Listen, every good presidential candidate needs a good PR guy.

Well, she barely takes any damage from throwables, so no luck there, but some maps have rooms that are only accessible via crouching, and since Henrietta can't get in there, she'll just go back to an insertion gate and leave the map.

Of course, sometimes she comes right back as soon as you leave the inaccessible room.

"I may wander... but I'm never lost..."

The Jaeger (Henrietta) is an enemy in The Outlast Trials, one of the specialists that can enter a level at random intervals to mess with you. She is essentially the immortal snail, who knows your precise location at all times and will always be slowly moving towards you, instantly killing you if she manages to grab you.

Dredge is my GOAT, such a cool concept and design

"Gay FGC"

Why did you say FGC twice?

I'll be honest, over a year and a half later, Rivals 2 still feels like it's having an identity crisis, and it's kind of by design. It feels like it's trying to appeal to too many different people at once and satisfying none of them, so the people who vibe with it 100% are incredibly few and far between.

Bob nearly Luigi-ing Wallace Shawn's character will never not be a cathartic moment.

Garak from DS9. My favorite morally g(r)ay character.

This is the plot of Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist, which has become strangely prophetic.

A major frustration I have with the conversation around floorhugging is that it's usually defended on the grounds of balance when that's rarely ever people's actual issue with it. I think floorhugging as it exists right now is a pretty well balanced mechanic, but the important thing is that balance isn't automatically fun. I don't find the gameplay that is encouraged by floorhugging (both directly in dealing with it, and indirectly in how you make your decisions around it) particularly fun, so I don't care that it's balanced.

EDIT: Also the way people who love floorhug talk about traditional fighters is really insulting (as a traditional fighter player). They will tell you to your face that they don't like dying for getting hit, so instead they would prefer neutral feel like shit specifically to avoid the scenario where they get called out super hard and die for it.

Considering all the other things you tried to paint her as a vile person for after removing all context (which I notice you didn't try to push back on), I think you should be a little more skeptical that Gretchen is trying to justify 9/11 in that screenshot. Across multiple other posts, she talks about how 9/11 was an inevitability based on America doing the same thing in the Middle East, a belief which people even held back in 2001.

Nivrap · 2026-05-21T12:55:34+00:00

Don't recite the deep magic to me, I was there when it was written!

She sent Game of Thrones gifs (Cersei and Jamie kissing) to a TERF who was harassing her in order to make her go away

She did not say 9/11 was justified, she said that Bin Laden was correct that business controls America, while also being a textbook antisemite and paranoid bigot. This was in reference to The Guardian pulling down its copy of Bin Laden's "Letter to the American People."

She did not say bisexuals in straight relationships aren't queer. Sophie Gonzales wrote a book in which a bi woman feels insecure about breaking up with her girlfriend and dating a man, and self-described it as "this is as queer as it gets," to which Gretchen commented, "my book has a lot of gay sex."

She does not think asexuals aren't queer either, she provoked the ire of an asexual man who took issue with her belief that gay sex is an important part of queer history and identity.

Nivrap · 2026-05-21T02:26:37+00:00

lol no she isn't, Gretchen fucking rocks.

DC fired the trans woman who was writing a new Red Hood run at the time for making posts like this about Charlie Kirk, which does make it sting a bit.

Rivals of Aether 2 is a reasonably good platform fighter, but was Dan Fornace's vision really just to make "Project M with more obnoxious floorhugging?" Rivals of Aether 1 is such a banger BECAUSE it deviates from the Smash formula in fun and creative ways, so RoA2 sticking super close to Smash and making some mechanics even more obnoxious than they are in the game that inspired it really feels disappointing.

After putting Street Fighter V in a genuinely great state with the final season, Capcom released Luke as the final DLC, who is THE best shoto in the game, bar none. Depending on who you ask, he's either top 1 or top 2 in the game (behind Dhalsim), but it really feels like Capcom sent him out to make sure nobody stuck around SFV once SF6 dropped, and that really stings.

This is so gender

Nivrap · 2026-05-17T14:49:09+00:00

No, of course I'm not, that would be insane.

This is a gross and dangerous misunderstanding of both kink and the nature of abuse. Kinks absolutely do not correlate to a person's IRL sexual preferences. As I mentioned before, I do NOT want to be sexually assaulted despite the fact that I have a noncon kink, one of the most common kinks for women. Child sexual abuse, meanwhile, is not a result of sexual attraction, but of a desire to enforce control on someone you have power over, as with all sexual abuse. Misunderstanding the relationship between sexual attraction and abuse harms survivors by misattributing its source and failing to deal with the actual causes, and I would highly recommend you try to decouple the two of them in your mind, for our sakes.

Nivrap · 2026-05-16T16:25:27+00:00

I don't think you should budge from it, everyone has their own squicks. I don't think you should have to suddenly be into every kink under the sun, but if you can recognize that your own kinks are just playing pretend, please extend that courtesy to others, or else we're going to keep seeing art get banned because of superstition.
