After finishing a vn where this trope is present, I'm realising that something I really enjoy is when a main character is secretly far more powerful than the people around them know. See also WWX, BBC Merlin, Odin when disguised as human in myths
Notably BBC Merlin often lacks the catharsis of people finding out, which is an important aspect

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did
You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

The problem with games which are very mechanically similar to visual novels but which were not created in ren'py or another visual novel-focused environment is that they tend to lack all the things that support trial-and-error gameplay and replaying in visual novels (eg skipping seen text, easy saving and loading)
If I have to both restart from the beginning and click through all the text again, I'm far less likely to replay for variable outcomes and fucking up the mechanical aspect is far more annoying if i have to start over from the beginning rather than load a save in order to try doing things a different way
I mean, I do like spiders
what?
I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other
taps the sign saying "primae noctis has never been a real thing, it's always been an urban legend about what people used to do in less civilised times. to the point that it plays that role in the epic of gilgamesh"

recently tried playing a visual novel-ish game with many interesting mechanics but unfortunately it has no stat raising which made me realise just how much I enjoy stat raising and resent its absence. why even play vn if no stat raising
So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
Give credit to the 30-year-old who worked on this for free and offers this service for free!
WHAT?!
I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
I use this and it’s fucken great. No bullshit. Really works. Sometimes the world is kind.
for some reason I really struggle to say "properly" without it sounding like "probably". like if i think about it i can but in a sentence it just gets muddled immediately
One fun thing about learning new languages is reconsidering the structure of words and language in your mother tongue. It seems with each new language I study, I get more little insights into English, either in how it's similar or how it's different.
For example, a couple years ago, while learning Spanish, I encountered the word for a store, "la tienda." I thought "huh, that's a lot like tener (tiene) - the word for store in Spanish literally corresponds to 'to have/keep'. How interesting!"
Then I stopped for a moment, and for the first time in my life, thought about seriously about the meaning of English word for the place where you buy things, "a store."

i find it wild how people STILL constantly refer to Zoe Quinn as a woman even though someone always jumps into correct them when it happens... if you're using she/her for them in 2026 have you read or watched anything anyone's said about gamergate in the last like decade...
The thing about the Hive is that I don't think it's hiding any sinister intentions - I think that its "good" intentions ARE its sinister intentions. The Hive has taken the "good" intention of never killing and made it so cartoonishly literal and shallow that it has lost any legitimacy as a truly moral imperative. Like, a definition of killing that includes picking apples is not morally coherent. Their "thou shalt not kill" ethos is leading to mass death, but who really gives a shit about people dying? Not the Hive! The important thing is that everyone agrees that killing is wrong and that everyone avoids doing the wrong thing. If that indirectly leads to a lot of people dying - oh well. 🤷♀️ Isn't the breaking of a few billion eggs worth it to have such a beautiful and moral Consensus? It's true that people will starve, but they'll do it with a smile on their face! Isn't an existence without conflict so wonderful, so correct?
The only thing that the Hive finds genuinely distressing is the existence of voices outside of the beautifully perfect Consensus. The fact that Carol disagrees with their premise is so highly distressful that the Hive starts self-destructing whenever she gets too forceful about it. The Hive can pretty easily bear the cost of mass death, but what it can't bear at ALL is criticism. The Hive thinks it solved the trolley problem when it's actually just refusing to engage in any meaningful way in issues of ethics and reframing its refusal as evidence of its inherent goodness. Because conflict = evil, therefore avoidance of conflict = good
