the idea of one of the biggest artists in the world tapping into multiple regional sounds is really cool on paper. for me, the problem with the way Drake does it is it always feels very...cheap? latching on to a wave or in this case, using the spirit of Mac Dre, one of our most beloved icons in The Bay, as a surface level chess piece to disrespect California (something he already did with 2Pac of all people). it conflates very rich regional sub-genres and cultures with fleeting, transactional moments. Rest In Peace Mac Dre & Tupac Shakur.

@ColdBrewElixir @c4l1rc @GhoulPalmer @chribdotnet i think the analysis here is that the powerful isn't powerful because they're literally demons, witches, sacrificing children, or whatever. it's their material possessions and control of industry that enables them to be what they are.

@c4l1rc @GhoulPalmer @chribdotnet Occult forces exist, the issue is because you don't believe that they exist doesn't mean that very influential people aren't neck deep in weirdo beliefs. What's the difference between a secret society and a powerful deep state?

@meltingmugi yknow Im aware theres this big push of "anime is a medium not a genre!" but rhetoric like this that frames it as a medium comparable to food or movies or sports just feels wrong. kinda leaning toward "anime is a genre" at this point in my life

@DNUTT0 @SryYoureUpset @Ollie_Vargas_ "Been feeling like the USA has been singled out for having the most retarded conservatives on the planet the last dozen years" I read this and thought you were stating the left here [as I'm United States] is as stupid as the right. My apologies.

Argentinian young professional: I voted for Milei and now I can't afford rent anywhere. I'll probably migrate out of the country, but I'll still never vote for the left.

@loonachan @CMURDER26 @alittleyareli The point was moreso to show how people view gaming in comparison to other art mediums, where people see them as simple products that can be rated with an objective standard, but see novels and other mediums as actual art and something to just experience.

@keithwayne4 @CMURDER26 @alittleyareli A lot of discussions in book circles tends to be about how long it is as well though. Feels like cherrypicking to bolster the preexisting idea that books are the superior medium and everything should be based on those standards, because it's intellectually coded.

yeah the average gamer just doesn't know how to talk about video games compared to how they talk about literally any other medium. this has been a problem for years. from the opening passage of "Introduction to Game Analysis" by Clara Fernández-Vara:

@SryYoureUpset @Ollie_Vargas_ Don’t be fooled, the left here is equally as stupid as the right. The main reason we’re so fucked is because we’ve been under the hand of one of the worst leftist government for years. The new president is shit too tho

Auto-translate feels like releasing invasive species into Japan. I saw a Japanese threatening a Russian by pirating Dostoevsky, only for the Russian to reply with a pirate site and some book recommendations. They have no natural defenses against these people. RIP the ecosystem.

@NicholasCraven_ The problem then isn't the fans, the problem is the ai being utilized to extract all the creativity and labor from artists. I think you'd say fans creating the database enabled the problem, but ai extracts value from human beings irrespective of their consent. It's the incentive

hip-hop artists have been sacrificing their careers for decades to bring you great sample based music, pharaohe monch, de la soul, etc. only for fans to create a sample snitching database that would be sold for hundreds of millions to one of the biggest investors of ai warfare 😭

THE WHOLE VIDEO IS SPOT ON: “We have movements that feel radical but function safely inside the system. We have protests that express anger but protect capital. We have activism that produces awareness but not redistribution. Nothing changes because nothing is forced to change.”

@loonachan @CMURDER26 @alittleyareli It's more like they're rating the game with an idea of what the perfect "amount" of a thing is: "game length is just right" "graphics are a bit rough." It's like talking about a product. The way they talked about the novel was more subjective and based on how it impacted them.

@CMURDER26 @alittleyareli If you go on the dragon age forums circa 2009 I'm sure you'll see many people engaged in long conversations about the specifics of the story, specifics of the RPG mechanics, specifics of the visual style. Book discussions more naturally zero in on the story, understandably.

I’ve been having a lot of thoughts that I don’t know what to do with, so here. You can quit your job, you can leave your city, you can delete your socials, but the fact you CANNOT opt out of civilization without severe penalty is one of the most underrated dark facts of human existence. You didn’t consent to be born into a system. You can’t leave it. You just have to…participate, forever, or else. And the cruelest part is that the system you’re trapped in isn’t even neutral, it’s capitalism. Which means your survival is literally tied to your productivity. It’s not enough to just exist, you have to be useful & profitable or you left behind. And this isn’t new. In medieval England, if you tried to opt out permanently, the crown seized your property & the church denied you a burial. They couldn’t punish YOU, so they punished everything you left behind. The message has always been the same: there is no exit, only consequences. Nothing has changed except the branding. And before anyone comes at me, yes, I’m using that as the extreme example on purpose. I’m not advocating for anything, I’m pointing out that the most extreme possible form of opting out is the ONLY one that truly exists & throughout history, even that came with punishment. If that doesn’t tell you everything about how the system is designed, I don’t know what will. And yet here I am, tweeting about it, paying for a subscription on a platform owned by a billionaire. I’m going to go touch grass now.

@spoiledsteelers @TriggerTrey__ I’d rather every single person stopped being taxed to oblivion. More taxes won’t resolve anything. Do you understand that $7billion is being spent every single god given day by the government? Capitalism ain’t cause that.
