  • Whenever I think of slang I just imagine that scene from the office, “why use lot word when fewer do trick?” Slang is basically that statement being applied into an actual functional modification to language.

    So fuck it fam, live it up. Vibe with the times or whatever. Just don’t overdo it lest you sound a little silly (but that’s the worst that comes from slang…you just sound a little silly)



  • The less you try to understand it the more it makes sense. (Also 23)

    Stupid slang is stupid but it has existed forever (70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers). I say loosen up and enjoy the stupid words. I remember in highschool common slang words were…jit (younger person), fam(friends), on-god(honestly/swear to god), shook (startled, surprised), thirsty(desperate), extra(too much). All of these words were stupid and I resisted using them, but now I just kinda vibe with the people in my life and the stupid slang slowly seeps in.

    Granted I’ve low-key adopted a lot of random shit from different generations just because I enjoy the word more than the original one. Idk life is short, so why waste time trying to understand things that are just going to change in a year, when you can just be in the moment and focus on what’s important?

    I’m not a huge reader, ADHD ensures that. Also the now “traditional”(?) Anime/Manga art style leaves little to be desired for me. (It feels like the Times New Roman for cartoons) so I generally avoid most mangas. But I’ve enjoyed the fuck out of Junji Ito’s stories despite the disturbing imagery. But Tomi’s recurring character is great.

    With how common the isekai the seems to go I feel like it’s become the “rouge-like” of literature though. It cropped up out of nowhere and now I’ve got middle aged men at my job referencing the word. Wild stuff






  • AAA titles are mostly re-optomized towards selling you more of the game, by withholding that game’s content and reselling it for more than they would’ve gotten.

    This is partly a side effect of game value being mostly stagnant for years but also just greed in general.

    Indie games have been a huge boon for me due to that, no bullshit, just a game; a fun game.

    Literally, indie titles and games made by smaller companies (AA titles like Dishonored) have been the most fun for me to date.
