ok doctor gave me some stuff to try to help with the severe fatigue. if any of you would like to tip my tip jar because you like my articles or think I shouldn't have to be barely alive paypal.me/stompsite my articles are on docseuss.medium.com for $7500 i'll stream and write about undt/deltar

you cannot convince me that there is value in numerically grading art

once you start thinking about it, it's both fascinating and disturbing how much sci-fi/fantasy fiction seems to recognise that bigotry is bad, but also can't seem to fathom the idea that bigotry might not be rational

it's becoming increasingly clear that there are a lot of people whose support for/belief in a cause only lasts as long as it's not inconvenient for them

what sort of weird corporate innuendo is "a new and completely engaged generation of fans"?

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

No party campaigned on age verification. Nobody the US voted for this. Nobody the EU voted for this. Nobody the UK voted for this. Nobody in Australia voted for this. Some don't even know it's happening. Meta lobbied for this and got their way within a few years. Let this radicalize you.

falling to my knees like the end of planet of the apes

the amount of legendary studios that have been fed to the gaping maw to be support studios for battlefield of call of duty is crazy. they're not even good battlefield or cod games. the corpse of raven software is holding up the world like atlas to put maps in black ops 7

reminder that age verification is a "yes" or "no" box that can be ticked in response to the question "are you at least 18 years old". anything else is surveillance

xbox making business decisions with all the logic of a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum

i'm really not a figure collector (no judgement to those who are though) and have basically no money but fie is one of my favourite trails/kiseki characters and i'm so tempted by this

tv shows were a thing you watched once a week for half a year and then the next year you'd do it again and now you binge 4 hours in a weekend and then wait 3 years for the next 4 hours and they write it for you to barely pay attention anyway and they wonder why they have no cultural staying power

no game has ever NEEDED a remake, what games need is proper preservation

do you ever have the moment of self-awareness of realising that you're just smart enough to understand that you're stupid?

Every time I see someone accuse preservation of "just being piracy" I have to ask...what does preservation mean to you? A single copy of it sitting in a museum somewhere, trapped in amber? Inaccessible, unplayable, but Preserved, at least not Lost Media? What do you think preservation means?

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

I am not made for Capitalism. Every relationship I have feels cheapened and dehumanized by the exchange of money. Everything becomes a hollow experience because it is meted out by an arbitrary quantification of worth. It makes me feel as if the only true emotion or relational value is exploitation

sometimes i lose interest in a series the moment the original creators/creative team move on, and sometimes i'm curious and kinda excited to see how far beyond reason a franchise can be pushed

Absofuckinglutely. Decorum is a tool of the oppressor. They wield it to better squash the passionate, compassionate, and emotionally engaged individual ; whilst letting the truly evil roam free, as long as they maintain the appearance of propriety.

apparenty it's time for the biannual sex scene discourse again

when someone talks about a character with flaws and deep-seated issues and whether or not they're "redeemable" or "worth saving"

Steam Summer Sale is in full swing, so here's your regular reminder that if you have a computer, any computer at all really, even just a 10 year old potato-ass laptop, you can buy a TON of really good old games for DIRT CHEAP instead of blowing $70 on a single modern AAA game.

I actually don't think writers owe you lore for every mysterious side character and plot thread. Sometimes you just need a cool thing to speculate on, it's good for the imagination.

there's something actually so fucked up about the increased serialisation of modern storytelling when juxtaposed against the companies that "own" those stories becoming increasingly eager to drop them on a whim. everything is now just unresolved plot threads and aborted sequel bait

I think it’s important to keep talking about children and social media, but I also think that debate is a cover for what these laws are really about: surveilling the entire population online

OBSESSED WITH THIS

it's honestly starting to feel like the major game companies are all in on some kind of psyop to stop people playing video games

the ps3 may have no games, but the xbox about to have no games AND no studios to make them

nothing is certain except death, taxes and game industry layoffs

"It's not that deep" Yes it is that deep. You're just an intensely boring person and I refuse to let you make that my problem.

Cops use AI. We use our hands.

My hot take is only going to media for escapism is starving yourself of so much good and necessary art. You cannot sustain yourself this way.

Sharing the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto once again to remind everyone that bisexuality was NEVER binary

we need to ban people from saying they're doing things "for the fans"

is resident evil 4 the horniest resident evil?

I support women's rights and more importantly, women's wrongs

god i miss when racing games were just a bunch of tracks and a playlist of nu metal songs

shame that sony have said they're no longer doing pc ports, cos god of war laufey is a game i would almost definitely play if they put it on pc, but there's pretty much no way i'm buying a ps5 for it

not gonna pretend i'm not sceptical about them making tomb raider 1 AGAIN, but i at least appreciate that they made everyone hot

raytracing is honestly so over-ray-ted

the further through the trails/kiseki series i get, the more retroactively dissapointed i become in sky 1st chapter remake's localisation
