OMG!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

starbomb was really good. i’m not a musician or anything so maybe it’s a crazy thought, but i hope someday i can put on some sort of show that lures out all the boston nerds and queers. my people 🥹 i love video games

like why is ANYONE building a data center right now?? why is everything gambling and mass produced and quick and cheap and getting worse while our previous level of output was already poised to drive us to extinction??

yes AI is also bad for countless other reasons, but like, when i think of the kind of technological breakthroughs this moment demands, the ability to make everything sloppier, faster, cheaper, and more environmentally costly is NOT on the list

i actually cannot possibly wrap my head around the idea of staring down the barrel of the climate crisis and going “you know what we need to do? pour untold billions of dollars into a technology that consumes a ridiculous amount of water and pollutes and warms the environment even faster”

the botw video script has been sent to my proofreaders! hopefully editing based on the feedback won’t take too long, i feel like i’ve spent so long on this draft that i can’t stand looking at it anymore. i keep wanting to throw it all away and start over, but i’ll resist the urge for now lol.

riku my shayla….

are we ACTUALLY doing “israel invented waze” in the GARGANTUAN 2026

ive spent a year on one particular thing and i am constantly doing battle with myself in this way. it is interesting as an emotional experience to have to confront a self you might have even forgotten lol

this necessarily means that i’m putting so much more of myself into this video. this is my analysis, these are my conclusions, and people WILL disagree with them. that is inevitable. i guess all i can really hope is that i’m able to make a final product i can be proud of.

the botw video, on the other hand, is more exploratory, it’s teasing apart what the game is saying, in terms of gameplay, presentation, story, etc., what people say about the game, what it means to me, and what it means more broadly, if it even means anything at all.

that’s what makes this video so much harder to write than the totk video, i think. for the totk video, the thesis was “this game sucks” and the evidence was the game itself. you can argue about how big of an issue “secret stone demon king” is, but you can’t argue that that’s how the game shipped.

i think i’m ultimately going to need to be content in knowing i did my best to capture my feelings and analysis of the game at this point in my life, and that those feelings will likely change in ways both large and small in the future.

it must be said that it’s very difficult to edit a script when the drafting process took nearly two years. i’m editing the beginning now, and some of it is fine the way it is, but other parts makes me go “wait, do i even still believe that?” and then i’m sent down a rabbit hole 😵‍💫

i understood that reference
