The internet and moral policing.... it gets reactions/interactions. That's why it's so popular. Normie is a perfect coining for it. . I like cold, hard facts.... and it's something I demand more and more. I don't want some random guy who is exposed to so little life and with the desire to curate a persona and a following. The moment I even sense a dictation of right and wrong, I switch off, I turn away, I reject. The more I believe the internet and social media is damaging, and will only get worse, the more I want every online interaction to have purpose, meaning and learning. Was it on your channel that you brought up the possibility of the internet being totally run by bots? That 90% of comments aren't even real? In some ways, I hope it is. The sooner it eats itself, the sooner we may start to reconnect. Maybe. Hahahah! I did notice what you were pointing at in the shop window. I just thought you were maybe considering new art materials for a new project hehe - Easter bonnets maybe? I have wondered if I might ever recognise you both in real life, and I did right away. I had no qualms about announcing myself., you kittens, you! Inbox open for Q&A dates and times hahaha I am all for the hugs. I appreciated it. I've said it a lot for ages now, and I appreciate you both very much. You get it [gestures to the world] Hamilton - I really enjoy a lot of the songs. I am a pop music fan, and the songs are very rousing and entertaining. I like the seamless use of genre and storytelling. My issue with the show is the second act. I feel it unravels SO fast, it moves through too much and is really disjointed. Compared to Act 1 anyway. I was really surprised at the end when everyone around me started crying too. The music entertained me, but the show didn't move me. Luiza! Human voices in a chorus strikes right through to my heart too. It makes my skin tingle. In February, for my 40th birthday, me and my partner went to Ripon. We had the opportunity to go to Evensong at the Cathedral. The choral music, in that environment, with those acoustics, made me cry. It was very special and it felt like a privilege to be there. Fan of Bjork's Medulla? ;)

2025-03-25 17:26:08 +0000 UTCDisco Elysium is so dense with information outside of what is happening on the screen at particular moment, that it creates something like a cloud of bouncing ideas in the subconscious, constantly present and plasticly shaping how you perceive the game. In no other game have I experienced it so strong. Not even close. I've yet to play Planescape: Torment and I'm currently learning Japanese to play games like Xenogears. Those probably also have great narratives, but I don't think they will have this qualia I wrote about. I wonder if something similar exists. On another topic, thanks a lot for creating "Foundations of Film" watchlist. I would never have watched the old films without it. I just finished the first page (without "City Lights", "Strike" and "Mother", to which I will return later, when I'll have enough stamina). It was really difficult. It was especially hard to watch "Intolerance", ,,Destiny" "The Mysterious X", "Greed", "Battleship Potemkin", "Metropolis", "Ace in the Hole", Charlie Chaplin's movies and neorealism movies. Chronological order kept me motivated, but because some films close to each other were very similar they lacked freshness and often felt like something life draining, although this whole journey was great.
