...Blowing things up? @actuallyidontgiveadamn - Tumblr Blog

Man i feel really bad for the guy who wrote this article because the article actually manages to raise a very very very good point but the way the headline is phrased completely omits 95% of what they were trying to say

And because i know people won’t even bother to click and check the article itself i’m gonna screencap it, it’s fairly short, give it a read:

tl;dr: the article’s point isn’t “corporate satire is not funny anymore as in “we should stop making fun of corporations””, the article’s point is “corporate satire is not funny as in “it’s extremely depressing to live in a capitalistic hellhole and corporate satire aims more to poke fun at that without actually making you think about our world or giving you hope for a better future, and therefore it’s just lost its bite””

Thanks for the screencap, I did try to read the article but the ads on that site were insane.

#ok here’s my hot take but I never took the corporate dystopia as satire in the outer worlds #it felt so obviously trying to portray a more extreme version of the insanity we live with today #I guess it’s over the top enough to count as satire but I never interpreted it as something meant to be funny?#but actually to make people think? maybe I’m giving them too much credit lol #regardless while there are several endings #I think it helps that I finished the game by destroying the corporate dystopia and liberated them #which like…felt very hopeful to me #I dunno. I’m tired of people critiquing stories without following them through to the end #a lot of times without finishing the narrative you don’t know where the point is going #and it’s so easy to assume it’s bad when in reality it’s going to be subverted #<<<prev #YES TO ALL THIS #reading OW as trying to be funny is insane honestly #when it's showing us extremes of current social structures #especially the second game #outer worlds #outer worlds 2

one thing i love about the phm fandom is the sheer amount of people who love stratt. like so many other fandoms would overlook her or hate her or reduce her into an evil caricature because shes a woman in a powerful position who did something bad to the white boy protagonist but the phm fandom ADORES her. and theyre right. eva stratt the character ever

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

I didn't realize that this was about Project Hail Mary at first I just accepted that this was Ryan Gosling's fault and we have to kill him

Handle with care!

after seeing the burn scar of rocky's claw on grace's arm, i'm now thinking about rocky, when grace starts getting older and rocky realises that their final parting is going to come much, much sooner than he ever thought, getting grace's handprint carved into his carapace so he'll carry grace with him even after he's gone
