Now you’re just screwin’ with me
Six more community awards on Steam. This is hilarious.
Made me scrutinize my 26 friends. I see Skandia Recluse hasn’t logged onto Steam in 11 years. Gosh.
Worryingly, Ermine hasn’t logged on in 50 days. That’s not like him at all. Dude played enough Skyrim to apply for citizenship. Surly, you okay buddy?
I haven’t played any games in ages, myself. It’s summer. I’ve spent every minute I could sitting in the garden.
But now that cold weather is coming, I have been checking out digital amusements again. This VR experience is mildly hilarious: “A virtual reality project in Spain allows visitors to experience the episodes of daily discrimination suffered by lesbians, gays and transgender people.”
Headline: “12 minutes in the skin of a victim of LGBTphobia.” The illustration shows a woman sitting passively in a chair, so it’s – what? Twelve minutes of people walking past giving you the stink-eye?
Okay, the T I’ll give you – they probably get treated to lots of hairy eyeball in a typical day.
But how does anybody know you’re LGB unless you’re doing the naughty right there in front of everyone? Eh. Maybe it’s applying for home mortgages from bigots or something. Sounds riveting.

I spent some time trying to find the LGBTphobia project on Youtube or elsewhere online. ‘Worthy’ video game projects tend to be hilariously bad. They’re designed to look appealing to grant-givers on paper, but they naturally don’t attract top talent to actually produce the thing, so the final product always looks stupid.

Man, I’ve got to fix that SSL issue. Those warning messages are spooky.

Wow, even this project’s people discriminate against the bisexuals: they left the Bs off their list.
BTW, for years I’ve been waging a spectacularly unsuccessful campaign to get people to stop using the standard string of letters, which cannot easily be pronounced as a word, and instead to use GBLT, pronounced same as “giblet”. Just to toss in a little mild ridicule, don’t you know. “Those stinkin’ giblets are agitating for even more reverse discrimination in their favor!”

I sent you one. They can be sent even if you’re not “friends” yet.

I should give you my points too, they’re getting stale.

I don’t know which of the 26 you are, durned.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
