Yeah, "Hey" by the Pixies does that for me. Came upon it at a time in my life where that melancholy fit perfectly, so it sticks.

I love a good challenge in a game, but I think people should play a game however it makes them happy. Life's short, why make yourself miserable, you know?

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Yeah otherwise you woulda clunked to the side of the machine like the tin-man.

Been trying to make a sourdough starter and the difficult part is that I just don't have anywhere in my apartment climate controlled that's gonna keep it as warm as it wants to be. So, this might be a drawn-out process.

Oh yeah, sooooo much good story stuff to learn! Enjoy the journey!

This seems like it would give half the current administration a full-blown stroke.

Yeah my friends think it's weird that I'll play Silent Hill to decompress.

Consider this your sign to take a break from whatever you're doing, and pick up some creative task that you've had in the back of your mind for a while.

The internet has replaced our useful social connections with less useful parasocial ones. If we want change and revolution, it starts by organizing and creating community, especially deeply connected local communities fighting for their unique needs, instead of taking marching orders. End.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Point three, which is that the sort of community connections and networks that could band together and create change have been cracked apart. Revolution is the work of groups of people, and we've so pushed this individualist nonsense that it's hard to find engaged communities. Plus... (4/5)

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Second, we've taught people that revolutions are brought about by singular, unique heroes, rather than collections of regular people banding together for change--often with a simple motive of not wanting their shit fucked with. But these two combine with... (3/5)

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

First, we've been spoon-fed the lie that "legitimate" revolution is peaceful and, above all, doesn't upset people or make anyone uncomfortable. Then... (2/5)

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Saw someone asking why we haven't seen any kind of "revolution" with all the crazy shit going on, and figured I'd make a thread about it. I'll say the last point is the most important, but the other two are necessary for building to it. (1/5)

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

been replaced with further siloing and disconnection for "convenience." Then, the internet came along and replaced our useful social connections with less useful parasocial ones. If we want a revolution, we need to start with engaged, connected local communities fighting for their unique needs.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

we've simultaneously been taught that revolution is the purview of singular unique heroes as our communities have been cracked apart. Thing is, the "hero" narrative is bullshit and it's true, engaged communities that bring about change and revolution. But those effective, engaged communities have...

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

To answer the last question there: There's a few reasons. We haven't seen any revolution or revolutionary action because, for the last 50+ years, we've been spoon-fed the lie that "legitimate" revolution is peaceful and doesn't make people uncomfortable. But more importantly...

This is a great thread, you should read it.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

This whole thread is fantastic, but I wanted to chime in here and say I loved that this idea felt reflected in your Ancillary series.

(Insert rant about how "correct grammar" is often not a question of good usage but a matter of displaying the correct class signifier. I do not have the brains for that rant.)

Today I heard about an interesting book on a public radio station show, then when I got home I went to the website for my local public library and requested it. I'll have it tomorrow for free. This is precious. We must protect this.

My old person trait is that I believe single player games should still be able to be played without requiring an internet connection. My old person trait is that websites should always work in a web browser instead of forcing me to download an app to access it. And the app should be optional.

I was a kid in the early 2000s. Thanks to my dad I was a little more aware and as against it as a kid could be, but I remember people losing their shit about that opinion. I'm happy to see things change.

I wonder how many people who think cities are inherently "dangerous shitholes" realize that opinion is rooted in racist and classist propaganda?

I wish I could staple this to some folks' foreheads.

Inspired by Megaman Legends? One of my favorite games? I love it!

Finished reading "Is a River Alive" today. Really good book, though it feels like it slips away from its central thesis around the third section. But, as a work of literature, it's incredible.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Also it's such a dumbass argument: "We know you hate this thing so what if we create a hypothetical where you have no choice to engage?" Idk, maybe it doesn't say good things about their slop if we have to be forced to engage with it.

Subtitles is the big one for me. Been a while since I've seen that mistake, but starting me into a cutscene without subtitles? Nah, mate.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Shit yeah, I don't blame you. That's the kind of thing with enough time to really need to grieve over.

I knew a few conservatives big into renewables, and a huge part of their interest was in energy independence. We didn't agree on almost anything except climate and energy.

I realize the problem is definitely me, but Alex is legit the first character in SF6 who has frustrated me to fight against. Again, I know I'm missing something, but at the moment, it's feeling a little like things were in Tekken before I stopped.

C.J. Wilson @thiscjwilson.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Well put. We've all got to learn. And if people run around thinking every failing is irredeemable, all that happens is they learn to hide it as long as possible, and we have a tense, uncomfortable world.

Ya know I was gonna chime in with a comment about backing up your data and then that last step threw me

Been running into it in New York. Think it's people who were already antisemitic thinking that folks (rightfully) pissed at Israel will agree with their bigotry. They usually get thrown out, at least in my circles.

Feels like they're way more afraid of death and sickness than they are concerned with having a fun life.
