Gamer since Pong, I enjoy video games as a modern form of mythology/storytelling. I've blogged about Final Fantasy on LJ, DW, Tumblr, and my own site since '06.

I have sent this to a few friends and family members who were thinking about abandoning solidarity and risking their and their communities' health. It has actually changed a couple of minds. Mind, these were people still on the fence. msteenhagen.medium.com/loath…

I'm engaging in a lot of encounters lately where people see me masked and ask "oh should I grab a mask?" And I know it comes from a good place, but it can be really exhausting. Why? Let's talk about access labor. 1/10

Access labor cannot ONLY be done by disabled people. We need you to alt text images, automatically turn on captions, host virtual/hybrid events that ENGAGE us. We need you to plan for us so we don't have to ask again and again for permission to inhabit the same space. 8/10

Life can be hard. When it is, remember, black vultures are monogamous and form strong family units. Happy Valentines.

Sharp Pixels vs. PS1 Composite via Sony KV-13M51
Lots of interesting observations here. Zidane's eyes look more detailed in the raw image, but the impression feels more natural on the CRT.

Sony KV-14AF1 CRT vs Emulation
I have to share this example as it is one of my favorites. The difference in Terra and Sabin in particular is just incredible, going from pixel art to appearing nearly hand drawn.

It's not lost on me just how many of the folks who follow and contribute to this blog are trans and nb. I just want to take a moment today to say trans rights are human rights and I really appreciate all of you.

If you follow me, but not @ruuupu1, you've played yourself. They consistently make my absolute favorite comparisons. They're on break, but when they get back y'all better be following.
