I was playing a copy of an N64 Star Wars game with my friend’s daughter. She’d never seen an N64 game before and said “Wow! It’s Star Wars Minecraft!”
That moment made my day, I’m never giving up video games.

Yeah, I can understand how it’s easy to get burnt out having to give an explanation every time for why a character is the way they are, it’s exhausting. There are so many challenges to fantasy writing but that shouldn’t be one of them.
Hope you can keep writing awesome characters and stories!
I’m not asking you to curb your imagination. I’m saying you don’t have the right to tell other people how they want to see themselves or disabled characters in fantasy settings, if you’re gonna be rude about it.

Hi. I have a mild physical disability, and this point comes up quite a lot in different settings, including fantasy fiction. “If such and such is a fantasy setting, why does character simply not be disabled?” Is something many able bodied people like to assume.
Without going into how hurtful it is to assume that what all of us want is to be “able bodied”, you’re basically taking away a person’s agency to tell a story about themselves as they are. And there are many stories to be told!
So instead of trying to use logic to negate these kinds of characters from stories and fantasy settings, I challenge you to expand your own definition of what’s possible. There’s plenty of room for all of us.
Y’all remember when Lemmy was like nothing but bean memes for a week? Those were good times.
Technically they didn’t block it enough, you can still read the company name. Advertisers will love it even more because it will circulate social media. I hate this game.
Sure, but consider this: the ones who travel and say “I’m from America” sound like boneheads, and ones who say “I’m from the US” sound more thoughtful.
