Please pay £60 for our new AAA game. It doesn't work on AMD cards and on NVIDIA cards it also doesn't work but we're hoping to fix that in patch 1.01, although it may take a while as we fired the entire dev team yesterday

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

Gretchen on Flanagan has me screaming with joy

Would you like to watch teenagers talk to each other about cancel culture in desaturated, non-specific upper-class suburban homes? Would you like to see a version of Stephen King’s classic horror novel Carrie in which the titular character is a naive but irrepressibly positive little darling not too dissimilar from an alternate version of Pippi Longstocking who’d been raised by a survivalist cult? Maybe you’d like to hear Lana del Rey inexplicably crooning “fuck me to death, love me ‘til I love myself” over footage of kids going to prom, or watch parents, faculty, and students have the same exchange about bullying and social media half a dozen times. If all of that sounds good to you, Mike Flanagan is here, and he’d like to talk to Carrie White about the Avengers Initiative.

"We didn't think the audience would connect with a heavier actress." That's... weirdly the point? That people who maybe don't connect with her see themselves in her bullies and realize "I would have been one of the ones she killed at prom"? They didn't earn the right to the comfort of feeling safe.

Their vision of ideal entertainment is that of a mirror. Modify a movie so you are the protagonist. Modify a song so it is in your voice. etc

There's an interesting trend with AI dipshits where they propose generating media where the viewer is watching himself (it's always a him) as the protagonist. "Die Hard, but YOU are John McClane! Also huge titties!"

additional observation, about all players (not specifically dudes): it's technically one of those job simulators where theoretically part of the goal is profit, but a lot of players get so into the fun of making creative designs that they spend all their money & never pay attention to the budget

i just found it very interesting how when he's just performing by himself (and streaming is performance) he is fully locked in like talking about fabric types & what he thinks is pretty, but the second he's in the presence of a male peer they both remember to perform a slight defensiveness about it

like, this isn’t even an “AI could create that much value” versus “no it can’t” argument - let’s grant the premise, let’s say it does in that world, with these people in charge, unemployment and poverty explode and no safety net is built to handle it

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Such a good thread both for letting you know what's going on in Paris and for showing standard police tactics. Telling protesters to disperse while blocking all the exits, singling people out with the intent to harm, and using tools that we know cause serious bodily harm? That's the cop playbook.

i always hated this kind of narrative because power begets violence no matter who holds the power. you can even see in our real world that women in power are perfectly capable of exercising their power over others to harm them. a hypothetical matriarchy probably wouldn't be good for people still

Over time, women have demanded that men both step up to do more of the caregiving and step aside to make room for women in "profitable" jobs. But what hasn't changed is the underlying incentive structure of financial capitalism and its devaluation of "unprofitable" labor like care.

there's a pretty strong case to be made for abolishing fraternities just on a comparative basis with other countries. in the UK, to the best of my knowledge, no examples of the kind of campus gang rape cases that happen with depressing regularity in the US.

The other side of this is that the Boomers got that name because *an unusual number* of babies were born after WWII! Not all of them would have kids of their own, then a gigantic swath of Millennials were denied the stability to be able to afford kids even if they wanted them.

The reasons for this are complicated but the gist is: 1. Small gestures made towards progressivism in the 2010s 2. The US industry being a lot smaller than Japan’s. 3. Women proving themselves as a more profitable market demographic to market to 4. “Male flight” for everything that isn’t YouTube
