thinking back to this tweet as I read medium.com/@leighalexander/the-new-intimacy-economy-51c87dc4a4d6 on performing intimacy for Internet money @lichlike/657271108790452224
-
the other week, as ⭐️s became ❤️s, and I felt this desire to just... have an opinion and talk with friends, not a Hot Take
-
that's the joke, right? "Hot Take" is lampshading the way we can't simply have an opinion, but have to optimize selling & packaging it
-
(and the irony of carefully phrasing that tweet was not lost on me)
-
@jmickle_ you can have nuance either way! it's just... the performative aspect, the careful cultivation of a parasocial relationship.
-
anyway, this isn't new: radio is all basically all about parasocial relationships (that and pop music, which is, uh, also all about them)
-
but now that everyone is famous for 15 people, everyone is practising their radio voice. thank fuck for backchannels and irl.
-
RT @nice_tips_bot: a cool tip is start slow but then slip in a little tongue. it's for the best
-
@infovore I see the opposite maybe more often, especially on politicized issues. which can also be a good thing!
-
@jawsew butting in, but: this sounds like me/my parents. (I'd put a "very" before occasional, though).
-
@jawsew not usually directed arbitrarily/at strangers though. but rare enough I don't have the practice handling it well. :/
-
@jawsew Man Has Trouble Expressing Emotions Sometimes : News At Eleven.
-
@jawsew I think so? Hard to tell, though, given how occasional it can be. I don't think it's in any way "truer" than usual behaviour, though
-
@jawsew the problem for me is getting angrier at a thing, not communicating it, and so not giving a signal to stop.
-
@jawsew so it looks like I've just blown up, unexpectedly and unreasonably, at a small thing. And, of course, I have.
-
@jawsew might well be true. who doesn't do either of those things, though? even realizing yr own emotions is hard enough, let alone others.
-
@jawsew i have found being in a poly relationship, w/ the focus they traditionally have on being very explicit about feelings, very healthy
-
@leighalexander @jawsew oh jeez, i bet it is.
-
@jawsew It's not for everyone, for sure. Though, I'm actually only in one relationship (+ some making out with other people).

@ntlk hobby horse, but: this is why I build my toy web projects in PHP

@ntlk the biggest constraint on what i build is : "will this have a 50% chance of still working in 5 years time if i do nothing to it"

Game design question : what are the four elements?

I was looking for the "classical" elements, but tbh these answers are better.

@komiga dunno how they mathematically relate, but I'm generating a random 3x3 convolution kernel and applying it each frame.

@komiga (the kernel is the cryptic numbers appended to each post)

@komiga I think this is p similar to Conway's Game of Life.

@beckwig I'm also drunk! How are you?

@betterthemask I think only on ios! There was a big to-do when they introduced them there.

@betterthemask but you're a game designer, Meg, that means you must love "juice"

@hannahnicklin no love for Veep?
-
@hannahnicklin and yeah, Jessica Jones is fine, but hasn't gripped me like it has for the people for who it is totally on-topic for.
-
@hannahnicklin I alternated between loving and hating How To Get Away With Murder, depending on whether Viola Davis was in the scene or not.
-
@hannahnicklin (that's a bit unfair, but not entirely. My main problem was the show often being about Rich People's Self-Inflicted Problems)
-
I look forward to waking up at a good time tomorrow and doing all the productive things I am supposed to do!
-
@hannahnicklin I think it's not as bad - Mayer might be at the mercy of events, but she's rarely actively bullied.
-
@hannahnicklin but then again, I still cringed - it's not quite the same worldview as TTOI, tho.
-
@lexicobob yeah, that's a lot of green alright :D
-
@hannahnicklin @KommanderKlobb oh wait, ignore my suggestions, I'm going for this one. It's on American Netflix!

@HonestWilliam I liked how every character manages to be sympathetic even as they are awful.
-
@hoskingc yes. But imo part of the reason turnover is so high is that history isn't generally valued.
-
@hoskingc (most of the reason is that games pays badly, works you hard and is pretty insular)
-
@notquitereal so: counter-argument: I already kinda know the rules to "secret hitler", just from the name.
