MYOPIA
Not seeing the forest or the trees for the squirrel
.
My threshold of frustration has been hit, and now I must bitch. nice. good job. The otherday youtube threw a masseffect video at me with a title approximating "elusive man based" or someshit. This isn't about that video. nor is it about videogames. In this video which, Ship knows why i clicked on it, i expected to be some obscured attempt to talk about how great elon musk is, (and maybe was) the dipshit eventually says something like "until in masseffect 3 when they have him act out of character and go full evil mode" drawing some distinction between the way he was writen in me2 and 3. To be clear for those who havn't played the game, so my point is not overly obscured, the elusive man only existed in me1 as someone refered to in alusion, was there even a specific "elusive man"? we couldn't say. 'He' was the leader of Cerberus, known terrorist organization whose terrorism including deliberately setting thresher maws to kill all the human soldiers except 1/3 of Shepards. So if this elusive man actually exists his "human supremacy policy" which we don't even really know about very much at all, is nothing so nobel as that, and like most similar situations in reality is egotistical power grab for the sake of power and nothing more. ME2 starts with shepard dieing in a cutscene, and then Cerberus grabbing his body to make a Ghola which they then outfit with a ship and send off to do their dirty work. people generally don't have a problem with ME2. It has better combat than ME1 they say. Then they will say, ME3 is bad because the ending sucks. idiots. from the change to guns having ammo in me2 to the very first thing you experience is something that takes away all decision making and killing your character, it's clear that who ever was in charge of ME2 did not give a shit about what was being done in ME1. I honestly don't know how anyone can play both games back to back and not see it. ME3 is "worse" than ME2 of course. Why? because it is the nessicary conclusion to terrible decisions. it is the explosion which comes after the fuse was lit in ME2. There was no "good" ending to ME2. people cast around trying to justify their emotional response to being hit, and blame the hand that made contact. they may sometimes look back far enough to see the wrist or arm, but few are the people who actually see the person behind it, and even less see that it was their fault for being at the place in space, time, and context where being hit was a foregone conclusion. They see some specticle and never ever think what confluence of cause resulted in this? What environment predicated the previous status quo and what changed which made this spectacle occur. If they try to do this they almost always look to the wrong thing. tw: politics American Eagle. People are complaining about some literally random actress. You think she is the one who made /any/ decisions about this ad campaign? are you retarded? use your fucking brain for more than finding porn for a sec. it's /better/ to blame the ad ajency, it's best to blame Jay Schottenstein (you could go a step further, and i wouldn't blame you, if this guy isn't part of some retarded conspiracy then his braindead approval of this campaign, either deliberate or in ignorance is unforgivably moronic). Food stamps (re:removing soda and junkfood). People throwing blame at people using a system that exists. people for whom the system has either not made a place for them, or has actively sought to harm them in most other ways. Ok. Sure just accept class based infighting you myopic morons. it's so tiring. Why was soda ever on food stamps in the first place? any guesses from the class? things don't just get thrown on that list for /no reason/. Lobbing groups fight to get their products on it. Which lobbying groups? The corn product lobbies. It can be said that soda, chips, cereals, are toxic runoff from the Corn to ethanol industry. So, What situation could possibly be present where states are now willing to piss off this industry which has historically been a vital Department of Defence asset? but sure, keep denegrating the class of people the 30 some tiktokers who are being paid to make videos specifically to rage bait against. Good job. And I am not pissed off about these political situations. I am in despair at the myopia of the human organism.
