An exploration of #VideoGame performances, this book merges #MediaTheory with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.
It is nearly impossible to play solo. I failed my first mission on the "Easiest" difficulty because I couldn't figure out how to deal with the bugs that swarm the extraction point.
I "won" my second mission by running in circles avoiding the bugs, since I couldn't kill them fast enough or find and close the holes.
This reminds me why I don't play shooters. Oh well.
I also played a bit of #Destiny as an adult; which kind of broke ground on the whole "Main Story + Post-Story Events + Seasons with story + cosmetics + equipment" as a revenue / play model.
And while nostalgic, I don't play games to be "Challenged" (life is hard enoug!)
Tonight's fun fact: One of the guest stars in this episode is Tracy Scoggins who plays Gilora Rejal, a Cardassian scientist.
This wasn't her only appearance on a '90s sci-fi TV show. She played Captain Elizabeth Lochley, CO of the Babylon 5 station in the 5th and final season of "Babylon 5".
I don't think it was an insurrection but #AlexJones sounds like a totally crazy asshole here. Sadly there's a lot of people who appreciate this rambling, tough guy routine enough to buy whatever he sells. If it was less of a debate but more of a conversation, I would have loved to hear @ggreenwald call him out, but they were technically on the same side. Never heard of #Destiny or the #KrassensteinBros before but they handled the situation well. https://rumble.com/v45l7kt-january-7-2024.html?mref=x3y6f&mrefc=3
The Best of All Possible Worlds: Mathematics and Destiny
Optimists believe this is the best of all possible worlds. And pessimists fear that might really be the case. But what is the best of all possible worlds? How do we define it? Is it the world that operates the most efficiently? Or the one in which most people are comfortable and content?
The sort of "winter fantasy" theme the armor sets all have remind me of something from my childhood that I can't quite place. Sort of Narnia-ish, but not quite. But I feel like there's gotta be a name for this design theme. "Regal Christmas"?...
#Hamas today released further 13 hostages, most of which are children, including two 4 years old.
While some hail Hamas for apparently being the most merciful and humanitarian hostage-taker in the world, let that sink in: you've got adult men and women who take 4 years old kids as hostages...
@freemo@kravietz > If you can show you are the direct descendant and prove it with paper work of someone 1000 years ago taking your land from you, and you can show specifically what plot of land you owned, then yea, that land should be yours. Virtually no individual jew can do that.
Wait a second, hold on. Now, this is secondhand research (I've heard #Destiny mention this on his streams several times and he's pretty well-read on the subject but I don't know his sources well), but isn't that literally the main reason why Palestinians have been having trouble making the case for getting back into the homes they've been displaced from, as they didn't have written deeds?
Seeing #Destiny’s brain got broken by the concept of “talking”, “seeing”, and non-exclusive dating without labels is HILARIOUS to me.
I do think that “dating” without labels is stupid and shouldn’t be on the list. After all, if you’re dating without labels, you’re just in denial that you’re in a relationship tbh. But, I do generally believe in these concepts:
Talking (Speaking regularly to someone you like because you like them with the goal of flirting with them at least)
Seeing (Going on dates with someone you’re not in a relationship with)
Dating (An exclusive boyfriend-girlfriend relationship)
Married (An exclusive lifelong husband-wife relationship)
Is there a term for the aesthetic used in the Dawning?
