they were almost universally bad in the early 00s & they're still almost universally bad now

however, i've seen a couple fits that rock a couple vibes (shown). i feel like i saw @leighalexander.bsky.social smoke in one once, or maybe i linked her something similar cuz i thought she'd smoke in it 👀

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it

it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers

they just profited from us

i just love you guys

i really, really do

the world is full of chaos but the people i interact with here make me feel connected, understood, heard, cared about

and you’re all doing so many cool interesting things and thinking fascinating thoughts

i just wanted to put that out there today 💖

this photo i took once sparked a raging debate in a photography group

one half was disgusted, existentially offended at the palette

another went to war on its behalf, thrilled by novelty

i learned so much about art that day. people will love a thing for the exact same reason another hates it.

if you want to understand the sociopolitical situation in the US right now, go watch Shiny Happy People

at first glance it’s a documentary about reality TV drama & a pedophile

but it ultimately reveals the rise of organised Christian fascism, their political infiltration & their psychoprogramming

what was the game you've most anticipated in your life?

you followed it for ages/inhaled every piece of content you could find/participated in fan communities/did ---

what was that game & how did you engage that anticipation?

(i checked the fable forums for a release date every day for 3+ years)

the tinkering on my neocities continues <3 a grand adventure

perhaps the part i'm most looking forward to is outlinks... do you know how easy it would be to bring surfing the web back if we all just rocked a little homepage with links to cool stuff we've found on the net?

let's gooo
