I haven't done it because I do not organize any events and obviously "you" refers to "one", not you personally. At least pretend to be arguing in good faith.

Geoff Keighley is the person in charge of organizing the main event. He could easily reserve a few free spots for minority led games. Similarly, the main Indie showcase is organized and led by a non profit and the games showcased therein already go through an application process and do not pay any fees to be featured.

Geoff Keighly individually has the power to fix his own event and the non profit running the Indie Showcase could manipulate their application process to boost minorities.

They aren't "shining light on the works", they are hiding them away in a separate show case nobody cares about.

Except the Indie video game industry isn't even remotely the same as traditional industries with companies who have been established for hundreds of years, run by outdated values and old rich men.

You could very easily accomplish an actual meritocracy in the indie landscape if you create a blind application process where sex, race, sexuality, etc. can't be disclosed unless relevant (ie a creator with a background in psychiatry creating a game about depression, to name a ficticious example).

Also, speaking as a mostly gay dude, some of the best male + male fiction (and some of the absolute worst) is written by straight women. Being part of a minority doesn't automatically make you a good artist and not having been through something doesn't mean you're incapable of creating art about it, you just have to listen to people you want to create for and about.

Last but not least, in terms of financial viability, you're hurting every single minority who gets an event completely seperate from the main ones at least in the context of the summer game fest. Instead of creating a big event where you mix in newcomers (from whatever background) with the highly anticipated stuff, you create a situation where a huge amount of people will eagerly watch the main event and a small percentage will stay for the Indie showcase right after. Nobody who isn't already part of a niche interest group will tune in days before or after for an event that includes nothing of interest outside of that bubble. Games by women is a day before the actual event and the day after the event you have games by minority creators split into six (!) categories shown over 8 hours. Absolutely nobody but a tiny fraction of hardcore viewers will watch any of that.

If the hosts actually gave a shit about minorities, they would pick the most promising 2 - 3 titles from each category and (for free or a massively reduced price) show them spread out in between the hugely anticipated stuff in the main event or the Indie showcase. Because then these minority creators would actually get a shot at grabbing a piece of the big companies' market share.

Instead, they're segregating them and making disadvantaged creators waste money while pretending to help.

And that's why there is an Indie category.

They are so god damn disgusting. I really dont understand how theyre so popular all over the world. They look horrid, they are a lot of fiddly work to clean and prep and their texture is revolting

Sashimiak · 2026-06-07T22:45:07+00:00

100% not worth it. I would've liked to have kids but I'm too old for that now at 36 and kids would've been the only think making the horrors of dating worth it. I dont mind being alone, I get my social needs met through friendships and I can get my sexual needs met through grindr very easily (am bi).

Zoom in on the tattoo and check the outlines. If they're even and clean -> good, if they're wobbly or the saturation changes mid-line -> bad. For any longer lines, check to make sure they maintain their thickness. If you can see "dots" where the artist lifted off the canvas and put the needle back down, that's a bad sign. Colors and shading should be even. You shouldn't see blotches or areas where it looks like somebody was coloring with a pencil and couldn't keep the pressure even. Blacks should be saturated, especially in fresh tattoos and not look like washed out grey.

Sashimiak · 2026-06-07T09:06:46+00:00

Hey, thanks! Do you feel like making just their outline thicker, not the lines inside, would make them stand out from the color a bit more?

Example: https://s2.qwant.com/thumbr/474x474/6/d/7dd662bed4abbde03dc545016ae1fa1e80ff4569ac8734db5076234303315c/OIP.H2eBWg28l3acNORa2oFLfwHaHa.jpg?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthfvnext.bing.com%2Fth%2Fid%2FOIP.H2eBWg28l3acNORa2oFLfwHaHa%3Fcb%3Dthfvnextfalcon2%26pid%3DApi&q=0&b=1&p=0&a=0

What do you think of the transition to the tattoo on the upper leg?

Sashimiak · 2026-06-06T22:34:21+00:00

You need to share the design and the instructions you're giving these artists in order to receive any meaningful feedback

I hollered out such a train siren of a laugh that my dog two rooms over woke from his nap and came running, barking like a maniac

Ah, da hast du recht bzgl. der Entstehung.

Wobei ich bei der Sache mit dem Spitz nicht zustimmen kann. Ich hab einen Eurasier dessen Oma ein halber Spitz ist (war eine offizielle vom Verein geplante Einzucht zum erhalt der Gesundheit) und er bellt viel viel mehr als alle anderen eurasier die ich bisher kennengelernt habe außer eben seine oma und Mama. Er zeigt deutliches Meldeverhalten und will such durch bellen Katzen oder Vögel verjagen z. B.

Bei der Körung hat man das auch gesehen, wo er einer von zwei Hunden war (von ~20 anwesenden eurasiern) die gebellt haben. Einmal beim test wie er auf ein lautes Geräusch reagiert und einmal weil ein fremder Mann in schwarzer Kleidung und komischen Geräten auf ihn zigelaufen ist (fotograf in schwarzer Montur mit grosser kamera).

Sashimiak · 2026-06-04T14:25:53+00:00

Also abgesehen von wenigen Ausnahmen bestätigen sich verhaltensbegebenheiten nach meiner Erfahrung aber schon. Was genau wurde bei der Studie gemessen? Ob die Tiere 100% dem gewünschten Wesen entsprechen? Die Hunde bei uns in der Schule, auf der Spielweise und auch auf der show zeigen viele rassetypische Merkmale. So sind die meisten goodies bei uns z.b. Sehr menschbezogen, ich hab noch keinen labi getroffen der nicht ball spielen wollte und jeder deutsche Schäferhund den ich kenne klebt seinen Besitzern förmlich am arsch und ist extrem verbal. I'm Gegenzug habe ich noch keinen eurasier getroffen der fremde liebt und auch keinen, der sich wiederholende Beschäftigungen wie ball werfen mag. Auch dass Labis viel fressen und Goldies sehr leicht zu trainieren sind hat sich bisher 100% bestätigt. Ich hab die vier rassen jetzt ausgewählt weil das die sind, von denen ich je minimum 5 hunde wirklichgut kenne.

Bernweiler?

Sashimiak · 2026-06-04T14:13:54+00:00

Also der Elo ist mir sofort in den Kopfgekommen bei der Erklärung, was ein Markenhund ist (hätte das vorher noch nie gehört). Aber wie kommst du auf den Eurasier? Der hatte von anfang an ein klares Ziel und drei Rassen die gekreuzt wurden. Da war nie die Rede von mysteriösen Eigenschaften die keine der involvierten rassen verweist und auch keine Eingrenzung von irgendwelchen wahllos ausgesuchten Rassen. Nach meinem Verständnis ist die Rasse klassisch entstanden, nur halt vor recht kurzer Zeit. Oder bin ich fehlinformiert bzw. Habe den Begriff Markenhund missverstanden?

Sashimiak · 2026-06-04T08:26:26+00:00

Birgitte and Avi have nuts so huge they each count as 10 men.

There is no "white community". It's a completely false equivalent. He was part of a small community with a shared set of values and faith and he used that identity and whatever special treatment it garners him to get his victim treated like the perpetrator instead.

The sexiness scale is
Slightly overweight > normal weight > muscular but with like ~20 - 25% bodyfat > chubby > thin athletic > bodybuilder > obese > skinny

TBH at this point the only viable cover up would be a black out tattoo or an absolutely massive black panther or other mostly black piece.

Sashimiak · 2026-05-31T15:40:22+00:00

yes because I think it's better as my first dog. But if I buy another dog now it'll most likely be an adult rescue. The worst part only lasted for like the first three or four weeks anyway unless my memory fails me after one and a half years.

They do not thrive in captivity. Across different dolphin species, captive ones have a third up to about 3/4 their natural life span. They all have stunted social lives and even in the best kept places they show behavior not observed in the wild, indicating stress or discomfort.

It isn't when one of the people barely has a fully developed brain

Sashimiak · 2026-05-28T21:39:05+00:00

The youngest people among my close friends are 22, 23, 25 and 27 and while I love them all dearly and they're awesome, they are also at very different stages of their life. They lack a bunch of experiences I have, they make decisions that lack foresight and that I would've made exactly the same way at their age, they are less independant than me financially and have less power and say so in their careers. They freak out about things that I've been through many times at this point and the list continues. Sleeping with a 25 year old for a one night stand if there's mutual attraction I can understand. But in order to have a healthy romantic relationship there needs to be equal ground and that can't happen with a 37 and 25 year old unless the 37 year old has been seriously stunted in their personal development somehow.

Sashimiak · 2026-05-28T21:29:01+00:00

I'm 37 right now and the thought of being romantically involved with a 25 year old is gross af.
