    This comic is fucking disgusting. Please take it down. We don’t need children exposed to such sickening depictions of reality.

    First of all, who the fuck goes to bed at 7pm? Second of all, why is sexy Jesus on the wall, and not on the ceiling (so we can pray, even when our eyes are half-lidded), and finally, how is the moonlight so bright when its a waning crescent?!

    At the risk of sounding obnoxious, the only reference point you need here is the main plot device of the Dragonball series: collect 7 balls > get a wish.

    I’m asking sincerely, not rhetorically: is this niche cultural knowledge? In my mind it’s like understanding the point of pokemon is capturing animals in balls, or that P. Sherman lives at 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Harry Potter is a wizard.

    A mental illness is not inherently associated with having a condition.

    Transgenderism is not a condition.

    Gender dysphoria is a condition, that doesn’t inherently make it a mental illness.

    People with gender dysphoria may experience it as a mental illness, but that doesnt make “transgenderism” a mental illness.

    All this is besides the point because having a mental illness doesn’t mean anything. I’ve had mentally illnesses come and go with depression and anxiety.

    What most people refer to as mental illness is some kind of delusional thinking.

    Here’s the question I have for those people: if your mother got dementia, how would you treat her?

    Would you tell her that she’s delusional, and she needs to pretending its the 70’s, and tell her she doesn’t deserve the same rights as others?

    Or would you be compassionate to her, regardless of what your perspective is, because it costs you nothing.





  • To plagiarise myself from an earlier post:

    The fact they’re going to use the same fucking engine until the end of time is enough for me to tap out, regardless of whether the game is ‘good’

    The whatever engine is the same tech stack thats been duct-taped since Morrowind. It’s built on code from the early 2000s, and there are things that just can’t be fixed without scrapping the whole foundation.

    You want to decouple physics from frame rate? Fuck you, the physics tick still runs off the render loop.

    You want multithreaded logic? Fuck you, the scripting and AI all run on the main thread.

    You want proper world streaming instead of 3×3 cell loading? Fuck you, the world still freezes beyond your bubble.

    You want reliable saves that don’t implode when a mod changes a record? Fuck you, it’s all still FormIDs tied to giant serialized blobs.

    You want modern animation blending? Fuck you, it’s still a Havok skeleton from the Oblivion era with duct-taped IK.

    Every ‘new engine’ is just another layer of duct tape. They can slap PBR on it, tweak lighting, and call it Creation Engine 2, but under the hood it’s the same brittle mess that’s been dragging bugs forward for twenty years.

    I’m done funding experiments built on bones that should’ve been buried a decade ago.

    To be fair I think that method acting requires you to let go of your conceptual self, so I can see why Carey wouldn’t necessarily think it was him, if he was in character.

    To clarify: I don’t think there’s necessarily anything happening which is particularly interesting neurologically, but it is to say that I don’t think the act of spitting on someone is necessarily the asshole move. I think the asshole move is to commit yourself to staying in character. There’s something to be said for whether the commitment itself is worth it as an actor, and whether actions could be excused or forgiven, but I’m not here to make those points.

    Where I am here to say is that Carey’s choice to commit to staying in character makes him responsible for the impact and outcomes on other people.

    It makes me think of Jared Leto, who was probably just trying a bit too hard, and sent dead rats to his co-stars or something?

    I think that’s a case of trying to bootstrap method acting but was certainly not very convincing. I think there’s a case to be made that ‘Leto’ was responsible for that one. I’d call it “cosplaying at being obnoxious”. In this case, I’d say Leto is responsible for those actions.
