Wandering Adventure Party

What kept me on Windows for a long, long time were games like Star Wars Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II.

Which has only ever been officially released on Windows.

No Mac release. No Linux release. Not even a console release.

But now, through the magic of Proton, I’m playing this great classic on Bazzite. And it really is amazing.

I’m a privileged cis white man, and yet—despite being active on the Fediverse—very few people have ever called out my privilege, even when it’s plainly visible.

But yesterday, someone went out of their way to call out my Asian wife’s supposed privilege… based on nothing more than the fact that she’s visited Hong Kong a few times.

It’s a strange choice. She’s not even on here. I am.

PSA: Don’t ambush someone with talk about their dead relatives on social media.

Up until today, I had no issues with this person. Then, out of nowhere, they started pontificating about how my wife is supposedly “disconnected” from her ancestors—a week after we buried her grandfather.

I asked for a little decency. Instead, she doubled down.

There’s nothing admirable about using someone’s grief as a platform to push your identity politics, especially when you have zero connection to their family. There’s a time and a place for these debates. This wasn’t it.

@Babcia54 This isn’t a mere random person—she was someone I was consistently talking to for three years. In a way, I was trying to salvage a friendship by creating a solid boundary.

But the other thing is, l don’t understand what she gained from this whole exercise. 🤯

People are still arguing with me about something that happened nearly two years ago. Most of it is hearsay—not facts.

So let me be clear: I don’t exclude queer people. I exclude racists.

And being queer doesn’t exempt anyone from being racist.

If someone says, “This person is racist,” the correct response isn’t, “Well, that person is homophobic.” The correct response is, “Let’s investigate—regardless of who made the accusation.”

And if the accuser is a homophobe? Then we look for patterns. Repeated behaviour. Not just one screenshot.

Otherwise, we’re not doing justice—we’re just picking teams.
