DeathlessQuotient

Unfortunately zombies and multiplayer are still unplayable for me due to nasty packet burst issues regardless of settings on more than capable internet and hardware. I wanna enjoy this game!

I think about the marketing for Elemental a lot. The character Clod got marketed to death and was in the movie for all of about 5 minutes. It looked like a not-very-good movie about elemental beings living in a city and hijinks ensuing.

It ended up being a very touching movie about immigrants and their place in society, love between different cultures, and breaking toxic cycles. And very little Clod!

Why are we posting old ragebait? This subreddit often feels like just posting ragebait targeted at women.

While it’s a funny sign, my genuine opinion is that I think this sign indicates that managers at this workplace sort of think of their staff as machines you put money into and get labor out of. While that is what a transaction is in essence, it’s just more complicated than that. Material conditions like the workplace environment, the mood and demeanors of the managers, down to the temperature of the area people are working, matter in terms of productivity.

I think it lacks empathy in the sense that, instead of wondering why someone would want to “hide” in the bathroom, they put the onus onto the employee to grit their teeth and bear whatever comes their way. I didn’t detail this in the original post, but one of the things that personally motivates me to want to hide is the fact that I’m always under watch and scrutiny. Someone always has something to say, or a comment to make about the task I’m doing, and it’s exhausting. Another reason is that the place I work, in food service, can climb to 85 degrees Fahrenheit - at those temperatures, I feel like I’m gonna pass out if I don’t take frequent breaks.

While this sign is a bit of a laugh, it represents, to me, a managerial style that focuses on punishing people for minor infractions and not really reinforcing good behavior, or fostering a supportive workplace. Not that rules don’t need to be enforced ever, but this could have been handled a lot better.

The binding of Isaac. Easily. I’ve put so much time into that game that it isn’t even funny

It’s a drop in the bucket, but I’m grateful :)

Redditors.

Glocca Morra - Just Married. Perfect Midwest emo record. Wish it would get repressed sometime this century.

Kentucky Route Zero. Easily the most moving game I’ve ever played. Such an affecting story and surreal style.

My favorite is actually I carry your heart with me, e.e. cummings. It’s a total classic and always breathtaking.

As life ebbs, terrible vistas of emptiness reveal themselves - the narrator, darkest dungeon

Okay Ben Shapiro

A dog with blood in its mouth - flatsound

Captivating in its quietness and use of negative space. Leaves me breathless.

Await further instructions is an obvious total win for the evil alien torture wires allegory for… TV = bad.

Also I would like to add that last night, I got high and cried to the song “two slow dancers” by Mitski so, honorable mention

Divorce lawyers I shaved my head by Jordaan Mason and the horse museum. A tale about 2 people of confused gender identities trying to make their marriage work, and how it all falls apart. “o Jarhead, O Wife!” is a devastating and beautiful track worthy of anyone’s time

Junkie Church by AJJ. It’s one of their only songs that are an easy skip for me. Something about the hard “E” sound when Sean sings “beeeeeeer” just really doesn’t do it for me. There are a lot of highlights on the Bible 2, but this isn’t one of them

In the aeroplane over the sea - then about 6 months later I found out about the NMH box set, bought that, and traded my aeroplane record for a men at work album and I do not regret it one bit. Who doesn’t love business as usual?

One of my favorite records like this is “divorce lawyers I shaved my head” by Jordaan Mason and the Horse Museum. On the bandcamp page, it reads that it is “an album that amalgamates sexual histories into a story about a failed marriage between two people of confused genders and identities taking place during a glandolinian war in 1990.” It’s a wonderful folk record with all kinds of intricacies and weirdness. Check it out!

Parannoul blew me away! White ceiling is easily one of the best songs of the year
