I feel like saying "Quirk Chungus" is a bit more embarrassing than being "Quirk Chungus"

honestly not slating anyone who sincerely doesn't like the new games, but I think the way in which 'f' and 'Townfall' approach / expand upon the themes of the original games is so thoughtfully done and miles away from the empty fan service / lore callbacks they could've been
if anything, townfall makes me more optimistic for the future of silent hill. i like the decisions they took: multiple POVs + technology in the (stealthy) gameplay. also fond of how they explored collective trauma through class tensions, industrial decline, corporate greed, etc

it's fascinating how times have changed because I was kind of cold on New Girl but watched three seasons of it out of the sheer force of my crush on Zooey Deschanel
watching the first episode of new girl, does it stop being so Quirk Chungus or is that just the tone of the show forever

amazing how it took boomers decades to get a grasp on shit like 'sending a text' and 'using microsoft word', but they picked up on AI almost immediately

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this what we create also creates us

Love that Konami suddenly decided to be cool out of literally nowhere
Konami president Hayakawa believes AI “won’t bring a significant change” to the game market. “Humans” and “creators” are crucial for developing innovative games automaton-media.com/en/news/…

The biggest and most laughable losers in my life are right wing. They take no accountability for their actions and attribute all their misfortune to racial others, god, women, etc. Any self-improvement is purely aesthetics meant for consumption or to get them to buy more shit.
How are any young men left wing I genuinely don’t understand

it was rumoured that Pynchon was doing research in Philly around silt compositions so he could accurately describe period era brick—in a book that also prominently features a talking dog.
Mason and Dixon is full of historical stuff that you basically do not see outside of primary sources and Mason and Dixon

and i hate this anti intellectual culture where you’re never allowed to admit that you know more about a topic or have more sophisticated taste than anyone else, in case you hurt their feelings. if you want to be a tastemaker in any art form you have to learn the history of it 🤷‍♀️
i hate when people act like watching older movies automatically makes their taste superior.
