the crap they have lifted and patting each other on the ass and telling each other how awesome they are. YOU'RE GODDAMNED THIEVES, YOU SOULLESS FUCKS, YOU'RE NOT ANYONE WHO DESERVES ANYTHING OTHER THAN TIME IN PRISON! Nothing pisse

To quote a line from Treasure Island "I own myself an ass." Why? Because I made a very foolish rookie coder mistake when working on my current game project that has made every build since the errors were introduced have game breaking bugs, and it was because of foolish oversights on my part. The issue was that the minigame scripts I used for my ingame casino lacked sane exit conditions for the scene window script they were intending to alias, and it caused my entire project to be retroactively corrupted. However, I'm getting ahead of myself, let me explain aliasing in coding terms. Aliasing in Ruby code (which RM VX Ace uses) means code that does one thing is rerouted to an alias, or alternative. For instance, if I aliased the word "apple" to be rendered "orange" in a program determining how many uses of the words apple and orange were in a block of text, all it would result in finding nothing but uses of "orange', since "apple&qu

I accidentally sent a tweet to Ian Miles Cheong from the ATT site twitter instead my personal one, and since the tweet isn't far from the path of how ATT officially represents myself, I'll clarify. Ian Miles Cheong was, from my understanding, a fiercely hateful anti-GGer who had an epiphany that hate had made him a horrible, closeminded asshole, so he repented and has been trying to be a better person. He has not entirely renounced his Gamergate and gaming culture views, but he's no longer an abrasive prick about them and has been trying to reach out to his critics. Speaking as founder of the site meant to be an alternative to TV Tropes and a pro-GGer personally (All The Tropes does not represent me in that regard), I admire that. I don't ask he give up his convictions, he's entitled to his views, but I'm glad he's focused less on spreading hate and instead wants to build bridges, much like I never wanted our site to be the hateful spinoff of TVT, but in

Before I go on, I've made clear my disgust for many of the actions of Brianna Wu (aka John Walker Flynt) here many times, but that doesn't mean I'm not capable of trying to be civil in the company of someone who actions I despise. For example, I had a lot of vitriol for TV Tropes, but I still tried to be a bridge builder, and today we're on rather cordial if not outright friendly terms. That said, I tweeted Brianna Wu a few times, all of them with me trying to be polite, and I fail to understand why I was blocked, Here are the tweets: https://slimgur.com/image/TzZ In this tweet, Wu is asked to speak about racism against blacks, and Wu wisely decides to show discretion, an action I applaud Wu for. https://slimgur.com/image/TzM In this tweet, Wu makes reference to a friend who lost someone and who had been misgendered in the process. I expressed my sympathy, but I was unsure how misgendering could be so devastating, and I really did want more context. http
