"Hey, hot thing, you win some and you lose some
I'm calling security
Hey, hot thing, you blame some and you shame some
I'm hailing an ambulance
Hey, small thing, you catch some and infect some
But I don't wanna be the sullen type
I don't want my secret safe for life
Onomatopoeia till I never get to sleep.
I want to know if a "no" means "alright"
I want to know if a "no" means "alright"
He looks past my answer
Did he earn the right?
No way"

"Cultures don't make things; people make things. All cultures do is codify the meaning of the things people make. You can criticize the conclusions people come to in their systems of meaning...what you can't do is dictate what things mean to people.
The fact that I don't like Taiwanese food...does not mean that Taiwanese food is existentially bad. Or good. Taiwanese food is. Any other thought about it is a reflection of subjective values, not the nature of reality itself."
Pre-ordered #Saros this week, and in doing so, reflected on my expectation 5 years ago that we would have seen a slate of Returnal-likes by now, to the point that AA/A bullet hell roguelikes would be a full-fledged genre in the manner of Soulslikes.
We got #ProjectTower, and #LunaAbyss next month (potentially unfortunate timing), but I really thought Returnal would have been considerably more influential. Certainly I believe it deserved to be.
