Damnit, I made a super funny superchat but I apparently failed to send it. Better luck next week when I'm not distracted by work during the stream I guess.
Have you thought about going to see the last episode in a theater by you? Glitch will release it for free two weeks after that but it would give you the experience of seeing the actual fanbase up close.
I loved Mixtape, especially the Jersh experience playing it. People have been acting like it's somehow a corruption that it was funded by a rich nepo-baby as an own, but the rich patronizing the arts has been a grand tradition in art so I don't see why video games should be different. These same critics probably also reflexively hate corporation-funded mass appeal slop for the opposite reason. Unironically, this was a passion project, it had some cool attention to detail, and it delivered on being a character driven walking sim. The mc was definitely music-autist coded and reminded me of the kid from Almost Famous. Still, I appreciated it as a music enjoyer. I have 2 other points:
It's appreciation of brevity reminded me of Kanye in 2018 where he had his entire label push out short albums mostly produced by Kanye and they released on a weekly schedule. This was the era of Kids See Ghost (Kanye & Kid Cudi), Ye, Pusha-T's Daytona, Teyana Taylor's KTSE, and Nas' Nasir. They all embraced schizo Kanye's short songs and 7 song forumla and generally benefitted from it. It wasn't perfect for all of them but Kids See Ghost is a personal 10/10.
A separate point I had was that the creators really obviously wanted a Swans song in the game but couldn't get it, but I doubt they could fit it in. They mention Swans when the main character's mixtape gets buck broken, and also with the Joy Division- Atmosphere song being included as a nucleation point for post-rock. Longtime MATI enjoyers will know Swans from Lunacy being mentioned (they were big on /mu/ in 2012 following the release of The Seer (great study album, btw)). This is all to say that my favorite post-rock and Swans album is Love of Life.
It's an unpopular opinion, but I'm right /mu/ can suck my dick. It's the quintessential post-rock album and it's front to back bangers. You should listen to it if you liked the Joy Division song.
Not really a psyop, more the fanbase's way of "spreading a hate campaign." Ie:"Glitch is ran by yt pipo and they don't consider or have colored folks running glitch which therefore=bad."
I was vague when I mentioned the tax, but that's exactly what I was referring to. Last year they introduced a fixed sum to the price of every plastic/glass bottle and aluminum can. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not paying that even if it means I'm never going to drink any store bought beverage again. It used to be just beer bottles before they introduced this scheme and I wasn't OK with that either, but at least I could settle for canned beer. Now even that is almost impossible because stores are gradually running out of "taxless" cans.
I already pay for garbage disposal like everyone else and the landlord could potentially get fined if it's not sorted. Price hikes have been INSANE since Covid and I'm not going to pay extra for anything if I can help it. I just bought a hip flask so I can rehydrate when I'm out and about. I'm serious.
