  • There’s a video, maybe not my favorite, but I have watched it twice, and it’s in the 24 hour range. The one where Breath of the Wild was first 100%'ed in under 24 hours. Really like it bc it’s from before the discovery of windbombs (the trick where they launch themselves great distances using the bomb rune), so it’s slower, more methodical. It’s quite relaxing, but yeah it isn’t something to watch in one sitting, even though the video was made in one sitting.


  • Not fond of this “both sides” attitude - you don’t see women threatening the safety of men: the onus is on men to ensure that women feel safe around them. It’s not enough to not hurt a woman, but to ensure the woman is always in a situation where she feels like you aren’t a threat. Don’t isolate her from a crowd as there is safety in numbers. Be confrontational against men who male her feel unsafe. Keep space so she doesn’t have to fear sudden movements from you. Etc etc etc. It’s work to navigate in such an environment, but it isn’t impossible.

    If you want to engage with women on more equal footing, your enemy is the men who are making them feel unsafe, not the women for feeling unsafe. This is the only viable path forward.










  • Western Europe, 1950s era. Capitalism had to make compromises. The soviet union was right next door - if people realized that seizing the means of production would improve their quality of life, they’d have a communist revolution on their hands. So concessions were made. “See, you don’t need communism to have a good life, we’re giving you all those things too!”

    And finally, the capitalists won and the soviet union was no more, parceled up and sold to the capital owners in the west. Now they don’t feel the need to make concessions without a major communist power in their backyard. So they roll back the progress slowly, hoping no one notices.
