Saw The Zone of Interest.

Esnupi and the boys

Watched Miike's Audition and Ichi the Killer tonight. Nasty, appalling (affectionately). Exceptional freaks in both.

got my mustang a little upgrade

Keine Labubus auf dem Essener Weihnachtsmarkt 😔

got the essayist starter kit

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions

while there's some truth re: personal biases, meeting a game *only* on its own terms nullifies the point of criticism as it requires you to be at least somewhat uncritical about the work in front of you.

Erster Tag mit 10mg Escitalopram, ich fühle mich, als könnte ich Gott sehen.

Sie ist da 🖤 (Fender Japan MG69 Mustang aus dem Jahr 2012, Candy Apple Red, Matching Headstock 😬)

Exakt drei Tage nach dem Kauf meiner letzten Gitarre hat ein Second-Hand-Dealer plötzlich eine extrem bezahlbare und gut erhaltene Kopie eines meiner (recht seltenen) Lieblingsmodelle gehabt, und, naja, morgen kommt dann noch ein Paket. 😬

Ein Höchstdauer von sechs Stunden.

mr. president, another emo stick has hit the collection

CROSSPOSTING THE TWITTER THREAD! MTG is currently suffering through the ugliest series of cards they've ever had. But I think YGO players can do better! How BADLY can you design the upcoming full arts? This is the bar:

The legendary hero 🎶

we should bring back a little gatekeeping

chainsaw man reze arc 👍

The "monstrous feminine" is a concept derived from Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection and further developed by theorist Barbara Creed, which argues that patriarchal societies construct the female body and its reproductive functions as terrifying and monstrous.

silksong's reviews tell a different story, chief

Hat zwar nur knapp ein Jahr gedauert, aber endlich einen Termin beim Psychiater bekommen 🥲

upon some more reading, i really need to get that autism diagnosis going. . .

Vom Elefanten im Raum mal abgesehen, warum braucht diese Ausschreibung drei selbstbeweihräuchernde Absätze, um zum Punkt zu kommen.

Between this and pieces using words like "fetishism" or "masochism", there's an article waiting about connecting the enjoyment of difficult games with sexual deviancy.

First speedrun trophy in Silksong ✅

about a thousand new think pieces about video game difficulty, and yet none i've read make a compelling argument for why it's a bad thing for an able-bodied person to just sit down and learn how to play a challenging game.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Fuck it, Bug Dimmadome

good video game. . .

Act II done 😬

maybe everyone forgot that hollow knight was hard because of all of the bouba-coded character designs. even the main guy is all small and round-like maybe silksong just feels harder because hornet is kiki

okay this seems like a good moment for this: do you guys think video games are art

THIS TIME FOR SURE!!!!

Ideologiekritik bis an ihre Grenzen strapaziert. Die viel spannendere Kritik am Genre wäre es, die Frage zu stellen, inwiefern die perfekten, konfliktfreien Simulationen den Umgang mit unserer Realität und enstprechend Gefühlen beeinflussen.

Frag mich, was passiert ist, dass ich als Werkstudent mittlerweile dabei helfe, neue Kolleg*innen erfolgreich einzuarbeiten.
