Are you listening? Are you there? Let’s take it back to Karen at the retail store. Let’s turn on our open minds as well as our infinite disgust at the fact that not one thing has ever been written that could reliably de-Karen-ize a human being immediately. Let’s turn on our hope that we’re justContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and The Banality of Karen – Level 15 : To a Karen, Retail Workers are like Pinball Machines, Ready To Have Their Buttons Pushed [Nightmare C: Good Desires]”

Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 7 : Exploitative Explorers are like Goofy Glitch Hunters
They’re not teaching about Christopher Columbus like they used to. It’s a good thing, right? Talking about what people actually did, both intentional and not, rather than embellishing it under tactless grandiosity. Perhaps you’re among the types overjoyed to see holidays changed to honor the people exploited by conquistadors and the like. Perhaps it makesContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 7 : Exploitative Explorers are like Goofy Glitch Hunters”
Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 5 : Lazy Content Recyclers are as Chill as Fans of Emulation (and bank robbers)
There doesn’t seem to be a way to criticize people for “recycling” content. YouTube channels just trying to exploit the algorithm……video game sequels that change hardly anything……news articles that practically steal from somebody else……tracing somebody else’s art…..releasing your own archive of content and branding it as something new and special…it’s kind of gross, right? ButContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 5 : Lazy Content Recyclers are as Chill as Fans of Emulation (and bank robbers)”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Damn Those Sexy Retro Consoles
My kindred left the apartment to finally live somewhere else recently. He’s not far, so he plans on visiting every Saturday to come and eat and get some support from us. He left behind the Sega Genesis retro console that he never actually plugged in. I’m very tempted to give it a try on myContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Damn Those Sexy Retro Consoles”
Cultural Rave – The Only Babyish Gaming Opinion
I’ve seen a lot of people argue about gaming opinions, and I almost always have at least a little respect for them. But there’s only one opinion I can’t seem to forgive, can’t seem to respect. “I don’t play indie games. I don’t like indie games.” And especially when it’s said by somebody who playsContinue reading “Cultural Rave – The Only Babyish Gaming Opinion”
