THE MOVIES: Let your whole mind sag into a single durable pool of images, bristling with meaning and detail. Give that brain a rest, let your dream-levers work. 📽️
Beware the machinations of the evil wizard Discurso, who traps us in a stone labyrinth where we can hear each others' half-formed thoughts and then sells ad space on the maze walls while we drive each other to the brink of madness. 🧙🏼

My apartment is slowly starting to feel like My Apartment, which feels incredible. It's nice to feel truly at home somewhere. 💚

I believe this is important to our understanding and that it's worth the viewing time—not just for the specific examples of "textbooks" and other erosions of a shared reality, but the overall picture of a childhood lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcmb...

In Seattle I programmed my own little film studies degree by deep diving into things I found fascinating at my "campus library," @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social.
I'm satisfied with how far I got, but it was fun to find this old list plotting my next adventures.

The world isn't great right now, but let's take care of each other and enjoy life with each other, too. Not just scare each other.
I'm saying this directly to myself. This is what I need to hear.

What I realize about the Twitter format is that it's a blog for me. I mostly use it to read back fun things I said, and I delete things I don't need anymore. But I think I want to get back to reading chapters instead of sentences, and writing in longer forms.

I call these hangnails. I'm sorry.
Do we need a name for one of these annoying pieces you get when using literally every single paper towel roll holder? How about “tearsail”

I've switched to the Godskin Stitcher and soloed Adula, Ekzykes, the Falling-Star Beast, both Astels, the Fire Giant, and Morgott.
Currently working on Mogh, Rykard. On the horizon are Maliketh...and Malenia. 🌺

Soloed the Valiant Gargoyle twins after spending all day learning the move sets. Not sure who I am right now but I like her.
Just took out Starscourge Radahn by poking him with a weird stick (Antspur Rapier). That felt tremendously great.

The 2025 Video Game Retrospective
Sometimes I’ll start these retrospectives with a comment about how the last year has gone, but the only thing I can say this time around is ...

I got really into Something Awful–brand online masculinity in my late teens. I started reading Pitchfork and grew embarrassed that I enjoyed writing fanfics about Final Fantasy characters kissing. In retrospect this was a significant downgrade.

Is anyone else completely haunted and transfixed by the honeycomb scene in Marty Supreme (and how it fits into the image architecture of the scenes around it)?
