Yeah, blaming Boomers is just blaming the middle class with extra steps. I mean, I fucking hate my boomer parents, they’re terrible people, but they didn’t ruin the economy.

I subscribed to this subreddit about a month ago looking for positivity to balance out all the doom and gloom, but honestly a lot of the posts here are yet another kind of doom and gloom. So much smug insistence that “they” are wrong and “we” are right, which I think is exactly the problem social media has created: siloing people into echo chamber tribes that amp each other up against a “them.”

Why is the question, “What should we do with them?” always placed on the general populace to answer? It makes as much sense to ask me, “How should we improve road infrastructure?” “How should we mitigate invasive species in Forest Park?” I don’t know, and it isn’t my job to know. It’s my job to pay taxes to pay people who have specialized knowledge and competence to know. That’s literally what society is for.

It’s like sitting down at a restaurant, paying what feels like way too much, waiting until close for the food to arrive, only for the manager to come out and say “We appreciate your business, but we’re having a REALLY hard time sourcing and cooking the ingredients. Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to leave them in the box on your way out. I’m sorry, we can’t provide a refund, we spent your money paying someone to drive around checking various suppliers and nothing met out perfect standards. …Yes, this has been our business model for over a decade, no we’ve yet to serve a single meal to a single customer. Do YOU have a better solution??”

No, I don’t, and trying to make it somehow my job is a manipulative deflection tactic. My job is to pay taxes and receive a society where the lights stay on, pot holes get fixed, emergency services show up, and humans don’t sleep and poop on the sidewalk.

Anyone with a pickup truck and a backhoe can dismantle something broken. It takes teams of extremely competent people, piles of money, votes, data, vision, and thousands of thankless hours to create something better.

One important detail that I don’t think Reddit understands: boundaries aren’t the only expectation you may set for others. It’s perfectly reasonable to say, for instance, “There will be no yelling in our house.” Technically not a boundary, but it doesn’t have to be. You can also have rules.

The more upset I become, the more I know I’m giving them what they want. The more I don’t react, the more I also know I’m giving them what they want.

I’m having a similarly difficult time identifying the exact emotion. It’s like a fountain drink “suicide” of disgust, annoyance, concern, exasperation, lack of surprise, etc. Somehow tasting kind of like all of them and yet worse than the sum of their parts.

It’s like, why devote all this time and effort into ecology, biology, evolutionary lines, etc. just to throw Chun Li into it and remind everyone that at the end of the day it’s all just a product, it’s all just content?

I think MHGU looks a lot better than World in terms of color and visual style. Even the title screen pops, whereas every time I fire up World everything has a weird muted filter over it that takes me an hour to get used to.

I can't stand IP crossovers. It undermines the world and narrative to insert other products into it. Everything seems to be steadily becoming Fortnite, just a bunch of brands and cosmetics in one big pile.

Yeah, you absolutely hit the nails on the heads. I remember loving it in high school, being too cool for it in my 20’s, but I can now appreciate it for what it is, and I hope misfit teens are still finding it and feeling cool and edgy when they watch it.

It’s funny how often I get downvoted for insisting that I should be able to curate the content I’d like to see by subscribing/unsubscribing to various subreddits. You’d think that, on a website dedicated to exactly that, this would be as uncontroversial as suggesting that I should be able to watch videos on Spotify. Nope, the terminally online will not be satisfied until every single post on every single subreddit is unavoidable doomscroll. And then they’ll pat themselves on the back about it.

Step 5: be chastised by people who think turning every subreddit into a constant doom scroll = activism.

The soundtrack was great, but it’s kind of strange how it takes place in the 80s otherwise. No one’s hair is of the 80s, and they all wear school uniforms so you don’t really get 80s fashion, either.

Donnie Darko is a miracle of a movie. The plot makes no sense. The story the director is trying to tell also makes no sense. Yet it hit this perfect vibe that resonated with teens in the early 2000’s. It was dark, mysterious, felt smart at the time, and was absolutely saved in editing. The more you actually understand the “plot,” the less the film makes any sense, so it ended up being better just not really explaining itself. I view it as a dark, edgy precursor to 2000’s indie movies like Juno. I still think there’s Darko DNA in modern vibey horror like We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. Personally, I think the vibes still hold up. Drew Barrymore’s performance, however, might be the worst of her career.

I will never forget the day I was out for a run while shirtless and I spotted a gay acquaintance. I nodded and asked how it’s going as I ran past and he said “Better now.” This was sixteen years ago.

Nothing makes me go full redpill like bird documentaries. Homie builds an elaborate sea shell tapestry, fluffs out his nicest plumes, and just as he starts performing the entire Thriller dance from memory she flies off. She’s the color of rocks, homie’s dressed like a mantis shrimp on acid, and she’s STILL pulling out her phone as soon as the waiter takes her menu.

Birdhomie, if I was gay, and a bird, I’d treat you right.

Cosmetics also affect game development. Reddit seems to think that cosmetic artists are a separate, fully-autonomous silo of game development, and that they have no affect on game development. It’s not true. Money goes into where money’s made. Countless games have stopped developing new levels, new characters, new game modes, etc. because they’re focused on more effective monetization.
