Parasol Carnival

Cut to earlier this month and both John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask have come out as non-binary.

Subtitles are turned on by default

They’re never condescending via game difficulty. Easy mode is called “a mode you can breeze through!” and the hard mode is called “for players that like an extra challenge!” There’s no making fun of the player for choosing easy mode!

There’s casual reminders that tutorials are in the menu after you learn new skills

The games don’t punish you for not using every single mechanic 

There’s an ability in KH3 that lets you turn leveling off for no real reason and I think that’s hilarious 

You’re not punished for failing, you don’t lose significant progress when you die, you restart from the last encounter or the last save point and the game doesn’t beat the shit out of you for kicks

Mechanics are intuitive! There is a natural progression of button usage and it’s very easy on the hands

Beyond the fact that I know how to use both a phone book and a rotary phone and can read cursive (as long as it’s not too horrifically messy), I think it was the attitude of “Oh no, we’ve got you because you couldn’t possibly figure out how to use something that’s new to you” that really made me snort. But I think that’s the key to this and similar memes that I’ve seen.

They don’t think we could figure out how to use something new to us, because they can’t do it. 

Like, if you presented a millennial with a rotary phone or a phone book and they had never, ever used one or seen one used before, I can guarantee pretty much any millennial could figure out how to use it. Because that’s what we do: we adapt. We’ve been through so many variations of technology and seen so many new forms of technology emerge that we’ve had to learn to adapt swiftly and fluidly. It’s second nature to us.

Put a boomer in a room with a smartphone, laptop, and tablet however, and well…different story.

You know, the recent popular trend in participatory entertainment in which thousands of millennials literally go out and pay money to voluntarily be locked in a room where they have to solve puzzles under a time pressure, often using antiquated or analog technology, secret codes, and mechanisms they don’t yet understand, all without using their phones/the internet. For fun.

For many of us, that’s not panic-inducing, that’s just our idea of an enjoyable Saturday night out with some friends!

It's been two years and I still don't know what to say. It still kinda feels like he'll come back soon, like he's enlisted and I'm just waiting on him returning.

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎It's hard knowing there won't be any more photos and videos of him, no more music to come, no more of his writing or unique views of the world.

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎This man taught me a lot. He was soft, sensitive, loved fiercely. He was a total dork and loved making his members laugh. He was there for his friends. He was truly precious and it still kills me that such a beautiful person was suffering so much.

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎Let's take a minute to remember this amazing man who wrote amazing songs, for his members, himself and other idols.

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 I hope you're resting easy and keeping an eye on your loved ones.

You wanted to know you did well and you suffered a lot. You did, you did your best and tried to make it through the hard times.
