just depressingly indicative of the mindset that speech is praxis but direct action is not

we have similar genders! mine is the ghost woman who walked menacingly out of that one corner in cure (i think)

Fun fact about this: the delivery person left my package in a puddle, so I opened it expecting to find a ruined mag, but the paper quality is so high that it looks good as new!

similarly: as a genre category, "speculative fiction" tells me almost nothing. all fiction should speculate!!

Counterpoint: we create a self-contained intranet and tell all the stock traders and crypto guys that it's a quantum-computing based marketplace. We set up random number generators to display gains and losses. They waste away in quiet obscurity and we return to Web 1.0

I'll always remember the gunfight in the bar in Sonatine, in which two groups of men stand very still and silently shoot each other to death for like a full minute and a half. And then we get beach funtime!

And on top of that, the highlighted paragraph contains a typo. If you're going to demand """objective""" excellence... well.... you know

duuuuude i forgot about why my power is sucked by that little monk

for me personally - both the positive and negative reviews seem to prove that this game is what i expect it to be, which makes me even more excited to jump in

it's just a sign of your good taste (is what i say to myself)

i'm actually hearing reports he was attacked by Nobody? developing situation

ugh. some people love to retreat to the humanities as an elevated plane of being, like art must necessarily be held higher than tawdry things like "sexual assault" and "abuse of power." i think those people find success bc they let the powerful lay claim to the arts w/o challenging their power

No hate to the recurring guests, who are very fun, but I miss the days when guestless episodes were more common!

Hey man. PLEASE

i like both broadly speaking, but i think if you can nail the veneer of "everything sucks all the time" but there's always hope poking through that the characters are usually too afraid to acknowledge... ooooh it hits

It's so funny to see both sides panic and say "our side has nothing to offer young men" periodically. Who is the mythical "young man"? I think they usually mean "our side isn't doing enough to cater to cruel misanthropes", and the right promptly sinks lower while the left (hopefully) goes higher

In retrospect, the delay was for the best!

I can totally see how a real person would make this to appease corporate sensibilities, but it is on a gut-reaction level visually unappealing enough that I'd believe it if you told me it was AI generated.

well, color me shocked!
