Secret Music

Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.

Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.

Omg twinsies except for the doing well and having a good life part.

Oooh, that actually makes sense lol. Guess I’m just slow.

Why do people do this? Not the first time I’ve seen someone comment the title of the post and nothing else. On Reddit, that would’ve been a sure sign that it was a GPT bot because that’s the kind of thing those bots do occasionally when they slip up.

Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.

Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being ‘manly’ enough.

And this kind of shit unfortunately is fuel for anti-vaxxers and conspiracy types. It’s not just misinformation on social media that we have to thank for people’s mistrust, it’s also the scientists that downplayed how bad sugar is or who turned a blind eye to what cigarettes do in the interests of money.

Not just MAGAs, this is on the whole world. I feel like they’ve been talking about and warning about global warming for all 39 years of my life now and most of these clown nations still have vague targets set for 2030, 2040 etc. Head clown Trump might be helping speed it up now but no one has approached this with any particular urgency. Our world leaders are just as effective at fighting climate change as they’ve been fighting misinformation on Twitter and Facebook.

I personally think that if there is a future where we write history books, our current crop of leaders in the world today are going to go down as the absolute worst and most useless sacks of shit, that sold out their people to both fascism and climate change.

I know that ‘Christians’ exist. Not sure I’ve ever met any Christians though.

I feel like those people are never going to vote though. The communists and socialists will be too busy going on about bourgeoisie this and that and won’t be satisfied unless Marx himself is running because no one else is good enough. And the anarchists will go going “why should I take this opportunity to fight fascists if I’m not getting my perfect anarchist utopia out of it? Don’t vote, it’ll go against your perfect idealism.” Just like they did this last time around.

I think that Bernie Sanders showed us that people who don’t have ideological sticks up their asses will be willing to vote for something better that gets us all a little bit closer to utopia, even if it’s not perfect yet. And as a non-American, I think AOC has that same infectious energy. But of course, as a non-American, I might also be underestimating how much Americans hate women and brown people.

Strange. I didn’t see a single mention of drag queens or trans people in there.

A lot of these idiots were stocking up on tinned food and prepping for the apocalypse before '94. They really are the typical conservatives where they’re simultaneously bullies that treat people like shit and ruin lives without a conscience, and the biggest victims of persecution in the world.

And as far as farm murders go. I’m really not condoning violence or minimising some of the awful, brutal things that have happened in that regard, women and children included. But I went to a boarding school in a shit hole conservative farming town in the early 2000s and there were a couple of farm murders in the region while I was there. And every time, there were whispers about how those farmers treated their workers like absolute trash, practically like sub humans.

This was an area where people were already just as racist as they were religious. And even they thought that these farmers were extreme and maybe kinda asking for it.

So yeah, one thing I can say is that it’s a lot more complicated than some evil plot against the white race.

Yeah that’s what I thought the other day as well. They should all get together and take Nintendo to court.

Wow no way! Are you telling me that the guy who hosted Fear Factor isn’t a scientific expert? Next you’ll be telling me that he isn’t an expert on politics or sociology either. And I’m not sure that I believe it. I mean, just look at how swole and manly he is. How could you not trust this guy with everything from voting advice to issues that should be left to scientists?

Take time to be a better person. Doing that fights them just as well as all the other stuff.

That is a great way of reframing it. And honestly it is a big help right now with the way I’ve been thinking lately. So thank you for taking the time to post this, seriously. I’ve got some thoughts that need rearranging now.

I’m in a similar space right now. Tired of being angry. Tired of feeling bad about things I said earlier when the people who it was said to will never feel bad about a thing in their lives. In a perfect world I would spend my days online looking at cat pictures, not despairing while these clowns dismantle women’s rights, trans rights, gay rights, religious freedom, environmental protections, workers rights etc. and their idiot legion thinking it’s all just wonderful.

It’s a catch 22 for me because I cannot and will not keep quiet. I’ve spent my life fighting these fucking people and I’m not about to stop now that the fight is more important than ever. Even if it most likely won’t amount to anything, considering that 50% of the world’s population seems to have been replaced by pod people over the last decade.

So I dunno. I’m personally at odds with being at a point in my life where I’d like to calm down and focus on arts and good conversation and being a better person; while the state of the world calls for people with spines more than ever.

Both? Just like the conspiracy theory crowd.

“Make South Africa Great Again”

They’ll make statements like this and then complain about people assuming that they’re racist bigots. Because I’m pretty sure they’re not talking about the '90s when Mandela was still in charge and there was hope and joy in the air in South Africa.

The well run ‘South Africa’ that they long for so much was the South Africa where the previous government only bothered doing their jobs for about 3% of the country before patting themselves on the back for a job well done. And they’re comparing that to a government that isn’t perfect but that also took on a lot more work and responsibility, and hasn’t just drawn lines on a map and labelled huge sections of the country as “homelands” that they don’t need to bother with.

I sincerely hope that when these people are flying over, there’s some big mishap with aviation caused by Musk and they end up at the bottom of the sea.

Wait, so in all these years that Europeans have been making fun of dumb Americans for having a two party system, and for having no real left wing options, the UK has been basically the same?
