  • Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.

    Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we’re facing.

    Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we’re not in the class of people to make that change happen.

    So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I’ll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.















  • Witcher 3. Spoilers here, btw.

    I will never forget riding my horse up to The Baron’s residence after losing his child and his wife and seeing him hanging from the tree. They do such a good job making his character barely tolerable at first, then make him slowly grow on you after you learn he’s just like you. Scared, confused, and lost. He lashes out because he’s trying to protect his family, but the weight of losing it is the end is too much for him.

    Truly, what a masterclass in narrative design, and it’s only a sliver of what that game has to offer.
