Aggressive Inline sadly does not get the love it deserves. I remember playing it on a demo disk and being immediately blown away by how much freedom you had. If it wasn't for the fact it was about roller blading I think this game would have been much more remembered alongside Tony Hawk and Dave Mirra games.

It was basically Tony Hawk 3 but with Tony Hawk Underground 2-style level mechanics, way ahead of its time, giving it a 3 in ingenuity is kind of funny looking at how much it was praised in these reviews for being ahead of the curb.

Also, sub-par soundtrack?? The game opens to Crawling in the Dark, has Passing Me By by The Pharcyde, Sublime?? A little short for a PS2 game sure but sub-par it is not, especially not for 2002. If anything I think them using smaller artists like Boy Hits Car and Student Rick really helped it define its identity. In the same way I associate Police Truck and New Girl with THPS1, every time I hear I'm a Cloud or Your Disease, I'm instantly transported to that carnival map.

fuck the grind. fuck work culture. i want a slow life. i want to wake up in the morning and scramble eggs and saute some spinach, squeeze some orange juice and cut up some strawberries, and eat it all while sitting on my porch and watching my goats mill about in the yard. i have a world of downtime to bake bread and garden and read and craft. i am free.

i love and support trans people! having this on your blog means you love and support trans people too!

I hate hbo max. I hate Disney +. I hate Amazon prime. I hate streaming platforms that treat their staff and creators like donkey shit. I hate that they don’t compensate for rewatches or popularity and can’t even take out the fucking commercials. I hate our monthly fees for media that can just be put in the vault and written off as if it never existed. I hate our reliance on mega corporations for our daily serotonin. I want weekly shows where I can theorize with my friends. I want dvds to be popular again. I want no commercials and for my favorite creators to be paid to imagine a better world than this.

FUN FACT: I’m actually *further* to the left now than I was in my 20s!

I think everyone should make dumb ugly zines and bad music and write shitty books with weird premises and publish them for pay what you will online. I think people should write plays that are only ever intended to be performed with their friends in their living rooms. I think people who like ttrpgs should explore bizarre itch.io games and new systems that have no affiliation whatsoever with any major publishing house. If youre lucky enough to have a cool local community radio station nearby you should listen to that and what people close to you have to say and what they're creating that has no focus on being nationally appealing. I just think creation should be more joyful and local both in a geographic sense and a personal and social sense and unconcerned with whether or not it will be commercially viable or slick or even good beyond your own pride in it. And I think it's good to seek out art that exists for its own sake or to appeal to the community it was created within
