you are very gross.

There’s this thing called virality, where a creator has their work shared so widely they become rich and famous. Why would it have been any different in pre-IP eras? Do you think Martin Luther’s 95 Theses became widespread and changed the world permanently because he copyrighted it? No, the printing press, and copies…

horseshit. do you think the artists and producers who lived before IP laws never made money? even when we began to have some forms of copyrights in the law system most works weren’t copywritten because it was complex to get and very limited in scope.

6/10/21

true. I can stillhope for a future when we discard IP as the restrictive, manipulative, illusory bullshit that it is.

IP isn't real

imo, the specialist system sounds like a vast improvement. grinding out the four different classes is such a pain in the ass in 4.

I avoided his work precisely for that reason, because twee musical comedy is not my thing. this is very much not that.

that part took me from laughing and smiling, to having chills up and down my arms in awe of what he had just done. it really takes talent to lampoon something while still recognizing the humanity of the person you are poking fun at.

6/8/21

yes, and I’m thoroughly pleased that so many different people are incensed over this dogshit.

if you like any kind of experimental or art-house cinema, I highly recommend the special. it’s a really thoughtful exploration of what it is like to be a human in 2021 with some incredible shot composition and editing. it was the first and only (so far) thing I’ve seen from him and I was blown away.

I definitely interpreted that song as being more about the never-ending need for public figures to scourge themselves for past jokes and missteps, and the near religious fervor for people having completely unproblematic pasts.

how unwoke of you to be committing erasure of poc and women who hated this tabloid shit.

damn, I wish I was decent at FM. I always start strong, and then just completely collapse midseason. I need to get better at building the middle of the team.

Honestly, fuck you.

thanks for the golden age of gamespot. it’s what got me obsessed with gaming and following the industry.

I would be amazed by this, but then again I forget that the Gamespot Kane and Lynch drama happened way back in 2007
