Maturing is realising that a lot of postmodernist theory rly is just internally contradictory gibberish

Quoting this so other ppl can see it. If you want to support indie devs the best way to do it is to review their games on Steam, because games get a visibility boost the more reviews they have. You don't need to write a long review for it to 'count' either, a single sentence is enough.

There’s certain genus of middle class, mostly American or Canadian, liberal who seems to believe that the masses picking up a book (by which they mean popular fiction; occasionally classics) will lead to some kind of utopia where everyone is an informed and highly conscientious liberal citizen

The beauty of Conrad is that it is fairly perceptible that he does not speak English as a first language but in such a way that does not at all diminish the elegance of his prose

That Dragon Quest 7 remake looks like the worst shit ever. Why would u want a remake that just removes a shit ton of stuff from its source material and treats this as a selling point

Problem with a good majority of children’s media since like the 90s being some sort of subversion or parody is that that shit is only actually interesting if you have a solid framework for whats being subverted which children by definition almost certainly dont

I think a lot of people who are very intelligent and perceptive more or less reject being consciously ‘rational’ mostly out of an insecure suspicion that logical thinking is for maladjusted geeks

People fixate over the idea of the casual meanspiritedness of Harry Potter as preemptive of Rowling’s current bigotry but honestly it’s entirely typical of british children’s literature

Look I’m all for Starmer resigning but a Wes Streeting or Rachel Reeves premiereship is liable to be even more disastrous

Seen like 5 very popular social media posts now that use Stephen Hawking being in the Epstein Files to say that disabled men in general are evil sexual deviants Not claiming that disabled men *can* do heinous shit (which is obvs true) but that they are significantly more likely do so than abled men

Was talking to a STEMlord who was for some reason v blatantly lying about ever have been clubbing before in his life n he described a club in our city as "like it's trying to sell you something" and when I said yeah that's what a business is he stared at me like I was attacking him w/ a chainsaw

I got a mullet and it makes me look like 5 times more attractive unfortunately #zoomer

Fast and Furious as a franchise is so fascinating to me bc all the movies after the 3rd one are retconned to be in the same universe as Better Luck Tomorrow, a random zero budget movie with infinitely more aura than any of the F&F films

While people are right to be concerned by the overwhelming prevalence of pedophilia broadly among the anglosphere elite I think the cultural fixation on sexual criminality as a quality principally belonging to the elite/Big Other has a tint of comforting denialism of the fact that there are a dozen

Reading probably the leading disability theorist (Lennard J. Davis) for college and his arguments are p poorly thought out in the classic twee 90s postmodern way which is a shame because disability is really a topic that ought to be written about a lot more than it is

I was demonstrating to an autistic guy how I get people to disclose way too much information about secretive shit

I’m like marty supreme

It’s rly bad that the default advice given online to people who r lonely or socially isolated is basically uhhhh maybe you’re a bad person cuz I feel like the actual reason people can’t make friends or date is mostly self-esteem lol

Didn’t like it. It’s very much Luhrmann-lite which is baffling since the hyperkineticism of something like R+J would have gone a long way towards selling the jazz age opulence

Until I started taking meds last year I was scared to go to bars+nightclubs because I was afraid Id get beaten up for being a loser if I went inside one

No longer unemployed cat... found job... at internet... website department... gwowwww...

A part that always stuck with me from The Great Gatsby that Ive not seen ppl discuss is when Nick goes into Gatsby's library and some drunk guy is awestruck that his books are real Before the advent of mass market paperbacks the nouveau riche would often order masses of empty/hollow books to

It's kind of a shame we don't even have the full manuscript of Night Train to the Stars even though it's one of the most famous stories in the japanese language. I don't know exactly how much is missing though

you know what yeah sure let's try the first one

Tsui no Sora Remake being a 2020 game that is still officially physical only, even with an upcoming re-issue, is kinda insane isn't

Nintendo fans r amazing because you can say some shit like "I hate donkey kong because my father abandoned me to speedrun DKC3" and they will take you at face value (actual twitter interaction I had)
