If Elon Musk was [[FORCED INTO RETIREMENT AND PERMA-BANNED FROM THE INTERNET TOMORROW]] the world would be a better place.
The other of the rich men said to him "Master, what good thing shall I do and live?" He said to him "Man, perform the law and the prophets." He answered him "I have performed them." He said to him "Go, sell all that thou hast and divide it to the poor, and come, follow me."
Finally, one of Elon's posts on X has broken through to the Fox News audience.

How do you do a successful "content analysis" podcast if the "content" that you pick has already been blown out, especially if it's happened on multiple shows.
People have done it, including when other shows have already been out there, so it can be done - it's just not easy to distinguish yourself

I've been kicking around the idea of doing an Animorphs re-read for the last few weeks (and before that). I haven't actually done it since 2013.
In 2022 I got about 3 books in doing it concurrently with the podcast (subtweet), but it was too much.

"How can I support the game the most?" is a very kind question and no matter where you buy it is great! word of mouth for this game has had a big impact, so tell your pals and leave a review while you're at it ✌️

We're setting the culture. We're here. Our time is now. Time to go out there and get it.
Millennial-centric culture has gone from the old days of file-sharing/forums/websites/early Youtube into the modern super-power structure of broadcast TV, Hollywood, etc as we have aged into these roles.
That's a HUGE change from 2016 to 2026.
Underground to Dominant.
That's my take, anyway.

PERFECT TIDES: STATION TO STATION
Plot is the main thing. It's good, but often cumbersome and tortuous.
Gameplay is... not the strongest.
I'm glad this series exists and I would be totally down for checking in on Mara Whitefish every 3-5 years.
But as a video game? There's work to do.

Me in 2021: oh my god Toby Fox made a piece of millennial culture!!! I've never seen this before!
Which was almost certainly a horrible take by me.
But even since 2021, the millennials have ascended to much more powerful creative positions in media and it's absolutely FLOODED the zone.

Doesn't effect the letter grade but the fact that her brother is Joe Gran is hilarious.
He's got a voice credit in this game!
So now there's a direct through line from WE GOTTA GET SPONGEBOB BACK / DOG OF WISDOM / AUDREY AND VICTOR to Perfect Tides.
Which actually makes sense. Millennial culture.

I am surprised by the near-total lack of buzz this game generated.
Check out the store steam page. 75 reviews? And besides AV Club, basically no mainstream press?
It vanished into the void and this game most definitely did NOT deserve that.
I hope M Gran can get this one noticed more over time.

•The Rosetta conversation, after many hours of presenting her as aloof-distant-untouchable-higher station, is well done.
•I don’t blame Cline for his behavior (yet?). He’s dealing with shit in other areas of his life and it comes out when he talks to Mara. I could be wrong, he could be a creep.
