01/21/24: Drove to Yuma today on my day off today. I found a lot of stuff. My usual things. Went to three walmarts, two gamestops and two Goodwills and a pawn shop. Walmart had the goods. There's rumors on the net about a whole lot of Xbox games getting clearanced out soon. While I did see plenty of marked down games already, I've not seen Super crazy prices yet. Maybe I'm too early? Let's see what's up in February. But either way, I got good things. Other games have gone down since before Christmas. And they're still around. And I got a few with an extra discount. It seems the store put a sticker price on their games but the register still has it higher. Or the worker put it in the wrong spot. Keep checking folks! Save some money!

From the different walmarts: I got some two-pack Transformers toys for $7.00. I thought they were cheap when I got some a few weeks ago for $20. But these were even cheaper. Then two Transformers plushie toys for $3.00 each. Minecraft legends ps5 was $15. Control ps5 was $19.83. Borderlands 3 was $8.44 and Ghostbusters Xbone $7.88. Everybody 1+2 switch was $12.38. Warioware Move it! Was $30. Five Nights at Freddy's and Bayonetta Origins were behind glass but in the wrong spots. So the employee was nice enough to change the prices. I got them for $20 and $22.

Goodwills had some movies, comics and some clothes. I found a Bowser Jr. Super mario theme park shirt for $5.00! It's a large so I hope it's not too tight on me. I also found two comics and weird movies too. Some, quirky, horror-indies, other family classics and a documentary. And I couldn't say no to the now Infamous classic Joe's Apartment! So yeah, they're mine now. And at a pawn shop that I visit frequently, didn't have any games, but for $5.00 I got two Asian themed blurays, they look fantasticly weird and maybe gory. It seemed to be a theme today.

Gamestop has a sale right now on games $10 or less. Buy 4 and get a discount. So I went through lots of titles in both stores and got these. One store had some decent ps3 games and the other had a more varied selection of ps4 games. Plus a few others. So I completed some sets and got them cheaper. I was also surprised to find some vita games too, but I had most of them already and a few got pricy. So all I got was one. And to finish the shopping spree, an Anime themed switch game. So much good stuff!

Bruce Wayne is more important than Batman.

I feel like this should be more obvious, but no, it’s Batman. Bruce Wayne is the one who can genuinely change the system, who is able to provide and aid the people of Gotham. He is old money. As much as I despise capitalism and the power of the 1%, Bruce Wayne has the ability to change people’s lives on a systematic level. He is rich and influential but most of all, kind. He can fund charities, establish nonprofits, create jobs, better the prison system/mental asylum, etc etc etc. Yes, Gotham is probably genuinely cursed to always suck, but that doesn’t mean any efforts to help do nothing at all. Just some relief, another chance, a little bit of hope, is still better than being abandoned.

Empathy is supposed to be Bruce’s key personality trait. It’s why an old money socialite who has never wanted for anything (other than his parents) is able to look at Gotham and think “I want to help them”. It’s the whole point of his existence: someone with plenty of resources to help people actually does instead of sitting around, hoarding their wealth, and being condescending. And the whole “dead parents” thing motivated him to help people more directly beyond just writing checks and make speeches. Batman is the method that helps where the system has failed. He stops crimes (organized, petty, terrorism) that corrupted law enforcement ignore, perpetuate, or simply aren’t capable of handling.

Then there’s the whole “judge, jury, executioner” shit and the running theme of empathetic villains whose methods are terrible but their motivations stem from a flawed system. There are so many eco-terrorists, so many “teachers” and scientists, so many victims of circumstances who lashed out at a world that hurt them just as much. The exact degree of maliciousness varies from rogue to rogue, but none of them are innately evil (cue the criticism of the vilification of the mentally ill and minorities). The best Batman is the one who is empathetic to his rogues, who calls them by their actual names instead of their monikers, who is willing to agree to their demands within reason, who cares about their well-being and treatment once they got beat to shit for their acts of terrorism and probably murder. The best vigilantes in Gotham punch a guy in the face then offer them a chance to turn their life around. They would stop a robbery, but they’d look away when someone swipes food from a grocery store. Any hero could sit beside a scared kid and cheer them up, but a Gotham vigilante needs to be kind to the adults too (it’s why I think the WFA kidnapper trio is so funny, like they’re clearly not evil or malicious, but they are committing potentially violent crimes). Say what you will about the flaws in Batman’s principles, but you can’t deny that redeemed rogues are capable of so much good.

(As far as I know, the Joker is the only exception to this, and he doesn’t even have a backstory like at all. I actually blame the current state of Batman on the popularity of the Joker because the Joker is essentially pure evil and his very existence undermines the messages of the other rogues. But he’s more popular and produces more sales and honestly isn’t it just the funniest thing ever that DC pushes most for a villain that preaches about the flaws in human goodness? Isn’t it fucking hilarious that they’re blaming individual people for their problems (one bad day) rather than societal injustice??)

Yet for some reason, Batman is often written as if his entire mission revolves around the one moment where his parents died. “No more victims,” he says, then proceeds to brutalize anyone who remotely disagrees with his methods. He doesn’t discriminate between victims, except he’s not fixing or preventing anything. He’s just punching people one by one, and they’re not a victim if he’s the one punching them. It’s as though he believes the only way to victimize someone is by physically harming them. Without “Bruce Wayne,” Batman never interacts with those in power who are the root of the problems. As such, it ends with a Batman who only beats up people who are just trying to survive in the hellscape that is Gotham, so really he’s even worse than cops at the point. It’s why the current “edgy” Batman’s “no kill rule” is so stupid because his mission is entirely egocentric, a projection that lacks any nuance, and blames the symptoms, not the cause.

Stopping crime is police shit. Helping people is heroism. The former is dictated by the legal system. The latter is intention. You can help people by stopping crime, but stopping crime without helping people is just being hostile.

#personal #batman #dc #I have OPINIONS #modern Batman probably doesn’t vote #I like to think that the whole point of Arkham is not #locking away the crazies #but rehabilitating and resocializing #I think Arkham Asylum represents an ideal that keeps failing because the system is actively hostile to its inhabitants #in an ideal world #horrors like these exist because people believe in goodwill even when the reality is otherwise #Jason is both a Narrative and Moral foil to Bruce #i could go on another rant about that #there is no one size fits all method for preventing crime #I think it’s important that both Red Hood and Batman exist side by side #two different methods to handle two separate problems #two different people with very different priorities #because doing bad things don’t not necessitate being a bad person #that’s what Batman is for #helping supporting and encouraging the right to a happy life #but sometimes people are just terrible because they are no matter #and that’s what Red Hood is for #stopping the truly irredeemable who would waste and stomp on goodwill #it’s just a personality thing tbh #nurturer vs protector #both are avengers but that should not be their core trait #I’ve got more thoughts on this #but I’ve decided that this is enough words at 3AM

i am having a quarter life crisis about being painfully average and idk what to do about it.

#i own less than other people but i am definitely not minimalist #i am nerdier than a lot of people in my life but less so than super nerdy people #i like anime but not THAT much #i like horror but not THAT much #i draw but not super often or very well #i read but not so much that i finish hundreds of books a year #i dress like a midwest jcpenney hot topic and goodwill had a baby #i don't have some cool style #i want to exercise but can't ever seem to put effort into it #i am not fat i am not skinny i am not beautiful i am not ugly #i am not extremely intelligent i am not extremely stupid #i have low empathy but not so low as to be very noticeable to other people #i like rock and punk and alt music but i am not part of a music subculture #i like stories but i don't write interesting media analysis essays #i am just very very.... walmart midwest american. #there is nothing super distressing about me but also nothing super exciting either #i like things but not SOOOO much. i dislike things but not SOOOO much #i wish i had one thing about me that was super awful or super exciting #i am plain. like vinyl tile flooring. off white walls. blue t-shirts. saltine crackers.

I see some good stuff on there, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Bloody Pit of Horror, They Saved Hitler's Brain. Quality schlock. Still priced too expensive though for DVD's.

Creature Feature songs make me think of Goldy Pond.

Like they seem like the kind of macabre music that would play on the loud speakers to signify that the games are beginning. Maybe a live band the Aristocrats got on the payroll as they revel in the pain they cause.

Commentary at the Bins

Thursday morning bins were alright. I woke up at 4 a.m. to get a couple hours of writing done. Made it to the bins just after the doors had opened and the man with the powdered hair was already walking the aisles with his hands behind his back, talking to people.  The most-trafficked part of the warehouse is the back part. Three rows of bins full of media, electronics, random valuables. Cigar…

It keeps getting worse

If they don’t respond to this TOMORROW they will have eviscerated all the goodwill and love their fans had for them. They should have done it hours ago. Going forward, they either need to consult a professional business manager after this astronomically stupid decision or Steven needs to step down and let someone more competent run the company. No one is paying for another streaming service.

things they could have done:

stressed engagement more (like, comment, share, subscribe, etc.)

promoted their patreon more – there are people in the comments shocked to find out they even had one

youtube memberships (with exclusive emojis!)

given patrons/youtube members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos

joined nebula & given nebula members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos

streamed horror games on youtube/streamed horror games on twitch & uploaded the VODs on youtube

decreased the production value & staff required to create videos

any or all of the above

not this

literally anything but this
