In his irregular news, culture: User guide of the owner, W. David Marx wrote about the age of selling all twice. His argument was that, at the end of the 20th century, artists were considered to be acceptable because the trade activities were understood as paid for creative work, but now, the most successful creators of the culture were sold out just to sell more.
In fact, the 21st century was the age of the sellers twice: creators producing content-friendly content to the market to achieve fame-and then using that popularity to pursue trade further for trade. MrBeast is said to be one of the most important “creators” of our time. He dreamed, produced and directed meticulous and sensational video content, which made him the No. 1 channel on YouTube. After that, he used the popularity in this world … to open a general fast food chain.
I did not completely agree with the classification of Marx’s Poptimism, but I shared his final conclusion: that we should work to “convert the directions towards, at least, ‘don’t sell out.'” This must be more right with the media in general. The relationship between readers and publishers has become faint in the digital age, in the way we all understand, create a less lucid object and a media business is less responsible. The only real solution is to become a perfect snobbish about what is wonderful and what is not, and then to support what is great with the enthusiasm of a teenager with a band that loves it while consistent, meaningful to everything else.
This is happening, of course. 404 Media Merch is basically Merch Band. I, as always, is only salty about the relative little of interesting websites in video games. No, that is not counted. No, the other is not, sorry. Sunday is not often.
Tim Radford, former Scientific Editor of the Guardian, worked for another time when he noted in 2011 that “you must have readers”, but “25 commandments for his journalists” are still the same.
The press is important. However, it never has the full self -respect itself. Nothing sent a reader to the letter, or the racing column, faster than the pride. Therefore, simple words, clear ideas and short sentences are very important in all storytelling. So a sense of disrespect.
I have been the one who follows the daytime youtube vlogs since 2020, when it feels like they have replaced a human experience that I died in the context of locking. Now they are created, because of course they, like Alex Sujong Smilelin wrote about For Defector. Perhaps more interesting, humans are currently creating ditl videos to imitate the slop, thus completing the content of Ouroboros. You will want to read this for the links it contains.
These are all the bizarre AI -LOP interpretations about the Ditl genre, “filming” from the perspective of the first person, often standing out with the hands and feet with too many fingers and toes and the sound of breathing to indicate fear. Their values are not in their accuracy but their impossible. There is no risk of confusion with something created by humans, but their descriptions of historical tragedies are fascinating in a gloomy and traditional way.
The philosopher Mary Midgley argued that “an overly disgusting” in the European philosophy tradition could be the consequence of many philosophers to live their entire life as a bachelor, no women and children, “after all, an important aspect of human life.” Midgley’s observations were rejected by the BBC when performed in a radio script in the 1950s, but was discovered in her later work and by Ellie Robson in an article for Aeon.
Her view is basically this: Some philosophical issues seem important because the types of life lived by philosophers have thought of them. With Descartes still firmly in his Crossshairs games, Midgley pointed out the example of the so-called ‘problem of others” and awareness about whether we can really know that anyone else other than us exists. Midgley argued that a person was pregnant, that is, there was another person living within them, will never consider this as an important question worthy of deep ponder and philosophy.
I really like this short Bluesky theme from Charlie Warzel, a writer in the Atlantic. “The questions that can make you appear stupid for interviewers are often some of the best questions” in my experience, and a great advice.
Former Editor -in -chief RPS Katharine Castle left Eurogamer and the game press last week after 13 years in the trenches. Katharine, for all practical purposes, the only person is not that I have ever edited this site, and I and the industry will miss her difficult work. You can mark this occasion by reading her last article, A Xenoblade Chronicles X: Review Edition Revision.
For ten years, Xenoblade Chronicles X has lived as Black Sheep of Monolith Soft’s Grand RPG Series. The main character has no name, its emptiness, the science fiction of the hard army, and the Misfit, Gung-ho Soldier cast can be recruited in front of its direct opposition and its Melodrama. It could not see or feel more different on the surface, but played x once, a decade since its initial release, I was surprised when it laid the foundation for what would come later in the series.
I was back in Japanese rabbit holes this week and my browser was moaning under the weight of many tabs that I suspected would be a few weeks before I found the way out. Two songs for you this week: The true stop! By Arko Lemming or Koresuke Arishima since 2018; And 青い、濃い、橙色の日 (which Google translates as “blue, deep and orange”) because of the Megastars mass of Shoegaze/Math Rock of fermented drives. I might have included any Motfd song, and I appreciate their 2009 world album as yours (which you can find full on YouTube). As always, all Papers music on Sundays are on a list of their own YouTube play.
