There's gay and there's GAAAAAYYYY. 

So, one of the Best Buy stores here has the arcade 1up Mortal Kombat machine...it was setup and on too so I played for a few rounds..at least used Scorpion's fatality on the first opponent.... .it was good to finally hear that particular bass "downward shift"(?) sound that hits *after* the word "Fatality."... which is missing from all the home versions:
It annoyed me for many years that you just don't hear that cool sound^ in the SNES or Genesis versions....I don't recall it being anywhere else either; just the arcade. (which doesn't make sense--- surely that isn't something that's beyond the audio capability of a SNES...or other systems?!"  Genesis' audio is inferior but...no other systems?!)
 
Anyway, this arcade machine has always been a tough call for me... though I enjoyed those games, that series is truly just fun against other people, since the Mortal Kombat AI is notoriously a cheating piece of shit, designed that way as part of the usual arcade scam shenanigans (*just design the ai of a game to basically cheat the player in various ways so you can try to force as much money out of them as possible) back in the day.  Funny thing is that even in the home versions it was still loaded with cheap bullshit, so it was always a game that's only fun against other people...never solo vs. the cpu-controlled characters.

 On other news, finally started watching The Wire since I heard so much about it but never actually seen it before. So far so good.

I think a lot of the funding is coming from organizations tied to the pharmaceutical industry who see HRT, gender reassignment surgeries and other trans adjacent surgeries and medical tech as the next big profit frontier.
 
This article has some information about who is funding a some of these initiatives. JB Pritzker, who is the governor of Illinois and who has a trans sibling, his family owns a lot of stake in companies doing trans-related medical research and technology. From the article:

Super Mario Bros movie has officially topped Frozen 2 as the biggest opening ever for for an animated movie.
This is actually pretty crazy.  I thought this movie would do well  but this?  Wonder how far it'll go.  The fact that this has made this much money thus far though is an amazing sign for the future.  Nintendo dipped their toe in the water and now I wouldn't be surprised if they just cannonballed completely in now. 

I think it's a combination of the film not being catered to them and the movie being unabashed about what it is more than likely.  The critics are in the dark for the most and this movie helps very little to ease them in to anything so they don't understand and it frustrates them.  I actually just finished watching it for the 2nd time tonight and I still loved the movie just about as much as I did the first time watching it.  The plot is simple and you just let the movie whisk you away without having to think too hard on anything.  It's not perfect but I gotta say I wish the Sonic movies were closer to how this Mario movie was...they did SO much right with it.

i bugged dead cells today. i called out the cat and serenade sword skill at the same time at the cell shop between levels. and it triggers a "cutscene" but i jumped mid air when i called the cat out and it froze my game.
also, if u have the cat on your shoulder while wearing invisible amulet the cat turns invisible too on your shoulder. interesting.
ps
kings sceptre is really good against hand of the king boss. he managed to hit me only once while i pogo stick on his ass.

I was very effeminate presenting from about 16 to 26. not necessarily doing drag but pretty androgynous (more in line with rock stars like Bowie and Prince than Rupaul), never once did I consider that I was a woman or even wanted to be one. Many gay men and women are like this. Hell many straight men and women enjoyed and presented with androgynous aesthetics and mindsets.

What's going on now sadly could be seen from one lens as an extreme form of conversion therapy, where young impressionable and confused gay, bi, and lesbian kids (who probably don't feel comfortable in their skin because EVERYONE DID NOT FEEL SECURE IN THEIR SKIN AT THAT AGE!!!) are being subjected to the wrong conclusions and therefore going along with the wrong decisions.

I think in a few years there will be a huge backlash and thousands of detrans cases emerging.

An important question to ask is who and why is this being pushed so loudly? Who is funding this ideology because more than 90% of the gays and lesbians in my life do not agree with this. We didn't even go to Pride last year because of how stupid it has become with all these bandwagoners and KIDS.

Well there is a distinction that needs to be made.

Traditionally, the LGBT formed as it was because heterosexual society made no distinction between trans men/women and LGB, we were pooled together and treated equally shit. So our fight for freedom was one. This was all fine and dandy until about 6-8 years ago the movement was pretty much hijacked IMO by the QIA+ becoming the LGBTQIA+ all of sudden and flooded media with the Trans and Gender ideology (the stuff with 100 genders and pronouns).

Growing up if you were a feminine guy you were just that, and being a tomboy just meant that for girls. These are personality/character traits. So the way all of this was suddenly repackaged and sold to gen Z was nothing short of shocking.

This is when the bandwagon "trans kids" started showing up, they are predominantly middle-upper class white girls who self-identify as Trans (without a clinical diagnosis mind you). When once upon a time being Trans quite literally implied transitioning between the binary, now it has become a type of Pokémon to be collected by a bored and idle generation. 
 
This entire thing seems to be beginning to wind down a bit due to backlashes from all sides but it has been a great disservice to LGBT people from previous generations who wanted nothing more than to stand side by side with heterosexuals with pride instead of shame.
 
What's worse is that this thing has also turned the suffering of actual Transsexuals (people who have the chronic mental condition known as gender dysmorphia) into a joke on display.

Oh man...he really brought this up unironically?  Oooooooo....

When you tell an entire room you didn't pay attention to the movie. 

Bullshit. If you were part of the LGBT you would know that we don’t walk away… We sashay away.
 
These bandwagon homos are the problem. Smh

You don't like cats?

MEME MONDAY! Bean edition! 
 

Company hit me with the "We wish you the best in your future endeavors"  WWE line when I quit. Nice 🤣

Day 1 of training to be a VIP tour guide for the mouse. Day 1 of 9 we'll see how I do. 

Started a new dev project that I'm really gonna try with cos I think I might have something if it all goes to plan. It doesn't have a name yet but it's a survival horror RPG heavily inspired by Suspiria, The Beyond, the Giallo genre,  ResEvil, Punch Out and Undertale. Getting more of a grip on things with programming and how Godot works in general and it's a lot of fun. Lot's of placeholder stuff and things not even implemented but it's going pretty well and I'm hoping I can have a demo/prologue out by halloween.
 
 

R.Kelly left a void.

He should become a Cardinal or a Bishop. He'd fit right in with the Catholics.  🤡
