this whole idea in both the fandom and the games themselves that being a people attached to their past & a lost civilization is a failing whereas a celebration of the present is something to strive for wrt elven & dwarven culture is something that reads as fundamentally western & liberal to me.

Despite, well, everything - I am still really excited about the new content. I want to see what it looks like when they don't have to change it for sponsors or youtube. I hope it gets a lot more unhinged. I hope it will be a lot more creatively fulfilling for them. I hope they have success with WatcherTV. I really hope things will turn out okay.

Look if you thought I wasn’t going to love Lisa Frankenstein then I don’t know what kind of person you thought I was because that film right there. Exactly what I needed in my life.

Wow, so now we have four poster visuals of the movie (aside from the collaboration version with mission impossible of course), and I can't wait to watch this movie in the cinema someday...

By the way, there was a talk event which was held by the local publisher of the manga several days ago, which they streamed live on the local publisher's IG account. The event was held at the pop up cafe in a famous shopping mall in Jakarta, and when they talked about this movie, one of them (the pop up cafe's staff) pointed out that it would be released in March (in my country). I don't know if this is valid or not, but that person said it confidently, so it's probably true. Not to mention that there's no new information about the movie's release date for now...

Well, let's see if that statement is true, or probably they'll release the movie before March (I still hope that I can watch it on my birthday though... which is in January and not March). I've heard from somewhere else that the movie would be released in Singapore in February, so probably it will be soon after that.

Reading the forum thread around ffxiv's id leak around the whole blacklist update is genuinely infuriating. People refuse to educate themselves and understand the cause of the leak lest they need to get off their "modders bad" high horse.

What a shitshow. And what a shitshow the devs created. I am immensely disappointed in Yoshi-P and the team. The implementation was shockingly amateurish and that caused an *irreversible* leak, there is no way around that. They can only prevent future leaks. This is already bad. They have fucked up.

Also don’t mean to dig deeper into Fanon than Kollontai, it’s just that I’ve already deconstructed most of my thoughts on Kollontai’s writing, esp her devaluing of traditionally female forms of labor. Which is in itself fascinating. How can you espouse to be an egalitarian society where workers are all made equal if you fundamentally don’t value certain forms of labor? The cognitive dissonance is SOOO juicy.
