Look who studied mouse law!

Maybe. The YouTubers I see doing it are essentially roleplaying. It's a lot of reading into shallow dialogue like Pokemon or Animal Crossing, and I think it's hitting some button in my mind where it feels particularly inauthentic. Like overblown reactions that feel too rehearsed or planned.

Which is funny, because I can enjoy video essays that go on for hours, and those are also artificial. Maybe it's the lack of pretense of it being a deliberate planned work? But also if I wanted to watch someone play a videogame, I'd rather watch my partner play or just play it myself and listen to their reactions.

I think I'm running into something with my neurodiversity, but I don't want to be hasty and blame a part of myself if it's another reason I'm not enjoying it.

I remember playing p3 when it first came out and she called me out in a conversation where I picked an answer I thought she'd liked instead of what I felt. I started thinking more about dating Sims and romance subplots after that. Yuko is cool.

I just want Pokemon to actually do more of its early premise of humans and animals working together in community. I would love a team-based mon game, but I really just want to see Pokemon answer and explore the philosophical questions present in the series.

Hey, the power to destroy galaxies and warp reality on a cosmic scale is sexy. Too bad he's not great at fist fights.

Actually you can take it with you if you're going to hell. I don't understand why else all these billionaires die as billionaires.

That's a slip-up on my part. I'll read up more on the topic so I can speak on it better in the future. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

True, but I think it's a flaw (not a huge one) that none of the main heroic characters openly agree or expand on the themes. It's good, but I sense it's from the writers not wanting to rock the boat too hard, or executive meddling keeping the themes less explicit.

It worked exactly as designed. Just functional enough to give the illusion of fairness. The great equalizer that sanitizes the image of nepo babies

I get it's funny in a way, but I'm bothered by a news source making light in their headline. Animals are getting displaced because of climate change and they're using alliteration like it's a joke.
