“you’re allowed to relax, you know” unfortunately i cannot do that. Otherwise they will get me

disco elysium is one of the best examples imo of how massive a gap can exist between a piece of media and the conversations around it. if you’ve never played it i think you’d be forgiven for thinking its some sort of fun gay buddy cop romp from how ppl present the story online

i still can’t get over the choice the developers made to give harry amnesia at the start. which is par for the course for rpgs ofc but instead of building him into something from a blank slate like you would in other rpgs you have to gradually uncover what a monumentally creepy violent fascistic pathetic piece of shit he is. and at every turn you have to contend with the fact that the public sees him and knows him as he “was” instead of how you might want to play him. and the game tells you outright that what breaks harry psychologically isn’t even the violence he enacts as an arm of the state its the dissolution of his relationship (these things are not disconnected sure but the brutality of his role as a cop is not the catalyst for his breakdown). its not about guilt or remorse for what he’s done, it’s up to you whether you feel guilty or remorseful on his behalf. also its just so ballsy to make a game about never giving up fighting for a more just world for everyone and your entry point is You Are A Cop And Everyone Here Rightfully Detests You. And You Didn’t Give A Shit About That A Day Ago. and even if you choose to give a shit about it now (if) it doesn’t mean all is forgiven it doesn’t mean you get to feel good about yourself. you’re still a cop. and if you want to pretend to be a Radical Communist Cop go ahead but we’ll take the piss out of you for it. man its such a good game

Would you unseal the coffin of the legendary pervert?

Reblogging this once more because my mom and I legitimately laughed to tears.

You deny your weapon it's amazing digital purpose

One of our fabric sales reps came in for an appointment yesterday and we ended up talking about the long term impacts of the pandemic. The home quilting market is predominantly a conservative customer base, so when COVID precautions were politicized, those ladies followed along and didn't get vaccinated, didn't wear masks, etc. Now many of them are dead. Most of the fabric stores in the conservative regions that our reps call on have lost twenty percent of their customers. The ladies the shop knew by name because they could be counted on for annual trade-in upgrades of $9000 sewing machines? Dead. Viking is laying off half of its staff. It's taken two years for the impact to become obvious, but the home sewing industry in the US is in shambles. A lot of experience, knowledge and artistry was lost and when the independent shops have to close, we'll lose even more.

Aaaaand now JoAnn Fabrics is closing 500 out of 800 stores. Full list here: https://www.fastcompany.com/91277436/joann-fabrics-closing-stores-list-locations-states-bankruptcy-update

Sorry to anyone who had a JoAnn's not on the above list. All stores will now be closed and liquidated.

The CEO of Birch Fabrics just sent out a letter saying that they are running a sale to see if they can generate enough cash to last another month. They are literally a five person business at this point, and production costs have gotten so high that they might not be able to continue. I hope they can hang on, because their organic cotton canvas is so good. I love their Charley Harper collection. :(

This is wild, I live in the uk and only quilt out of spite and vinegar (Really bad at it, only doing it because I wanted quilts, enemies with my sewing machine) and now I’m like I should quilt more out of double spite ✌️
