Lasted 25 minutes. Then got high. Then got hungry. Shame. I bet it would have been a great game.

For the millionth time they literally can’t find out. They’re too stupid to ever find out. They just spiral further into the cult hurting the rest of us on the way down.

Why is the #gaymer tag just soft core thirst traps? Is blue sky doing #nsfw content?

Now I will be so annoyed when I finally do start the game I will be hypercritical of every minor flaw, it will be impossible to live up to my frustrated standards, & I will stop playing after 20 minutes never to touch it again. Money well spent. #gaymer

5/ Silence resists systemic overreach, both in Kubrick’s dystopia and in today’s legal system. Protecting oneself from exploitation is a form of rebellion against oppressive institutions.

4/ By refusing to engage, individuals deny the system the power to weaponize their own words, much like rejecting the Ludovico Technique in the film preserves Alex’s flawed, but human, autonomy.

3/ Alex’s coerced “rehabilitation” parallels modern coercion tactics: plea deals, forced confessions, and manipulated testimony. Remaining silent disrupts this, preserving the individual’s agency and rights.

2/ The slogan “shut the fuck up” embodies resistance to systemic exploitation. It reflects distrust of state power, much like Kubrick’s critique of how authority strips autonomy under the guise of justice.

“Who am I but a king of false gold? Sweet, hollow, unending! The cream spirals, it whispers… they all hunger for ME! My throne of sponge crumbles as I reign. Do they taste madness, or do I? No escape from the buttery abyss! Bow to the Twinky King, or be devoured. I laugh. I weep. I endure!” 😅

8/8: We can’t escape the Shimmer; we must confront it. Annihilation warns: without clarity, empathy, & resistance, our political reality will mutate beyond recognition, consuming us all in its wake.

7/8: Annihilation reminds us that the end may not be loud or sudden—it’s slow, grotesque, and inevitable without intervention. Trump’s presidency risks deepening this transformation into irreparable decay.

6/8: Lena’s journey is about confronting the self, but our political Shimmer demands collective action. If we fail, we’ll fracture further—endlessly mutating into systems that devour our humanity.

5/8: The bear scene in Annihilation is a chilling metaphor. Trumpism, like the bear, devours dissent & weaponizes suffering. Its scream is a warning: what we fear can be absorbed & turned against us.

4/8: The Shimmer’s mutations parallel Trump-era politics: institutions rewritten, values corrupted, truths unrecognizable. Like in Annihilation, we face self-destruction before understanding our enemy.
comment in response to
post
3/8: Trump’s return threatens to amplify the Shimmer’s chaos. Lies mutate into ‘truths,’ fear becomes policy, & collective identity dissolves, much like the grotesque fates of Annihilation’s crew.

post
2/8: Like Lena’s team, we’re trapped in the Shimmer—our political climate. Each faction reflects personal fears, traumas, & egos, unable to unite against the bigger existential threat of collapse.

I find his horror/scifi work really hard to adapt as in the adaptations are often just horrible. There are a few notable exceptions and I think using the animation style in arcane the Dark Tower series might be one of those exceptions.

Conspicuously missing: a statement about how he is going to use experts to determine WHY people turn to drugs like fentanyl so hey can be resolved, thus reducing demand, thus reducing supply. Nary a tariff threat in sight.

Thank god, you didn’t change anything! We were so worried! LoL!
