ON WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$80 games. fucking eighty USD for a game that, to my knowledge, does not contain any new expensive chips or technology. to make matters worse, you're paying that much money for a cartridge that doesn't even have the game on it. you're paying $80 for a download code on a card that requires you to connect to the internet first in order to play the game you dropped nearly $100 on.

this was always going to be the logical end point of companies trying out $70 games. now they realise people will pay anything and it's definitely going to get worse from here. it's like 90's game prices but there's no special chips or production things that make the price of a cartridge even more expensive. you are paying $80 to ask for permission to play a game you bought lol.

to make it all so much more insulting the boxes are fucking ugly as hell too, looking like a super scuffed "greatest hits" type thing by default with the massive banner on the front taking up nearly 25% of the little box. literally what is the incentive to buy a $500 console and an $80 game with the same cuntless nothing minimal UI and designs as the last one. if there's any fairness left in the world this thing will be cracked wide open year one.

DOECHII Alter Ego (ALTERnate version)

the fact that the switch 2 tech demo tutorial 'game' costs money and is digital only is insane. remember when every wii came with wii sports for free? do you remember that? i am going to hunt down the nintendo execs for sport

the reification of ghibli aesthetics to be zealously defended with copyright is funny

okay so cutesyfied ghibli was already the domain of the trad adjacent cottage core blogger. now hindutva fascists are using it. the white house is memorialising the violence of deportations with it. cute and cozy is the new fash aesthetic.

honestly: cute & cosy was the old fash aesthetic, too! cute & cosy is one of those political stylings that never goes out of fashion. people will typically point to the documented popularity of disney media amongst both the german citizenry & reich officership (despite their vocal disavowal/disapproval of it in the latter case) to illustrate this as a connection with historical precedence, but it goes far further back than that, to settling the frontiers at least. so much language in legal declarations permitting dispossession and eradicative force in the settler colony emphasises 'tranquility', a return (or accomplishment) of idyllic life. the sell of settlement was beautiful sights & endless opportunities for the intrepid and their families. peaceful life--comfort--is achieved through absenting, very deliberately, certain existences. and so the mere presence of these becomes frictions; threats. and what disturbs can be met with justifiable violence. every 'silence' is explicitly a 'silencing', and the contemporary understanding of this could honestly be seen very well for years prior to this in how cosy lit + game fans react to any discussion of the appeal & appropriation of the prevalent aesthetics by reactionaries. people often quote baudrillard (iirc?) on the bored suburbanite waiting for something, some phenomenal and exciting violence, to wake them from their malaise, while misunderstanding that the suburbanite does not seek this excitement to live it but to then be one to extinguish it. "cosycore" often can and does--whether deliberately or not--feed into this fantasy of subjugative impetus & divine mandate.

Can i get some illustrations?

the left is a ghiblified rendition of a hindu fascist mob tearing down babri masjid in the 90s. they have now been in power for 11 years and suceeeded at replacing the mosque with a state sponsored and celebrated hindu temple.

i remember when i talked about sharing free resources for art/learning and someone said 'dont be a communist' in response to it. ?????????????? why. are you scared

yeah its almost like if we realized we could just share things once our needs are met and capital gain wasnt treated like this thing to grow exponentially forever we would live in a better world and the current system would be threatened. are you scared. boo

aromanticism is everywhere if you're brave enough to see it

louder and prouder girls in the iconic cheetah girls pose

The scariest shit I see always comes from people who are quite confident that, being very loving, they could not be doing anything abusive.
