Hard left pragmatist. I suffer neither fools nor bigots. Trans people are safe with me. Expect nonsense.

Perfection is like the speed of light: an abstract, something which can never be reached, only striven for. The closer you get, the more energy it takes to get even a tiny bit nearer. And you will never, ever get there.

Perfectionism is paralysis. Be kind to yourself.

No matter how hard some folks insist otherwise, science fiction is a subset of fantasy, not a separate genre.

Fun fact: In Life, the Universe, & Everything by Douglas Adams, there is a bit where Marvin the android is hooked up to the Krikkit war computer and Zaphod happens across him, finding him singing "dolorous ditties of no tone, or indeed, tune." The lyrics are as follows...

Ys VI has far and away my least favorite OST in the series. Decent composition, but awful production, and only three tracks are genuinely "great" in my estimation. This is one of them, as filtered through the sonic lens of Mega Man X for SNES.

I'm very much of the opinion that to digitize a human mind, you would have to also perfectly 3D model a human body for it to digitally inhabit, or else the result would very rapidly cease to be a human mind.

2026 is doing nothing enjoyable for my ongoing and ever-increasing sense of derealization. This world feels like an extremely stupid and drawn-out prank on me personally. I find it hard to believe this many people are so credulous.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

"Luck is just circumstance taken personally."

Not my quote, but one I ran across years ago that was utterly transformative for me. I no longer give any tradition, ritual, or superstition any consideration beyond that enforced by social custom, and then as shallowly as I can muster.

It occurs to me that The Ring is basically like Corpse Party, in that the remake is excellent, while the original is a mere curiosity, and all of the follow-ups to the remake range from execrable to just just disappointing.

ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone

They did not have a warrant

I still hold out hope against hope that Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, The Darkness, and Asura's Wrath will see recompilations some day. Great games that should not be trapped on old hardware.

They're not even trying to be coy about it anymore.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

And Avalanche is literally an eco-terrorist group. The overt message of the game is an environmentalist one.
"No woke bullshit in FF7! Games were better then!"

Party consists of a delusional pretender, two women with tons of gay tension, a giant black guy, a talking dog/cat, a furry, a goth and an angry air pirate with a heart of gold

And they're all fighting an amoral corporation run by end-timer freaks

My oddest habit: Probably pantomiming the facial expressions of characters in books, as the narrative describes them. Anyone watching me read or listen to an audiobook (as I'm often doing in the car) would likely think me insane.
