I feel like Max is way too easy to kill in this Mad Max vidya game, considering the movies.

If that game had more stuff to do and a longer quest line and randomized camps and poo poo. it would be amazing. the biggest issues is that by the time you have cool upgrades, the game is over.

Or just a new game plus.

Apparently, crazy fans of his harassed him for... somethingorother. I tried finding out a while back, but there's not much record left.

What's the deal with Jordan Peterson? All I know is that he appeared on Bill Maher like a week or so ago. Prior to that, I'd seen him mentioned somewhere else and it made it sound like he was some kind of wacko.

Canadian university professor who is terrified of the neo marxists with no idea what philosophy actually entails.

He's this generation's "things were better back in my imaginary nostalgia past, so stop getting uppity." types. He's just better at debating and trapping his opponents into making fools of themselves.

Peterson also has a really bad case of Academic Speak, where you just pad out everything with jargon and complicated sentence structure where it's not actually necessary, to the point that all meaning gets strangled. Which seems to attract people who want to feel smart by reading stuff like "clean your room and you will feel less depressed" but overgrown with ivory tower speak.

Hes a kermit the frog-rear end sounding motherfucker whose general thesis is basically conservative :biotruths: through the lens of third-tier self help speaking and a questionable grasp of mythology. His whole strategy is to dogwhistle by taking superficially logical statements ("there are biological differences between males and females...") and pad it out with jargon until he's just shy of stating what his audience already believes ("...therefore, trans people doesn't real and women are just crazy and stupid because of their vaginas") without actually stating it in clear terms.

Also he's incredibly loving dumb and lacks basic literacy in even his own loving field, and once, infamously, took a critic saying his work had a bad habit of "romancing the Savage" as an actual, for real accusation that he was horny for a particular male native American coworker.

He's very good at saying a lot of words with the veneer of legitimacy while actually saying nothing of value, the perfect figure for the Alt-Right to champion. As Contra put in her video, he's fond off dancing around his actual positions and baiting people into either getting frustrated and dropping the point, or falling into a trap that he can use to impress the kind of idiots who'll upload the clips with JORDAN PETERSON ANALLY DESTROYS HYSTERICAL POSTMODERNIST as the title or some poo poo

So a lot like Kevin Williamson or Ross Douthat or that crazy George Mason economist, Robin Hanson. Just paragraphs and paragraphs or tweets upon tweets of plausible deniability in purple prose.

Basically, except that Petersen is in the humanities (and is usually the first non-dismissive exposure a lot of his fans have to the humanities) so there's an extra layer of pseudo-mystical woo in his appeal.

SuperButterBuns has a new video on the Kingdom Hearts series and I don't know if I'd recommend anyone to take Buns' advice but at the same time it's rather sensible. Anyone who makes a guide on how to get into a large and convoluted series like KH has to be a good soul. These kind of videos are so good for people although I can't think of many series like KH where playing just about every game is part of the gameplan to prepare for KH3.

I disagree with Buns, the best plan is to play KH3 entirely blind to the series beyond cultural osmosis and memes, but only because that's my plan.

Peterson's got a GREAT grift going on. He tells his fans that we need to defund humanities and all because it's all cultural marxists and his entire industry is based around being young men's first experience to someone reading meaning into stories in a real way so his absolute loving drivel of 'you see in Peter Pan the children don't want to grow up because Captain Hook is the only adult they see around them...and that means somehow the feminists and minorities are destroying the world' seems revolutionary and amazing.

He's probably one of the genuinely dumbest pieces of poo poo in the west but his entire scam is trying to make sure he's the first and only person his target demo encounters like a fuckin cult leader.

I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

Jordan Peterson does story analysis? But he's not that kind of humanities professor - he's a clinical psychologist.

Of course, he's also not a philosophy professor, but he's never let that stopped him from calling his ideas "philosophy", so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he'd delve into other areas for which he's ill-equipped.

He has a lot in common with the self-help industry and even cult leaders in that regard, where the point seems to be to keep talking for hours using indirect language that forces people to work harder than they have to in figuring out what he's saying, lulling them into a kind of trance. He's dangerous because he's a reactionary and attracts the nazi teens and 30-somethings.
