like just practically speaking poly sounds really exhausting lol

it's a failure of society that so many people are this bad at weed

never been to sweetgreen but there is one next to my apartment that releases a brussels sprout miasma in a two block radius that smells awful forever

specifically for GoT suddenly ignoring the ruthless pragmatism and logistics preventing all the well-meaning characters from getting anything nice done in the world feels like silently retconning out the main villain. but that doesn't mean realism or rules makes your story better

I mean "it has a realistic economy" is just a surface level thing. early GoT was interesting because it built a set of rules that characters had to follow that was in tension with the mythmaking of the noble houses and precluded a heroic narrative. ignoring the rules later felt contrived

what I wouldn't give for just one sleep and you're out here with two??

I think the game was ahead of its time and eventually we'll recognize that most media featuring nuanced villains with complex motivations had less to say than media where a guy turns into a giant monster who wants to kill everyone

I kinda just wish the extremely public internet was not the arena for hashing out this sort of thing within the community. Who else is showing their own ass like this besides like, fandoms

it's not like I want tutorials, I just want discoverability, which wiki culture helped make an afterthought. the peak for me was when morrowind npcs would give you gameplay advice without breaking character if you asked

minecraft created the standard of "game you're expected to keep a wiki open to play" which seems a lot more poisonous than overbearing tutorials

this is kinda how I interpret the matrix and why I think it works as a trans allegory, the artificial world you're constrained by is the one created by people citing dictionary definitions like they're natural law

yeah, and conditions like ADHD are just symptoms that were found to be correlated with each other and got grouped up kinda subjectively. it's not like you have ADHD molecules in your bloodstream. but you give something a name and the temptation to treat it like a hard boundary is strong

I unironically think that the belief that words are real is an epidemic that is destroying civilization

having gone down this rabbit hole recently, yeah he does his makeup himself

it's just misogyny

what gets me is you can't even call it red meat because I don't think his base is specifically paying much attention to this

alternate timeline civ would be a funny game concept. everything progresses linearly towards an end point that is completely alien to us, but with the same tacit assumption that it was inevitable. why, of course researching "mold husbandry" is a natural step in every civilization's development

I remember the issue being he came in at level 1, did they fix that in the remaster? it made him kind of a joke with how late you get him

travelled to another dimension just to be a benchwarmer for team ramza
