as someone who didn't have cable and mainly grew up on mario let's play videos and bfdi, the cathode ray mission from videodrome and its thesis that pop culture is just as important of a necessity as food if people want to integrate into society really resonated with me. yup i can confirm

first sentence of the wikipedia page for the song take me out to the ball game is them outing the writers as larpers

screenshot of the page "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" on wikipedia. text reads "'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' is a 1908 waltz song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game before writing the song."

ik persona was never really gameplay-forward but it's jarring to have just finished p3, where even its watered down version of press turn at least had some higher thematic purpose, to having those mechanics get diluted across two games and remakes until you make the game play itself

he smelled the larp. the larp is crazy

screenshot of an excerpt from this translation of the brothers karamazov: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/28054/pg28054-images.html

“Excuse me,” Dmitri cried suddenly; “if I’ve heard aright, crime must not only be permitted but even recognized as the inevitable and the most rational outcome of his position for every infidel! Is that so or not?”

“Quite so,” said Father Païssy.

“I’ll remember it.”

Having uttered these words Dmitri ceased speaking as suddenly as he had begun. Every one looked at him with curiosity.

“Is that really your conviction as to the consequences of the disappearance of the faith in immortality?” the elder asked Ivan suddenly.

“Yes. That was my contention. There is no virtue if there is no immortality.”

“You are blessed in believing that, or else most unhappy.”

“Why unhappy?” Ivan asked smiling.

“Because, in all probability you don’t believe yourself in the immortality of your soul, nor in what you have written yourself in your article on Church jurisdiction.”

“Perhaps you are right! ... But I wasn’t altogether joking,” Ivan suddenly and strangely confessed, flushing quickly.

“You were not altogether joking. That’s true. The question is still fretting your heart, and not answered. But the martyr likes sometimes to divert himself with his despair, as it were driven to it by despair itself. Meanwhile, in your despair, you, too, divert yourself with magazine articles, and discussions in society, though you don’t believe your own arguments, and with an aching heart mock at them inwardly.... That question you have not answered, and it is your great grief, for it clamors for an answer.”

i made this meme & kept it for a while because i can't think of anyone that would find it funny but i realize i don't even find it funny either. i find it cool. these memes are like pulling off a combo in a fg where the more words you circle the higher your score. so i hope you view this like that.

this meme never made sense to me bc you can't order leaves at mcdonalds. did a giraffe make this lol

the mcdonalds alignment chart. header reads "CHILDREN YELLIING: MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!". below is a triangle, with the top side reading "We have food at home", the bottom left point reading "*Pulls into the drive through as children cheer* *Orders a single black coffee and leaves*", and the bottom right point reading "MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!"

musing on ways i can tell a dialogue-heavy story without sacrificing atmosphere and i came across the book j r by william gaddis, which is composed nearly entirely of dialogue so he had to invent a vn-like system of delineating each line

a page from the book "j r", showing how dialogue is broken up by em dashes at the beginning of each line rather than the usual quotation marks, and also how the character who said each line is never explicitly mentioned by the author

TRANSCRIPTION:
-I'm afraid I'll miss her then, I have to be in court... I scarcely see the need for that, Mister Cohen. If Stella's husband is so impatient he's hiring lawyers and running to court..
-You're losing a button here, Mister Cohen. Thomas had the same trouble when he got stout. He couldn't keep a crease in anything either.
-Miss... Bast. I'm afraid I haven't made myself clear. My court appearance today has nothing whatsoever to do with this matter. There is no reason for any of this to ever come into court. In fact, believe me Miss Bast...both of you ladies, the last thing I would wish would be to...to see you ladies in court. Now. You must understand that I am not here simply as Mister Angel's attorney, I am here as counsel for General Roll...
-You remember back when Thomas started it, Julia? And we thought it was a military friend he'd made?
-Of course it was James who had friends in the military.
-Yes, he'd run off to war, you know, Mister Cohen. A drummer boy in the Spanish war.
-The...Spanish war? he murmured vaguely, braced against the back of the Queen Anne chair before the empty hearth. -Yes. He was only a child. -But...the Spanish war? That was 'thirty-seven, wasn't it? or 'thirty-eight? -Oh, not so long ago as that. I think you mean 'ninety-seven, or 'ninety- eight was it, Anne? When they sank the Mainc?
-Who? That's one I never heard. Do you feel unwell, Mister Cohen?
-Yes, Thomas ran off right after James did, but he was too small for the war of course. He joined a Tom show passing through town, playing clarinet in the entreact and they also let him look after the dogs, finding livery stables to put them up

i use the ancient apple wired keyboard when i dock my mac and i noticed something. what's with this font? vag rounded? the font for picture books for babies? this is a genuine apple product. so for such a brand-conscious company, why a font their software has never used??? jony ive i need answers

now that it's Valentine's day i can finally complain about this oft-reposted joke. it sucks. it doesn't work. the joke is meant to be like "lol his dad said the quiet part out loud" except the loud part is the exact same as the quiet part. how else could you finish the sentence "vday makes me sad"
