it’s not necessarily that I hate the themes most prevalent in fiction set in the real world and it’s not necessarily that I don’t like stories revolving around real people or relationship drama or interpersonal issues it’s more like im a dog who doesn’t recognize that a pill is still a pill if it has peanut butter on it. I need like the little peanut butter spoonful that is aliens or robots or monsters or time travel or something fantastical and not at all down to earth real life so that you can approach me and be like “this story is about how friendships can deteriorate over time and also how this guy feels bad for being a bad friend and causing his buddy problems with their girlfriend” and then look at me making a face at you and be like “AND! they’re all aliens who are doing all that across spacetime” and I’ll be like OHHHHHH OKAY YAY (shlop shlap shlup the sound of a dog horking down peanut butter pills) wow what a poignant story
Still not over this
wait
hold the fuck on
so ok, i was thinking about the "silica's equipment" situation again and realised something
^her own equipment
^the equipment kirito gave her; which to say *kiri just had that on her at the time*
and just... that design
?????! the similarities?! the collar!!! the shape!
and we know kiri explicitly chose the ggo outfit!
that's kirito's style!
oh
and also
while rereading the novel volume for this
???! wait why did the anti-harassment code not go off for this?!
so much going on here
reki what the fuck
explain yourself
Next VatiCon's gonna be lit.
so you're telling me that the Catholics have a new mascot that's a cute anime-style blue-eyed teal-haired anime (girl(???) or boy, possibly???) and her name is Luce? As in latin for light, so they're a bearer of light? like... Lucifer? Okay.
one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does
Oh god, this may be why I keep persuading people to get into Good Media and then wondering why they're all three books/games/etc ahead of me suddenly...
"any time is a good time for mid, but quality deserves the perfect environment" really does explain my habits lmao
Empire powerscaling is hilarious because they canonically cannot survive 1 twink believing in the fundamental goodness of his cyberwizard father, of course any other galactic power in fiction is going to body them
It took all I had to not name the 'summary' tab 'black arts', because to most people it may as well be witchcraft.
That should change, hopefully.
One of the earliest lessons I had in 'adventure pacing' for running RPGs was a game where the players got arrested. When told "okay, you're all in individual cells [GM describes cells], what do you do? Look for vents, try to pick the lock?" "Sleep. We've been in continuous action for 36 hours, this is the safest we've been since we airdropped in!"
With Half-Life being talked about again, I do want to reiterate that Gordon Freeman went to work at one morning and; aside from being knocked unconscious and put into stasis a few times; went without sleep for the next six consectutive days
