Secret Music

Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.

Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.

For me as a 39yo I feel like this one never really explaining. I’m pretty sure both cooked and cooking have been used in this way before. And I actually like it, I feel like they both express the thing pretty well.

😾

Gives me Laughing Man vibes. Ghost in the Shell storyline where an incident involving a hacktivist holding a healthcare CEO hostage ends up leading to investigations and CEOs and corrupt politicians going down.

Oooh, that actually makes sense lol. Guess I’m just slow.

Why do people do this? Not the first time I’ve seen someone comment the title of the post and nothing else. On Reddit, that would’ve been a sure sign that it was a GPT bot because that’s the kind of thing those bots do occasionally when they slip up.

Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.

Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being ‘manly’ enough.

Season 3 was fucked from day 1

Kinda glad that I haven’t got that far then lol. Although one day I’d like to catch up with season 3 and Sinners of the System just for completion sake. But I’m definitely not as amped about it as I was with season 1 anymore, so I’ll get to it some time. It’s just not exactly high priority.

And especially if she’s really strong and swings a sword like it’s made of feathers.

And this kind of shit unfortunately is fuel for anti-vaxxers and conspiracy types. It’s not just misinformation on social media that we have to thank for people’s mistrust, it’s also the scientists that downplayed how bad sugar is or who turned a blind eye to what cigarettes do in the interests of money.

I don’t actually watch a lot of anime but reading this question, my immediate answer is PSYCHO-PASS. Season 1 is a masterpiece of a story regardless of the medium IMO. Philip K. Dick tier.

Then they carried on with it instead of stopping there. The movie was ok, season 2 was meh and the villain was a bit much. And I haven’t even been able to bring myself to watch any other content from it. Not sure I’d want to because I prefer to pretend that sometimes it’s about art and not always about money and that they stopped after telling the story they wanted to tell in season 1 without turning it into a franchise.

Ugh, I actually get angry thinking of the couple of times I ruined a good friendship thanks to friends and people around me pulling the “oooh, you two liiike each other” bullshit and convincing me to make a move against my better judgement.

I feel like those people are never going to vote though. The communists and socialists will be too busy going on about bourgeoisie this and that and won’t be satisfied unless Marx himself is running because no one else is good enough. And the anarchists will go going “why should I take this opportunity to fight fascists if I’m not getting my perfect anarchist utopia out of it? Don’t vote, it’ll go against your perfect idealism.” Just like they did this last time around.

I think that Bernie Sanders showed us that people who don’t have ideological sticks up their asses will be willing to vote for something better that gets us all a little bit closer to utopia, even if it’s not perfect yet. And as a non-American, I think AOC has that same infectious energy. But of course, as a non-American, I might also be underestimating how much Americans hate women and brown people.

Strange. I didn’t see a single mention of drag queens or trans people in there.

Yeah that’s what I thought the other day as well. They should all get together and take Nintendo to court.

Take time to be a better person. Doing that fights them just as well as all the other stuff.

That is a great way of reframing it. And honestly it is a big help right now with the way I’ve been thinking lately. So thank you for taking the time to post this, seriously. I’ve got some thoughts that need rearranging now.

I’m in a similar space right now. Tired of being angry. Tired of feeling bad about things I said earlier when the people who it was said to will never feel bad about a thing in their lives. In a perfect world I would spend my days online looking at cat pictures, not despairing while these clowns dismantle women’s rights, trans rights, gay rights, religious freedom, environmental protections, workers rights etc. and their idiot legion thinking it’s all just wonderful.

It’s a catch 22 for me because I cannot and will not keep quiet. I’ve spent my life fighting these fucking people and I’m not about to stop now that the fight is more important than ever. Even if it most likely won’t amount to anything, considering that 50% of the world’s population seems to have been replaced by pod people over the last decade.

So I dunno. I’m personally at odds with being at a point in my life where I’d like to calm down and focus on arts and good conversation and being a better person; while the state of the world calls for people with spines more than ever.

“Make South Africa Great Again”

They’ll make statements like this and then complain about people assuming that they’re racist bigots. Because I’m pretty sure they’re not talking about the '90s when Mandela was still in charge and there was hope and joy in the air in South Africa.

The well run ‘South Africa’ that they long for so much was the South Africa where the previous government only bothered doing their jobs for about 3% of the country before patting themselves on the back for a job well done. And they’re comparing that to a government that isn’t perfect but that also took on a lot more work and responsibility, and hasn’t just drawn lines on a map and labelled huge sections of the country as “homelands” that they don’t need to bother with.

I sincerely hope that when these people are flying over, there’s some big mishap with aviation caused by Musk and they end up at the bottom of the sea.
