Kiera Wilmot made an honest mistake, but the police were trying to throw away her life with a felony. After the community stood up for the girl, the charges were dropped, and she was allowed to move on with her life. Well, her greatness is really starting to shine, as she was recently granted several extraordinary opportunities through scholarship offers she has received.

Shadow and Light
I recently posted a few songs to SoundCloud.
The first two are from my game Rock Bottom. Well, the second song is. We didn’t get around to including the first song. But if we do a sequel/expanded edition, it’s going in.
The second two are for my upcoming visual novel, Trigger. They’re not final product but are pretty much done.
Finally, here are two songs from my planned standalone album...

Original image by sd-stock.
My first foray into college did not end well. I knew my extreme poverty would pose a problem, but the common refrain in response to my situation was, “You don’t want to be stuck working at McDonalds, do you?” I heard it from friends, family members, and every mainstream media outlet. I caved to the pressure. I accumulated thousands of dollars of student loan...

TW: suicide, outing
A couple of days ago, a woman game developer attempted suicide on a live video stream following internet harassment related to an Indiegogo campaign for her game. While she lay in the hospital, Destructoid writer Allistair Pinsof, in the interest of clarifying her Indiegogo “scam,” outed her as a transgender woman on his Twitter account.

It is funny how often I’ve purposefully have ended relationship by using the ‘slowly drifting’ apart tactic.

Then there’s the people you try to quietly end friendships with that way and they just KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE.
I need to get better at this whole ‘frank communication’ thing.

Nintendo is patching a “bug” in Tomodachi Collection: New Life that allows male characters to engage in same-sex relationships. The company has announced an update will fix “human relationships that become strange” in its 3DS life simulation game.
Cool, so according to them gay relationships are “strange”.
Fuck you, Nintendo for this knowingly homophobic bullshit.
