I’m so glad my Lemmy app has video preview thumbnails.

I’m only eleven chapters in, but so far I haven’t seen gratuitous sexual violence.
I have seen a lot of regular violence, but it’s not played up the way it is in violence porn.

::: Bisected bodies on a staircase

That’s pretty much as gory as it gets for the first 100 pages, and pretty representative of my experience so far.

Shame on Harvey Randall for platforming executive bullshit:
The problem, he puts it, is inflation. Which is an unerringly boring but also correct answer: “We live in contrasting times, where inflation is real and significant, but people expect games that are ever more ambitious and therefore expensive to develop to cost the same. It’s an impossible equation.”
They’re not responding to the expectations of the people; they’re responding to the expectations of their investors.

Is there a Lemmy function to block keywords?
I have never seen a conversation that was made better by this guy being a part of it. Even takedown videos make me feel like the other guy should have better things to do.

- Comment on What Do They Get From Rock ’n’ Roll? “We might ask ourselves, therefore, just why is it that with the onset of puberty, Americans embrace rock ’n’ roll? What exactly does it do for them?” 1 week ago:
Brother went through ego death before writing this:
When the listener submits himself to the beat, he loosens his mind from its moorings in space and time; no longer does he feel a separation between himself and his surroundings. The difficult world of external objects is blurred and unreal; only the inner pulse is real, the beat its outer projection. Earthly worries are submerged in a tide of rising exaltation. Dream and dreamer merge, object and feeling jell: the whole universe is compressed into the medium of the beat, where all things unite and pound forward, rhythmic, regular, not to be denied.
Rock ’n’ roll is the only form in modern music which deliberately seeks these effects and no others. They are also obtainable through jazz, but the soul of jazz is its continual improvisation, which draws on a wide range of moods and which demands the keenest attention. In contrast, rock ’n’ roll dulls the capacity for attention; the steady beat creates instead a kind of hypnotic monotony. Seen in this light, RnR is only the latest in a series of rituals which have existed in many societies for the purpose of inducing mystic ecstasy, usually in connection with religion. One might think not only of African or American Indian drumbeating frenzies but also of the cults of frenzied dancing and shaking which periodically rose up from the main body of European Christianity. In the United States, Negro “gospel music” often creates ecstasy through repeated phrases of enormous energy, and has been more than casually influential in the formation of rock ’n’ roll. Through gospel music, RnR draws directly on both Christian and African cults of rhythmic ecstasy. It should not surprise us then that so many RnR songs celebrate the all-pervasiveness of God.

It was FREE.
But at what cost?
- Comment on What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called? 1 week ago:
I’ve always liked threadiverse, since it describes what’s unique about this aspect of the Fediverse.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 1 week ago:
We (the gaming community) say this every time, but microtransactions and lootboxes have spread like viruses because gamers are buying them.
I hate predatory pricing on principle, but whale votes count for a lot more.
