What's Rotting My Brain
books, shows, games, and other cognitive hazards
currently consuming
Epic of Gilgamesh
you know what they say.. nothing beats the classics. whats more classic than the oldest surviving work of literature?? this shit really is so deep. the way grief fundamentally alters you, mortality, and coming to terms with the fact that there is nothing you can do to save yourself. may be ancient but its better than 90% of the slop written today.
Compartment No. 6
trauma bonding across russia on a train. forced proximity. but your honor!! she was gay!! didn’t love that heterosexual kiss thrown in there. anyway the only person Yura Borisov should be kissing is me!!
House of the Dragon S2
this show is like a terribly written fanfiction and i'm not even hating on fanfiction, because those i'm sure are actually written better than this slop. why make a show based on a book if you aren't gonna gollow the book? just to spite me i'm sure. every time i consume it i go into a blind rage that raises my blood pressure. will i be tuning in for the next season? yes
State and Revolution
oh lenin.. how optimistic you were. "the state will wither away," he promised. spoiler alert: it did not.
Ghost of Yōtei
beautiful game but hey can we stop demonizing revenge. also what's with these games and making me sad.
Revolutionary Suicide
we love huey. no romanticism, just telling you exactly what was up.
Dispatch
do you like humor that aggressively uses curse words for no other reason than to be adult? do you love episodic games? then this is the game for you baby
Gone Girl
i support womens rights and wrongs. sigh, will i ever have a chance to traumatize a man like this??
Waterworld
haters will say this movie is too long and also, awful. i'm done pretending this movie isn't perfect cinema. i would say this movie is a work of art. EVERYONE else is wrong, and no, i dont have to elaborate. it's like madmax but with water!! how can you hate on all the jet-skis and cigarettes???
Industrial Society and Its Future
problem: accurately identified solution: not the best
like any manifesto my dude just talks and talks and talks. homie hates leftists but my brother in christ YOUR the leftist.
Sinners
ryan coogler if i planned on having kids i would give you my first born child. thats how damn good this movie is. "ya'll klan?" no notes, argue with a wall. this movie deserved more oscars than it got. the music?? the story?? the historical accuracy?? bruh i was bumping rocky road to dublin so much after this it was in my top 100 songs on spotify wrapped.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
my eyes must be deceiving me... a book accurate asoiaf show?? i must be in heaven. anyways.. im sat, after the hell got and hotd put me through this is like a cold glass of water on a hot day. i could list some minor complaints.. like why did they give everyone short hair? why'd they make everyone so hot?
Disco Elysium
this game is weird as fuck just like me and i really dig that
Fire & Blood
a fake history book? sign me up. this family tree is actually a family wreath.
Andor
come on dude they made star wars even more radicalized? of course i tuned the fuck in. beautiful storytelling. honestly the best star wars media we've gotten in a long ass time.
