lowkey a little stunlocked by the idea that 3 hour video essays have enough space in the cultural zeitgeist that they can show up years late on The Simpsons

i like between two fires well enough but i think what's keeping me from going really :0 about it is the prose. this is a TV series in a book jacket. i hope this makes sense.

This Hot Little Sister Came Up From The Country To Stay With Her Big Brother In Tokyo But Hasn't Bothered To Get A Job And Is Fucking Around All Day Instead

every halloween i walk into a grocery store and find out the kids are dressing up as the biggest horror villain of the year and they're called The Toucher or something and remember that i only hang out on Unc Websites.

the fucked up part is that no one's making Mass Effects. you can't do stuff like that anymore. the industry feels so much more narrow in its scope since we started putting the pillow over studios like these. money funnels into fewer and fewer places while creatives are atomized.

there's a bitter irony here: the 'fan protest' around the original ending of Mass Effect 3 was a blueprint for where we are now. Weaponization of consumer-uber-alles mindset, online brigading, etc.

Xbox news: We have fired 173% of our staff and shuttered all development studios. Our next console will cost 1-3 limbs. Sony news: The Last of Us ReReRemastered is a live service cutscene with 3 battle passes. The deluxe edition is an empty tupperware container. Nintendo news: New switch sports :)

The question "Is this condition overdiagnosed" is actually asking "Have we found an exceptional case of a medical issue where healthcare is too easy to get?" and the answer to that is always no. There has never, at any point, been a situation where it was too easy to get healthcare.

i mean we did that last time and then they all came back. maybe they'll perma the randos and the ones they can refresh with new branding but i'm choosing not to get it twisted.

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

Back in the day anime girls used to hide their long hair under these kind of caps to pretend to be a boy until the end of the episode
