So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

Uma das coisas que eu sempre tive, mas a vida adulta me trouxe em dobro, é estar envolvido em uma treta com gente enrolada ou fazendo corpo mole e pensar AH MAS EU NÃO VOU ME ESTRESSAR SOZINHO. ESSA BAD SERÁ SOCIALIZADA

Eu sempre acho muito engraçado ver essas coisas porque o carioca realmente é desbocado e tem lapsos de parecer que tá puto, mas as pessoas que eu conheço que falam mais alto são TODAS paulistanas. Sem exceção.

Yup. It's also the crux of the TTRPG community. Everyone is a GM and is used to hacking systems, so they figure they're already professionally good at GD and writing.

I am honestly considering finding a tank build that works just so I can drag the fights longer and actually stop to enjoy the amount of detail and care that illustrators, musicians and animators put into it.

There are bosses that look incredible, with movesets that are gorgeously animated but you can't take any time to appreciate it because you either solve the fight in seconds or the boss two-shots you and you can't enjoy it either way.

There is 01 criticism I have to the base game that is still quite valid in the Elden Ring DLC: The game would benefit a lot from bosses dealing a bit less damage.

I've made peace with the fact that "straight" and "cis" are sometimes used to indicate a specific demographic and not gender/sexuality, which is ok. That said, yeah, turning every man that tries to develop an inclusive and positive masculinity into a subject of fanfic is disheartening 😞

Do you feel like the DLC did the same? The whole Miquella pilgrimage felt like a very nice moving on from the fully environmental you-dont-matter-and-everything-has-already-happened storytelling to me. Kinda like Sekiro actually.

I wouldn't say it was planned, but of course once they find out, if they haven't already, about the mini dopamine kicks you get for each image following your prompt more or less they were gonna use it as a marketing strategy.

Bibliophile drama: Looking to get physical copies of the Southern Reach books by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social but with Absolution coming up I'm afraid of a re-release with covers looking more like the GORGEOUS new one 😂 and I say that with love, the original trilogy also has gorgeous covers.

You know what used to create world-class talent? The post-war Keynesian consensus that saw properly funded art schools, regional theatres, and arts labs, and a reasonable social safety net that meant working class people could take risks and not starve or become homeless.

This happened with the Spanish flu, too—it’s not present in almost any of the notable art made in the years after it. And, like, of course it’s not. Art isn’t made to be a beat-by-beat retelling of real life, and artists very commonly deal with trauma and disaster of many kinds obliquely.

Watching Disco Elysium news again and I can't help but feel a very intimate pain. Its like, the fact that DE happened when it happened is a miracle, an actual work of art emerging from the mud of 'content', and rich assholes just can't help themselves but smother it as well.
