P.S. in other news regaurding this update: (σ･∀･)σ ＼(＾o＾)／ (*^ーﾟ)b

they're used pretty sparingly when notices/errors/warnings are shown on the site

>>3muudq4smqk22
yahoo ヽ(´ー｀)ノ i like that one too

my suggestion is an overboard 🎋 お疲れ様 it's nice here
e: just used the site not on mobile for the first time and i see that the homepage functions as basically an overboard so that's nice. it would be convenient to be able to expand that view some more on mobile to be full width maybe (´￢`)

forced light/dark theme based on the users device is cringe, i suggest a button to let the user turn it on/off
reasoning: i use a darkreader keybind to turn off light/dark on a site and this interferes wtih that and clearly the whole world revolves around me
also no other site ive ever used does this

>>3msuqmpnyw223
i like the idea of an overboard... but yeah the existing discovery features may obviate it somewhat ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

>>3mt2mi453o22i
themes are planned - just havent gotten around to it. you will be able to config it how you like

>also no other site ive ever used does this
that can't be true

would be nice if links by default opened in a new tab maybe? i'm new to message boards but i rarely would ever want to leave the site if i click on a link here

>also no other site ive ever used does this
this is exceptionally common, google, twitch, x, youtube, reddit, github, duckduckgo, notion, figma, discord web, itch.io bluesky, letterboxd, bandcamp and wikipedia to name a few

>>3murax72rus2z
>would be nice if links by default opened in a new tab maybe?
the common style convention is that external links open in a new tab and internal ones navigate with your current tab. but i'm not sure that is always the right choice? i feel like its hard to read what intent the user has when they click. some users may prefer navigating away and then navigating back while others may want to open it up in a new tab to look at it later. there is no solidly correct answer.

i've started to appreciate that the site owner shouldn't make such a decision for the user, because you may create surprising behavior. i read a good article some time back that outlined it with better words. but here are some good arguments not to do it: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/5397/whats-your-take-on-target-blank

If someone knows anything about recovering from the physical damage lacking those habits causes, that'd also be really helpful

Hello - I have experienced some negative headspaces / lifestyles in the past, because there was a year I'd spent homeless fleeing abuse and I return from it kind of weird.

If you find yourself chronically online or gaming, as one occasionally does, I would consider making a cute "To Do List" of things you want to be better at doing daily and making it your wallpaper / lockscreen. You'll have chronic exposure to it between tasks, and that can be good.

During that weird recovery period, I also had a really big whiteboard that I was able to score from a discard pile at a scrapyard. That was also very good because I put it behind my computer and would just write tasks on it as I went. Erasing / striking tasks that I accomplished also felt very fulfilling.

Having some degree of fun with it is also helpful. If you find, for example, that you dislike bathing - try a bubblebath. Get agere with it. Feed your sense of fun and wonder.

With regard to meals, if you find yourself eating poorly, I would suggest getting like, two or three lean cuisine instant meals, or some $2.50 cans of soup and a rice-cooker. You can add rice to watery soups to make them heavier and more-filling. You can add frozen veggies, butter, and an egg to leftover rice and make fried rice. If you're too tired to cook, lean cuisine is generally pretty okay for you.

Try to get out a little, too.
If you can go for a walk, or take a bus to meet a friend, or get a library card and check out books, please do.
Breaking monotony is good, and proximity to alternatives means a lot if you find yourself feeling isolated or tempted to bedrot.

When my abuse was at its peak in Japan, I used to spend $2.50 to buy stale bread and feed pigeons. It kept me out of my house, it made me feel good and like I was nurturing something, and it was something I could do in an hour with a bit of walking.

I'm sorry things have been hard for you.

>>3muprmifqea22
Oh! Also, once-daily gummy multivitamin, moisturizer, and a facial cleanser.

If you struggle with brushing your teeth, keep two tooth-brushes - one by your bed with a cup, and one in the bathroom with everything else.

Oftentimes, you are tired, and the temptation to sleep outweighs the commitment to brush. If they're co-located a little on your nightstand, you can build better habits.

doubles of everything is huge, i keep my pills both in my purse and by the bed, toothbrush by upstairs and downstairs, water bottle up and downstairs and in my purse. doing stuff just plain wrong and different is fine if it gets you to do it. 2 laundry baskets one for "too lazy to fold/not dirty enough to wash" and one for "gross im not wearing that again." they have face wash you can just put on and wipe off no water involved (i hate getting my face wet). i hate washing dishes but i can live with it if i wear gloves and listen to music really loud. habits are good but hacks and cheating can be even more effective. also ditto getting out of the house is big, and having some kind of skill that you are really invested in practicing, learning japanese fixed my brain in a lot of ways cuz it feels like i can do anything now

i've found that meditation and exercise give me more energy than i put in, and they're kind of self perpetuating things . they're something i want to do and thats something i try to find back to when im doing poorly. would recommend

I have his set of four essays collected under the title "The dialogic Imagination". I read only the first essay before I was distracted by some other reading. I'm not sure if I think it is particularly true, or if the ideas will make reading literature more interesting or enjoyable. I don't doubt that B was well-read, but I'm just not used to this broad-strokes style of exposition and argumentation and it's hard to take him seriously. I'm not really familiar with the history of literature, so when he makes a broad claim about the development of some phenomenon and its qualitative relationship to literature as a whole, naming a couple of authors as a citation, it's unlikely for me to know if that is a commonly accepted idea or not, or what the most acceptable alternatives would be. And I also don't know what the standards for evidence and argument are in the field either, so I'm not sure how much to trust my intuition that he's often BSing. Nonetheless the basic ideas he is introducing are often quite fun! and I find myself considering them lately. Our book club has been doing Eliot's "Romola" and I find myself often considering the ironic or parodic elements of many of the passages there that I might not have otherwise considered in that light.

>>3mrnsc5oors2z
bakhtin is like huizinga for me, writers entirely carried by how interesting the ideas they present are despite having probably little to no basis in historical evidence. i think reading the diaologic imagination definitely helped me think about what was going on in novels, particularly wrt characters social types, even if ill probably never return to his work for any serious reappraisal

Torture VN jam is starting soon so I began 'The History of Torture Throughout the Ages' by George Ryley Scott.

So far the preface has dug into torture being a mass-consensus outlet for punishment and obfuscating injustice/inequality.

Slowly slowly reading Anna Karenina. The last time I tried reading this I missed how funny Tolstoy can be when he’s going for it.

i am in the middle of reading "ghostwritten" by david mitchell. been in love with his whole multiple POVs from vastly different life experiences thing ever since cloud atlas and the haruki murakami influence also doesn't hurt.

also finally acquired a copy of "the book of disquiet" by fernando pessoa -- the complete edition not the penguin one, although i'd like to have that one too -- which is a nice book to flip through randomly and go "ah yeah that is what that is like yeah". i was in the middle of reading his biography but i stopped a third of the way through and have yet to pick it back up

i think i was groomed into fucking my childhood dog but it's too much for me to unpack, the dog died like 2 years ago, felt guilty for him all this time. I think he got his rest, he hadn't let me pet him for many years, but right before he died he let me hold him and stroke his back. I'm not attracted to dogs or animals in any sense, people online sometimes say "in order to be a furry, you have to have some zoophilia thoughts" and it triggers my trauma from this situation.

whenever i see another girl happier/prettier than me i wish they would die

Whenever there's a water fountain, I'll sometimes divide the cups into two stacks so I can take one from the middle

>>3mtrawfg6uk2h
Like some others in this thread, I'm into kids, but I don't really feel guilty for that. I don't believe that it's a bad inclination, or intrinsically harmful in practice, and I don't feel motivation to pursue involvement with them (I'm sure it would be much worse for me if I were not into adults at all). I think it's sort of a good thing to have a clear and permanent reminder of how pervasive irrational moralistic cruelty is among people.

Things I do feel guilty for: basically every relationship with a girl I've been in that ended or that I really wanted to make work and that ultimately didn't. I always feel like I used her. Sometimes I think about getting back in touch and write a long apology message, but I always decide that sending it would be the selfish thing. I'm talking about multiple girls, so either the pattern is that I blame myself too much, or the pattern is that I actually do mistreat people. I guess this is a vague description. Looking down on someone's viewpoints, leaving or acting out emotionally or cheating when I couldn't get sex, failing to take care of someone financially, thinking I could fix someone…

Other things:
I feel horrible for every time I've let myself justify acting out of anger. I remember when I was a kid throwing a cat that had broken my chess pieces and telling myself it was OK to do that because animals don't have souls. And I feel bad for how naturally lazy I am, how it feels like it takes immense effort for me to do anything for another person (or even myself), whereas some people it seems to come naturally to.

>>3mtygedhjb22x
When I see really skinny girls I imagine snapping them in half like a twig.

>>3mugojit7ik2h
Yeah, I don't personally feel guilty about it most of the time, only times I really do is just rough days looking for ways to feel bad about myself by projecting societal cruelty onto myself.
Maybe this wasn't the right thread for it but it's nice to let something like this out, especially venting my frustrations with the way a huge majority of people seem comfortable completely dehumanizing us, seeming to lose any and all empathy.
I don't think our attraction is an inherently bad thing, and I don't even really believe that 'objective' evil (or 'objective' anything for that matter) exists. It's just another type of attraction, I think the vast majority of us aren't rapists or abusers, actually.
But because of how demonized it is, pushback on the downright fascist sweeping rhetoric people have against the spectre of 'the pedophile' will probably never be accepted on a wide scale without huge change.
I have at least seen an increasing number of online spaces (this could be just my own bias accepting this stuff about myself fairly recently) that seem to understand or at least be more sympathetic to us. (at least, before they are harassed off the platform...)
Yadda yadda yadda disgust holds no ethical weight yadda yadda yadda wisdom of repugnance etc.

My Life Is Just As Wrong As I Expected After Traveling to Another World Where I’m Surrounded By Cute Girls At A Magical High School And Am Also The Fabled Hero of Legend, But Before I Tell You That Story I Have To Tell You This Story, In Which I Was Walking Along With My Unbelievably, Impossibly Cute Younger Sister Who Doesn’t Like Me At All, And She Said To Me It Was My Fault She Wasn’t Popular No Matter How She Looked At It As We Walked To School Together, And We Stopped To Look At A Garden, Which Had A Flower Whose Name I Don’t Remember, When Suddenly A Portal Opened Up To Another World And When I Landed In A Field And My Face Was Buried In The Largest Pair of Boobs I’d Ever Seen, And My Sister Hit Me And Called Me An Idiot While Blushing, But Then The Girl I Landed On Saw The Birthmark On My Hand And Gasped And She Grabbed My Hand And I Blushed But She Started Dragging Me Away And My Sister Got Mad And Chased After Us And I Asked Where We Were Going, And She Said She Was Taking Us To Grimheart Magic School, Where She Was The School President, And Then I Gasped Because I Was Now In A Magical World, And When We Got To The School Which Was A Giant Castle I Asked The Girl What Her Name Was And She Said It Was Akane Yuusha, Which I Thought Was A Tad Strange Since She Had Blonde Hair And Blue Eyes And The Entire Aesthetic Of The School Seemed Very Ancient European, But I Forgot About All Of That When She Told Me We Needed To See The Headmaster Because She Had Been Taught That The Mark On My Hand Was The Symbol Of The Reincarnation Of The Legendary Dragon Hero Of Legendary Literature, And I Said That Was A Cool Thing To Be Taught Because At Our School The Only Book We Learned Was Atlas Shrugged, And She Asked What That Was And I Told Her I Was The Book Our Society Based Its Philosophy On A Speech From, And She Asked Me To Recite The Speech, Which I Did, And The Speech Went “For Twelve Years You Have Been Asking…

Milya[broken] by lol_rust is a game I sincerely enjoy very much, despite it being clunky and having lots of strange, counterintuitive gameplay throughout.

One of the biggest draws for me is the titular Milya herself, who's probably the single most relatable character I've found in any game to date; but honestly, I've taken a ton of inspiration from the design and aesthetic of the game for my own works, too~

To be sure, objectively speaking, it's an opaque, obtuse, and generally inscrutable game. It took me multiple playthroughs to decipher it in full, even with how powerfully it resonated with me from the start. And naturally, it's entirely reasonable to want to criticize it for its unapproachability—but when you take the entirety of the game and its fundamental premise into consideration, it becomes clear that these design decisions were all deliberate, forcing the player to interact with the game in a specific kind of way in order to create a very particular experience~

Now, whether most players would think said experience is worth having, and whether it's worth trudging through the maze-like design of the game and its narrative for it, is another question entirely, heh. But I absolutely adore it, and I wish more people would give it a chance and stick with it to the end~

great article. the bit about reading scientific literature through the lens of the humanities is something i found especially compelling. i confess to being imbued with a negative bias against secondary source reading after some bad experiences with rural high school english classes, but its felt immensely more rewarding to push past the kneejerk "curtains are blue" reaction and to be wrestling with theory for myself. i do wish it had gotten more into critiquing the "explain X or ill fucking kill you" memes rather than just the inter-academic reaction against theory, because i feel like the former stymied my critical thinking ability a lot more. the outright hostility never got to me as much as the self-defeating notion of being "too stupid" to understand.

in return, here's an article i really like:
https://felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrification-of-video-game-history-dfe11f1e08ae

outlining the extent that official Industry narratives of video game history both sideline the gaming histories of the global south (and/or anyone outside Japan or America), and bury the unofficial histories of modding, ROM hacking, LAN parties, etc. in favor of a monolithic consumer image of "suburban kid gets N64 for christmas". i think about it often and i think it's essential to read for anyone who cares about video games.

and one more video game-related piece that's definitive to me (though some on here might know it already)

https://harmonyzone.org/text/monsterparty.html

an appreciation of the spider from Monster Party that says "SORRY, I'M DEAD".

a very brief but expansive essay covering games writing, text processing, the disarming effect of non-sequitur, and various ways the "subterranean rhythms" of gaming as a medium leak through both the affordances and limitations of the form.

It served as a nice companion to the video game history article.
