every video game dev is no longer allowed to touch any deserts nor anything in them to any capacity you have all FAILED the test

"what about the deserts in america? can we borrow the wild west aesthetic?" I need you to ask yourself where the term "wild west" came from and what exactly needed to be "tamed" about it. I need you to think about it really really hard

Don't forget the middle east, which in fiction is almost exclusively portrayed as empty desert and men with guns and camels, instead of the reality that it's just a subcontinent with entire cities full of people who just want to live their lives without being murdered by foreigners.

Best comment I just saw "Helen of Troy was perfectly cast, because all these men are fighting about her."

what's that one thing where they asked how ripely from alien was so realistic and believable as a female character in scifi for once and they were like "well we just took the dude from the original script and made him a girl and changed nothing else. it works bc men and women are the same?" and people were like "woah no way" and then didn't learn anything from that for 20 years

"how do you write such believable men as a woman?" "how do you write such believable women a man?" and the answer people who are good at it always give is "i just write people. were literally the exactly the same. do you think the opposite sex is some sorta totally different animal???" and people respond "woah that's wild. yea i do. and im not gonna stop thinking that goodbye :)"

I’ll never forget the time my parents said they were going out for a few hours, and left my siblings and me at home by ourselves (ages 9-14), and instead of going nuts or just sitting around, we all rushed and did our hair and makeup and got dressed as fancy as we could; sister pulled out the wine glasses and grape juice and made an hors d'oeuvres platter, another googled how to play poker, pulled out chips from a different game, dimmed the lights, and we set up a fancy 4-person gambling den at the kitchen table and played until my parents said they were on their way back with dinner. Then we quickly picked everything up, washed our faces, changed back into our casual clothes, and pretended nothing ever happened. They never found out.
