UBON'S PROFILE

sleep don't pacify us until
daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
dizzy when we talk so fast
fields of numbers streamin' past

Yes. Car advertisers have a profound disconnect from reality.

gimme commercials that are just the carfucker 20xx playlist mastered into short films

give me the logical endpoint of desperate lifestyle marketing

wait, people actually read BizarreMonkey's posts?

I just wanted to find a not-horribly-pixelated version of that cartoon and found it
oh, my mistake -- I thought you were posting it in agreement, or something, which seemed pretty damn weird

in other news, Chibi Robo is a fun game about a small robot

Then this discussion is over. That's too bad, because I really enjoy talking with you and your insights.

it's a shame, but it's also something I deal with a lot and it's exhausting to try to untangle the issue sometimes. I understand you're speaking earnestly and it's just a matter of different perspectives, but I really need to be in a decent mood to talk about it in any even vaguely-productive sense -- my 'ugh' threshold is unfairly low, otherwise. it's something I'm trying to work on, but today isn't a great day for it in any sense. sorry.

e: I had trouble realizing that that car commercial was a car commercial at first tbh. is this typical of that style of advertising?

I really don't care about this equivocation, Feld. do research before you take someone who's proven himself so grotesquely unreliable at his word. that's all I want or expect from you.

No because you need your fantasy boycott to be something they believe in

my degree is in yelling at trans people

'oh I'm not actually super mad about this thing I've been raging about for months I'm just trolling ;D'

do you think I could pay off my tuition faster if I convinced gamers that feminists are trying to boycott my education

like maybe before you take one of the most angry reactionaries on the forum at his word that an evil feminist cabal is trying to get games banned you should check your facts and stuff

this is precisely the blind, credulous outrage that makes it so tempting for companies to say 'hey, gamers! SJWs don't want you to give us money! give us money to show them what-for!'

the idea that DOAX3 was under attack by critics for sexist content is something entirely invented by opportunistic marketers. the devs themselves only expressed concern that it might come under criticism if released to the West, and it's widely suspected that this is just a way of distracting from the actual reason: the series' historically poor sales in Western markets. prior to this decision, DOAX3 was not on literally anyone's radar -- the strongest feeling that feminist critics typically have toward the series is resignation and boredom.

people will believe absolutely anything is the fault of ~SJWs~ if they want to. the word has effectively become a dogwhistle term for assholes to use, and a lazily condensed version of the 'these people care too much about something that doesn't affect me' fallacy. I'm kind of surprised at what I'm seeing from some people in the last few posts -- you should know better, after seeing months of the same spiteful bullshit from the same two or three people.

... and, well, less surprised at a couple others.

that political cartoon and the attached rant are a fucking disgrace, I can say that much.

'stockboy' sounds great as like, a really laid-back colloquial term for extra lives

pixel art is awesome

I've said it before but I hope the people who put that video together are having a good day
