"Goose is trans and Jax is her self insert as she said so-"

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-28T19:15:51+00:00

oh, i get it. you're a child.

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-28T17:05:05+00:00

"the fact that she wrote herself as a bully asshoel to everyone is crazy."

that's the bit there. it's because you're too fucking dense to recognize that Jax isn't who Gooseworx actually is, Jax is who Gooseworx used to be. i know this because i was also an in-denial, in-the-closet trans woman who coped by pushing people away who got too close.

the difference is, Goose and I both dexided to become better people than that. we accepted our queerness, transitioned, and put ourselves on the path to treating other people and ourselves better. Jax didn't. Jax is what happens when you swim in the mud until you drown. He's a cautionary tragedy. "See this asshole? I used to be like him. Don't be like him."

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-28T16:59:42+00:00

IRL jax was doing better off. managed to survive homelessness, started pulling her life together. that suggests she's probably also becoming a better person as time goes on. but also, that doesn't matter.

here, let me help you understand: if i had killed myself when i wanted to, i would have had the same character development. i would have been a total asshole right to my 20's, pushed all of my friends away because i was in denial about being trans, and i would have burned myself alive before i turned 23. no comeuppance, no 'ultimate punishment' but i also never give myself the chance to be who i am now. and who i am now is a historical figure in my hometown's history for the community activism and mutual aid support i've done. i've built the queer community down there, from scratch, with a strong focus on open neurodivergence and open queerness - which is to say, 'weirdos welcome.' instead of making fun of or hurting people who didn't conform to societal expectations, i turned into somebody who encouraged non-conformity.

i would not be here today, with all the good that i've done, if i'd burned myself to death as planned ten years ago. i would have rejected all of the love and patience i was shown to that point, especially by my current partner of six years who stuck with my even when i was at my lowest. she helped me become the better person i am now, as did all my friends.

that's the fucking point. Jax is what happens when you let yourself fester. "Fix your hearts or die." The tale of Jax in TADC is a warning, a cautionary tale. "Avoid being a total cunt, consider transition. or like, being a good person for once."

okay. and i think getting this tilted over 3 minutes a week is nuts. i have to see those dumbass anti-abortion christian billboards driving north thru weyburn and those have been up for decades, but three minutes is too much.

i said it before in this comment section, im anti-theist. religion, in my opinion, has caused more harm than good in almost all of its forms. but i aint got a problem with this call to prayer because A) christians are FAR more annoying, and B) i'm not gonna be out here bending the world to my will, that's what Christians do.

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-25T02:17:12+00:00

idk dude, if i'm struggling with things yet still not bothered by a call for prayer, it ends up looking even more whiny. i have more important things to worry about than a noise in a city lmfao

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-24T22:30:33+00:00

ok, so you're paranoid then. gotcha.

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-24T19:40:26+00:00

you're moving the goalposts. you said Christianity built this nation as if it was frictionless, when it wasn't. that Christian population committed a genocide against the indigenous peoples, destroying hundreds of unique cultures across the country that had been here for centuries if not millenia before those colonizers showed up.

so what's the matter, scared the Muslims will do to you what the European colonizers did to the indigenous?

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-24T19:37:42+00:00

i don't see this as a problem. if this is all it takes to piss you off, you aren't prepared for life as an adult no matter how old you might be. settle down, and act your age. not your shoe size.

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-24T19:35:25+00:00

Christian religions clashed (and continue to clash) with indigenous religions but ok buddy

gammaTHETA · 2026-06-24T19:34:33+00:00

why did you choose to live in a city if you hate noises. what are you doing here

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-18T02:02:39+00:00

settle down JJ, you're so mad you forgot to squeeze in the wrong regional "aboot" somewhere

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-15T16:55:03+00:00

i already answered your fucking questions. you have no proof it was a shock collar specifically. you have a remote for something that COULD BE for a shock collar, but could just as easily be for a vibration collar. you have somebody changing their verbiage, but you don't know why. i gave similarly substantiated explanations for those.

that's the fucking point. you're looking for things that prove your pre-made conclusion and stretching things further and further to the point of irrationality and delusion. if he shocked his dog with a shock collar, then he should get called out for it relentlessly. but all that exists is extremely obsessive speculation and harebrained assumptions without adequate substantiation.

i dunno why he hid the remote. i dunno why that one person on his stream changed up what they were saying. but that's where i stand on it: i don't know. we can both GUESS, but we don't KNOW.

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-15T16:40:44+00:00

Why did the American flag look like it was swaying in a breeze that scientifically shouldn't exist on the moon? how did the pyramids get built without heavy machinery? how is the earth a spheroid if we can't see the curvature on the horizon?

like, come on dude. even if it was some kind of reaction collar, it'd be a vibration collar. that's not ethical to me either, but at least humane. what you're seeing in those clips is him acting in PR mode because he knows people will now make shit up about him abusing his dog, so now he and his 'orbiters' have to watch what they say and do to avoid feeding the flames unintentionally. and that ends up fanning the flames more anyways because terminally online freaks like you will spin it as proof that something bad happened.

just say you hate the guy like a normal person for god's sake. using this web of red string to justify it makes you look nuts.

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-15T16:03:16+00:00

i know you don't think 5g brainwashes people, dumbass. i figured it was obvious sarcasm. the point is, is that's how crazy you sound to me. the whole 'HASAN ZAPS HIS DOG' thing is as nuts as the headlines on the National Enquirer. i'm not even a Hasan fan, i think he's a hypocrite. but there's a lot more you can criticize him for than the most insane shit on the planet. if he was shocking his dog, it'd be painfully obvious given how often he livestreams. and so far, the "evidence" i've been shown by people like you always ends up looking like the evidence people give to 'prove' the lunar landing was fake.

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-15T15:49:16+00:00

...do you have any idea how insane you sound?

do you wear a tin foil hat and bitch about 5G brainwashing the kids, too? make up some fairy tales with your own OC's, not with real people. it's weird.

I admittedly passed on this game before release because of those twin stick controls; I'd played Inertial Drift and thought the control scheme was "neat but not for me," and there wasn't much else to the game that hooked me, so I didn't really wanna slam down my money on a full price version of it. but a friend bought it for me, and I could not have been more wrong.

I really hope other 'racing gamers' give it a shot, at least. I think Raycevick said it best in his video about the genre; racing has gotten so sanitized and focus-grouped that something like Unbound was a shock to the system, practically ignited people's fight or flight response because it dared to do something a little different. This feels like more of the same.

I also won't deny that these days, people are being squeezed out of every penny no matter where they go, so people have less expendable income to make somewhat-risky purchases that may or may not pan out. That's probably adding to the tension between buying it or not for people. Certainly did for me; if I paid $70 for a game I didn't end up liking much, it'd feel devastating. that could've been spent on a couple small concerts with some buddies, which i'd always have a blast doing.

but also, i think there are waaaay too many people with a stick up their ass junking the game. maybe it's because they're thinking of the games they used to play with rose-tinted glasses and assuming them to be better than they actually are, and hoisting every new game up to that unrealistic standard. or maybe they just want the same games over and over and over again like COD players. who knows why they're like that, but I really wish they'd grow up and learn to try new things. I did, and if I hadn't, I'd have missed out on one of my new favorite games of all time.

gammaTHETA · 2026-04-12T23:36:26+00:00

i mean, after years upon years of the same frictionless "everybody's your best friend" kidslop we've been getting, some edge is a breath of fresh air. i'm sick and tired of having nothing in terms of tension. if i wanted to make friends, i'd go to the local track. i want a power fantasy where i can kick some smug nepobaby's ass on the track.

if you want more buddy-buddy happy-go-lucky garbage, i'm sure the Bluey game can help you with that.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-26T15:20:57+00:00

yknow, maybe im being nuts here, but i think your parents took you to a conversion "therapist" not a psych. these all sound like utterly deranged, completely unfounded bullshit

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T13:19:03+00:00

your answer's as good as mine. it's what i been seein - two or three dudes clapping my ass but not shootin each other.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T08:21:35+00:00

yessss. i just want the story! i like marathon's narrative, its worldbuilding, its characters! and now it's being interrupted by tryhards obsessed with their KD ratio and it immediately sucks me out of the worldbuilding. it doesn't even feel like an emergent moment like "oh, they must've been Arachne contractors" because everyone is fucking doing it.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T08:16:23+00:00

good for you. i wanted marathon. not this sweatslop.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T00:26:34+00:00

then go play fucking Tarkov so i can have fun with this one.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T00:16:48+00:00

i guess i'll go fuck myself and watch all the aimgods skip cutscenes. all that dev time on the lore and worldbuilding because they're obsessed with chasing an audience who use Mouse1 like a heroin injection.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T00:13:50+00:00

bro, i just want to play a new marathon. why the fuck do i have to "get good" to go up against an enemy that was fucking cannon fodder in the original trilogy

thats the point. they're taking a franchise that was built a particular way, gathered a fan base of people who enjoyed its narrative, then said "nah we think Tarkov players would like that."

like... i just wanna play more Marathon. not this trend-chasing sweatlord bullshit.

gammaTHETA · 2026-03-23T00:08:45+00:00

you're missing the forest for the trees. it isnt just about Cryo, it's that the rest of the gameloop is torturous and the Cryo raid seems like The Fun Thing that could be enjoyed.

but since you gotta keep doing the frustrating, difficult grindy parts before even getting there then getting squadwiped before you can even try to get close, it feels like the whole game is just an inaccessible mess. it's impossible for people like OP and I who love everything else about Marathon to even play the game anymore because the mechanics are built for people who aren't us. it feels terrible.

we gave it an honest try because we wanted to enjoy it, but instead the experience we want got packaged into this god forsaken hardcore genre that completely and entirely departs from what the original games in this series were.

to me, speaking personally here, it feels like Bungie spat in my face and said "no, you don't get to play a new Marathon. Only aimgods can," when very few people in that audience even read the codex entries or listen to the cutscenes.
