Imagine if people started bragging about acing puzzle games like Wonderland: Secret Worlds or Prince of Persia in a similar fashion lol. This shit would be hilariously cringe if not for the horrible and dangerous ideology underlining it.

the reason to play video games is to contract other people's diseases and the reason to make them is to spread the mutated forms of those diseases to others. video game cannot exist without this beautiful and terrible life cycle

"Ethnic and religious homogeneity = social cohesion" is a very old idea, first articulated by someone no less venerable than Jean Jacques Rousseau, and since then it remains unclear why that should be the case in any fucking way

Thinking back to Vagrant Story and FFT...I feel like either Squaresoft's desire for stories about fighting demons constricted Matsuno during these two games, or he was bitten by some sort of bug that made him get taken in a bit too much by conspiracy thrillers.

There is often a tendency to treat people as though they have one defined set of traits. In reality, people are often a collection of many disparate traits, and exhibit different traits depending on their circumstances.

There was a time when I used to be insistent on people "getting" stories, or its equally toxic brother, stories needing to conform to some grand standard to be truly "good". It turns out both are wrong. There's neither a "right" way to read a story, nor a "right" way to write one.

I have a bone to pick with code copyrights. I mean, what kind of "creative expression" is being defended by them anyhow? All code is, is a means of solving logical and technical "puzzles" to get computers to do the things you want them to do.

"Oh no, people will laugh at my art for being shit!" is the common thought...and quite bluntly, that's just not true! Having your works be mocked by a noticeable audience is actually a blessing in disguise. In reality, 99.9% of art gets a big, yet silent "meh".

And like, no, publishing any kind of creative work is on average about 90% being ignored, 7% praise and attention, and 3% being harassed by insane people if you're lucky. As a source of extrinsic validation it is a piss poor one. Join an amateur sports league.

The basic problem with the end of WW2 can be summarised as follows: while the outcome of the war was unequivocally overall a good for the world in every which way, "the good guys" were, just like in 1918, not even asked to meet the same standard the bad guys were forced to.

Someone writing in the press about a subject is the equivalent of turning an incredibly bright floodlight on a person in a dark room. It's not a morally neutral act. Your life becoming a subject of public debate about your morality is not a morally neutral act.

Cases of individual academic wrongdoing are fundamentally not, in most cases, a public interest story and you should not care about them, the press should not be reporting on them. I don't understand where you people lost the capacity to say "seems bad, hope the investigation goes well" and tune out

Like ok fine point made there were people weighing in on the other extreme but that does not in any meaningful way undermine the actual rational point being made by those of us who simply don't think all stories of individual wrongdoing are the business of the general public
