“ugh, [genre] is so bad, it’s all shallow and stupid and pandering” I hate to break it to you but that is the entire point of Sturgeon’s Law

Theodore Sturgeon was a sci-fi writer in the 50s, back when sci-fi was seen as lowbrow, pulpy, and for children. He countered the dismissive critics with, “yes, 90% of sci-fi is crud. But that’s because 90% of everything is crud.”

if you’re like “oh X genre is universally shallow garbage” you have probably only seen the few most popular parts of it, and the most popular parts of basically any genre are in the 90% of crud. Your genre of choice is not better, you just know it better and you know how to sort the good stuff from the crud.

I've been trying to distract myself from the horrors of modern life by knitting unnecessarily complex cable swatches. They are partly inspired by printer's ornaments and other typographic elements.

I don’t like those mods that “fix” Stardew characters. Their flaws are what make them interesting!

Instead I would like to see mods that make characters worse. Marnie commits insurance fraud! Maru trolls people on Usenet! Linus killed a guy thirty years ago and became a woods hermit out of guilt!

loving your vision anon
