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)”

There doesn’t seem to be any way to actually criticize the most insufferable public behavior committed by adults. Nor a way to try and prevent the most difficult situations in the workplace, which lead to somebody getting fired. Perhaps most unfortunately, plenty of people throw their lives away in an abject fit of violence. ThoughContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 4 : Major Adult Freakouts are like Showing Off Before Losing in a Collectible Card Game”

It doesn’t seem possible to criticize people for abusive language or abusive behavior anymore. It’s almost like we, as a species, have managed to hit a wall. It comes from a place far too sincere to try and nullify, doesn’t it? In the Roguelike genre of video games, making it to the end of aContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 3 : Calling a Loved One a Burden is as Nifty as Managing Curses in Dungeons”

You ever get shitty luck while playing an RPG? How about an open world game? High level enemies come out of nowhere. Your ass clenches a little. You dread losing progress. And yet, sometimes, you choose to fight instead of run. It feels rather spicy, doesn’t it? Like nobody told you this is what videoContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 1 : Supermarket Menaces Loathe the Fleeing Option in RPGs”

A long time ago, somebody told me that if you want somebody to care about what you have to say, tell them a story. So follow along. Get inside my head. Yesterday, I left a job involving making calls for charities. I only lasted a few days. I put utter tons of heart into justContinue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #13 – A Job Quit Evening Diary – (Charity Evacuation/Skateboard Solicitor/Train Paralysis/Buffet Patrol/Leftover McFlurry) [Five Fingers on the Heart of the Formerly Inexplicable]”

Hey, did you read the previous post? Pretty good, right? I’ve never felt so proud about how well I’ve described my past. About the chance I could really hold the wrist of someone about to do something beautifully extreme, and maybe they’d finally stop in place. But you want to know something else? I readContinue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #12 – Arresting The Russian Blank Paper Guy Is Far From Insanity, and That’s The Unexplained Phenomenon (International Bonus Track)”

It was a long time ago. I sent a message to someone, saying that we should meet up and talk things over to figure out how we feel about each other. Despite the messaging system being there. It was a very complicated scenario, perhaps one that even a writer of stories would envy in itsContinue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #11 – “Let’s Talk it Over” Proposals are a Person at Their Most Undespicably Hurtful (Prom Night for Situational Fury)”

We look upon outrageous nefariousness under the guise of glory. Pretentious, pompous politicians. Creators of crooked contests. Dastardly, deadly descendants. That guy from Jeopardy who was supposed to, like…..take over the show after other people fought to inherit the televisual crown by guest hosting for a bit. People declaring themselves the winner, pretty much, wherever.Continue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #10- Declaring Himself the Successor of Jeopardy!

When I enter the shower, the hot steam feels nice. I like the contrast of the cold wind beyond the window, and the burning heat of the water inside of it. But almost every time, I find myself feeling something resembling self hatred. The steam becomes rather irritating. I can enjoy the heat on myContinue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #9 – Frustration over Too Much Steam in a Shower is not Too Ugly of a Vibe”

I read an article a while back about a woman who left her Christmas trees up too long. She got ostracized, or something. Maybe just a simple teasing? Was it her community, or the internet? I don’t remember. Did she end up actually having COVID-19? Maybe it was Cancer? I don’t remember. It’s not reallyContinue reading “The Heart’s Three Infamous Positive Energy Directives #8 – Shaming Late Holiday Decorations is the Embodiment of Criticism-Immune Adult Energy”
