in case anybody didn’t know why representation in media is so important

making a guide is too kind honestly, if ppl lack the common sense to not be a prick to someone and lack the ability to consider how they’d feel if someone said these things to them, they should be exiled from society. actually i’m surprised natural selection hasn’t gotten them yet

very informative guide tho

Thanks :)

fr bc why let people spend money on a game that they can’t even play? easy mode allows less skilled players to adapt to playing the game and improve, so that they can play on normal mode for their next playthrough if they so wish

It's soooo funny that we live in a post-Celeste world and people still talk about video game difficulty like there's some sort of objective 'sacred artistic vision of the developer' bullshit at play, as opposed to the immensely more nuanced 'every player has different needs and we as devs should be actively taking steps to get more players to play the thing we spent years making because that solution is literally just better for everyone involved' thing.

Like hey dude sorry that your rigid idea of video games as media is trapped in ideals that are like 20 years out of date. Hope you get over that!

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become
