Another 1 hour piece. The theme was bottle this time so this started with a bunch of instruments that were sampled from various junky objects.

Have you ever seen a person who's demonstrably wrong and insane on a consistent basis in the past post something and realized that they've actually got a good point? How do you react in these situations?
Sometimes, you gotta admit when you’ve misjudged, or got something wrong; better to take the L than to double down when you’re made a mistake.
But remember, just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn’t mean it’s reliable and should be hung up in your home. A bad person can make a good, accurate, or meaningful observation, but that doesn’t stop them from being liars, haters, or dangerous people.
This is especially the case in politics, where there are many pundits that will chant about wanting to protect the working class from money-hungry corporations, which is correct, but they have a completely wrong frame of reference of the problem. For example, they may say corporations are “woke” and forcing kids to become queer or hate America, or they’re all secretly run by Jewish people.
People are multifaceted, complicated, and messy. Just try to be a good judge of character, I guess.
is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags
How has this comic made such a groundbreaking cultural impact without getting over 40k notes

Everyone always talks about the flaws of boob plate. The people crave a new sexy armor, and so i bring them boobless plate
also im growing to hate the phrase ''hold accountable'' in discourse because its always so.... empty? like you see people saying ''sure this person apologized, but we need to hold them accountable!'' like cool. what does that mean. how can you get any more accountable than a public apology. do you want them to apologize... again? more? get a tattoo explaining their crimes so everyone they meet is informed? do you want accountability or are you repeating buzzwords because you cant find a nice way to say you just want them to disappear.

Okay, I know you love Goodbye Volcano High and all, but I played the demo too, and you gotta admit that this shit is barely even a video game, right? You get to make dialogue choices between "act normal" and "be a dick to your friends for no reason" and given the fact that there's no multiple endings, it's all completely pointless anyway. Not to mention that failing or succeeding at the rhythm game prompts seem to have no impact on anything whatsoever. Literally every gameplay mechanic shown in the demo is totally superfluous and this "game" is basically just a really fucking long movie.
We already had somebody say this shit in my ask box before. The whole “it’s not a real game” thing. Fucking learn your history, choice-based games have been around for as long as home gaming has been, and existed even before that as choice-based books.
“No multiple endings means it’s pointless” is also a crock of shit. For one, GVH does have changing outcomes based on the choices the player makes, even if the very end of the game is the same. And more importantly, just because you know how a story ends doesn’t mean it’s not worth experiencing. For fuck’s sake, Romeo and Juliet, one of the most beloved and influential tragic plays of all time, begins with telling the audience that the two young lovers kill themselves in the end. GVH begins much the same way.
Sorry that your enjoyment of gaming is shallow. I’m glad you tried the demo, but it feels like you’re not ready to experience games that are more story than immediately gratifying button-mashing gameplay.
From the PlayStation Blog: Inside Goodbye Volcano High’s creative process, out August 29
Some of the best coming-of-age stories happen in times of great upheaval: war, revolution, calamity… but graduating high school while you’re staring down your almost-inevitable extinction, at the hands of one of the greatest disasters to ever hit planet Earth? That’s some rough stuff. Such is the setting of Goodbye Volcano High, a dramatic, narrative-driven tale of awkward proto-avian teenagers at a turning point when they should have the rest of their lives ahead of them–except they don’t.

"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."
One precious tag was "there just isn't any money in the internet" and like... Yeah.
The internet, to me, is like roads, tunnels, bridges or rail. It's the infrastructure by which commerce and exchange happens but a road is never going to "pay for itself" in the manner that capitalists conceive of value generation. The internet and most websites can't be commodities, and even if you plaster ads everywhere a website doesn't really generate value in itself. It's a place to sell things or even services but the website is a framework in which those things are held.
Infrastructure is, taken in the sort of worldview capitalists work with, a money sink. Every good it provides is an abstract value, the road doesn't earn money, it facilitates taxable trade. The return on investment is nebulous and hard to see on a balance sheet.
When the .com bubble burst, you'd think people would've worked it out, but web 2.0 still happened.
My favourite thing about tumblr, that in my opinion makes it far superior to other social media sites, is that new posts live side by side with old posts. These days, there’s a prioritization of new content. It not only shortens the lifespan of people’s work, memes and such, but it also devalues the work that goes into making certain things.
Sure, a lot of posts are just random thoughts spewed into the ether, but some posts are carefully crafted videos, photos, artwork, prose, that take the creator a considerable amount of time and effort to craft. So, as a content creator, it’s nice to see that you can put work into a piece of content on here and it can have a life of its own. Unlike other platforms where posts live and die in a matter of day, sometimes, hours
Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!
*Everyone complaining about Tumblr’s new Twitter-inspired UI*
Me, who still has the old UI:
