Wow. I dropped it too early then.

I kinda rolled my eyes and was like “Is EVERY Viking story just an endless circle of killing fathers killing sons killing fathers again?”

Maybe I should give it another chance…

Yeah I’m kinda terrified to watch that one, not gonna lie. I get an emotional overreaction just looking at the cover…

It’s definitely a tight rope. I was a bit of a “gun nut” as a teen. Mostly by way of fiction and research.

But the difference, and why I’m probably alive and with all my fingers today, is my dad constantly and heavily emphasized safety alongside exposure in controlled environments. They were something to fear and respect, but not be afraid of.

I worry about this as a soon to be father myself. We might be in a situation where arms become necessary, God forbid.

An interest can be healthy, but we definitely need to put the ridiculous carelessness and violence-porn power fantasies into the “outrageous stupid entertainment in moderation” box, rather than glorifying it as a core part of our culture.

I still feel really curious about getting around to that one.

The most unsettling thing is working at my local library, and that movie’s been out for a long time now, and I see it circulating CONSTANTLY.

That speaks volumes about what’s on people’s minds, I think…

“Would you like to play a game?”

I’m so scared to play that game. I also am very much not willing to engage in real warfare, so, I guess it’d be preaching to the choir… But yeah…

Dice. Definitely dice.

And also highly fatty meats. It’s usually just butter. So much fucking butter.

Anthropology: The study of mankind’s quest for readily available fat.

LOL I learned so much from this, thank you.

And also: Fume and dust extraction is no joke!!

I think we were all hoping that some loveable genius was quietly subverting their surveillance state and getting a view of the outside world via Team Fortress 2, but, yeah, if it’s not North Korea’s fattest man, it’s probably a high ranking military crony.

. . .Hey just musing here but that sounds like a kinda hilariously easy doxx. You don’t think they’d keep state secrets on that same machine? . . . Surely. . .? Noooo. . . 🤔

I never noticed but it feels like that’s “Cool Retro Term (CRT)” running that amber interface in the background there.

I’d be willing to guess it, anyway. :D

(The machine with the only Steam account active in North Korea would like to already knows your location)
