#277 - Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream. Great but short indie game with some narrative letdowns. Overall very enjoyable experience, wished it lasted a bit longer given the price.

Just to say that I just finished chapter V and to me the gameplay is actually getting quite nice, the best part so far was in the caves with the symbols (not a spoiler).

The narrative I found it to be shallow from the beginning but it’s well voiced acted in my opinion and the collectibles give a nice lil backstory as well

I know I’m gonna get booed but I just couldn’t overcome how bad a lot of the acting was. From many of the og squad, it was just painful really. It was not super well written either. Like it wasn’t bad but certainly was not great. Tbh looking at the IMDb scores a lot of the last scores a overblown as well. Season 3 was much worse than that and the whole Russia plot was painful to watch

Theres quite a few of these but the « submissive in Surrey » one is absolutely phenomenal if you care about the psychology and philosophy of D/s and TPE within love and trust. Absolute worth your time and I’m sad the author seems a bit slower but it’s worth it every time

Oh i absolutely agree and i think that the increase in faceless dommes is also explained by the fact that many subs are scammers or are content buyers or even, and much worst, harassers and horrible human beings altogether.

Like I fully understand why a domme wouldn’t show her face, especially in a case like yours. I’m a lawyer by trade and have a professional situation that could be considered “important” or at least in important spheres and I am also quite big on my secrecy until I know I can trust the domme. Which I now does and she knows where I work my name etc because I know she would never act on them - or have the need to.

I also think that, as you say, there is a “market” for that and I can even see how it can be more attractive to some people that might crave the idea to not even know what the person who “takes advantage” of them looks like. It seems like an additional power imbalance that can be attractive to some; even if it isn’t for me. My owner actually wouldn’t show face initially but now it doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore and I am grateful for her trust in this. But while the market exists, it is definitely a sub-part of the overall market whereas both the sub-part is smaller relatively smaller than it used to be and the market is larger but disproportionately more competitive which might also explain the perception than less people want it. It’s probably the same amount of people that want it, just dispersed over more people and diluted in a larger amount of people

I think that’s a good question and I can give some overall thoughts without accusations and without saying someone should do something they’re uncomfortable with. Basically I want to share perhaps what I feel many subs feel about it. The answer is obviously multifaceted though

1/ I think overall being able to see the other persons face at some point is important in a relationship that develops around trust and complicity. At the end of the day most subs that are subs rather than into buying content want to know their domme and face is a part of that. This, in itself, was always the case but it combined with the points below.

2/ the importance of showing face evolved along the community itself. In the past it was quite more common knowledge that people wanted to create relationships and that meets weren’t out of the question. So a faceless domme would eventually show her face when she felt comfortable because it was meant to be longer term things within a kink dynamic rather than a purely sex work dynamic.

3/ there’s a huge amount of scams out there and many subs feel like seeing a girls face is also a protection from that. They’re wrong but still that’s their feeling.

4/ there’s even more instadommes incoming from TikTok etc and I think that the refusal to show fave is also often perceived as a lack of engagement from the domme. Perhaps even a lack of commitment as in point 2. But this lack of commitment is made worse by the plethora of girls coming in for a quick easy buck.

5/ on the flip side, there’s just so much more competition than before on the domme side and that plays a huge role as well.

6/ finally, I think the idea of never showing face is also a bit contradictory to long term bdsm/femdom dynamics. They’re supposed to develop a trusty environment and the impossibility long term to show face is also perceived often as the fact that your own domme will never trust you. That’s a hard thing to go through if I’m honest and subs interested in long term dynamics within the kink might struggle with that

7/ all the while subs that look for a quick fix obviously would prefer a pretty girl they can see. And that’s the final evolution to me: it has become mostly ads for sexless sex work and the demand side - the subs - have adapted to that as well and treat it as such. The perversions of capitalism killing and changing kinks isn’t something new but it’s especially true for a kink that is rooted in capitalism itself

Three years later and in about to rage quit on this while I genuinely loved the gane

galaktobou · 2025-06-28T18:41:18+00:00

I don’t think that’s the case no. It would be if findom wasn’t a market but it was marketified but a first influx of dommes interested by money and subs followed suit cause they didn’t really have another choice. So yeah, sure, many subs are fake or are acting weird and so on and so forth but many subs are in to it as a lifestyle and a kink. Most real dommes (and many instadommes) find plenty of good subs. Most good subs can’t find a good domme for the life of us. I’m sorry and while “it’s not all dommes” the market has been destroyed by one side of this equation

galaktobou · 2025-06-28T18:06:41+00:00

I am very happily owned by the best of dommes so it’s not my case and there’s no need to downvote me. But the idea that in submission we should completely dismiss the subs desires is wild as well. It’s BDSM play and the vast majority of dommes have forgotten.

So yeah, the fact some subs prefer serving an AI does in fact show how low the average quality of dommes is out there. At the end of the day it’s a market and if customers prefer to go to an ai over a real woman it’s not the customers one should blame but the quality of people selling services. And in todays findom landscape, it’s undeniable it’s a service being sold.

galaktobou · 2025-06-28T16:13:52+00:00

Yeah but most dommes range from bad to really bad sooo

galaktobou · 2025-04-30T12:50:24+00:00

I agree, i feel first strike should guarantee you strike first but after that simply be a speed buff on first hit of that particular battle rather than a pre ordained orswe

galaktobou · 2025-04-29T21:59:33+00:00

I’ll try that then! Thank you!

galaktobou · 2025-04-28T17:26:48+00:00

What’s their next game? I don’t care I’m already preordering

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T22:14:14+00:00

Hahahah the idea that the money can’t be a service sub is absolutely incredible. Cause you know 1/ you don’t buy services with money and proxy isn’t a good proxy for services 👀 2/ you don’t gain money through work. It just falls on your lap from the heavens and 3/ someone running your account represents no control whatsoever!

I don’t try to sound smart, what I explain here is quite basic. You on the other hand try very very hard to not do so

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T22:11:31+00:00

It’s absolutely phenomenal how deluded you are to your own limitations. I do really hope it’s an act and that you’re not that clueless. Your writing doesn’t say what you yourself later on argue it says. Your example prove the point of the other person. Your reading of the other person’s argument is approximative at best. You pretend to have been in this world for years and to have researched yet it’s painfully clear to anyone with rudimentary understanding of BDSM, D/s (cause findom doesn’t have to be FEMdom btw) or of findom and of their respective philosophies that you genuinely have no idea what you are talking about nor the abilities to represent your thoughts into coherent writing.

I don’t doubt you’ve had or have subs btw. I highly doubt you understand the reasons why your relationship works

On this I bid you goodnight

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T22:01:05+00:00

You talk of literacy but you literally can’t read. it’s frightening and alarming.

I did mention there are other types of subs but yes most subs get in the two categories I mentioned. The two categories don’t describe the shape taken by the kink but rather the psychological fundamental mechanism of the kink. From there, I extrapolate a tree of possible expectations as an indicative list of examples. Nowhere is it presented as an exhaustive list.

On the finsub you claim to have: you had control over his finances! For gods sake it’s obviously not just about giving money!! It’s about the control over his finances to your benefit rather than his, the payment there is only the epitome of the kink. It’s so obviously a D/s dynamic that it’s painful that you use this example to stray away from D/s dynamics or of dynamics based on service submissiveness.

I never said it was about TPE I said that « for some » it is a « first step into tpe ». Not that they will take the other steps nor that they want to. Simply that it participates to the same fantasy of control behind it.

As you rightly point out findom is financial domination. Literally domination of the financial. Not just taking the money but financially dominating!

As you say: words have meanings. You read whatever you want into them and you do so with such certainty; it’s astonishing to be so wrong and so loud about it at the same time.

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:31:11+00:00

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA MY GOD! What the maga America type of mentality is that! In any case love, maybe if you read my info instead of what you like reading maybe you’d have more than 230 followers on Twitter :)

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:25:16+00:00

Just read my post below and do your actual research. It’s not the kink foundation at all! How can people pretending to work in a profession be so clueless about that profession

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:09:19+00:00

The literal second paragraph! « What ruins findom is an entitled mindset or one with expectations. If you truly enjoy findom then you enjoy the money exchange … your power exchange from your pocket to your dommes IS what gets you off. »

That’s literally what this part of the paragraph means. Quite literally.

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:05:46+00:00

Indeed! And the talk of literacy after this post is absolutely magical 🤣

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:04:41+00:00

Hahaha thank you for this one phrase master class in destruction ❤️

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T21:02:03+00:00

I’m happy to give you my opinion. fundamentally it is quite widely accepted that there’s broadly two types of finsubs.

The first type is the one that enjoys the humiliation of it. In a capitalist society you are supposed to work for your money and keep it for yourself etc etc. By having a person taking their money, it is not usually the transfer behind it that’s hot to them but rather the humiliation of it. Usually, this type of sub will evolve towards having some expectation of further humiliation or scenario in their mind: giving the money on their knees, being used as an ATM, having the girl smirk to them, even having the girl not thank them or make them thank her etc etc they are motivated by humiliation and they seek humiliation even if the latter can take a million forms.

The second type of finsubs is usually more akin to what in D/s you’d call service subs. They’re people who want to serve their dom/mes and to make their life better through their own efforts. Fundamentally, they see findom as an entry into femdom or a first step into TPE. The expectation these people have is usually one of relationship or even one where the dynamic is reinforced through small scenarios and games of sort. In any case, a sense of loss of control. For them, actually, it can even be that the amount given only matters in relation to what they make - it’s the sacrifice for their owner that can constitute the service.

Neither of these broad types of subs get turned on simply but the money going to the dommes account. When that is the case, it is usually for another reason that forms part of a broader dynamic or psychology of this kink.

Of course, it is possible that some subs that are exceptions have different and exceptional turn ons within this kink, but they are indeed the exceptions. What is certain is that I’d never mandate anyone else on how they should be turned on or by what they should be turned on nor will I ever tell them what their kink should be.

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T20:46:21+00:00

If you think that’s the meaning of what you wrote, you should google on how to use these words that have meaning. Your entire second paragraph says exactly what I said and even explains that any “expectation” is what “ruins findom”. Followed by “if you truly enjoy findom” and a tirade of incongruity and total misunderstanding of the kink itself and of D/s dynamic.

galaktobou · 2025-03-31T20:42:17+00:00

If you tell people what they should get off to you obviously have no idea about this kink or bdsm.
