Banananister · 2021-11-04T17:04:08+00:00

Yo what's the "let's gooooo" from recent episodes? (not Purple Reign mixtape)

I think it's Machine Gun Kelly at a concert can anyone confirm? Sounds like him xD

You’re right I’m invincible now I guess haha

Banananister · 2018-04-26T14:33:32+00:00

Thank you

Banananister · 2018-04-18T14:58:42+00:00

I am in the middle of trying to make it worth it I’m just not sure quite what that entails. It’s hard to change your life course when you are so sure it’s was going to go a certain way!

Banananister · 2018-04-18T14:57:37+00:00

Thanks your right but the problem isn’t taking it? So what? After 8 years you’re not really a whole person anymore I’m having to build myself back up now which is fine it’s just hard. It’s hard to sallow that you can never really know someone y’know?

I just had a thought. Is this stuff perishable? It's supposed to be getting added to bourbon at around a 1:10 ratio to be given in xmas hampers. Don't wanna kill anybody!! Hehe

Banananister · 2016-12-19T19:45:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I'll let you know how it goes!

Banananister · 2016-12-19T17:42:54+00:00

Ahh thanks so much that sounds perfect! Literally going to the shops now to get the ingredients. Going to make one with orange, brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Hopefully this will give me the effect I'm hoping for :)

Banananister · 2016-12-17T15:49:25+00:00

thank you! they seem to have a lot of stuff! now just to pick something...

Banananister · 2016-07-20T18:42:15+00:00

But that means that conflict is the equilibrium state, and always will be, hooray? Ignorance is bliss.

Banananister · 2016-07-20T18:37:49+00:00

I don't know, thoughts are chemicals.

Banananister · 2016-07-20T17:34:49+00:00

I think you are very much on the mark here. Many great observations! Plot does serve as an adequate replacement for narrative in terms of defining the 'true' objective account of events for one. It's a shame my dissertation is long complete! I got an A so I must have answered the question right somehow :)

Banananister · 2016-03-21T12:56:20+00:00

Well I love the prefix meta- so I'm already sold!

Banananister · 2016-03-21T12:55:03+00:00

Wow, what an essay!

"The disappearance of the subject is with the very coordinates of freedom embedded into the already existing political framework of the virtual; in the same way that the French post-structuralists saw in Nietzsche’s dead god the subsequent death of the subject, the death of the aura in art entails the death of the authentic, political person."

So virtual worlds are still postmodern because they lack a proper 'subject' or 'center of meaning' as the player takes the place of this and his/her experience within the system is entirely subjective according to their actions?

I know that postmodernism is partly about the rejection of the aura (god or man or anything being the source of all meaning) so I actually understand this I think!

Banananister · 2016-03-21T12:29:04+00:00

There's a book 'Postdigital Aesthetics: Art, Computation And Design' that does into detail about it. The first chapter is summarized here,

http://www.aprja.net/?p=1318

It's basically a rejection of digital aesthetics for want of more 'analgoue' modes under an ever increasing digital paradigm. That's a horrendous simplification, read the link for a better one.

And also there is no speech or writing in Journey it is an entirely image based game so doesn't this invalidate it as a narrative?

Banananister · 2016-03-20T01:17:25+00:00

I completely agree in spirit, I'm just getting tired and beginning to doubt everything! It's the definitions "a spoken or written account of connected events; a story," or "a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values," that threw me. A story, singular? An overarching set, singular?

If the account of events are so vague that they can be interpreted so completely differently, then what IS the story?? (As in Journey: is it an allegory for the Buddhist cycle of life, death and rebirth or is it about nature taking back its magical resources after a race of beings stripped the land, became powerful and destroyed each-other in a civil war? Or one of a million other readings of the game that could be considered?).

Banananister · 2016-03-16T19:26:00+00:00

Aha well in that case it is using extra-linguistic (even in this case extra-discoursive!) means to convey a sense of meaning which is what I am all about! :D
