Remembering when I posted something bitchy once on tumblr about a character in a more obscure Gundam series (not naming it because this person is on here I believe) and the show's #1 fan quoted my post and called me a stupid fucking idiot and said that I should keep my opinions to myself lol

I too remember when I used to be in my 20's and was always making very opinionated and even bitchy posts about things I didn't like. Now that I'm 40 I can't ask to be bothered or to give a shit really.

This is not a condemnation of anyone who is opinionated. On the contrary. That used to be me too. Just forgive me sometimes if I'm asked my opinion on something and I simply say that I have no strong feelings one way or another. I often just don't.

It should go without saying I'm mostly talking about opinions on trivialities. Obviously I have some pretty fucking strong opinions regarding something like the genocide in Gaza for example. But if you ask me which Gundam entry has the most annoying fanbase, understand that I do not know or care.

I don't care to moan about what slop entertainment you've consumed or to postulate about how far a certain franchise may have fallen. I'm old and tired and I don't particularly desire the negativity, either from myself or from those who would react to it.

I'll at least say bitching on bsky is a safer environment for it. Posting an incendiary opinion on twitter is akin to running into oncoming traffic.

I used to be on tumblr and I remember I used to love to complain about things I disliked in the Gundam franchise in particular, among other various annoyances, and plenty of times I got negative responses to that kind of posting. The desire to post like that has since been replaced by apathy.

Certainly there is plenty of stuff out there I don't like, and of course I'll still occassionally shit on people like AI enthusiasts and whatnot, but mostly I just don't care.

not into ship wars (victory at sea was boring to me as a kid), but I do think it's funny seeing a certain class of gunkedum fan get so up in arms and enraged over JudaHams while keeping their lip zipped over Charmuro like pleaseee pre-Zeta your ship isn't protected by Romeo and Homeo laws so go pee

Lrt that line has got to be one of my favorites in all of cinema. Just one of the most genuinely powerful and badass queer affirmations I've seen in anything ever. It almost makes me want to tear up.

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

One thing I appreciate about Metal Gear Solid is that you talk to a war profiteer for like 10 minutes, learn he sucks almost immediately, and then he suddenly dies.

I think I might have symptoms of addiction because discord notifications hit like fucking crack for me. I spent years with no desire to go on there and now I need to be chained to a fucking wall to stay off of it. It's honestly pathetic how eager I am to yap on there.

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

Vintage Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog 2 era promo art is catching my imagination, particularly the work of Osamu Muto and his airbrushwork. #art #videogames #videogameart #artsky #sonicart #sonic #sonicthehedgehog

Here's some more vintage Sonic the Hedgehog 2 art. Other artists, like Naoto Oshima, did the underdrawings and lineart and Muto painted over, finalized, and rendered the illustrations using Liquitex acrylics through an airbrush on crescent board. #artsky #sonicart #sonic #sonicthehedgehog

The holy grail of DiC Entertainment home video releases entered my physical media collection last night - thanks to another kindhearted Facebook Marketplace seller offering the title for only $25. I just wish the front cover had artwork by anyone other than Ken Penders.
