With Half-Life being talked about again, I do want to reiterate that Gordon Freeman went to work at one morning and; aside from being knocked unconscious and put into stasis a few times; went without sleep for the next six consectutive days

scurvy has got to have one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unraveling and old wounds come back to haunt you like vengeful ghosts. unless☝️you eat a lemon
"And you, SUH! Are you waiting to receive my LIMP PENIS!?"
for those who don't know, he was completely innocent. they misidentified him as someone else they were looking for.
so all of this wasn't him trying to look innocent. this was him actually being innocent.
He was literally just having a succulent Chinese meal.
"tata, and farewell"
I genuinely wasn't expecting the intonations this guy uses. It's like he's on stage pretending to be english, while also fighting with police
every bad faith poster says shit like “competitive players don’t care about Pokémon as individuals, they only care about them as stats and numbers on a spreadsheet, it proves N right” and then actual competitive players are like “I’m running a heatran team meaning I’ve looked at its render a lot the last few days, and I’ve started to see a repressed sadness in his eyes. I think he dreams of a better life he doesn’t let himself live. Is this just me”
Competitive fans are doin stuff like this
This is the game they made a brain rot movie of and it is kinda sad seeing such a big piece of nostalgia turned into something that is clearly not geared towards the age group who was raised with it. They could’ve made something so beautiful and at least tried to replicate that magical feeling of being a kid and discovering/learning everything this game has to offer whilst the soft music plays in the background.
The saddest part is that they could've 100% aimed this movie at children and still make a good movie adults can enjoy as well.
But no... they made a movie neither kids nor adults enjoy...
people blaming the non-voters instead of the party that ran the dogshit center-right campaign feel a lot like people who blame a stand-up comic bombing on the crowd instead of the comedian. it was kinda their job to win people over
I've lost the love of my life, and my fingers refuse to write the word “death” in connection with him. I am still in denial, grappling with the harsh truth that he is gone. Now, I live amidst the ruins of memories—everything around me serves as a reminder of him. He adored the sky and the sea, always fascinated by the stars. I once told him that I wished the roof of our future home could be made of glass, so we could gaze at the stars together, dreaming of our life ahead. But all of that is now shattered, forever lost since Israel took away the soul of the one I cherished most.
My life has become an empty void, devoid of any motivation to take a single step forward. I find no desire to cry, to eat, or even to exist. Each day is a relentless cycle, repeating itself, as I wait for the moment of my death. I often find myself lost in thoughts of how it might happen: will I die whole, or will my body be scattered, pieces of me consumed by stray dogs and cats?
➡️Now, my focus has shifted to my family and the desperate need to save them from this hell we call home. This is not just a plea; it is a campaign for survival.
Please, if you can, do not hesitate to donate and help us find safety. Every bit counts in this fight for our lives.
My campaign has been verified

ya being kafkaesque isn’t about turning into a bug it’s about how if you turned into a bug your boss would still be like “ok but we’re short staffed can u still come in”
while i understand that this is meant to be a joke about hellish capitalism, again, we cannot erase an important dimension to his work: franz kafka was a jew. he and his families were jews during a time period where traditional, religiously-based jew hatred was being replaced with a new pseudoscientific belief that jews were to be hated and oppressed because they were a subhuman race. this transition to race-based hatred of jews meant that even assimilated jews- who considered themselves citizens of states before they were ever jews- were now being irrationally targeted and hunted.
the term “anti-Semitism” was created specifically to name this new racial hatred of Jews. it was coined in 1879- 4 years before Kafka was born.
in “the metamorphosis”, Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a "monstrous vermin". in kafka’s real world, jews woke up one morning, in their country that they were told was now enlightened and accepting of all people, and found out that they were now considered “monstrous vermin”. and then 6 million jews of his generation were exterminated.
i am giving the simplest analysis to this right now, but we need to understand that you cannot just blanketly universalize his work. you cannot remove the context of kafka’s jewishness or that he lived at a time when antisemitism became fervently racial. yes, discuss how his work comments on capitalism, society, etc. but to only use ONLY these lenses and to ONLY universalize his work is dishonest, whitewashes his work and life, and further exhibits how little non-jews know or care about the jewish history and the how antisemitism has impacted jews for over 2000 years.
In addition, Gregor Samoa is widely understood to be a stand-in for Kafka himself. While we can't diagnose him, he did have symptoms of body dysmorphia, and he struggled with his sexuality as well as suicidal ideation.
All of Kafka's writing was deeply personal. He viewed it both as a form of prayer and of purging.
sticky little fucker can still chuff back a durry even when the wee cunt's upside down
just saw someone on reddit asking if there's any touhou mods to replace ZUN's art so they could introduce their friends to the game without being "put off by the ugly art". You do not deserve their cunty slay fighting game sprites if you cannot learn to love a touhou girl in her natural habitat.
They actually make physical media for a much larger percentage of movies than they ever did in the past. Often with a lot more care than any small release was treated in the early dvd days. Its just if you only watch streaming stuff or the big new recent box office hits you won't see that. It is so ridiculously easy to get physical media for movies that even 5 years ago you couldn't even find. Like yes Netflix is a stingy bastard but so many things are available on disc WITH special features than ever before
And here is where you can get them! (mostly American)
And specific labels:
- Kino Lorber
- Criterion
- Arrow Films (UK based)
- Shout Factory
- Eureka (UK based)
- Vinegar Syndrome
- Synapse
- Warner Archive
- Indicator/Powerhouse (UK based)
- Severin
- Second Sight (UK based)
- Umbrella (Australia based)
And many of these have sales several times a year so if you're patient you don't need to buy full price for any of it.
For operas, ballets and theatre:
Vinegar Syndrome rules! They're doing daily sales all this month!
It's important to push back as hard as possible against the idea that the outside world should be entirely comfortable and should feel completely safe (which is meaningfully different from actually being safe) because when this goes unchecked you end up with people who think that the sentence for being annoying should be death. This is maybe the most apparent in how people talk about drug use and homelessness; I spoke with a woman this summer who told me that she hoped her neighbors overdosed and died to "teach them a lesson" because they have frequent overnight guests, something which is objectively mildly annoying and not meaningfully dangerous. Unhoused people are incarcerated, displaced, brutalized, and left for dead because they annoy people and offend people's sensibilities. The inability to just walk away from an inconvenient or unpleasant situation, to just manage annoyance and inconvenience and discomfort, kills people all the fucking time.
