I don’t think it’s always that so much as remembering how infuriating earlier wireless headphones were, every single pair I used to get in my teens lasted barely a year before something started making them unusable.

And compared to when wired headphones start experiencing problems there was way less of a dying period, when the wireless died it was just the end of the line right away, which sucks if you dont have the money to get another pair right away.

Something uniquely perverse about putting the sauce only on the sausages and none on the block of mash.

Makes it look like you want them to look like turds.

The show obviously couldn’t really have a “happy” ending, and if he just gets shot(on screen) or goes to jail that’s sort of expected of mob fiction.

Maybe a conventional ending could be good if we assume perfect execution, but for novelty and lasting impact it’s hard to say that it’s a bad ending.

Can’t see the article for some random reason but I’m gonna guess it’s parents who had their kid get startled and scared or some shit like that.

Summer Eternal does have some of the key creatives(that we know of) from this project, so there’s hope that some of the inspired concepts will carry over to what they make.

ZAUM did post an official damage control tweet today about there being leaked material, so it’s real.

At the very least this does convince me that Summer Eternal are not just goofy gamer-maoists but that they are almost guaranteed to have a solid and compelling core gameplay concept to back up storytelling.

Whereas Longdue seem to at best be taking the DE concept and just writing some bullshit around it that is more up its own ass than actually insightful.

Still curious if Red Info will ever manifest a project independent of the long march back to DE.

I bet it’s some fucking excuse to show off wealth and privilege over poor(and subtextually or explicitly nonwhite) people.

Like you can afford to put 100% meat in your stew instead of “having” to fill it up with beans for protein.

The English language already uses a capitalised I by default in common language, so attempting to use the same conventions would be at best unnecessarily confusing.

Maybe it didn’t strictly have to be Latin, but it easily makes sense to invent discrete terms.

Broadly the discussion has been very absolutist about these terms, I don’t really care wether or not Parenti is “better” on a spectrum.

I want to hear what his usage of the term in his most famous lecture actually implies about him and these sorts of terms as a whole. Is this post actually a discussion about language or just a massive circlejerk about how much we dislike academics.

It’s not pedantic, he used one of the example words in his most famous lecture. Why?

Were his ideas not clever enough? Is he bourgeoise? Did he change terminology afterwards?

what about this makes English “cucked”?

Those ones are literally just normal, you’d have to just not have engaged with political-historical discourse at all in English to not have heard hagiography used to insult mainstream presidential retrospective articles at the very least.

The only imaginable bright spot is that the obvious attempt to groom his young son into a predator too happened so recently that there’s some hope that he might receive effective therapy for it before he becomes an adult.

Literally what is there even to say, fifteen women. And that’s just the number who spoke to his wife personally!

Also the most horrific shit he was doing literally like 2022, 2023, 2024.

Neil Gaiman is going to need to hire a private military for life to be able to walk the streets without getting three Luigis in the back.

Recently I’ve taken to just idly browsing secondhand and auction sites to look at funny vintage clothes and the weird phrasings people come up with.

Lots of what I assume to be attempts at gaming search results by typing “BRAND NEW VINTAGE/ANTIQUE” in the title and shit like that.

What did Robert Eggers mean when he turned Nosferatu into a half rotten cossack sex pest.

To be serious though, only part I just didn’t like of the new film. Just not an interesting visual design IMO, looked like a better executed generic CGI horror monster of the caliber of the Van Helsing film.

I’m sold, hell yeah.

Did they make Orlok a romantic sadboy?

I want to have faith in Eggers but also it feels like every single Dracula since Christopher Lee has tried to be subversive about the original story in a way that just annoys me to no end.

It’s a common prosecutor folk wisdom that it’s good to gamble on the death penalty because if its on the table then the jury will be more likely to be filled with regimepilled sickos who vote guilty in the name of state violence no matter what.
