Escapism ; Activism and videogamers as prosumer


I'm going to have to read/audiobook infinite jest, don't i? Given his thought experiment of the amusement-to-death show, from Jokers laughing gas to Neil Postman Amusing ourselves to death. Well, to clarify, this is critiquing gamers as a consumer demographic/physiographic by industrial standards.

Even with literary/commercial when it comes to editing, there's the 

Despite sentiments trying to depoliticise escapism, even if it leads towards the polite fictions outside. Our interactions of social media cannot afford to have our break as our fiction, from slice of life to slice of escapism, warrants it.

Suggest the webs we weave out of the fiction, inspire our acts and vice versa, rainbow capitalism is the case for it, (yet, given my position, not really. )

This is why I don't consider gamers, with their prosumeration and lack of literacy-friendly ways, to be considered worthwhile. Priories of finding a way out of babysitting cultural distress signal.

Includes Bob Chipman (I have my fair share of disagreements with this critic, he was trying to be a literary critic, even ten years ago, it goes to show within the span of time how much gamers haven't grown out of this consume-first mindset.)

It's so editorial resistant to its own pretensions, so I'd best deliberately ignore such theatrics.

I don't follow him any more.

The continued tantrums as a business model, ah, how it insists respect from the editorialists and expertise while also to doing the work to earn it.

Another one to finish, Tooltime as been an old video blogger with his own therys of media of why he does not engage with it, why he ain't boring. He does not have to grow, and that's enough.

This one of them is cultivation/hyperdermic theory, cultivation theory of influences being a theme. Ten years ago, wow, back when I was a kid. 36:20

He's the only one who has done a good faithed critism of a mediocre essay series.

Why I am a literary editor, not a commercial one.


 Since commercial speaks for itself, I aim for the long-risky term and along more complexity of an established foundherentism principle. Figuratively in it's totaly.

That's what literature and by definition is, most of the ludo logical tautology online simple is not. Literacy requires pretension to be comprehended from audience to author. Where hypocrisy with all the affecting that since entertainment writing is meant. Entertainment writing ain't as pretentious as academy, editorial, journalism, and politics.

Yet such a distinction is worth talking and reminding once and again. That's for the foolish fiction to be the philosophical fact, to editorialise and to fictionalise once again.

Since the net, everybody can copyright now (Including this link towards pretension! Wow) Yet with everything with hyper-measurement, it ain't that scruncabley simple.

Defeatism


The thing about defeatism and internet that there's no rule of law within the wild west to call it out, for the adult to stop the toddler demanding there owed entertainment. Such a finance that affect.

Such opportunism and defeatism of mentality will remain in the shadows of our ism's. Ideologically speaking.

The A.I Gulf, and auto-posting software : Postbirb/Buffer


When you do research to do a journalistic piece. You go around all the Internet to editorialise into an essay, these are all notes. Incoherently placed, here we go.

Since others use auto-posting software, I've dabbled within postybirb, and the more dubious online app buffer. I discovered Buffer advertises itself with link shortening, so I'll be direct. ( No point hiding it, I don't think boycotting/blacklisting will work either. ) Toothpaste is out of tube.

It's dubious since it has an auto-durative intelligence, that I haven't used. That if you want my word, since I want to be a professional writer, the portmanteau between illustrator and writer is a cartoonist. Not going to be using the 

( Postybirb does not do this, by the way. Even though, a spell checker is always appreciated for typos. )

No, I don't endorse it, yet my vote ain't going to count, ain't it? It's been integrated within 'Grok' within xwitter, and that I've been. There's still a rough folk congregation, a Venn diagram of the forming groups under various labels and political sympathies. I have some for the open source with my gift, as long as I own it. Well, It's the time for the commons and public domain have been useful services to our society. My characters coming from pride and prejudice.

(Sometimes I anthropomorphize my ideological conflicts as characters for my entertainment, Regardless. Do I even Fictionalise myself into a entertainer to absolve any responsibility? I'm certainly against the maximisers and what Chuck Wendig has done.)
To sketch out the labels some further, This is what called positioning:

Ai Futurists - Open sourcers ()  Copyright Maximisers - Ai Haters
Lets show this concept some more.

Some people use sneer/scare quotes within open source.
Fair use is always going to be murky water. You don't own concepts, poses, or colour schemes.

The grifters are the tasteless Elsa gate churners targeting illiterate kids to game with the essentialising of money for their product. Perfectly designed, unlike the imperfection wabi-sabi of art.

Despite Seth Godins endorsements of tech, I'm a technologist when it comes to aiding within the creative labour industry and freelance sectors. It's still decimating as we speak. I'll keep track of him. His take on AI going through a Gartner hype-cycle is another thing. It's something I resonate with, since once again, This genie has been out of the bottle.

With indie publishing, even when small businesses themselves can be as bad as their commercial counterparts. Then with Stephanie Sterling and above with the many disputes of Fair use being a muddy term of creation.



The water-usage is overblown, I've donated directly to Ecosia, which I recommend switching your search engine too. Heard it's less than boiling a kettle, I've rebalanced by carbon with a donation that I'm planing to give or my own writing of fiction.

There must be something about wasting water that really clicks with people, maybe because they can visualize it? It's kind of farcical, the WaPo story about this tried to make it sound like a lot of water and in the process admitted it's... not?
Holy f**k I missed that: TRAINING ALL OF GPT-3 consumes in total as much water as... producing beef for two people for a year. Not pro-rated to the usage of GPT-3 two people make in a year. Total. And we get a whole article about the water consumption of AI?! bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Since the growing of the usage of AI, I've been following the blogging of various writers who's describing their thoughts. So I'll have to keep track of this. Oh, I will vote for the shadow libraries because it's a means to spread the idea. I shall defend to the death for a creative to sales rep for free and paid. The economy of gifting and hobby does not exist.


I'll resolve this with a video by Shaquille on this. 21 min for those who have missed it.

They'll certainly be a market for hand-made craft, with more and more of this silly technology play-do'd search matter will create more blacklist. I speculate that it's still going to resurface with new iterations. This regurgitation is tasteless. This lack of direct action from others is also tasteless.

I do believe good artists should get paid for the labour and activism, yet this will move towards my leanings, given with my own accord. Copyright maximalism ain't the answer. It's not like these untouchable technopolys deserve any PR anyway, including Nintendo.

Assuming Direct Control: Ideoeros

With the love of fiction comes with the love of the intangible ideas. (Reading Susan Haack, Despite her critic of dialectical materialism, she's got a solid epistemological study through such academese. Academes does not translate well into social media. What it means to consciousness raise to a public audience.)

Direct control is relative to the ideological justification provided, such is the authority, authorising new cultivations. 

With no election, contest or anointment, performances lead before. It's best to be direct, to simplify. At first, for the intuitions of the public, started with publishing.

Such is our fragments made from the once deferentialism, now it's with the cynics out there who happen to respond. Out of the platforms with our ideas that our for the culture, not some kind of algorithm that seeks to do.

A way of viewing of what can be seen an erotic nature of property.

Paids likes volume Advertising; Electorlism

Completely abstract expressionist. Aren't we?

‪As I evolve and adapt my praxis, it comes to mind that advertising, money and its influence remains forever predominant. That's not fatalistic, that's simply acknowledging what advertisers want.

Whats data for? Since advertising takes from the book of electorlism. So to quote.

"Here's a thing: People who analyse social media look at volume of dialogue on a topic to help understand the relative importance of a given thing or event. If you talk about a thing on social media, even to make fun, you are amplifying it's importance, which impacts more than you know.
You want to see less of a thing, don't say anything at all about it. Block it. Ignore it. Mute the words.
"But Bluesky doesn't work off algorithms!" But paid media off Bluesky does. So do investment analysis firms. Advertising campaigns. Market analysis for local big box stores. "This is what people on Bluesky are talking about." "Well, then it must be important!"

South Bay working marketing teaches Media literacy again. Emphasis on paid media. This is what editorial should know with mass audiences amd there cultivations.

Men in black quote.

Nicey-nice Exocolonist objection


[CW: Discussion of politics, Nazism and Christian topics]

Such a term made to describe prosumerist trends online. "No pawlitics" with a rabid defence. If you do the language of entertainment, do it right.

Be it cultivation or hypodermic

Link to the exocolonist article by Doc Burford can be cussy, drives a point home though.

I can feel the neophiliacs tension with this quote, thats only in so far as the intended audience cares about the newness alomg with there vendors.

"Look, you can never consider yourself special or discerning for enjoying a product that employed a literal army of marketers in a skyscraper somewhere with the express goal of getting you, personally to spend money on the product. You’re a consumer. You bought the most marketed thing in the world. It’s like basing your personality on liking Coca Cola, the most popular soda on the planet. Congratulations on being the laziest mother______r alive, incapable of discovering anything for yourself because you’re an incurious f___.

Why would you ever demand respect for doing something easy? Why would you demand respect for liking something popular? It’s popular, which means a lot of people like it. By definition, you cannot be special for liking the big and popular thing!

But along comes the person who buys the game with the ads in Times Square and the commercials on the television and the standee in gamestop and the neverending press coverage (because it gets the clicks, and who’s doing the clicking? a lot of other people just like you!) and they go “I’m special! I’m special for consuming the commercial product!”

I wouldn’t consider you a discerning consumer for buying a McDonald’s McChicken sandwich every day, so why would I consider you a discerning consumer for buying the most commercial s___ in the world?

Congratulations on being boring.

Now, hey, this isn’t to say you can’t enjoy popular media! I enjoy a McChicken. The Last of Us 2 had a pretty good shotgun and some nice graphics! But to suggest that you are special for consumption? That’s what is ludicrous. It’s not even serious. It’s pathetic and boring."

He rants about wholesome next, along with escapist and ironic within entertainment, that's another thing with commercial fiction.

Such is our rule 34, clickbaitiness that's harmless since it is fictional entertainment, technically. (Well, the rule 34 kink scene never changes, it never does Wow, how they hack it away within their territorialism of slop. That's what the hackneyed defeat of it all of these platforms want, more data, more coursing and the end.

I can only relate to them with these other platforms, propriety strictness of the platform with a SEO that's hard to ignore.

It's still prosumers for the dysfunctional business models awaiting it's return. Act on the platforms accordingly. Aah, the annoying commercialism and it's paradoxs. thats another pondering. (Even the article asks for it, welcome for the machine.)

Mindless attraction, Mindless repulsion reduction. Gambling and the desire machine.


Tension 》 release/interpassivity which is the point of fictional entertainment in its brute reductionism, applied into dominion and monopoly over the social media.

I bet, with all the hackneyed work of what is deemed hackneyed now with circularity farmed for shareholder fixation, do we see it.

Desire machine that entertainment designs.

Essay of addiction by design, or compulsion.

What a sensation, motor operations made unpersuasive, that's the hope for the effort.

Careless Leftovers


Its bally creep.

The bally to call attention of short attention. Careless moments of things that are speak.

Little leftovers have from the crypto creep and desire for converting it from the most naive. This is what is leftover, with all the careless things getting more and more careless with less and less curation.

Left and sold. Left and sold. You are the product.

Hourly media game, professional =/= personal


The problem with certain trends that if you don't follow them you get ostracized. Such as a hoopla and the Pokémon phenomenon.

I will probably be missing out on the hourly Comics so I could only do a joke, not like it barely worked or had any traction. The surprise you pay to do something new.

Everybody talks about Brand even though it's not really a replacement for having a personality, one that talks as an end of itself.

Hitting specifications isn't a replacement for a personality.

So I miss this cargo cult, most likely for the better. Could not even understand it.

Not sexualising Jaimes trans Medicalism

Position Revised with following council of Geeks essays, opinion of him varies.

As a cisgender man, who's gay. Reading testimonies via trans, expecting solidarity with representation within their entertainment.

Listening to other trans in regard to the representation, such as council of geek.

Some don't seek medical intervention when doing transitions, with their medical scars and transitions being fetishes being not the answers, whatever the case. Their feelings matter and deserve a platform going forward.

Learn something new everyday. I'll learn more nuances as I go along.

Pretentious Hack


Who'd you trust? The honest hack or the pretentious one who calls himself and artist, wanting his tantrum taking seriously. 

The taxi driver who delivers, delivers you weird yet still on the point, or the one somewhere different where it completely does not work. Believing him the 'artist'? Despite the creativity being a liability.

Such is a retrospective of Doug Walker's the wall, the review that labour'd a risky commercial expression. It's bad.

Other that the complete contradiction of it being a love letter, along with the lack of an attempt of a soft sociological point of view being expressed. Because its comedy, contradiction for amusement? Or not..

I'd care for the inconsistencies if this was such an insult to a work of art. It was a literary endeavour, Doug's was, unintentionally.

no. There are plenty of reviews on the pretentious review, that you may have seen. He won the race to the bottom.

Understanding popular publisher spec


The specifications left behind by popular publishers aren't necessarily better, but they are well liked for their well likeness. (Boorstin Complaint 1992 image magazine. Well know for his well-knownness.)

It's exposure still, overexposure from the Cthulhu effect from empiricism of the market.

Search the reasoning comma specifications making a machine of a vendor that is most untouching, do a mistake the machine from the Artists as our complications fold.

Merely that's what social mass advertising wants, to be universally liked within the c-suite that shows a single number going up.
 
What a short term system it is. Only organized commune way will go out.

My feelings with the pokemon base

Skintilla, One of the Twitcher streamers who are couched. Now for my feelings. Oil pastel paintings bring me back.

I have been the most jaded kid, and I have been the most enthusiastic kid. Fandom and hated does that to ya, let me tell ya. Ambivalent-dom? Nah, My relations are alright now.

What am I to do with the most commercial property, with the popularity of the publisher leaving high SEO and cease and desist letter within its wake. Nintendo itself not being a friendly business when it comes those who love the franchise. What a love-hate relationship.

Back in the mid 1990s I was chirping “Clefairy” As a young'un, I was making silly games with the Pokémon and role-plays with a teenage, now today it's gone with all the time.

There's no denying of it's impact with the culture, even with its commitments and ideas reflected with the modding of other monster-trainers within the action genre. With its own trace into the card-trading scene which someone in my family does disclose unpacking on a streaming service, what a market.
Right now, a pack for something to be opened, with a surprising act.
Hearing about this overcommercialisation of this merchandise. It's no surprise though.

Matt and Trey have made a tiring satire of how overcommercialization it is, and I can only resonate so much. Since Children's media will always be more commercial than adult stuff. That's simple arthritic. Jaded as I was back being a kid, it's now time that my engagement cannot be serious over such harmless fun. (Got the that clip of a long essay of chinpokemon From those ambulance chasering writers. (WW2 Reference cw, If I could make an essay of those tired writers.)

Since to such with the over-exposure and the familiarity, so the dignity began to dissipate with the poke-hunk community, brushing with many a controversy as the lack of structure as let us be like this.

That's what fandom is, It's not an amorphous blob to nitpick with, only through the little pit could civil conversation of the entertainment product could be had. It's been friendly enough. Hopefully they are critical of inequitable business practices to help melt the scepticism.

This mysticism of what is our fandom will still remain, and it's time we acknowledge the scepticism. Of our, what will be done with our cultural remnants of this big empire will have to be made into something new, without their eyes. They will be pin-up artists making them alternative versions down under, whether that it's prosumerist meta or not. I reserve my contention with the big-publishers, rather than the freelancers.

Expect to see more, and for those making something new. Block out it's noise if it ain't to your taste.- We are the fragments of the SEO and impressions made afresh. Collecting ourselves into new communions.

(Oh, the poke-hunks are better than whatever Nintendo publishes, fight me on that. Poke hunks spin-off? My favourite Graphic novel by Bryan Tybalt was based on Sherlock Homles.)

Thank you twitch for the paradoxical name


 I'm a mixed man about it.

Made the difference towards a Llama to a Couch.

With irony failed I felt the most tension with imposter syndrome, then I didn't manage, then I broke down and restructured right back up. This was my entertainment persona.121212

Transactional relationships, Fair weather Mutuals


All Vendors? Prosumer relationships.

Prosumer relationship everywhere.

Up and down. Constant commercial creep, constantly unrelenting.

All specification and no expression makes couch a hollow artifice

All specification and no expression makes couch a hollow artifice, that's what it feels. Game and player passionless cheapness.

All specification and now expression makes a couch a hollow artifice, perfunctory tastelessness that is checked out.

Grooming the metrics. Following smoke and mirrors. Into puffery of software static.

All, make me distress, stress.

Off for now. At least creativity and art remains.

Because perfect ain't the point, the work on spec ain't the point, don't make it the point.

Community of practice/Community of convenience


Unfortunately, hustlers have hijacked the term of commune, to make things of convenience and motivator being lured into the trap.

Copy-performers of status and affiliation, all for the interruption advertisers are adding to inundation. They're asking and hustling for it. Every moment to be converted into a measurement, lost without notice.

Everybody's too busy hustling for the next SEO event, such a game is an act is futility. Something I can afford to avoid, certainly deserving of humanity. Yet not my beeswax. Energy is the serviceability.

Too busy being a gas station, when it comes to direct response platforms, a gas station with trophies. (Quoting that from Stephanie Sterling.)

The praxis is ill-founded on a set of axis, and getting better at a feedback loop of feeding an algorithm. Not my problem if that's the game they want to play.

Guess with the few who want to enrol along with the ride, and not let others be absorbed by the pretentious mass media rush is going to be the course.

20-30 min read on communities of convenience , by Cory Doctorow. With cussing.

It's more IP than community. The certain dragon I critiqued earlier falls in the category.

Deontological Division


What can be an excuse or not an excuse to selfishness?

How many hoops do you have to jump through to meet the minimum viable audience and to show the work?

Somebody said something about to each their own. Yet when it comes to community, a difference between a fair-weather and an all weather friend is a matter of what it takes to display mutuality. Communal spaces could suffer from too much One-up-manship from all the amount.

With the blips of transaction and the intrinsic data, things move, though. Territoralism still lives.

"You don't owe anybody anything, especially people trying to bully you with moralising. Making process videos and streaming is time consuming and sometimes feeling "watched" hurts the creative process. This take only hurts artists."


Altough such a matter of deontological division is a matter of means when it comes to selfishness, could be taken the point of Ayn Randian selfish objectivism. (Who plagiarised a lot of philosophy by Nietzsche )

Individual Exceptionalism


"You're special, just like everybody else." Or so the saying goes.

Merely being unique and remarkable, a pioneer, does not mean you'll survive. Survival still an excuse, a product/service not worth preserving.

Having to make gruelling copy of high trending SEO topics, groomed to capitalized for an attention retention of an algorithm decided to appease them, and not the end-user. Such the wiling call of what is unique that is only going to be a point of tension that will not be leaded.

Only with the smallest amount of connection shall there be a light to understanding that the things that count, and the things that don't with this each of use in our selfish hideouts, lead out into a generous community.

Such a point.

The dissappeared blogs, From monetised whispers.


 There are "meta" blogs, trying to game the algorithm, or attempts for dominion and failures, like cheating and such.

Now it's gone, with writing things to be made into the robots, then there are gone, deleted. Files of information that are left into the wastes of lost-media.

Creativity for creativity's sake ain't celebrated, there are left to rot into the forgetfulness of our times, lead into a most profanely disservice that's made into emptiness.

Yet all of this time. That all this task to be made with a priceless intent, one that is to push forward and honour a desire to give our own selves to aid others.

So yes, do go and make an honest living, that living shall not enclosed with the little spindle of creativity that come forth here.

I'm not monetizing this.
