#Undertale, Narrative Desire, and Freud's Masterplot
The one #VideoEssay I have made (so far), back when I had the time for that.
It's still pretty good, put a lot of work into it, and I think you should watch it, if you like Undertale and academic rambling.

I mean yeah. "Ugly people are evil", "Cops may be corrupt and useless, but there's no other way", and "Slaves are cool, if we tell ourselves they're asking for it" is all morally simplistic.
And I guess there's some people for who that'd be an optimistic outlook.

Lol. Inherently useless method. The people who'd use it the most would be people who tend to engage with criticism like weird bad faith babies.
People who engage with criticism like adults on the other hand wouldn't need such a tool to begin with, since they tend to not be weird bad faith babies.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I am so fucking serious, when this is over, we need to drag every single ICE agent out of their home and put them into prison.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Gamers. All y'all are sleeping on one of the secret hits of 2025: Artis Impact. Go play it. It's amazing. It's got one of the top percentile gaming protagonists period. It's inspired by Terragnima of all things. It's got probably the slickest animations, RPG Maker games have ever seen. +Hilarious

In my mind, current movie "The Rip" is just about a big fart. Like... idk... a very significant, reality-bending butt toot.
I don't have to explain the premise further and I'm confident it's already more interesting than whatever the actual movie is about.
Farts.

I feel that. I had and am still having a grand old time with Worldjust hanging out and crusing, and the way I've seen some people be almost giddy about shitting on this game feels kinda childish.
Like... not that big company game would need defending just saying: Dislike the game more chill maybe?
