Most of the time I do legitimately screech while reading fan fiction. Mostly screeching at old tropes that I used to go batty over but now can’t stand. Man, why did I like this stuff so many years ago???

sometimes I forgot that people who I really respect follow me on tumblr
and then I’m overwhelmed with embarrassment as I remember everything I’ve posted
A Closed World was created to be a digital game that deals with queer issues, something that’s very uncommon in games right now. Game designers and marketing professionals alike have cited a number of reasons for this, ranging from a perception of institutional homophobia in game culture to a genuine desire on the part of game designers to “get it right” and create games with compelling queer content, rather than feeling that the element is merely “tacked on” in the end. The goal of this research was to present the design team with the challenge of creating a game that had this compelling queer content, and to observe the ideas and hardships they considered and encountered along the way, so that we could learn more about how to approach those challenges in other design contexts. The project left the ultimate message of the game open to the creators; what was important to discover were the challenges the team faced trying to include queer content in the game, and the strategies they used to tell the story they wanted to tell. The result is a game that asks us to carefully consider what we think of as “normal,” and what is needed to live in the world and be true to one’s self.
Everyone go play this game! It’s really good :D
Oh my god ;~; so good
