Do your best at work, be constantly compensated with:

✅ more demands
✅ more expectations
✅ more stress
❌ more pay

XY’s postgame episode is generally seen as the best of the game’s story, but I feel most don’t realize how essential it is narrative.

Here’s a brief thread digging into what I mean. The gist: Looker’s actions connect to the game's themes and exploration of wealth and inequity.

You didn't read Paulo Freire

Final Fantasy Tactics quote:

"There's no such thing as equality! One side is always being exploited!"

"Then I wanna be on the "exploiting" side! After I overthrow you!"

"A warrior with a genteel demeanor. He is the son of a swordplay instructor and is searching for a certain sword, following a tradition passed down through his family for generations."

In this gameplay snippet from Octopath Traveler 0, Viator uses his Ultimate Technique: 'Fluid Stance' to "deal damage with equipped weapon 2 time(s) when evading or parrying attacks."

There's "convenience" being created every day, all so we can keep laboring and consuming endlessly.

I'm a individual, not a company. I don't need The Cloud. I have flashdrives, external hard drives and, believe it or not, the will to sort my files on my own.

🍃 Leaf @daguerreo.bsky.social · 2d

I don't want to save files on the cloud, marketplaces to show me the bestsellers, algorithms to show me the most viral posts or AI to write text for me. I would rather do things on my own, thank you.

I'm not scared of labor, I'm exhausted of laboring for the financial benefits of others.

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

I agree with this and think this also carries on as you grow older. I gift books to my parents regularly and my dad who's retired never reads them. He has time now, but exploitation never gave him a chance to cultivate the interest in reading.

Ada Palmer @adapalmer.bsky.social · 5d

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

É muito doido pq a dificuldade nessa luta específica vai pras nuvens. Até essa parte o jogo é relativamente tranquilo. Os magos com status médio de magia usam no máximo magia nível 3, e de repente tem demônios usando HOLY e os melhores summons do jogo...!

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
