Language is fun if you let it be. I’m coming more and more to the conclusion that rhetoric is not much of a useful tool for anything other than being understood. When trying to understand someone, it’s more important to be able to communicate to them what you think they’re trying to say and have…

I’ve been watching The Pitt with my parents. Excellent show and fully deserving of the Best Drama Emmy it received. Oh my god is it exhausting. That’s the point of the show. It is trying to convey the absolute hell ER doctors go through day-to-day. However, I’m someone who basks in watching sad things on…

Adapted from a post I did on Tumblr. Who was actually the closest to graduation in Danganronpa? Spoilers ahead. This is not the post for you if you’re not familiar with Danganronpa. It’s functionally the most difficult to graduate in THH because Makoto, Byakuya, and Kyoko are all there to sus you out. Hajime and…

This is just me waxing poetic about missing light gun arcade games. Just some of the best fun I’ve had. My family went on a cruise once, but they had Time Crisis in the lobby, so I just spent the entire time playing that. Anyway, here’s a list of a bunch of old light gun…

It’s annoying that the world is a sort of result of echoancholy. Inherent sadness that everything has basically already been discovered that would’ve been reasonable for you to discover. The thought experiments from Rawls for veil of ignorance and original position sort of legitimize it. Still, the idea of novelty is important in things like…

Hey look, the site has a new name that I’m not going to explain. Hey look again, the “about” section has been filled in. Hey look for a final time, the film rankings have expanded to 25 films. I just finished a rewatch of New Girl for the first time since it ended and it…

(Noun) the quality or state of being verisimilar. Well that’s not very helpful, Merriam-Webster. Verisimilar (adjective) I can’t remember where I first heard the word, but I remember being fascinated by it. The idea of truth in fiction is paradoxical. I mean it’s fiction, whatever you say is real, is real. That’s why we like…
