    Listening to Zizek is actually really fun with my ADHD brain because after a while, I just tune out and when I come back down to Earth, he's talking about ball-busting and Soviet gulags.

    So the NBA shadow government scriptwriters decided that the Mavs getting the no. 1 pick after trading their generational superstar and still making the play-in was fine, but giving us a peak fiction Warriors-Celtics or Luka-Celtics Finals rematch was too much?

    Okay. I see you, Adam Silver.

    I feel like studying more Zizek just so I can perfect my impression of him

    June makes me think of summer despite living in a tropical country. Hey, a man can fantasize, can't he? And when I think of summer, I think of some good old midwest emo.

    You can just feel and maybe even smell ? the sweat oozing out of this one. The guitar work is a masterclass in spontaneity.

    Maybe my brain is glitching, but I find Nightreign to be more fun than ER. I have not played it, and didn't watch a lot of streams, so it might skew my decision. Nevertheless, I think it's more fun, in co-op of course.

    I think if you can find two teammates that are willing to spend a lot of time on the game, 20-30 hours, it is going to be fun and worth the money.

    Either that or it'd absolutely ruin the friendship. Instead of raging by yourself, you'll now be able to rage at your friends :blob_aww:

    If the bosses are good, I can really see Nightreign being an enduring hit. Reception around the game's currently a bit mixed though :blob_hmm:

    If only I had the device and the friends to actually play it and see for myself.

    I can see why it is mixed. Because it is clunky, and it's not a 'real' game. It is a Frankenstein made out of all the assets FromSoft amassed through the years.

    Frutiger aero was hideous, I'm not even gonna lie. It tastes like fossil fuel companies pretending to care about climate change.

    Fuck Africa (the song). It's overrated.

    Rosanna though, now that's a finger snapper. This shit's got 2 absolute killer guitar solos courtesy of Steve Lukather. And it's got the late great Jeff Porcaro laying out that groove that feels like cigarettes after sex (not the band). This is Toto firing on all cylinders and it's tight, tight, tight.

    Rule #e^(iπ)+1 (idk if this is correct notation)

    Soulsborne games are the ultimate kanji reading test for Japanese-speaking vtubers.

    I'm trying to write a short story for a competition that's due in 3 days and boy am I struggling :blob_no:

    I don't even think these words are forming a coherent story

    Since I started, I am going to mention it. The elephant in the room. Open World. I love exploring worlds. I loved exploring DS1, DS3, and even DS2. I went in blind into ER, Limgrave was fine, I enjoyed it. The rest however was trash. I understand not everyone explore every little corner and it's a me problem. But shittiness of ER's open world doesn't stop at lacking proper rewards for exploring every nook and cranny

    It is beautiful, sure, there is SOME enviromental storytelling, but oh my god it's empty, SO fucking long and empty, and rewards? For doing a secret questline reward is a fight... with another copypasted dragon... Yeah, I know, we get a sword, but I consider bossess to be as much of a reward... When they are good...

    I feel like simplicity and minimalism are key aspects of the Soulsborne identity, for better or for worse, and the flaws definitely do start showing themselves once they're applied to an open world, something that doesn't necessarily benefit from simplicity and minimalism :blob_hmm:

    Though overall, I still find the game worthwhile in spite of this design conflict.

    I'm running out of music that I'm actually super passionate about, so here's a song from my childhood instead.

    This song's such a vibe, man. Imagine this playing in an ice rink and you're skating around with the person you've taken a shine to. They look at you and you look at them, and the ticket guy does a bump of cocaine inside his booth.

    The award was for:
    "for her musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power"

    To borrow the modern lingo, she was awarded for being woke? and he didn't like it?

    Holy shit, Kazuo Ishiguro, take it easy, awarded for:
    "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world"
