My latest take on Sunny Day Real Estate discography:

Diary: needless to say it's a timeless masterpiece, a lightning in a bottle, a moment of eternity captured in sound. But it's also the single gateway for anyone to get into their music. So sadly if you don't fw Diary then SRDE is not for you

The wildest part of learning Chinese kids’ obsession with midwest emo is that the album made by the band that this person from the post below is in showed up among midwest emo album rec videos on my Douyin FYP a couple of times already 😭

Whenever I ponder the thought of “balancing” my hobbies, I always reach a point where I have to remind myself that it's not possible to do it all, then I remember this one guy who indeed did it all and he did the exact 3 things I wanted to do as well, i.e. comics, music and game dev 💀

Especially true for certain countries 💀
if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

This is like seeing HQ kill the joke of 67. Chinese Embassy in the US has started a “becomingchinesechallenge” on Facebook. Now you have a four week window to become Chinese! Just kidding that’s the death time of this trend.

Really enjoyed playing through the demo for Vholume, new game by one of the Straftat/Babbdi devs and featuring music by 1000 Eyes (Signalis composer).

In love with the architecture, the hidden little snapshots of lives lived in an impossible space.

I was led to believe by video games and martial arts films there would be more underground fighting tournament societies than pedophile trafficking cults

I came across this post that made me understand why midwest emo or emo culture in general is a big deal for Chinese teens

It's that same melancholy feeling of being stuck in the middle of nowhere (physically or metaphorically) at an age that promises youthful joy and passion

Let me share a few poems from this publication that I find interesting with the original and Google translated English versions.

First one is 女武神 Valkyrie by my talented friend 王井: a poem about the experience of being a woman in virtual and real worlds inspired by FPS games like Overwatch

Saw my poet friend sharing a publication called Selected Poems on Games, where Chinese poets write about their gaming experiences (video games, board games etc). There are poems about Gorogoa, Minecraft, League etc
