I love the end of the semester bc it means I finally have time to play my train game <3

please, god, I’ve never wanted anything more than this

New post! This week I’m digging into the influential denpa novel Shinkou Shuukyou Omoide-Kyou, my long relationship with Japanese harsh noise, and what to do in a world overrun by poisoned radio waves. Check it out!!

love to think about the temporality of trains roryaych.bearblog.dev/8-perspectiv...

dad at the playground who pulled out FR24 to check what type of plane it was 2 seconds after I did: we are spiritually connected. lmk if you need a babysitter.

Had fun speedrunning the Barcelona Metro while I was there! 3h 40m :) All lines (including L9/10 nord AND sud), any% stations. Got some terrible RNG with the L8 frequencies, and missed my last train by 3s, but otherwise was pretty smooth

I'm bloggin! Trying to get back into writing more casually, so I threw together some thoughts on Little Miss Sunshine. Rough and raw and barely-edited, but I like how it turned out :) roryaych.bearblog.dev/you-cant-fly...

"why did you become a writer" because no one gave a shit about my special interests growing up. now i make them everyone else's problem. next question

Awesome interview! Really cool to see someone having so much fun with their work and their inspirations

We're getting closer.

I appreciate that reading Susan Sontag and Walter Benjamin gives genuine stat improvements in Perfect Tides. Makes me more optimistic about my own major

GIFT ARTICLE (no paywall). Masterpiece reporting here from Adam. He deserves awards for this. “This is my first occupation,” Olsen said as I climbed into the truck. “Welcome to the underground, I guess.”

We are winning.

Was waiting until Monday to post this, but fuck it. Solidarity with all of those fighting these fascists in Minneapolis and throughout the country.

I’m starting a petition for there to be no more secondary enemies in boss fights. Fight me one-on-one or not at all, you bastard.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

coming out of hiding tonight to say that if you've not experienced Strangereal... man... do it. don't even wait. play Ace Combat 7 now. literally this second.

extremely sharp thoughts on horses and the discourse around it, from harper

Some winter transit from the past couple weeks <3

SURPRISE! New video!! Had a lot of fun talking about an oft-overlooked ghibli movie & what it can teach us about laughing at fascism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpKn...

I organize my music by what type of transit it reminds me of (ex: subway, 737, Shinkansen) and my friend gave me an epiphany today :

Missed exactly when it happened but I now have this many subscribers !

House of Leaves author coming to my local bookstore… sometimes you just stay winning!!!

Supposed to make a 1-2m film for my video production class... anyway rough cut is 19m send help!!!

Next video planned !! This was actually a super fun method, I will be trying this again

The key to a good academic paper is to open with “What’s up gamers” Then move onto a webster’s dictionary definition of your topic. And finally close with “but of course, I had the last laugh.”

“Man, there’s no WAY American’s 100th anniversary livery is cooler than Lufthansa’s!” The American Airlines 100th anniversary livery:

Inside you there are two wolves.

A part of the next video (which I have been planning since a year ago and working on this whole past month) has proven to be more than I can manage right now. I’m gonna have to shelve the whole video, maybe until next summer :(

Just discovered an amazing and beautiful archive milwaukeeroadarchives.com/IndexPage.htm

Next video is coming along…

I’ve got a fun piece in here about the How to Train Your Dragon BOOKS, which no one ever knows about but are fantastic <3

Releasing silksong two days after classes start is gonna tank everyone’s fall grades

New DaVinci update added ten million new things… god bless this software being free <3

really should be no other questions for microsoft published games this week

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Uh oh! UH OH! OH NO!

Stickers on my bike!! Plus a fascinating bell I found.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Wrote about AI, and the way we talk about it all having the quality of a ghost story. open.substack.com/pub/houseofm...

About half of my videos disappear too. "Politics of Control" has a big section about being trans... The rest I would chalk up to violent gameplay, but "Movies That Commit" has a ton of John Wick footage, so it can't be that. Feels random.

Devastating news: I have had to delete the line "Would the NTSB be good at Dark Souls?" in my most recent draft :(((

Time clock dragon from Wicked I love you

Fighter jets should not be allowed to rehearse shows when the cloud layer is below 1000 Ft AGL. Not because it’s unsafe but because then I can’t see them and it makes me sad :(
