I was really profoundly obsessed with Para Mexer off this album for a month back in 2017 or so, it was all I'd listen to.

This track goes insanely hard, don't know why it didn't click with me at the time.

(Also Air Chrysalis is a 1Q84 reference, didn't have the context the first go-round)

Do your civic duty and stay there til 2028

What does ↕️ mean in this context?

Date Nighto was a platform for visual novels that hosted Hustle Cat, Starfighter, and We Know The Devil, through which you could make purchases and such, but that platform has silently disappeared off the web, meaning all those purchases have ceased to be, I guess? I was really surprised to find absolutely no reporting on this. The games are still around, just on steam and itch, but there was no license transfer process afaik or even a warning

Oh it's the millennium challenge 2002 report from Van Riper! that's cool, it's not even overlong.

I get the impression that he hated the exercise design and wanted to emphasize that fact as much as possible, seems much more like a treatise on simulation design than on war

It's remarkable how polarising The Substance is. It has some strengths, like the early body horror scenes are good, but I really didn't like it and the longer I sit with it the less I like it. It seems like there's a lot of folks who went apeshit for it though

holy cow, I'm back in the trenches again

Haven't had a new pop album in my life since Silk Sonic. I need someone new who can write a damn bridge

I also got pinged by an unknown user but the username was clearly some kind of sex thing so I think it wouldn't have been very interesting

It's a good ass article

I'm so annoyed. he used to make really good Dominions content

I should get an apron for my kitchen that says "do not tell me how to cook"

perfect way to fuck with adam jensen

Does this mean eating uranium is sufficient for adopting the term "queer"

I hate scribbling down a concept for a narrative and realising it has a pinch of homestuck in it

I didn't make it all the way through the show but I do remember thinking the character-writing was really strong, particularly the way Minori is evasive when it comes to matters of the heart.

You need to try introducing them to theory in an innocuous and emotionally unchallenging way. Try playing Immortal Technique on your phone speaker

What a loss.

I check in with Maximilian Hess from the FPRI every now and then. I don't think he's right about most things but he's a true believer and very invested in what he believes.
