The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

In the book, my essay “The False Evolution of Execution Methods” will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolina’s death row for over twenty years.

You're Not Overthinking It SIGNED | Jacob Geller
You’re Not Overthinking It sees Jacob Geller return to his extensive archive of video essays to obsessively re-examine his past work, picking through his scripts with a fine-tooth comb and pulling apart each decision that led to the videos’ creation and how his feelings — and/or the world — have changed since they were first published. This second instalment isn’t exclusively about video games, but instead sees Jacob look to some of his darker and more mature essays through the lens of art, politics, history and philosophy, thinking through and re-evaluating his work on everything from execution methods and our fear of the dark, to architecture designed for violence, infinity, and head transplants.

One of the bits of the new book I'm most excited about is the afterword for "The Shape of Infinity" -- because it's a full, 10-page visual short story by artist Richard Blake. I'm aiming to have at least a dozen times in the book that you turn a page and go "oh holy shit"

Lots of quotes rightfully being shared from this article, I'm particularly struck by this one. "In the late 19th century and much of the 20th, this country’s most storied intellectuals transfigured hate-mongers into heroes and ignored their words—just as, right now, some are ignoring Kirk’s."

There are so, so many cool people contributing to this new book and I'm trying to not just spam everyone's feed... so instead I guess I'm just going to be doing regular info drops for a month like Smash Dojo or something.

In a landscape with so many incredibly tightly-designed metroidvanias, Silksong's exclusion of quality-of-life features is not an oversight!! It is essential to understanding the game!

I think my favorite insight in this piece is in how it considers annoying design decisions diagetically. an exploitative religious economy, charging the devout to use a bench, skimming off the top when they want to save their rosary beads, etc

There's that scene in Devs where the quantum computer shows a room full of people a video of one second in the future and they can't stop themselves from repeating it, and that's how I feel about the projectile anticipation in Silksong. HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS GOING TO BE THERE??

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!
