WALK WITH ME!
WALK WITH ME:
Wander around with a woman while she discusses about how much she hates player feedback, how she's sad her online gay erotic roleplay/murder mystery scene is dead, and how the queer anarchist utopia project of her youth crumbled. Learn some valuable lessons along the way(?)
some meandering thoughts I had and wanted to put to paper but instead put to a unity scene for some godforsaken reason. At least it's not on a paper towel like last time.
WASD to move, space to jump, shift to slow down. Have fun.

the existential horror of trying to role play on computer with your friends
we could've had it all
More manifestos need giant pride flag bridges, box pushing, and cat drum and bass raves. New gold standard. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like the way you went on lots of mini rants and side tangents. Felt raw and real.
Thank you for reading (and pushing boxes, and cat raving)! Makes the sharing worth it. :)
I loved it. I'm going to steal this format for a presentation someday.
I look forward to walking through a manifesto with davecolors...
Very much feeling the atomization of it all. It's difficult to find and keep a grasp of community when they seem to be so ever-shifting, it's like jumping into a moving elevator and on the very next floor everyone rushes out except for The Grabber and The Gamer who tries to argue about laser guns with me
But maybe this is also just an issue with me not reaching out enough so idk lol, I hope there can be the togetherness and momentum necessary to let beautiful games take root and grow into something grand, instead of endless live-service hero-based marvel writing room somehow-both-sexless-and-half-naked gacha neuro-psycho-tortureware
I am also Very fond of the Portal radio cube, thank you for the compelling words and insights into tile-based furry-queer erp
Thank YOU for playing and also thank you for 'live-service hero-based marvel writing room somehow-both-sexless-and-half-naked gacha neuro-psycho-tortureware' I now have a (very long) word to describe something that has tortured me for the past few years
somehow there's something really nostalgic about reading a manifesto in a unity scene
it pisses me off constantly that people will get a good thing for free and just complain it isn't better, without realising how much energy goes in just to maintain it
i remember running into a mantra somewhere that now i say myself whenever this pisses me off: "who does the work calls the shots"
oh and i appreciate the catharsis of being able to end the manifesto by just jumping off a building lol
Yeah I'm sure it's not a unique issue to RP spaces but a common frustration I feel is like... wanting the community care without being willing to do the community work. Mutual aid or whatever? idk
also yeah placing the manifesto in a scene that had tall buildings had some unintended messaging but tbh i'm into it
