That's his intention...

I forgot he even directed that one. I was more thinking of Frame of Mind.

So, what I'm hearing is, we're in for some really awesome / utterly mindfuck episodes.

Stardew Valley

SMO?

HOI?

wtf?

Cute orange! Give him extra scritches today.

Have we reached an age of the Internet where people don't know what DDR is anymore??

I'm not that young anymore but I put more hours into Planetside 2 than is even reasonable for how fucking bad I am at it.

Or the guy from Voyager who erased multiple species from ever having existed in a misguided attempt to resurrect his family.

You could really take your pick of Vampire the Masquerade baddies.

Ur-Shulgi, for instance, who looks like a charred corpse, has led multiple genocides, is directly referred to as "violence incarnate," and doesn't seem to have a goal beyond exterminating everything he considers unclean. Depending on who you ask, that may very well be damn near everything, period.

Or Sascha Vykos, who... to call them a torturer is like saying Michelangelo kinda knew how to paint. Vykos is a monster in every sense of the word, and cruelty is both method and goal in a lot of their schemes.

I think so. And if Holt doesn't go into that part of the history then John Taylor Gatto does. Wanna join our book club? You have me wanting to reread all of these.

Then the question becomes how to get other people to see it...

I... did? I mean, I can give you more of my pro tooth reading list but those are the ones that would explain that particular point. I'm not sure what else you're looking for.

Dread Cthulhu demands it.

That'd be cool. I wonder if there's a community for that?

Exactly my feeling. I wouldn't put somebody I hate through that; why the fuck would I do it to someone I love?

John Caldwell Holt, either "Instead of Education" or "How Children Fail." I should reread them; is been a while.

Because school is entirely geared towards parents. Nothing about school is actually good for the people going through it, but the system doesn't actually care about them, and isn't designed to.

If you haven't already, you should read "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Accidentally Maxed Out My Level."
