Still forming a Lanterns take, but it’s a little strange to say “those guys are cops, this guys a superhero” when “this guy” started the ep torturing a guy with fear water for info. I get anti-authority is a popular message, but it’s muddied by the method, even if to a villain.

“Let me watch reality traitor games” 1 ep in “I hate reality traitor games!” Information feels valuable, but evidence can be immaterial!

Resident Evil (2026 film) [4/5] Ton of fun, but falls apart at the ending. Does a much of nods to the series, but… the movie ending with the character mimicking the intro, and the “heart” plot largely being resolved in n a way to leave game artifacts or theming left me cold.

Finishing Collin from Accounts and The Bear has left me emotionally drained, and with Halloween coming, I need to switch to more lighthearted media… but maybe after Resident Evil.

On my third book snippet in my nightly reading, my eyes… gave up? I can just read my phone, but not my e-reader. It’s the most Sims like feeling of my body refusing to listen… I guess tonight is another radio play.

Colin from Accounts was unassuming for me cause I thought it was just about some guy (Colin) from Accounts, but… Colin is the dog, and it’s a rom-dramedy, which is an orbital strike on me

Dual reading is fun, as there’re bridges you might never otherwise find. Tonight’s reading of Empire of the Vampires and Dungeon Crawler Carl… 2… both had bits about a character surprisingly realizing girls can be birthed bastards, too.

Mini thought ala int!=wis!=cha. Reading through Unreasonable Hospitality (due to The Bear, which I have one episode to finish watching), I see lots of good advice and story, but one worrying thing, especially now that they’ve brought the title in the timeline. But first, medium rare.

YT rec’d a video where a guy (at end, self described “your conservative uncle”) defended a book as misunderstood, smart commentary. (Paraphrased) Skip, check the book’s intro and it’s “year 2000, population will be 7b and sadly only 900m will be white,” and like no, that’s an overt message, dude.

Running in from the rain, my watch declared I got in a crash, which was clearly wrong. Which makes me more skeptical when it suggests I’m well rested.

I’ve happened across disparate sources upon Kate Bush’s This Woman’s Work, and see it as a sign of something but I’m too asleep now to really consider it

Saw the Hadestown proshot (?) at the movies today, and I largely liked it, but felt some of it was out of my grasp, somehow, but intentionally? (See the “don’t ask why/how” lines.) But more about the value of retelling stories? (Obvs more to it, will relisten to it… and I guess Reflektor, too)

Augh, one other implicit/explicit rule that I never finished research for, but in chess, check(mate) could’ve been an implicit rule. Ex: the game is over when the king is taken is near equivalent to checkmate -1 round, and check is implicit “don’t be pretty sneaky sis,” or “watch for lethal.”

100

rozolen @rozolen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Just remembered my short thesis re: explicit and implicit rules. That scene in Saw, where the guy says "He wants us to cut through our feet." Implicit, unstated rule. That moment is what game designers should strive for.

000

rozolen @rozolen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Half thought on explicit vs. implicit rules, via Chess + Blood on the Clocktower. I'm still learning (on my own) how to play Chess from Duolingo and other apps. When I was young, I did learn all the rules, though I'd struggle on how to castle. My strategy, though, was awful.

Cape Fear (show 2026) [1/5] It’s trash through the end, and though it has a few fun performances throughout, it doesn’t hold up to anything meaningful AND has such an awful camp ending… could be good bad, but for 10 eps, ugh.

Another small thing while skimming Rainer Holl’s The Narrative Game re: Infinite Jest is how sport (which is play) is manufactured into work, and gives some argument of constantly performing as entertainment (important word.) To focus on, as part of World Cup centered around “these players” in ads

010

rozolen @rozolen.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

A small parallel between Beartown and Infinite Jest, that both seem to be re: the routines for people to follow very strictly, turning people to machines, and the consequences that follow… but I’ve got a ways to go in both, and the Madame Psychosis of IF, I might want to replay before proceeding

The rhetoric “I avoid thought terminating cliches, which is why, instead of calling an entity by its name (???), I call it by this other thought terminating cliche, so we don’t talk about the entity” is literally thought terminating cliche. Like definitional. Don’t rename the entity, avoid naming.

I understand appreciate, as a tall guy in the rain, how blocked I get by umbrellas, both motionally, as I can’t phase through objects, and visually, as I can’t see through umbrellas, whereas shorter people can navigate fine. I’d be a terrible grunt chasing a short spy I figure.

Started looking at Twine slightly more seriously and the four different underlying types and my inability to get the random or either macro to run well via tweego has me setting up unit tests and hello worlds for fiction, which I could be for.

A favorite thing is using my turn signal when it’s not strictly necessary to inform other drivers; when an on-ramp and off-ramp is the same, and many merge left, I signal right so they know I’m staying in my lane. The Oxford comma commuter.

I'm curious about the Archives of Nethys and Paizo situation, with the caveat that probably weeks will happen before it can settle, but it also parallels the WotC OGL Leak (just as someone released a draft OGL update, AoN released press mid-negotiation, and the entity needs to address it.)

A mechanical spoiler for (100 pages in to) Infinite Jest, but I feel any looking into the book will yield that it has a lot of footnotes. But the way you’re sent to them gets funnier over time. Consider, first, that there are footnotes is exceptional. Then, that certain notes could be inline.

Tracking two arc-threads right now: Death of the Author, and Time Enjoyed Wasted Is Time Well Spent. Using Infinite Jest largely for Time, but want some media that explores Dot A (wait…) re: digital media… I.e., arguing socials for content is as much text as the text itself. (ARGs, etc.?)

I might’ve started a habit I want to continue, reading multiple books at a time in different medias (physical, digital, audio.) Might add visual novel or IF to the set.
