jsyk the mental draft for this post was "wow I love Sephiroth"

I love that rather than doing a 1:1 recreation of the original FMV, they chose to get *uncomfortably* intimate with Sephiroth's face. Every minute shift of his expression is on full display, and the way the firelight is reflected in his eyes as cruel mirth gives way to festering hatred... Chills.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

I don't think I noticed what was happening with the insulation the first time, or if I did, I blocked it from my memory. I feel sick. 😟

A too-perfect convergence of destructive elements. Hard not to see it as intentionally designed for exactly that purpose.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

My most conservatively masculine coded trait is that I think we should bring back dueling to first blood as a matter of honor. So many online arguments lack stakes and could be avoided.

None of this English pistols at dawn shit either. Sabers or Epees. Learn a skill.

I think I might just really be a sucker for remakes whose entire mission statement is "let's do that same thing again, but fuck it all up somehow."

No more fix-it fics, only fuck-it fics!

#theorycrafting Okay, so A). This is going to spoil Silent Hill 2, and B). nothing is definitive, but if Rebirth's ch. 14 world lore dump has you confused or some of Nojima's comments about Jung and Yogacara don't make sense to you, watch this. This could be exactly where the ReTrilogy is headed.

People seem to really hate loop theory for SH2R, but it + the echoes + the Stillness ending is easily my favorite interpretation of what's happening in either game. Too much meta referential stuff to ignore.
