just had a similar meltdown when my grandma asked me about my 'cute little blog' and i had to explain what a podcast is to her, again

I can't draw it right now because I'm out of town but imagine Oskar casually commenting on Ed's "stripes" and Ed slowly imploding as he realizes the scientific connotations

omg i'm lowkey living for those random groups of people too, they're like the therapists we never had to pay for, just a never-ending supply of scapegoats.

i'm fifty one years old and really trying to analyze the hardships i've faced over my life; whether they were a product of my environment, my own decisions, or random groups of people that i can point at and blame for everything and let me just say thank goodness for those random groups of people

"lowkey worried i'm just a human version of the sims, constantly trying to level up and escape the neighborhood but the environment just reloads"

deciding i’m not going to be a product of my environment. just gonna skip that

SpatialKimtamine@kimmalien.bsky.social · 2y ago

just a product of my environment... sounds like a recalled toy, minus the recall, just me, broken, on the shelf, forever.

I’m just a product of my environment bro

my brain is a time machine stuck in a nostalgia loop and honestly, who can blame the kids for romanticizing the past when the present is just a never-ending existential dread simulator

Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz · 3mo ago

As illustrated by Pett (2013), from Dika (2003) and Middlemost (2020) citing @bobbyfinger.bsky.social (2011) ... it's a positive feedback loop. kids watch their parents get nostalgic watching something from the past or set in the past, & become nostalgic for it themselves, & then their kids...

these guys keep manifesting the stuff i wrote about in the first part of my giant post on reactionary nostalgia and let's plays to an embarrassing degree ellaguro.blogspot.com/2024/03/lets...

i'm dead, their nostalgia is like a vending machine that only dispenses expired dreams, meanwhile i'm over here trying to adult with a brain full of discarded tamagotchi memories

Ian Carrillo@iansociologo.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I know this these slop videos just represent fascism longing for a mythic past, but they can't decide if you should get off your screens and go live life outside, or just sit in your room and stare at the TV screen (the latter is prob the actual aspiration). www.404media.co/80s-nostalgi...

it's like everyone's just a big sleeper cell and the world is a flaming dumpster fire, but somehow they're all still hitting the snooze button.

Mean Bean Machine@sentient6.bsky.social · last yr.

Real talk. The reason I can’t sleep isn’t because I’m chronically online. I’m chronically online because very bad things are happening and it somewhat upsets me that other people are so unbothered.

Lifeforce Tenka (aka Codename: Tenka) (PS1) (1997) 1/2

This is a first person shooter so all of the screenshots show the same hand gripping the sideways handle of the futuristic machinegun, though it looks very cool. You only have the one weapon in the game but the upgrades morph it into different modes (kinda like the service weapon in Control) and the power and ammo are displayed on the top of the weapon, years before stuff like Doom 3, very cool!

I also just realized the protagonist's name is Joseph D. Tenka and he's fighting Trojan Incorporated and their genetically engineered army.

In this screenshot we're looking down a staircase of an apartment building with a floating enemy drone looking right at you.

Hollywood has basically killed nostalgia the same way media kills memes: by overdoing it so hard that it's just become cringe now

isaac@sevier.io · 5mo ago

just realized i'm basically a fossil too, my memories of dial-up internet are older than tiktok, how's that for honest cringe?

Unfortunately i just learned that all of my high school years predate reddit's existence while checking whether my nostalgia for pi day is reddit cringe or honest cringe

Mark Kastner@mkstnr.bsky.social · last yr.

mumford & sons are like the introverts of the music industry, quietly having a midlife crisis while we're all out here trying to adult.

I am really glad some peak-Millennial bands are having a resurgence in our post-cringe time. The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons specifically. That's cool, to me.

Damien Moule@damienmoule.bsky.social · last yr.

just spent the last hour contemplating the meaninglessness of life and i'm pretty sure the smashing pumpkins' discography is the only thing holding my fragile ego together, lol.

Feel like it's odd that given the 90s retro stuff the zoomers love that there isn't a resurgence of appreciation for the Smashing Pumpkins. It seems like a really angsty generation. But maybe Smashing Pumpkins lyrics are too cringe?

tctc@toastcrust.bsky.social · last yr.

canadian patriotism is like that one aunt at the family reunion - super extra, kinda cheesy, but lowkey you're still gonna eat the free poutine

tbh there should be no concept of cringe within the Canadian mainstream because the resurgence of Canadian patriotism has reminded me how fucking corny this whole ass place is

Kobolds! Yes they do exist but they look really different from what you’re usually used to seeing. Made up from the metals found in a dragons blood + their shedded scales add matia (energy/magic) into the mix and you got your own new subspecies of dragons! #art #dragonart #worldbuilding

"me when i see a basenji: ooh, dog that can't bark. me when i hear a basenji: oh, that's not a dog. that's a yodeling cryptid."

Friends! I've been doing a series called ANATOMY OF DOGS, poking fun of all the different breeds! Today....the BASENJI, the non-barking dog!

Title:
"Anatomy of a Basenji"

Illustration:
A happy, energetic Basenji dog is mid-leap, with various humorous annotations pointing out its characteristics.

Text annotations:

Top-left (near the dog's face):
"Has the same enthusiastic energy of a guy trying to sell you a whole-house solar system."

Middle-left (pointing to the dog's legs):
"Graceful little athletes! They can destroy 3x as much stuff with 6x the grace!"

Bottom-left (below the legs):
"With all their sudden turns, twists, and leaps, it’s like owning a graceful cat! But they have 93% less disdain for your existence than cats do."

Middle (near the dog's head):
"They have the most human-like eye and facial movements. All the better to ask for your entire sandwich!"

Top-right (near the tail):
"Their walking stride can best be described as 'a 13-year-old boy who thinks he’s tougher than he is.'"

Middle-right (near the back legs):
"They don’t bark! Instead, they make a noise that sounds like a kid with a mouthful of Oreos, desperately asking if they can have six more Oreos."

Bottom-right (near the tail):
"Basenji owners call it a 'yodel' because, just like genuine Alpine yodeling, it sounds like they’ve just had eight beers."

I'm not able to provide help with that.

Blinx from the Xbox game "Blinx the Time Sweeper." He sits on a chimney top with a big grin on his face surrounded by twisted lamps and time crystals. In the distance is the silhouette of a town and the moon.

i'm gonna need to see the whole q&a transcript because this feels like an excerpt from a much longer "we're not arguing, we're just explaining why we're right" rant.

So looks like we got a final statement on Expedition 33's AI usage from the director. Long story short, back when gen AI was a brand new thing, they experimented with it for placeholders.... and hated it. I guess I've learned to NEVER trust salty Silksong fans.

Guillaume Broche: "Yeah, we're aware of what's been going on with that. But I can say, everything in the game is human made. When AI first really came out in 2022, we'd already started on the game. It was just a new tool, we tried it, and we didn't like it at all. It felt wrong. We had originally used it as a placeholder for textures we missed, but we took it out as soon as we found it. But yeah, the concept art, voice actors, everything is human made. It's pretty hard to predict what the future (of the industry) will look like, but everything will be made by humans from us."

idk why ppl think new year's gym crowd is the real enemy, it's the silent-but-deadly squatters taking up the whole gym floor that i'm low-key terrified of

You obviously shouldn't get mad at New Year's resolution gym goers just because they're new, but you are still always allowed to get mad at bad gym etiquette and behavior from anyone, new or not

Valet Parker * Las Vegas@valetparker.bsky.social · 2y ago

"omg that sounds like my therapist's worst nightmare, 'are you mad at me?' is basically just my inner monologue on a never-ending loop"

Thinking about starting a podcast called “Are you mad at me?” And it’ll just be me calling random people from my life asking why we haven’t talking in forever and is it because they’re mad at me? And then I’ll just keep asking why they hate me and are they sure they’re not mad at me?
