Man I Wish It Was Easier To Be A Fan Of DIY Electronics/electronics Repair Without Being Racist To Chinese

it’s sometimes frustrating when people respond to posts lamenting like, the fact that every news article is paywalled or every social media site is overrun by reactionaries or that all recipe websites are impossible to use because they’re covered in malicious ads or etc with “here’s a site that gets rid of those paywalls!” “install this recipe-unfucker browser extension on your computer!” “just join [obscure social media site that no one uses] or [dead forum]!” like I get the intent, I don’t take it as like malicious derailing or anything, and I even understanding wanting to spread resources to people esp adblocker resources. but this pattern of response in the aggregate feels like it’s fundamentally missing the point on some level - it is infuriating that you can’t spend an hour on social media without being reminded that the world viscerally hates you and wants you dead for the crime of being a minority, it is infuriating that you’re constantly condescended to about the “dangers of disinformation” by the same professional class that paywalls every single piece of data from the public, it is infuriating that the internet is rapidly approaching a point of total unusability for the express purpose of further lining a billionaire’s pockets, and no browser extension or obscure discord clone is going to fix that. These are structural problems and I think people are using these things as examples to complain about these structures, and it sometimes feels like people are missing that point when they post a link to a mozilla-only browser extension. it feels like unwanted advice to a problem that is already unsolveable via individual solutions. often it borders on patronising, as if people aren’t aware they can log off tumblr and post on a Web 2.0 forum that 1000 people collectively use or haven’t heard of the concept of an adblocker. but again like what else are you supposed to do the next time you want to look up a chili recipe or watch cat videos online or read the news. sucks ass

your life is not an optimization problem

the american people will never not be unserious

when playing danmaku games, is it better to focus on your character or on the incoming projectiles?

you ideally develop a sense of spacial awareness for your character, kind of in the same way that you develop an awareness that makes it so you don't have to be entirely conscious of where the cursor is when you move to click something across your screen

as for projectiles, it's best to never focus on the projectile itself, but the empty space around it, so you can interpret the field less as "a wall of mass that will kill me" and more as "the shifting space where it is safe to move"

Closed eyes fetish in bara game

I’m concerned: when Fantastic Boyfriends English translation is released, can Sol become popular? It isn’t because he isn’t hairy, or he is just a human, it’s because his eyes are always closed.

Closed eyes characters can be seen even in latest anime, but it’s used as meaning their state, like  “It’s closing now but I’ll open it someday“ .

Apart from that, there is “symbolic closed eyes”. For example,maybe the most well-known closed eyes character, Brok(from Pokemon) has never opening eyes. It’s just a symbolic character design like “whose one eye hidden with hair(and who have no special power)“ or “who always wearing a hat“. It’s can be seen in manga from classical times for differentiating numerous characters illustrated by one artist.

I said “it’s just a symbolism”; but strangely, they have some vibes for Japanese people: calm, kind, mature and sturdy. Their vibes make them look nice for bara lovers, and easy to differentiate as game character, so they are in the bara game.

However, those are only in Japan, and Fantastic Boyfriends will release in English language regions.

I’m concerned.

(P.S. I can’t found any bara art tagged as “closed eyes” on Tumblr, so please press the like button if you have the same fetish or sympathizes with that.)
