  • Movie and video game journalism has gotten so fucking lazy, they just refer to things by other things they’re similar to.

    “Check out this new souls-like game” or “new game combines Dave the Diver with Stardew Valley.”

    It’s super annoying if you’re not familiar with whatever they’re referencing.

    And every hardware manufacturer’s attempt at a mobile gaming device is immediately called a Steam Deck competitor.

    It’s lazy journalism.





  • It’s meant to be absurd. Buried in the absurdity is a grain of truth.

    The problem is, neither the arts nor home economics are valued in the education sphere and we don’t base education policies on science.

    As an example, an elementary music teacher I know said “in a school year I will have seen each child for 24 hours. That’s not enough time to reach them some music theory or how to play an instrument.”
