* Some people are upsetti spaghetti with ArenaNet for posting in support of Roe. "Games shouldn't be political". Because, GW2 isn't political. I am just here working on the Fascist Flattener achievement and farming a strike mission where we take out a leader from the Ministery of (racial) Purity. The core GW1 story is about finding out that your generic fantasy town is colonial and was made by eradicating the natives.
All games are political. For games like Minecraft it takes some analysis, others give daily rewards for ridding neighborhoods of fascists.
* KiScon, the Kirk/Spock con is going to be online in 2022 in November. I might do that. There is a high chance I'll run into one or two people I'd rather not run into, but it's virtual so not really a huge deal. Someone who I have blocked on every social media platform and who even made new accounts to contact me has been to KiScon before, which is why I've never followed what's going on with that con. She likes to intensely latch onto people and be very controlling and has... ahistorical ideas regarding race. She seems cool if you know her only casually, but like if she gets close she becomes scary, intense and shouty. So, if there is ever a time to give that con a go, it's this year! And now that they've got a discord maybe I can scope out whether she's likely to be at any physical cons, if they happen again, and could go. If I had a connection to even one person in that scene, going would be 1000x more feasible. So them being online could be really good for me.
And also if it turns out that despite all my blocking she knows my default Discord nick... that would be good to know. My default Discord nick is my GW2 main's name, and has 0 relation to any any other nick I use. I just use it in Discord because I use Discord for raiding and am often lazy about changing it to anything else.
... I should go register and then attempt to actually be productive this evening, something I've been critically failing to go for days.
