In my defense I was asked for my most unhinged position, so I can only support what I say so far

All avant-garde literature is either Protestant (Hemingway et al) or Catholic (Nabokov et al) and David Foster Wallace killed himself because he had Protestant ethics and Catholic talent.

i mean that is just so normal these days. if someone is online talking about a guy who wrote a book about comic books they are a big nerd and big nerds online just spend all day smugly announcing shit they did not look up

I don't know why they're mad at this game but the first one was awesome and the new one sponsored a samurai movie film festival so they're wrong

Gaming culture warriors must always have a target in their crosshairs, and right now it's Ghost of Yotei. Sucker Punch should back Erika, developers, content creators, & journalists with as much gusto as it fired an employee for joking about Charlie Kirk. (OG screenshot removed, no clout for them)

The actual most annoying problem is there are no consequences for being the thousands of too-online people who spent 2009-now making it necessary for devs to avoid being quoted saying anything that's not about the game they are currently promoting.

Delightfully ingenious travel journal which uses “hieroglyphic” plates to recount an 1814 voyage to the Caribbean: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/hieroglyphic-journal-of-a-voyage-to-the-caribbean-1815

You cannot do this class without tracing the path of much earlier work in the fine art realm that made relying on other peoples' work in its fine detail a morally and creatviely acceptable strategy--Warhol, Lichtenstein, etc

i would want them to very clearly define "hate and harassment" and then take concrete steps (not just advice) to help any individual in the field who could prove they were experiencing it, without bias. If members were proved to be harassers, I would want that to be grounds to expel them.
