  • I remember some of these being posted here in this community! Especially the train one.

    As for the Pokémon-style one, I have unfortunately fallen hard into liking specifically the !pokemon@sopuli.xyz IP and its universe and characters and wanting to explore the Pokémon universe from different game genres. Becoming champion is all well and good, but a slice-of-life where you just befriend Pokémon and people, chill, and see more of how Pokémon are present in a more mundane life would be cool. As would be designing the towns and cities you go through in-game… I wonder how much this game will deliver on that fantasy while also not getting sued by Nintendo (because just because I have affection for that particular property that conveniently pushes Nintendo consoles doesn’t mean I am unaware of the bad things Nintendo’s done). From what I have heard some of the official Pokémon games they’ve been putting out have been at least dipping toes in different genres, though not usually quite as well as other games in the same genre because they count on the Pokémon brand to carry it through.








  • It is also something I also want to avoid as much as possible. I’d rather have the uncomfortable conversation with someone than ghost them and I have actually walked that walk before, having uncomfortable conversations I wanted to avoid in order to not ghost someone else. Just wanted to show empathy for people who do it and maybe provide an explanation to the rest of us wondering why others hurt us that way.


  • As a person who spent a lot of time feeling rejected and unsure of why people were happy to be my acquaintance but not my friend, never getting any explanation why I wasn’t good enough (the answer was undiagnosed autism and the trouble with social skills that comes with that), ghosting with no explanation hurts me in my soul.

    I get why people do it though. How do you know if it’s a person who was clueless to what their bad behavior and is desperate to have literally anyone tell them what they do wrong so they can change, or someone who will flip out and get violent or stalkery or super spiteful towards group members once ejected from the group? How do you know it will not spiral into some giant drama, especially if you were wrong or others disagree about if their behavior was objectionable? Conflict avoidance, whether for justified reasons or not, is very very common.
