PSA for anyone watching backrooms everything must go extended cut, the extra footage starts after the end credits, so don't just leave when the credits roll like half the people in my theater did
There's a rhetorical sleight-of-hand in statements like "AI is the future, so kids need to learn AI skills", where in the first half of the sentence AI means "computers doing stuff with machine learning" and in the second half it means "typing questions into ChatGPT"
the korean title simply says "anything tastes good with kimchi and rice" (어떤 음식이든 김치와 밥이 있으면 맛이 있어요) which is a great way to open with a knowing nod

Hello world! I'm bringing a professional account forward out of fandom lurking. I'm Johannah, I've been a narrative designer on Destiny 2 since 2022 and contributed to releases since then. :) Like many of my beloved colleagues I am now on the market. Watch this space question mark?
