Just some pathetic cis white boy from Canada’s worst province who never amounted to much of anything. Work in a grocery store that is mostly okay, but don’t make enough to live off so I’m resigned to just trying to not cry too much every day. I have a partner I dearly love.
Akhenaten, you gotta love some who tries to tear down the old system and build something new. Was it dismantled and returned to the old system? Sure, but points for trying. I don’t love that he abandoned dope cool Egyptian polytheism, for a weird worship of the Atun, as a singular god. But you rebel at what is before you, so down with the old gods, up with a new one!
The only thing I hate more than AGILE or any other workplace words, is the rock headed coworkers who try to defend it.
I played the Lakehouse for Alan Wake 2, which was quite short (3 hours) but it was high quality, with some excellent gameplay modifications to basically let you turn off combat (one shot kill, invulnerable, infinite ammo, infinite flashlight power) so I was able to ignore an apparently terrible boss fight.
It’s a pretty obvious stab from remedy at the notion of using AI to mimic art, but I love when the subtext becomes the text itself so I enjoyed it.
Continuing through master rank monster hunter rise. Beta for wilds begins tomorrow though so I’ll sample the various weapons and try to figure out what weapon I’ll focus on this game (I’ve played hammer, sword and shield, dual blade, light bowgun, switch axe and charge blade) I’m leaning towards hunting horn I think, but might want to try heavy bowgun, and great sword is always tempting.
Notice she talks alot about her families ancestry, about what scary leftists were doing to push her away (literally the softest left shit possible) and somehow never talks about how she was making money? What jobs was she working? What tax bracket did she fall into? I think all that would be way better at revealing why she left the left.
Causally reading my city’s subreddit and the really just jumped out as I was reading a story about police recovering alot of stolen items from one homeless guy. The usual, “oh why can’t we solve this?” Without any clue, suggestions of more police, more mental health institutions, except the heavily down voted guy who said the obvious “give them homes!” That pissed off all the people who I assume are threatened by people having safe places to live.
The thing that really broke my brain was a heavily upvoted comment about how we really need to set these bad folks straight, you know break them through work, and literally wrote out “work shall.set them free”. And I’m done with my local subreddit for a long while now. 50 upvotes, the guy who calls it out as being a fucking literal Nazis concentration camp motto is down voted and I can’t even anymore.
Final dlc for Alan Wake 2 is out so I’m going to give that a try and hope it is full of tasty lore nuggets that crave for the control universe.
And next week we get the monster hunter wilds bets so that will be consuming my time for a week.
I mean it’s important to remember that the people on dropout are professional comedians who have spent considerable time cultivating their craft, they probably attended some improv classes or did open mic stuff.
We can’t feel bad because aren’t as funny when we work jobs and play fun videos instead of finely sharpening our funny bones.
I’m being handed a note now… Most of the performers on dropout are also working side gigs because they don’t earn enough to live in the LA area so they functionally work two jobs… and now I think I may just not be funny and I shall have to be okay with that. Stealing bits from other people will be my mainstay.
Ross is insane at what he does, which is musical improv, and the game changer episode where he and his Shakespearean improv troupe improv a play with prompts from Sam is completely insane at how good they are.
I imagine these comedians spend a lot of time focused on simply practicing a variety things that don’t work. Also who knows how much gets left on the floor, maybe they do get prompts that they can’t come up with some worthy of making it into the episode and we don’t see that because they just want to showcase the good stuff. They do show some cut content that is completely amazing as well so there has to be some flubs as well.
Edit, I recall reading Lewis’s black’s autobiography and he states he spent years of doing terrible terrible standup before he eventually got even halfway decent enough to consider leaving the one open mic event he practiced at initially. So I assume there is a river of failed routines behind all improv and stand-up comedians and only by practicing away the bad stuff do they reach mostly good stuff we see.
