i still can’t believe hiveswaps gonna be E10+. thats so surreal to me. the game based on hit webcomic “ouija board of cock” homestuck ain’t gonna say fuck. not even once
the characters in homestuck were 13 so it makes sense to choose the rating that owuld allow 13 yr olds to play it
Saying “Fuck it” actually motivates me more than “You can do this”.
Because saying “fuck it” includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile “you can do this” focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety
“you can’t do it” motivates me even more than “fuck it” because if someone tells me i can’t, fuck them I do what i want.
As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”
- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.
