@InspectorCaracal that last one is just the new middle square honestly

@InspectorCaracal admittedly many video games are actually bullshit

but i think it may be more, in both cases, the "95% of everything is shit" is being enforced, not the base concept

........also cishet white dudes dominating and domineering both fields to control what is seen as typical and what is an accepted form of those particular ideas honestly

also i'd make a bingo card for my masto account but it'd just be

TOO MANY FUCKIN WORDS

in every square

anyway "video game stories suck", often meaning "i didn't interact with this interactive story and it ended up doing nothing for me, so this sucks", is going to be the new version of "they paid how much for this?! my kid could do that! modern art is bullshit!" send toot

anyway it's time to get on with the worst part of pre-surgery nonsense: showers three days in a row.

as someone who could only collect spoons for two a *week* if i was *lucky* because of pain i expect this is going to end with me sobbing in the tub while someone hoses me down with a garden sprayer

moritori te salutamus and all that bullshit, stay tuned for further rampant whining

at some point it's just somebody saying "anyone who has cried because of a piece of music needs to read a fucken book, like music has any good writing in it, gawd"

a book and a piece of music are two fundamentally different things by definition...?

i'm probably just Not Getting The Cool Hip Masto Kids Joke but goddamn if i wanted to be surrounded by people with flagpoles up their asses i'd go back to the english department to get shamed for not dry humping james joyce continuously or w/e

of course a video game is going to be different than a book or a movie, on account of it being a video game. good and compelling and genuinely interesting stories can be told in this interactive way taking advantage of this interactivity, the same way good comic books take advantage of being sequential art instead of a print-out of a script.

if a work is good because it's in a certain medium, you can't just substitute it with an entirely different medium and say it's better now

i may just be jaded after too many jackasses in ffxiv tbh

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GAME SUCKS"

well what plot point is confusing

"IDK LOL I SKIPPED ALL THE CUTSCENES"

ok did you read the quest text or

"NO I SKIPPED IT COS IT WAS BORING LOL"

so you skipped all the story in a final fantasy game that promises a lush and intricate story, is praised for its story, and people play for the story, and now you're upset you don't know what's going on

"YEAH, THIS GAME SUCKS"

@nuttgodd i mean... some video games *are* genuinely compelling and well-written, and are that way because they aim to be good video games and not, say, good books or good movies

maybe i'm missing the joke here

@InspectorCaracal i did the math it checks out

@InspectorCaracal (the other 10% is basic tailoring)

@InspectorCaracal .........honestly i could see you rocking it tho

90% of fashion is just doing whatever you like but really confidently

i can tell though that my shoulder is still angry, i'm just no longer at an 8.5/10 pain wise

i can tell this because every so often it just. twitches. and jerks in one direction.

this is an improvement from being a solid and immobile mass of fully cramped up screaming muscle, but still

my dudes i woke up at 9:30 with my shoulder screaming due to thunderstorms and i barely choked down my morning painkillers, then sat for several hours before feeling like i could take more pills and not throw up, found where the last few pills of an anti-nausea med had been stashed, took those, and now, finally, at 3:30 pm, my pain is down enough for me to eat something
