The Snark Urge

That’s the game, always will be - objective truth exists, but rarely can we be sure we have it. It’s wrong to presume so, but the bigger issue is in giving up the chase.

I wanna see Crispin Glover’s Darth Maul.

It feels like a lot of the new vocabulary and discourse that has developed in recent years has revolved around the insidious idea that reality is a matter of opinion. We focus on “optics” and bandy about “narratives”, decry “fake news”. We’ve ceased to get or even expect journalism from the news, and we aren’t even surprised that flat earth screwballs still exist. We live in a world seemingly in retreat from the idea of objective truth as people talk about “my truth”. Words have meaning. Objective truth exists. We forsake it at our peril.

Wrote this at 4 am so forgive the unhinged rant. Just finding the words for it now and it’s been bothering me lately.

Nobody else for Equus?

My six year old saw this and said it was scary

Maybe as a ‘ritual object’

Just perfect. This belongs in a museum.

It takes confidence to prop others up like that.

That fourth one. Did you ever do a write-up? I’m fond of shaggy dog stories and other long walk anti jokes.

Instead we have to worry about algorithmic traders flash crashing stocks. The tail is always going to try to wag this dog, but at least when humans are doing it other humans can react in real time.

I hear that. I work from home and I’ve yet to make friends in a new country. It would be downright monastic if not for my family, instead it’s more of an insane asylum vibe.

I’m not even convinced happiness and fulfillment are the right thing to be actively seeking in life. If you have purpose, these things will come in time. If you chase them as your purpose, you will never truly have either.

That’s how you talk to someone with depression? Validate their hopelessness? Fuck off.

OP, voting is the bare minimum. You’re going to feel much more empowered joining your local climate protest group.

What a heartwarming story

I got that dog in me

Oh that’s easy, they secretly hook you up with someone really perfect for you, you have a great kid, and then the love of your life has a stroke and their personality does a 180°, tearing your whole dream family apart as the fey returns and offers to let you keep just one family member, and then you fail to realize the deal includes yourself and you’ve unwittingly sacrificed all your cognitive abilities and memories while your daughter’s life gets ruined as she spends her best years taking care of her madman father with no hope for a better life.

This looks amazing! Thanks

Fine but I wanna playtest

I want a 2D Everett True beat-em-up in the style of River City Ransom where you go around thrashing decreasingly objectionable enemies, and eventually you go too far and it becomes a doomed boss rush where the whole town rises up to stop you

Edit: This might actually be my best game idea evar, OC donut steel
