Lamuella posted:Comic books chat, I just finished reading the Tom King run on Mister Miracle and... whoof. Tom King has been a land of contrasts lately for me between his Batman run and Heroes In Crisis. But I'll forever have a huge place in my heart for both his Mister Miracle and Vision runs, both just beautiful stuff.

I really liked his Vision run, the Mister Miracle run felt like it kinda petered.

Riddler going all SAW/Jigsaw in the Arkham ___ games was a twist i was not at all expecting and was pretty fun E: The animated "Gotham By Gaslight" is very silly but kind of fun. Watched that over a flight to Nashville.

Agreed about Miracle, goddamn. Also, favorite Scorsese for me is Goodfellas. Well directed, well written, incredibly well acted.

Tom King brought me back into liking Batman. The War of Jokes and Riddles is great. I also like Snyder’s run where Riddler takes over Gotham. Zero Year? Miracle Man is terrific.

Lovecraft is a weird old racist and I don’t understand why so many people try to separate his ideology from his “cool” ideas; the ideas are not that cool and there are better things worth your time Like even if he wasn’t a lovely racist dead guy then giant tentacle faced monsters who want to gently caress earth aren’t exactly the end-all be-all of Western creativity

I mean, WWE is an old lovely racist running a subpar show and receiving the most money and talent throwing their lives at him because of brand. And then people justifying clear bad decisions with past successes or pretending spiteful hatred is "best for business". People just get stuck on brands.

Lovecraft undeniably had dogshit world views and it did bleed into some of this work but like, he's been dead for almost 100 years. I don't think there's the same amount of harm in buying a collection of his stories that there is in, let's say, buying a ticket to a Mel Gibson movie. Eldritch horror is the only kind of spooky poo poo that can still creep me out at this point.

E/N: I’m in the program (AA) so my wife, who had been lying to me about her binge drinking, is now also in the program. I mean she’s gotten a sponsor (not me!) and is going to meetings. Her very close friend —who had been my friend for years before either of us met the woman who would be my wife—knew about the lying and drinking and never told me. Did a lot of the drinking with her. I wanted to meet with her and us altogether and clear the air, share everyone’s story, and repair the community. Restorative justice, y’all. Friend messages me back that she is working on herself and can’t quite deal and will let me know when she wants to talk. Like hoooooly poo poo the loving brass balls on you to gently caress with my marriage and tell me you’ll let me know when you have time for me. Okay I’m done.

Maybe they don't want to deal with the confrontation and consequences of what they had done. Still doesn't excuse them and you're right to be angry with them.

He was not the originator of the idea that there's a terrible tentacle thing sleeping and when it wakes up, it will eat us all. People were using that spook each before papyrus. Lovecraft is the most accessible. He was my first exposure to the idea of necromancy beyond a rpg mechanic. BTW necromancy is way more boring than geomancy. Great if you like naps tho.

A lot of what Lovecraft did was going through the works of Charles Fort. Another large chunk of what he did was trying to evoke the same terror and fear in his readers that he felt whenever he saw whenever he spotted an Italian. A while back I read a book detailing both Lovecraft's inspirations as well as the unintended influences he left about. Turns out all this ancient aliens poo poo is his fault.

Well now I'm just imagining somebody literally xenophobic, so much so that they piss their pants in terror whenever they see somebody outside their phenotype. Somebody who qualifies as racist but is so absolutely horrified of 'others' they're too scared to speak out against them.

Another large chunk of what he did was trying to evoke the same terror and fear in his readers that he felt whenever he saw whenever he spotted an Italian. Plus the times he just went "gently caress it mask off" and wrote massively racist poems where he turned his subtext into just text. I won't link to it, but there's a 1912 Lovecraft poem with a title that starts "on the creation of" that takes the already racist Kipling "half demon and half child" stuff and turns the volume up to full..

Pissing on the legacy of old racists is second to destroying that legacy. It's a pretty solid second though.

They are waaaaaaay different but Outer Wilds is basically a perfect exploration/puzzle-solving game that I treasure memories of and Outer Worlds is a forgettable FPSRPG that looks really pretty and lacks a strong central narrative

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a reference to the french revolution in some weird deep cut way or whatever but "We don't know how dirt works" is just not that great a twist in space. And I mean that's basically what the game is about. That's the whole narrative.
