  • insecure white boy with grandiose ambition and dogmatic individualism systematically dismantles the comfort and wellbeing of everyone around him and everyone he involves in his "path to success" whilst gradually hollowing out his dreams as the bar for what constitutes success gets lower and lower as his dreams encounter the friction of living with other people in society until his Striving resolves in his Great Moment in which he has entirely torched any way of furthering his dreams and falls back into the tattered safety net barely held together with melancholy, reservation, and an embrace of the parts of situation they've created that immediately affect their life without confronting the carnage they have left in their wake nor addressing its consequences

  • I've decompressed about it, holy shit Marty Supreme had me fucking shrinking in my seat with disgust and embarrassment for its titular character. truly the American character to ever America, white boy needs to be regulated

  • Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme is fucking insufferable (laudatory) and hard to watch (affectionate)

  • yeah i had a hunch it was ressentiment-adjacent, but I feel like there's just a je ne sais quoi being dropped here. i think it is literally the Sartre quote that I can't fit in there because it feels like a fundamental piece of what I'm grasping that my brain can't entirely link to ressentiment

  • the problem is here specifically for me

    I can't think about it because every time I do it paralyzes me in awe of the urgency and scope of what has to be done.

  • The thing is that it feels so consistent and coherent as a social phenomenon that I'm surprised that I'm not equipped to describe it with a specific turn of phrase. It might be because it's something that really only manifests properly with the depersonalization and disassociation that the internet affords so it might be more of a burgeoning analysis?

    has anyone coined a term that encompasses the way the sect of chuds that are extremely detached, online, and irony-poisoned engage with politics as a sort of aura/schadenfreude/dominance/sadism farm

  • Literature guys are currently on the "game writing is bad" cycle of discourse on X Dot Com The Everything App so I’m trying to deploy my personal ball knowledge check when I can

  • (it is largely subpar (it is a fledgling medium that has different artistic merit compared to novels) but I refuse to concede this to those that do not pass the ludonarrative litmus test)

  • whether or not I am willing to engage with an opinion on video game writing being subpar depends wholly on the speaker's opinion and analysis of Undertale

  • expedition Israeli the way it's colonizing categories

  • no silent hill F no blue prince no dispatch no hades II no nothing. I’m genuinely a little salty like why even have categories if the projected GOTY is just gonna take them all. why is it in contention for indie. It's pretty much AA.

  • I don’t care whether E33 deserves each of the awards it’s taking I’m annoyed at it for turning what should be a celebration of GAMES into a celebration of GAME

  • infinite GPA glitch discovered if you write 'Jesus' 'God' 'Bible' and 'Christian' enough times in a red state university no matter the assignment you trigger an overflow and max out your grade

  • anyone else keeping up with the Chainsaw Man nontroversy (the "Reze's character design might be inspired from a 2013 niche BDSM porno but also the point of comparison is literally just a white halterneck with black kneesocks and also who genuinely has a real issue beyond 'gooner mangaka' if it’s even the case" debacle). why are there so many accounts from Occupied Korea specifically out for blood on it.
