I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

the funniest dynamc between my boyfriend and i is the chef/baker divide runs so deep. experimentally my boyfriend is a genius with figuring out what flavor profiles will not just taste good together but also will be enjoyed by the specific audience he is cooking for. a recipe is not a guidebook so much as a suggestion and he will frankenstein ideas together to get exactly what he wants to happen. he also didnt know that sugar will not work properly if you dont mix it with the wet ingredients in banana bread and when i asked 'why didnt you do it in the order of the recipe' he said 'i didnt really think it mattered'. autistically i exploded his head in my mind

okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

#my elementary school (which connected to a middle school/junior high) did this #the last year I went there I remeber the playground being covered in rings of flour #cause at the end of the assignment all the students basically threw the sack onto the ground with as much force as possible

replaying Hades cause the technical test...

was there ever an discussion about the fact that Persephone had to watch Zagreous die several times? I mean yeah she's a demigod, she's got the longevity, she's used to the concept of grave injuries just being fine later on... but the son she thought was dead for years shows up at her door, having actively fought through Hell and having had to fight his father then he just... begins deteriorating in front of her eyes.

yeah the game stylizes it, but the implication is that the physical form dissolves and is then reformed in the styx... so did she watch her son turn to basically meaty mush? did his body age and rot in seconds?

obviously this isn't discussed in the game, it's a relatively light story about family, but was that ever something that got tossed around? cause there's smth there

I have more yarn than I thought��..

Stash was split up and my mother put some away and since I didn’t do it I forgot they existed…….

So now I’m separating things by “project (I’m likely to do) in mind” and “I have it around” once all the yarn has been gone through and separated, pictures, friends, family, list of subsequent information, execution….

This is that weird home decor yarn, this is gonna be difficult cause I have a limited amount, the line’s been discontinued, and the color change on those cakes on the bottom… are smth.

I have real furniture!

A nice set of drawers, a little night stand, and a recliner. my aunt’s moving up north to what was supposed to be her “summer home” which sounds fancy but it’s a mobile home, simple. Cause her condo association upped the fees and my uncle liked being up north more than he thought he would. Which is why I now have a basically brand new recliner! It’s got a remote! I need to double check what it’s made out of, cause it feels like leather but I’m not 100%.

I realized my room wasn’t really messy, it just looked like it was cause you could see things on the shelves and the bottom shelves were a mess cause of cats.

Anyway, this made me clean (sorta, kinda) and I already planned to not go to the craft store until I made a dent in my stash, but now I’ve actually got space to go through everything.

So the plan is to do that tomorrow, and make a rough plan on what to do with all that yarn.

I’m thinking bags, especially with the obviously acrylic ones.

I bought a bunch of cotton yarn a while ago but the colors didn’t work for what I wanted to use them for, but I think I have a proper project for them now.

I’ve got some big things of baby yarn, and those are probably gonna be blankets, and maybe donated? I gotta find out where and how for that sorta stuff.

Caron used to have a home decor collection which I used to practice knitting (to tell you how long I’ve had these, junior year of hs 2016) they’re like tshirt material tubed over a core of polyester? I think, I tossed the labels ages ago. It was GREAT for practicing because you couldn’t accidentally split the stitches.

Pictures will be taken and friends/family will be questioned if they want anything.
