Walking through Kamurochō. Guy in a suit so white it makes me angry bumps into me so i throw a punch. Miss. He breaks a bicycle over my head. Individual leaves of lettuce and a single dog collar explode from my body as I collapse
lol... honestly the conflation does feel more and more accurate these days, although arguably the gaming-gambling distinction has always been on a spectrum
love when they call it the "gaming" industry. i love rolling it around in my mouth like a marble and try out the other ones; the watching industry, the reading industry, the listening industry. yeah, very serious industry here.
ha god i'd finish my tasks early and then play games on my phone while waiting on being given more tasks, then get reprimanded for being on my phone. ok give me new tasks faster then
of course doing too much work will fuck you up eventually, but assuming burnout is only a matter of workload is naive. in my opinion *and* experience, it doesn't matter if your workload is small, it's still gonna make you wanna kill yourself if the work itself feels meaningless.
crazy when you see "anti-burnout measures" that are all about limiting people's agency wrt how much work they can undertake... when i burnt out working a shit job ten years ago it wasnt so much the workload but everything around it making me feel disempowered, making the work itself unfulfilling.
thanks tom!
stuck with whatever OS it is in ouroborous incident
i feel like bruno ganz's character in wings of desire when he stops being an angel and experiences being human for the first time except it fucking sucks
RIP to my streak of not getting sick 1994-2026

scribble in the book that says "l'histoire coloniale française" (french colonial history)
got someone's scribbled-in copy of perec's la disparition at the brunswick secondhand bookshop which i found out has a single relatively well-stocked shelf of french books. wonderful.
perfect weather for a bike ride!
@tiredfoxtrot.bsky.social cant reply to your post but yea i noticed that and wanna fix it. thanks for the heads up!
lol @dhtencate.bsky.social i did think of you when formulating this thought
call me climate conscious the way im recycling locations in this game's narrative so we have fewer scenes to design from scratch
