  • Reading Joan Didions "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" about California in the 60s was fantastic, but reading "The White Album" about the 70s is one the most excruciating thing I've ever had the distaste of reading. Reactionary as fuck

  • Call me judgemental and snobbish or whatever but there's something seriously pathological wrong with our collective psyche when terrible music like hardstyle gets more and more popular. There's something so incredibly dull and blunt about that shit I just genuinely can't fathom what kind of state of mind you'd need to be in to listen to that shit sober, or why you'd ever want to get so high as to want to listen to that shit

  • It doesn't fucking matter what they do, there's simply no one who is going to stop them, the more they break the less likely it is for any opposition to actually form. They're three steps ahead of us, even if they themselves don't know it.

  • Started feeling like my mood was slipping but I stead of doom scrolling or binge eating I got my guitar out and played a few simple songs for like half an hour. Might have to start doing this regularly, playing guitar is just a cool and fun thing to do, even when you only play the most simple of songs.

  • The Starfield persuasion minigame is like almost just as bad. The way that one works is that you have multiple dialogue options that each have a percentage of success attached to them, with the more likelier ones giving you less "persuasion points" and you need a certain amount of those points to win a persuasion check. So it's just a roulette wheel of saying dumb inconsequential stuff and once you said enough dumb inconsequential stuff you succeed.

    They didn't even write any good or actual arguments, there's literally a quest in the game that consists entirely out of you trying to convince two people to invest in Company A instead of Company B. And instead of you as the player actually making any arguments, your character just says "Company A makes better and cheaper products than Company B".

    Bethesda is so fucking baffling. Like do the people working there actually know how a conversation work? Watching that Oblivion announcement almost made me worry for them, with them talking about how much love and care they put into Oblivion. Like is this really what love is means for them? Should I call somebody? What is going on here?

  • I really don't think Severance is in any way about labor, the people behind it are just too Hollywood to have any interest in that. It's a mystery box show, the severance procedure is a plot device and the office setting is just the only setting they could think within.
