One too many poop pills

Bonus content: the OP that got purged had crossposted this to a couple places, let’s start some beef on the fediverse?

These link to the same thread, thanks to the magic of lemmy: lemmy.world link, awful.systems link

Oh for sure. It’s probably why I feel so unmoored in today’s culture (jk)

The D’Souza quotes are from this interview, which is linked in the article and unfortunately might be behind a paywall.

Let's get that thread going!

While I don’t listen to any “narrative play” podcasts (as I’ve heard them labelled as) I do listen to an amount of improv based podcasts. So on some level I understand the appeal. Also if you like comic books or blaseball or anything lore-heavy, that would be adjacent to narrative play.

Let’s plays are speedrun adjacent so I also kinda like them. That being said that’s just what I get out of them. Everything I enjoy I have in mind that it ain’t for everyone (boy I wish it were for more people though…)

OTOH the format reminds me of having to read the pesterchum parts of homestuck, which is why I stopped reading it

Counterpoint to all this is: at the very least this might help move the needle on some folks who don’t see things this way yet.

Oh lol I googled it and Michael Lewis, the guy who wrote moneyball and the big short (book ver.), wrote “going infinite”, which required following SBF for “the better part of a year.” Apparently people think it is too sympathetic to SBF. Shame if so, I liked moneyball and the big short (movie ver.)

Please explain (I am not well steeped in the SBF lore/tea)

All I’m saying is, one man’s flesh is another man’s nootropics.
