They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

“nah I’m fine” I tell a colleague who is checking in to make sure I’m not overworked, then I go home, drop my jacket on the floor, and lie down for 15min because I need 15min of complete silence before I do anything else with my evening

I managed to shake off my bad mood with a long walk in bad weather with some blues music. It's the oldest trick I have, and it still works. Sometimes I need to remind myself just how fucked everything is, then I can see that I'm still doing alright.

I'm so glad Lumines Arise exists. As a Lumines fan, I'll take whatever I can get, but I had no idea it would be this good.

They spent $69bn on Activision, but the only reason I know a new Call of Duty game came out this week is because I see everyone complaining about the AI slop. I still haven't seen a single ad for the game.

I was in a bad mood, and it might have to do with turning 36 in less than 30 days (birthdays and I don't get along), but I woke up early and watched Pluribus, and now I'm doing fine.
I could probably do this all weekend.
Just.. shut my brain up with movies/shows.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I just did a workout I haven't done in TWO years, and it kicked my ass, but my heart rate was fine, so I guess there's nothing stopping me from doing that a second time this week.

I hated life at 16, I hated life at 26. I'll be 36 next month, but to my surprise, I'm doing fine. I just want to work on games that excite me, listen to good music, stay healthy, and fuck this up as little as possible.
