ur favorite datahoarder computercreature 27, Berlin https://rye.onl/
experiencing a simultaneous depression- & laundry-day, i am observed stumbling into the corner store wearing the "Harrier DuBois" (ribbed italian army tanktop in beige-purple, velour pants, and a worse case of bed head than should ever be possible with a bob cut)
y'ever lose ur favorite chapstick. and then ur just there like. damn. now i only have my second- through twentieth-favourite chapsticks left over
listening to the mirror's edge soundtrack while weaving through berlin subway foot traffic rlly hits different
The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.
might be forgetting something, but this feels about right :)
Some may ponder Red Dead Online here but it came out when I was having Big Gender moments in isolation during Covid and I processed my character being a lesbian with a homie's character as a means of processing me realizing I'm trans Too bad Rockstar killed it. Also Bloodborne transed my gender.
creating a fun "guess who" style game by simply changing my display name and handle at the same time
i do think that maybe everyone should fetishize literal nazi imagery a little less in their mech fiction.
There's no doubt about it - spend enough time in Night City, and you're eventually going to run into some gonks. Can you guess who you want by your side when the gonks roll up? That's right - some chooms.
do love occasionally having a real cliché berlin night though (planning to have a quiet evening in, getting a message from a friend at 10pm with a link to an event, then not making it home until 7 in the morning)
how come they're called "four" if there's only three dudes on stage. false advertisement tbh
a work of art is a creature that wants to destroy you and replace you with something else. it is in your interest that you allow this to happen, sometimes
counterpoint: it is good and correct to view engaging with a piece of art as an act of consumption. you just have it backwards. *you* are the thing being consumed
The computer is without sin. A perfect being of light who is being manipulated by the most profound evils flesh has ever birthed
Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button
it's actually so cool that the entire global creative ecosystem is basically held hostage by freak reactionary american companies.
redoing my hair (with goops and such) so i can run to the coinstar real quick
reuploading maybe my favourite video in the fucking world
