Listen to me.
You do not want this future to happen to you I promise you. Because the minute you enter into a subscription existence you allow for a possibility of losing everything. Why?
Well, because when you stop paying then you stop having.
I buy my cars outright for this reason.
I have not thrown away my DVD collection for this reason.
I still have my old-school ipod for this reason.
I buy songs I really like direct from the artist on top of my subscription for this reason.
I back shit up on to my external hard drives rather than depending on a cloud only for this reason (which reminds me that I need to do taht this weekend).
If someone ELSE is holding the physical source of what youβre paying for? YOU DONβT OWN IT. Youβre just giving someone your energy and time for permission to access it.
Youβre leasing your existence.
Donβt fucking fall for it, do you hear me?
Itβs bad enough we have to lease our water, our heat, our internet and our entertainment.
Buy what you want outright WHENEVER YOU CAN. Then do anything you can to maintain it in the face of planned obsolescence. I promise you, there will be a moment when you will be glad you did
Because aside from relationships? Things are literally all the system let us keep in this existence so donβt lease your fucking possessions if at all avoidable because at this stage in capitalism weβre all a few bad days from being unable to pay those leases. And then what? Then you only have what you can keep and it is those comforts and necessities that will keep you going, I promise you. Donβt let there be anything more that can be taken from you than absolutely necessary.
if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising "organic blood" sourced from "willing donors" who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.
it’s almost as if Tolkien knew what he was talking about
It’s almost as if Tolkien personally witnessed one of the bloodiest wars in human history and then used that to fuel his writing.
The only thing seperating lovecraft enthusiasts and hentai addicts is the blurry line between fear and arousal.
I endeavor to abolish this line completely, leading us to a new age.
[guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.
enthralls you
spends willpower
hey. don't do that.
NEVER flip your canvas. That's valuable time you could be using to draw everything at a slant.
Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but…
1) The customer is always wrong
2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong
