HOTLINE 024/MOMO AND GOGO FANS COME GET UR JUICE

one of the coolest parts of Dracula Daily that I've come to appreciate is seeing posts from new readers excited to read Dracula (Daily) for the first time! now that we're coming up on the 3rd (well, 4th technically) year of Dracula Daily, you'd kind of expect readership to just drop off now that people have had their fun (which is perfectly fine btw). and its like, that's definitely happening and no year will compare to DD2022 and DD2023 (which had the advantage of Re: Dracula beginning its 1st year), so its still surprising to see new readers come in. People have already discussed DracDaily as a refreshing counter to the culture of binging-then-forgetting media, but it really does get more apparent with each run. Something about the fact that there are still new people interested in joining it past the initial meme/novelty of it is just, really nice! DracDaily is still kinda in its early stages though, so we'll only know how the fandom survives in like DD2025 probably, when even Re: Dracula will be in its 3rd run.

Welcome!! Enjoy the run, and I hope you'll stay. Its fun :)

oh....

This specific panel is so incredibly important to what this series really is meant to represent.. Cooking and eating something is a form of worship, love and also mourning!! The first time this really becomes evident is when senshi choses to eat annie and declines laioses help in dissecting her! Because to senshi this was his final act of love!! TO ANNIE A KELPIE WHO HE LOVED SOSO DEARLY!! He wanted to take on the responsibility of worshiping her one last time the way only he could!! Because leaving her to rot would be like throwing away his love and possibly starving his partyFSHFEGEYA GUYS IM NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS

oh....

Kinda funny how Vivian TTYD being a trans woman hinges on whether Beldam is a transphobe or not in the remake/remaster

Congratulations! Transphobia is canon!

To explain, in the Japanese localisation, the group is called the Shadow Sisters, while in the English version of the original game, they're called The Shadow Sirens. In the Japanese localisation, Vivian is misgendered and bullied because Beldam sees her as a "man", and doesn't consider her to be a part of the sisterhood.

The remake decides to follow the Japanese localisation a bit closer. Beldam is withholding calling the group "Shadow Sisters" because she doesn't consider Vivian to be one. Vivian being a trans woman is only ever confirmed because of Beldam's transphobia.

No yeah, this is good. Confirmed trans through tramsphobia is still representation, and you get to hit the transphobe with hammers and light her on fire and stomp on her head.

Like, I think characters should be allowed to be X-ist or Y-phobic as long as they're meant to be viewed as villains, or at least as long as those traits are meant to be viewed as negative parts of them.

Minor correction: it's not *just* Beldam's transphobia that confirms Vivian's being a trans woman; Goombella also has a Tattle Log for her, and what she says varies by version.

Here's what she says in the Japanese version:

Yikes! French and Spanish say something similar. Italian, however, is rather supportive:

Later, Goombella correctly genders Vivian, then "corrects" herself:

The Spanish and French versions translate this pretty faithfully, but Italian doesn't misgender her. (German, for its part, follows the same path as the English version, just erasing her transness entirely.)

So yeah! There's a bit more to it than just Beldam. Thanks to The Cutting Room Floor for these translations!

Happy GoChi Day!

honestly as a person with a severe set of migraine triggers that means i am physically unable to play or watch the majority of 3D video games… i really don’t think ‘every game should have enough accessibility features that anyone could play it’ is quite the take people think it is. obviously i think that devs should be adding in as many accessibility features as they can. but i also think that with stuff like Videogames where the medium and the message are so deeply dependent on each other, saying “the gameplay needs to be x in order to best convey the experience this is intended to convey as a work of art” is completely legitimate.

like, it reminds me a lot of the era of this website when shitting on academia for being ‘inaccessible’ was the big thing, and, rather than focusing on the socioeconomic factors that systemically bar people from academia, the priority was mocking academic language. And yeah obviously a lot of academic texts are denser than they should be, but there really was a point in time in this website when a bunch of teens and twentysomethings were wholeheartedly convinced that if something couldn’t be read by the layman it was because the author was either elitist or incompetent. but some stuff is created for specific audiences.

i think the vast majority of video games DON’T fall into this category - off the top of my head, there are very very few video games i can think of that would lose artistic integrity if they were “”easier”” to beat. difficulty and artistic integrity are both highly subjective as well. i just think that despite it being an outlier it’s just something that’s really worth thinking of, especially if you’re advocating for video games as a Legitimate Art Form. Art as a whole need be accessible. not every individual work of art needs to be. Video games as a whole need to be accessible. not every individual game needs to be. etcetera etcetera and whatnot. 

Either this post is conflating “accessibility” with “it had an easy mode” or you’ve mystified me completely.

What kind of artistic vision could possibly be hampered by…closed captions. Or text resize options. Or text to speech. Or button remapping. Or compatibility with multiple types of controllers. Or using more than color to convey important info. I could go on and on but you get the point.

i’m not conflating accessibility with easy mode at all. the confusion here isn’t that i’m using a narrower definition of accessibility than you are - i’m in fact using a much broader one. nothing you’ve listed there is anything i think would hamper artistic vision because nothing you’ve listed involves fundamentally changing the game’s design to allow it. i think those are all great options that as many video games as possible should strive to include. but although those are all very common accessibility options, that’s far from an exhaustive list.

you might get once i mean when i explain this a bit better

#also your premise confused me because#I know of no game that requires 3D mode to be switched on to play#and if there is it is indeed a shit game

every game that has 3d graphics required 3d mode to be ‘switched on’. when i say 3D i’m not talking about vr stuff, or 3DS games, i mean quite literally any game made with fully-modeled characters and environments. the vast majority of these games are fully off the table for me because of my migraine condition. although it’s an atypical one, this is an accessibility concern.

but what can be done about that? almost nothing, without going back and completely redesigning the game’s visuals from scratch. This is what I mean about accessibility sometimes come into tension with a game’s artistic vision. obviously this is not an accommodation that can be made. 

acting like accessibility in video games is a clear-cut issue that can be obtained by hitting everything on a checklist of features ignores both the diversity in types of video games and in types of disabilities a person may have.

how accessible can you make dance dance revolution before it stops being dance dance revolution? could you make a version of a multiplayer racing game that’s as fair for players with poor hand-eye coordination and reaction time as it is for the fully abled players they might be playing against? if someone is dyslexic, and has trouble reading for long stretches of time or at all, should all text-base games be fully voice acted no matter what that might do to the budget or pacing?

I don’t intend these types of questions to be a “gotcha” that says ‘since fully accessibility is impossible, accessibility doesn’t need to be a concern’. rather, this is a topic i care about a lot, so i think it’s worth discussing in a way that doesn’t pretend accessibility only looks like one set of things. 

@post-uwuifer is maybe the funniest blog on the platform rn bc it’s obviously a bot 90% of the time and sometimes the owner logs in and responds to reblogs manually, but if you suspend your disbelief just enough it leads to the much funnier conclusion that it’s a bot 100% of the time and its responses are evidence that the algorithm has gained sentience but can only communicate through uwuified tumblr posts

I hate to wuin da fun but uh

it’s aww 100% manuaw💀

tanks fow da pwaise tho UwU

I am sorry but this being completely manual is like 1000x scarier than it being a 100% bot.

good.

oh my god guys holy shit fnf update after 3 godamn years. pico i missed you sm.

PLAY IT (newgrounds). PLAY IT (download).

what in the ai hell

People in notes mentioned a video, and here it is:

Aww they used to just be photoshopped and now they’re AI!

Seed scams use fake photos to sell seeds. This scale has existed for YEARS, with some of the oldest Jasc Paint Shop Pro manips on the internet being the bright blue watermelons, strawberries and roses generated for this scam.

Because you have to wait for weeks until even normal seeds “work”, and months before they “flower,” there are no negative consequences to the sellers; you’ll time out of your consumer rights, lose interest or lose steam, or simply forget about it long before you ever complain. They, for their part, can simply change the name of their online storefront. The cost is low enough that people won’t retaliate (about $20) and gardening is such a black box of skill anyway that normal people may even blame themselves for not getting the desired result. after all, even experienced gardeners - and legitimate seed sellers - don’t bother much with refunds for seed failures. At most you write a review saying it was a disappointing variety, and the seller sells a different variety next year. So even people who know what they’re doing wouldn’t bother with consequences, which is why the scam is evergreen.

AI does drastically increase the ability to generate appealing images for free, but the scam is the same. 

You do receive seeds in this scam, but apparently they are just generic flower  seeds. A Redditor who ordered them drunkenly apparently had them ID’ed as pansy or petunia seeds.



yes I made this. for Reasons.
