it is very instructive to play both silent hill and resident evil videogames because they are very similar except for how silent hill is good and resident evil is stupid. it helps you figure out what is stupid in a video game and what is good

for example, in silent hill games, you are confronted with many weird baroque puzzles you have to solve to proceed, because that is the dark and creepy and confrontational nature of the world you are in. in resident evil games, you are confronted with weird baroque puzzles you have to solve because apparently, separate from and unrelated to the ongoing zombie apocalypse, the raccoon city designers designed the subway station map so that if you insert a red jewel into the correct diamond shaped recess, a drawer opens that contains a live hand grenade

[bogleech]

In the novelizations of the original two Resident Evil games, which came out before the series left Raccoon City or Umbrella corp, the author's own justification for all this was that the puzzles were commissioned by the same paranoid rich CEO who gave bored company engineers and scientists limitless budget and creative control to protect his evil secrets as obtusely as possible. So basically a delusional billionaire gathered a bunch of amoral computer nerds and told them "while you're farming artisinal lizard demons for the army, I need you to make it as confusing and difficult as you possibly can for anyone to get in and out of my office alive" and I guess their autism lit up like a blazing star with a free ticket to design a real world lucasarts adventure game. This is implied later in the book to be exactly the reason why none of them made it out alive.

ive had the image of this meme in my head for so long

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

The USA's Affordability Crisis is a feature and not a bug because a general expectation of stability undermines the military. Fascism wants the military to be the thing people access to obtain stability and to make life more manageable. Fascism is okay with making your life intolerable in the hopes you start yearning for the structure, clear expectations, and reliability enabled by nationalized logistics, and accept abuse from top-down authority and evil orders as the price to pay. And whoever a fascist authority doesn't want to achieve stability can just be kept out of the military (or funneled to grueling and fatal tasks if they're already there.)

Private corporations also like things this way, because they're often vultures of the military. They like that top-down authority structure. They like to set the price of stability and for people to bargain lower to access it. They like fitting you into the role of an 'employee' the way the military likes fitting you into the role of a 'soldier.' The military doesn't see the private sphere as a competitor much though, because private corporations don't usually promise the logistical support that the military offers (but does not always adequately deliver) as a simplification to life.

If stability was just a given, if you could expect housing and utilities, communications, to be clothed and groomed and fed, and to receive health care at a minimum, then it would be very hard to persuade people that extreme stress under authority is a required element of reality.

I actually really like mold slimes. It's so sad there's so few gifs of them. I also had this weirdly nice nightmare about them once but we're not going to talk about that.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.
