Okay I’m sorry but Three Body Problem is a mess. The writing is all over the place. The logic of the narrative is incoherent, the emotional themes are too scattered to be meaningful, and there are no plot arcs that have any satisfying outcomes or release of tension. Every episode is a setup with no followthrough. The closest thing to a denouement happens in episode 5 (essentially at the halfway point), which has the effect of a reset that drops all previous tensions and plot threads. There’s a serious lack of connective tissue across the entire season. The things that matter in one episode have no bearing on the next. And so it’s also difficult to figure out what’s supposed to matter and what we are meant to care about.

I saw this company that sells like Bluetooth vibrating air drums or whatever you want to call them, and it’s so obvious what their purpose is that it makes me really sad. We went from drum kits to those black/deadened practice kits for practising at home, to eventually having people in rented accommodation being so worried about noise complaints and/or losing their place of living that they’ve had to create drum-less drums. 100% the reason for this is not wanting to get evicted. Living in matchbox houses with paper thin walls of cheap and in-no-way soundproof material, packed so close you’re a stone’s throw from your neighbours, you’ve silenced the drumkit entirely.

Is it any surprise then that people aren’t forming bands? Is it a surprise that artists moved from bands rehearsing in basements and garages in houses, to samples, electronic drumkits, midi, solo ‘bedroom’ stuff, even as we lose more and more rehearsal spaces, and schools stop offering kids musical lessons because they must be inferior to subjects that lead to a job in IT or finance? We lose youth centres, community spaces, musical spaces, and everyone’s world gets a little quieter.

Gentrification. People move into the ‘fun’ parts of town and then file complaints against all the ‘fun’ stuff. Bye bye La Tulipe, they gave a developer a building permit in the fucking downtown culture and entertainment district and now the residents are filing complaints. City councils are so afraid of the word 'rave', they don't know what it means but they think it means 'illicit drugs-taking event' and want to ban any instance of it. The raves move out of the city, to a little space under the national highway, or leave the city entirely.

I wanted to take a walking tour of historically important music sites in London, such as important venues, clubs, studios, the Blitz where the New Romantic kids first congregated for their David Bowie nights, the café where all the musicians including the Beatles would go down to to meet people when they decided the only way to make it in the music industry was to move to London. 3/4 of that tour involved looking for ghosts: empty spaces, corporate offices and residence buildings sitting on the burial grounds of moments of cultural significance. I didn’t do the tour, I don’t think I could bear to look at these places, to try and imagine what they once were and what their neighbours were.

It’s the same with these drums too. I know the makers only want to do good, bless them for that, and I don’t doubt a lot of people will find this a better practice solution than midi because it still sort of has that unquantised feel of a real person hitting sticks— although I suppose if you really think about it, it still is just a midi controller but with a vibrating haptic response. Next you’ll say drums can be done on AR or VR I suppose. It will still make me sad.

It saddens me that we lose so much of the spirit of art and culture to dilution. People trying to make the music quieter so as to not offend the neighbours, even as their spaces get slowly choked out. Writers being unable (/less freely able) to explore darker themes so as to not set the dogs of the ‘problematic writing police’ on them. Artists presenting as less dramatic so as to not appear ‘weird’ to an uninvested audience; TikTok’s obsession with their straitjacketed definition of ‘authenticity’. Making fun of anyone who dares to dress weird, look different, say something new. I see it everywhere. Art gets diluted to become palatable, and in doing so it loses its ability to express itself and say something that needs to be said.

I don’t know. Some could look at it as the weird, twisted, fucked up plant growing through cracks in the pavement, doing what it can to reach the sunlight. Art surviving despite everything, somehow being more poignant and having more important things to say as a result.

But even a 22h candle has an end. We’ve got to do more to protect our artistic spaces and outlets, and the ability to create without fear, or ae risk losing it forever. It takes just one generation to train out habits; we see it with other obsolete things, let’s not let art be one of those.

This is Orchid Mantis, my City of Mist/Otherscape character for our group’s new campaign. She’s part pop star, part Twitch streamer, with most of her concerts taking place in VR-space. She has a legion of rabid fans who call themselves “The Headless,” and before you ask, yes, you can purchase vials of her bath water. (If you play City of Mist, her Mythos is Joan of Arc).

I’ve got a soundboard app for her so I can be extra authentic (and annoying) during sessions.

(She *was* partially inspired by Hatsune Miku, but I took much more inspiration from late 90’s rave and cyberpop outfits for her look, and Babymetal for her music.)

tomorrow night: join me for a HUBS ZONE TOUR!

I'll be recording a video of environments made by artists and musicians in Web VR platform Mozilla Hubs, to document the creativity which emerged there in 2020, before Hubs shuts down their public servers next week. I'd love to bring a crowd, whether you feel like commenting and asking questions, or simply exploring.

details/links to each space will be updated live in this Mastodon thread. starts Tuesday 9PM EDT / Wednesday 1AM UTC

Supernovas in a Modern AU

➼ Word Count » 0.6k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Modern AU

Officially, Apoo is a DJ, and he’ll go around to different parties and weddings to do his thing. One time he was invited to a church to play the piano and was never invited again. However, in his free time, he streams. He mostly plays My Singing Monsters, Just Dance, or Beat Saber VR, but he's always open to suggestions in the chat. He started writing his own music as well and has grown a pretty loyal following.

Bege still runs his Mafia business but is also the founder of one of the local shoe shops in the heart of the city. It's a nicer place that sells dress shoes and occasionally tuxedos. He always uses the place as an alibi or a cover-up to excuse his whereabouts whenever the cops come and question him and his boys.

Bonney owns and operates a small pizzeria located on the corner of the road. She hardly ever has any rude customers due to the place having a Waffle House type of reputation, girlie is always ready to throw down in the parking lot. And on the weekends, when her shop's not open, she'll go down to the local board game clubs and play Jenga with whoever's there.

X Drake joined the Military the second he got out of high school and never looked back. It always felt like the right decision for him, especially since his parents couldn't afford for him to go to college. Once he retired, however, he turned to zookeeping in the reptile exhibits. He loves his job and will go to Drake concerts whenever he has the money and time to go to one.

Urouge is the pastor at his church (and a regular at the clubs). Some are put off by him, whereas others find him to be comforting to confess to. He considers himself to be a man of the Lord, even if he frequents the cabaret clubs a tad too often.

Hawkins is, more often than not, operating his interior design business, but he does have a little voodoo shop on the side and will frequently read his tarot cards to people who walk in. He's also somewhat of a hit with the farmers as he makes them all scarecrows in August that help keep critters out of their crops.

Law is a traveling doctor who likes to help in areas that are in the midst of pandemics/epidemics. He always feels obligated to go to those places specifically. He always gives kids heart-shaped stickers whenever they've been treated by him. His reputation is very shrouded and some people consider him to be a modern grim reaper whenever he visits their country, blaming him for whatever illness that has spread.

Kid is an avid gun supporter and, as such, sells and makes them. He owns a shooting range and almost all of the Rage Rooms in the city. Whenever he's free, he and Kiler will go down to some of the nearby raves and party together.

Killer runs a pasta shop within Kid's shooting range. He's the one who usually deals with bad customers so that Kid doesn't get himself another lawsuit. He's also known for being the one to end all of the fights picked with Kid.

Blackbeard is one of those really cocky, know-it-all museum employees who make people feel dumb whenever they ask a question. He gambles a lot, has limited knowledge of most of the stuff in his exhibits, and probably deals crack cocaine with people in the alleyways.

Thoughts on the new trailer (SPOILERS)

Although it's mostly combat views, it's still nice to see some more in-game footage (as well as some cinematics).

Etuwa already vibes as adopted mother for me, and can't wait to see how she'll interact with us throughout the game.

Looks like an Iknimaya to me, although Ubisoft seems to opt for a more "peaceful connection" between rider/ikran than the cannon wrangling.

This is just wishful thinking, but to me it looks like there'll be spawnspots for our potential ikran, giving us a chance to choose one (it might also be one of those "go to 3 different spots" missions to underline the searching aspect with a pre-set model. But I hope for my version XD)

90% sure we'll have a first flight experience. If there's gonna be VR support, I HOPE they include an ego perspective setting while on flight/ride mode.

WE DESERVE THAT

Still can't believe it's less than 3 months until we finally get the game \(Q^Q)/

Which means the statue will arrive too.
