The Uttar Pradesh ATS interrogated the Indo-Pak couple Seema and Sachin.

On Monday, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) interrogated Seema Ghulam Haider, a resident of Pakistan, and Sachin Meena, her husband from India. They were questioned by the ATS in Noida at an undisclosed location, according to a senior official of the UP Police.

"ATS is investigating the possibility of espionage and the woman's passage through Nepal to India. To determine if the woman is a "spy" or not, they are being questioned. But they were not detained," the senior official said.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) were requested in a previous letter by the Gautam Buddha Nagar police to look into the evidence they had gathered so far.

In accordance with Sections 14 of the Foreigners Act, 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Passport Act of 1920, Seema (age 27) was detained on July 4 along with Sachin Meena (age 22) and his father (age 59) for entering India "illegally" and giving the woman shelter.

Every single one of the three received a 14-day court order. On July 7, they were later granted bail.

Officials claimed that Seema and Sachin had their first in-person encounter in March and had stayed in a hotel in Kathmandu for seven days. With her four children, Seema visited Nepal once more. Later, she traveled to Mohalla Ambedkar Nagar in Rabupura, Greater Noida, where she has been residing unlawfully since May 13.

Seema stated that she wants to live with Sachin after being let out of prison. Three years prior, Seema met Sachin while playing PUBG and the two immediately fell in love.

“I started playing PUBG in early 2020… I liked how Sachin played the game, so I initiated a conversation and we became friends. Slowly our friendship turned to love and we looked into the possibility of meeting. Sachin didn't have a passport, but I did. After learning that Indian citizens could visit Nepal without a visa, we made the decision to meet there. In an earlier interview, Seema stated, "We first met in March and later got married at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu before returning to our respective countries. My kids stayed at my uncle's house in the interim.

Justice Nazim Akbar, Jewar Civil Judge (Junior Division), who granted bail to Seema, Sachin, and Netrapal, had stated that the case is punishable with imprisonment up to five years; therefore, in light of orders from the Supreme Court and the rules of the Allahabad High Court, the bail application is eligible to be accepted.

“what song are you listening to?” he held the microphone towards you, awaiting your response.

you quickly responded “uhm, last goodbye, by jeff buckley.” and stood there awkwardly, pushing a piece of hair out of your face.

the man quickly thanked you and you walked away, slightly suprised.

- after a couple hours, the video had blown up and the comments were filled with people complimenting you.

pickleluna: jeff buckley girl is so fine

minyonlala: 3rd girl is so bad

Bad Ideas

Simon 'Ghost' Riley X GN!Reader Word count: 2000± Warning: Profanity, ankle injury Summary: Now, you're the one taking him out on a date.

A/N: So, I don't think I would ever write smut and that seems to be what people were expecting by the end of the last one (which is open to your own interpretation), but what I can provide is hopefully some cute shits happening some time after that.

“No,” you sighed. “Now that I’m here, I realise that this is a bad idea, Simon.”

“You took me here, Y/N,” Simon recalled.

“I know, but our opponents are likely teenagers or some weird, gamer guys with noodle arms and you’re a one man army who’s trained to shoot,” you reasoned.

“They have their practice in PUBG, we’re very much even,” Simon said.

It was a good idea at first. Maybe instead of him taking you on another date, you suggested that you should be the one taking him on the date.

For some reason, indoor paintball sounded like another good idea at that time. Which was why you both were here. For paintball.

It had been another few months since your latest, very lovely encounter with Simon. Last time, he spent a night in your flat and you delivered him back to his the next morning. Well, noon. There was a lot of delay.

Later that same day, Simon knocked on your door again and informed you that he was leaving for work, again. That was when you told him that you wanted to be the one taking him on a date instead of him taking you on another date in spite of him insisting that he was the one owing you a date.

Of course, upon his arrival home last night, Simon knocked on your door and you woke up on the same bed by the morning like last time. 

Today, being another Saturday, a few days after his arrival home, you finally executed your plan. It was a good idea after all. At the time. Up until this point. Until you changed your mind a few seconds ago.

“When we’re in the field, you do everything I say, alright? As long as you do that, I’ll keep you alive and I have your back,” Simon said.

“You can literally obliterate them in five seconds,” you pointed out.

“No,” Simon denied. “I’ll only need three seconds.”

Simon made sure that your goggles were secured whilst you looked at him in disbelief.

“This is a bad idea,” you said again.

“This is your idea,” Simon said. “What’s the worst that could happen?”

“I don’t know, like… everything goes awry and you’ll hate me to a point that you’d rather move out of your flat and we’ll never see each other again,” you said.

Simon let out a light chuckle, something you did not remember ever hearing before. There was something serene and satisfying about his laugh and who knew someone’s breathy, hitched, somewhat low voice could be like that.

“No,” Simon said, putting a hand on the side of your face. “The worst that could happen is you spraining your ankle or face planting on the ground. Maybe getting a few bruises. Of course, there are cases where—”

“Okay,” you cut off. “I get it.”

“Good,” Simon nodded.

Fast forward approximately twenty minutes later, you were in the field full of people screaming and yelling and a referee who was laughing their ass off.

Earlier, when Simon heard the other team—that happened to be a team of three and you were stuck going two against three for some reason—being very tactical, he decided that he should do the same though not as loud. He did that on purpose, saying everything in military terms and watched you struggle to understand half the things he was saying.

Simon, being very capable of obliterating your opponent in three seconds, decided that he wanted you to celebrate this… not so bad of an idea for a date. Most of the time, he was fishing the enemies out and had you take the killing shot. Well, until they took you out and Simon literally took out the remaining opponents in three seconds.

As you were about to get out of the field when it happened. The worst. Somehow, in a brief second, you tripped. Simon was ready to catch you, but alas he was too far behind you by inches.

As a result, you fell face forward on the ground.

In any instance, should any fall happen in any place where there was at least another person around, the damage would be more on the mental side than the physical. However, in spite of the embarrassment, the pain you felt on your ankle was felt impeccably.

“You alright, love?” Simon casually asked once he was kneeling next to you, helping you get up to sit at least.

Looking at him, though, you could see his eyes lighting up.

“I—my… Simon, the fucking worst just happened to me,” you replied. “And you think it's funny.”

“I don't," Simon said, but not really convincing you of his denial. "Where does it hurt?”

“My ankle,” you answered.

Simon scooted over to your feet level. Carefully, he put his hand on your ankle, but accidentally pressed too hard on it and triggered a yelp from you.

By then, a few people had passed along and you tried to serve them an awkward smile.

“Alright, you’re not walking on that,” Simon stated.

“What am I—”

“I’ll find something to wrap it up with, you wait here,” Simon proceeded before walking off.

Simon returned fairly soon after that with a roll of bandage. He sat on the level of your foot and looked at you in a questioning manner.

“What am I supposed to do?” you asked.

“Let me take your shoe and sock off and patch you up,” Simon said.

“Okay,” you nodded. “Are you sure?”

“I got my training, love,” Simon said as he started getting to work.

Even in a dire time, the way he addressed you like that still got your stomach churning.

As Simon wrapped your ankle with a bandage, you removed your gear and collected your shoe. Once he was done, Simon looked at you and you could feel his smile teasing you from behind that mask.

“It’ll get better,” Simon said. “Let’s get you home and get lazy."

“Sure,” you sighed, "Nurse Ghost."

Simon helped you to your feet. However, as soon as that happened, he swept you off your feet and carried you up.

“This is unnecessary,” you chuckled. “This is a bad idea.”

“This is you getting nursed,” Simon insisted.

Initially, you planned to take him somewhere else after this, but now that disaster happened, the two of you ended up getting on a cab to get back to your flat.

In the middle of the way, Simon put an arm around your shoulders. There was something about the way he held you that made you feel somewhat secured.

“I’m sorry this turned out disastrous,” you said, still somewhat embarrassed, but also felt quite alright now that Simon was still here.

“You did pretty well, actually,” Simon said. “If you pursue it, you could participate in a sniper competition with Soap in a few years.”

“Soap’s a sniper?” you questioned.

“He didn’t say?” Simon replied.

You shook your head. Simon only looked at you and patted you on the shoulder.

“I was gonna take you for ice cream,” you continued.

“You see the sky’s cloudy, right?” Simon replied.

“Even if it’s raining, I would’ve taken you there. They have hot chocolate,” you smiled. “With marshmallows.”

Simon said nothing, but you felt his smile again. Who knew if he was actually smiling, but it felt like he was. Maybe it was simply the tenderness in his eyes.

“We could have those at home,” Simon said. “Maybe watch something with ice on your ankle.”

“Am I reading this wrong or are you inviting me to cuddle?” you asked.

Not saying anything, Simon looked out the window.

When you both arrived, Simon helped you get out of the car and walked you both into the building. It took sometime, but soon enough you reached your floor.

Once you got off the lift, Simon picked you up and put you on his back like a backpack.

“What are you doing? I walked fine earlier,” you chuckled.

“Putting too much pressure on your injury is not a good idea,” Simon put out an open palm. “Key.”

“No,” you said.

Simon proceeded to walk towards his flat.

“Wow,” you said in disbelief.

Once inside, Simon sat you down on the sofa. He stretched your injured leg and made sure it was comfortable with a stack of cushions underneath it. After that, he hunched down on the backrest to level with your face, sort of peeping on it. He put his chin on his knuckles.

“What flavour ice cream do you want?” Simon asked.

“No,” you chuckled. “It should’ve been me asking you that.”

“I’ll guess, then,” Simon stood up.

Simon only looked at you. It seemed that there were a few thoughts going in his mind.

“What do you need?” Simon asked.

“I mean, you said ice for my ankle,” you answered. “But, I can get that myself, just a few doors away.”

“No,” Simon said. “I’ll get it. What else do you need?”

“The rest of the weekend with you?” you answered.

“Copy,” Simon said. “Give me ten minutes.”

Before he left your flat, he kissed you on the forehead through his mask.

If you were allowed to scream without getting any consequences, it would be really nice. It was probably either screaming or squealing. Maybe both.

He was so lovely and cute. Maybe Simon was too tough to actually admit that he was inviting you to cuddle, but the way he went around it was as admirable.

When Simon returned, he had a bag of ice and quite a number of snacks that he laid on the coffee table. He took the ice and moved next to your leg.

“You might want to get the ice cream first before they melt,” Simon said as he unwrapped the bandage from your foot.

“Simon—”

Simon cut you off by shushing you. He was not even looking at you.

So, you reached to get the ice cream. It was surprising that he got two tubs of your favourite ice cream flavour. 

“You might want to put one of these in your freezer,” you suggested.

“That’s where I put my heart,” Simon said as he was putting the ice on your foot, but before you could comment on his latest statement he said, “It’s not swelling too bad. Should be improving in a few days. Don’t walk on it.”

You handed him one of the two ice cream tubs.

“Thank you,” you said.

“I've done nothing yet,” Simon sighed before walking off for a moment.

Simon returned with two spoons and a mug. He joined you on the sofa, setting up his telly. You scooped half of the ice cream into the mug before presenting the two options to Simon. He took the mug.

By then, you were snuggled against him and whatever film Simon put on was starting.

“Nice way to end the day, don’t you think?” Simon asked.

“It’s 2 pm, Simon,” you said.

Simon lifted his mask to his nose. You looked at him and he delivered a kiss to your lips right away.

“What are we watching?” you asked, resting your temple on his chest.

“Something Soap recommended. He said it’s from a book,” Simon said. “Said something about Nicholas Sparks.”

“Oh, Simon,” you hummed, lightly chuckling. “Do I need to get worried that I might be ruining your relationship with him?”

“Let’s see how this goes and I’ll answer that by the end of this film,” Simon sighed.

Your light chuckle made Simon look at you.

“Maybe this is a bad idea,” Simon stated.

“The paintball was a bad idea, but this is not,” you stated.

“Just so you know, it was not a bad idea,” Simon said. “If the worst didn’t happen, I would’ve proposed for another game.”

A smile bloomed on your face.

Before actually investing in the film while eating ice cream, Simon kissed you on the temple.

Would it be a good idea to spend the rest of the weekend like this? Simon definitely did think so. Besides, it was his birthday weekend, he should treat himself a little.

However, of course, you had no idea that today was his birthday. Simon was tempted on telling you, but he did not care if you knew or not. He felt celebrated and that was enough for him.

PUBG Hacks

PUBG hacks have become a controversial yet captivating topic within the gaming community, as players endlessly seek that elusive edge in battle royale scenarios. Beyond mere invincibility or aim assistance, today's hacks can range from enhancing situational awareness to offering real-time map insights that fundamentally shift the dynamics of gameplay. For many players, these tools evoke a sense of excitement and empowerment—an adrenaline rush akin to using secret weapons in a cinematic experience.

However, the emotional landscape surrounding PUBG hacks is complex. While some gamers embrace these methods to ensure thrilling victories or simply for the sheer enjoyment of experimentation, others argue that it diminishes the essence of competition and camaraderie inherent in gaming. As players weigh their choices between ethical play and personal advantage, discussions emerge about skill development versus reliance on shortcuts—a fascinating dichotomy that continues to fuel debates within forums and social media platforms alike. Ultimately, navigating this gray area demands not just an understanding of game mechanics but also an introspective look at one's values as a gamer.

Debunking the Palworld plagiarism claims

One of the biggest sources of drama since the release of Palworld has been the repeated accusations of plagiarism made by Pokemon fans. Now I'm not going to argue that Palworlds designs are 100% original. That's not the point of my post. Rather my argument is an objection to the unspoken assumption made by Pokemon fans that Pokemon and it's creature designs are so unique that any resemblance between a Pokemon character and a Palworld character is proof that Palworld "stole" from Pokemon.

When people point out the fact that all art is derivative to some degree. Pokemon fans will object with the profoundly idiotic "Blue Pikachu argument."

The Blue Pikachu argument is the idiotic idea that anything that isn't 100% original is a 100% copy paste with no middle ground. It's a false dichotomy made by people with zero understanding of nuance and who just want to make a lazy gotcha.

The reality is, art is not a purely individualistic act. All artists either consciously or unconsciously iterate on preexisting art. In fact many past artists that are celebrated as great artists today would be considered plagiarists by modern standards. For example Shakespeare's plays take heavily from from other artists of that era.

More importantly modern copyright laws were not created in order to ensure every artist is 100% original. Nor does copyright protect ideas or concepts.

source

Despite this I have scene Pokemon fans vilify the PocketPair CEO because he said that he takes ideas from other sources. Which is completely legal and not remotely unethical.

Statements like this indicate to me a person that is very uninformed about art and video games in particular. Tons of games are "copied" from previous games. Minecraft was copied from Infiniminer. Fortnite was copied from Pubg. Pokemon like every other video game has taken ideas from other games. Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest V both had monster collecting and taming before Pokemon even existed.

So now we have to ask ourselves how "original" are any Pokemon designs. And the truth is many Pokemon designs are literally just animals with elemental themed colors slapped on them

Poliwag is literally just a glass frog tadpole colored blue.

And Caterpie is a caterpillar colored a slightly different shade of green.

Now some of the animals Pokemon uses for inspiration are obscure enough that people might not realize when Pokemon is just taking animals and recoloring them.

But then you have Lycanroc which is based on a animal so commonly known you can't help but notice it's just a ordinary wolf with some spikes slapped on it inorder to make it rock type.

Lycanroc and Direhowl are just wolves with mild cartoon exaggeration. Sorry but Pokemon can't copyright wolves.

And this isn't the only example of a Pokemon and a Pal looking similar because Pokemon just recolored a real animal.

Next we have Shaymin and Jolthog

People that say Jolthog is a copy of Shaymin are basically just admitting they have never seen a real hedgehog before.

Then there are the people that say that pengullet and piplup look alike because they are both blue.

When that's just because they are both based on blue fairy penguins.

The reality is many Pokemon designs are just real life animals with tweaks to make them more cartoonish and magical looking.

Of course not every Pokemon design is a slightly tweaked animal. A lot of them are also "rip offs" of kaiju.

Of course some people are going to defend Pokemon "blatantly ripping off" character designs from other franchises by saying. "But they did it in their own way, it's not an exact copy". When that is the same thing being said by fans of Palworld. In other words"

"When I like it that's "inspiration". When I don't like it, that's "theft."

NaClYoHo 2023, Day 1 (for me)

So for reasons I will get to shortly, I'm starting my NaClYoHo a few days early. Today I'm scrubbing the tub.

I wish I had the Bissel steam cleaner @copperbadge recommended, but Home Depot doesn't carry it and there's no way otherwise I'd get it in hand by today, which is when I'd need it.

So instead I climbed in with an old toothbrush, a bottle of CLR, and a podcast app. I got about 2/3 of the way done before I had to pause to take 7yo to math class. In that time, I listened to (at 1.5 speed): the second half of a Behind the Bastards about Ted Cruz; a Gotta Be Done about the Bluey episode Sleepover; and a Deep in Bear Country about the book The Berenstain Bears and the Sitter.

When I get home (currently chilling at the poke place with my passionfruit green tea with lychee jellies), I'll finish the tub and wash the curtains and liner. Queued up: The Muppets: The Sitcom: The Podcast about the episode Too Hot to Handler, followed by a The Alarmist about the Waco Seige.

So my NaClYoHo is always a little weird. Traditionally I only do tasks on days my kids are in school, although it's not unusual for me to get one or two weekend projects done (like today) when Husband either helps or gets the kids put of my hair (and often, again like today, explicitly asks me to do said tasks).

Another thing that happens most years is that I end up temping, so my in-laws come over to watch the kids. This is the first year both kids have been in school, which should make things interesting.

Likely tonight, while I'm playing D&D, Husband will do a layer of cleaning in between rounds of PUBG, so that tomorrow, between work tasks*, I can do last-minute stuff like clean the toilets, load and run the dishwasher, or wipe up the inevitable sticky spots 7yo will leave from breakfast. Once that's done I'll have freedom to do some NaClYoHo Tasks like filing and clearing out my email inbox. I'll keep you posted.

*As to that, my temp job is always subbing for the same person. She only takes vacation during quiet times, so I'm really more on call than anything. I have to jump as soon as a task is sent to me, but there have been days where... no tasks are sent to me.

I'm not normally one of those "boy I hope somebody got fired for that blunder" but the new Fortnite locker menu is maybe the worst UI I've experienced in ten years.

The way it used to work: you'd build a loadout of your Fortnite skin. This meant picking a character outfit, a backbling, pickaxe, glider, and skydiving trail. You would also pick a wrap for all of your guns, associated emotes, music, loading screens, and banner icons. You would then save all of these to a slot in your "locker" and Epic would even sell locker presets in the shop from famous streamers and the like.

So for example, here's my "Gorgon Freeman" locker preset as of two days ago, featuring the Demogorgon from Stranger Things:

Everything all in one place. Simple to understand! You had 100 locker presets for Battle Royale mode, and another, separate 100 locker presets for the Tower Defense Save the World campaign mode.

What you see at the top of this post is the new system they've introduced for Chapter 5, launching today. Which is that they have now broken Outfit (backbling, pickaxe, glider, and skydiving trail), Wraps, Emotes, and Lobby settings (music, loading screens, and banner icons) out into their own, separate lockers.

So if I were to load the "Gorgon Freeman" character locker, I would not get his emotes, wraps, or lobby settings. I have to load those all separately from each other. All those settings are still here, mind you. I have locker presets named "Gorgon Freeman" in all of those individual categories now, because they automatically converted my old lockers to the new separated system.

But for the sake of argument, let's say the "Gorgon Freeman" preset is like, near the bottom of the preset list. It's like slot 75 out of 100. So I have to scroll down 75 slots in the character list (+75), scroll another 75 slots down in the emotes list (+150), scroll another 75 slots down in the wraps list (+225), and scroll another 75 slots down in the lobby list (+300) just to get this guy fully loaded the way it used to work 48 hours ago with a single slot for everything.

It doesn't stop there. Epic also combined all the locker presets from Save the World and Battle Royale, so technically there's 200 locker slots now for the entire game, which is good, but there's no fast and easy way for me to go in and delete all the duplicate lockers I mirrored between BR and STW. So I have lots and lots of useless cruft.

If you consider that technically Outfits, Emotes, Wraps and Lobby are their own separate lockers now, plus instruments (for the new Rock Band mode), "Jam Tracks" (songs for Rock Band), cars (for the new racing mode), there's something like 1100 locker slots, 800 of which are accessible from the core Fortnite experience. Confused yet?

The menus for creating a new locker preset are also just generally awful. None of the menus feel like they were built with speed in mind. In the old Fortnite, there were tons of shortcut buttons to make everything fast and easy. There are zero shortcut buttons in the new locker menu, meaning lots of slow, tedious, manual scrolling through menus and options and sub-options.

It either feels like an unfinished beta or like it was designed by a person who has absolutely no sense or care for making this fast and easy to use. I'm hoping the former, because I can't believe somebody thinks this is comfortably usable. Setting up cosmetics in this game now feels like trudging through mud.

I'm also suuuuper not on board with this chapter, but maybe that's another post. They made everything a lot slower and heavier and more complicated. It feels like it's way more deliberately trying to bite PUBG (or I guess Warzone)'s style now.

They may as well have put a completely different game out today and are still trying to call it Fortnite.

Film Friday: The Legacy of Battle Royale

Today, I want to air out an idea that has been rolling around in my head a bit, and it's not a straight film rec (or furious evisceration) but I figure it'd do in this "slot," as the starting point in this whole line of thinking starts with an obscure film that I rather like, although it ends somewhere decidedly less tidy. Today, let's talk of what became of (the) Battle Royale.

For the uninitiated Battle Royale started its lifespan in the public eye as a somewhat controversial Japanese horror/thriller novel. The novel depicts a dystopian near-future Japan where the solution to youth rebellion, truancy, crime, and altogether bad attitude is picking out a random class to go through a death game where they have to kill or be killed by their classmates. Technically, the term is older than the book, as the author was inspired by the wrestling term for large, no-holds-barred wrestling matches, but it's safe to say as the term as a short-hand for all-out violence has probably survived its wrestling origins. The book itself is cynical and heavy on the satire, taking great lengths to parody the Japanese "compulsory optimism" attitude prevalent in the era, which somewhat tinges the bleak proceedings with absurd black humor.

The 2000 movie version further expanded on this theme of contrasting the bleak meaninglessness of the concept with the absurd "Ganbatte!"-style optimism, in addition to attracting western viewers with a postmodern Tarantino-inspired touch to the ol' ultraviolence and showcasing yet another strong turn by Takeshi "Beat" Kitano and at least one future Quentin Tarantino collaborator in Chiaki Kuriyama. This flick drew Western attention to the Japanese style of violent cinema, thus giving Takaishi Miike steady work and Quentin Tarantino a quarter-chub at east. In addition to inspiring swathes of "Death Game" style stories in Japenese media in the coming years, a genre that admittedly lost steam once the novelty and shock value of game-ified murder wore off, albeit the odd resurgence with a gimmick, most recently the South Korean Squid Games is not unheard of. Still, Battle Royale's biggest cultural impact would not be known for many years.

Apart from the observation that teenagers are impulsive and have the potential to do violence if given a chance, Battle Royale's most ingenious mechanic is no doubt the bomb collars, an anti-stalling tactic that would prevent the students that weren't one MCR song away from going on a spree from barricading up and waiting it all out. The area of the battle royale "game" would periodically shrink, and the students would, lest they be decapitated by explosives, be corralled into an ever-shrinking area, making violence all but assured at an expedient pace. This, it turns out, is not only good for making your student violence machine produce student violence, it's also strong game design, and this is where the penultimate link in our chain of inspiration comes in.

Players Unknown's Battlegrounds, or PUBG , for short, jumped on this bit of good game design from the dystopian government playbook and expanded it into a series of mods as well as a standalone game. The Battlegrounds game design maintains some of the Battle Royale understanding of violence, in that the ever-contracting circle seeks to force the player into violence, making the whole thing brutish, unforgiving, and short. This approach probably limited the reach of PUBG some, and made it more a game culture curiosity than the protoplasmic juggernaut of media that took the torch and ran all the way past any point of satire.

Fortnite started its life as a co-op multiplayer game with base-building elements where the primary concern was to stop the zombies that now were everywhere from eating everyone. The game has since shown remarkable flexibility in game design, swapping out gameplay functionality Ship of Theseus-style until the removal of building in the main mood of the now pvp Battle Royale-style third-person shooter slash engagement-driven content platform.

Now, that last bit sounds a bit like me snarking I will admit, but I do have a point here, stay with me. While the gameplay of Fortnite certainly is still a sped-up more fun take on the PUBG formula, it would be missing the forest for the trees to describe it as a mere third-person shooting game. Fortnite is a platform, a delivery vehicle for expressive content in the form of digital avatars and animations. Just about every major media franchise has had a collab with Fortnite at this point, the debut of a pivotal plot point in the latest Star Wars movie took place on the platform as part of a cross-promotional tie-in, which sounds like something that should be a joke but it is not. Whatever else you can say about the thing, there is some strong multimedia brand management going on here, and whether such a Ready Player One-ass digital platform of unlimited brand recognition works is a good or at least Mostly Harmless thing or yet another symptom of a metatext-obsessed media-as-consumable-good cultural landscape slowly milling every aspect of the human soul and mutual recognition of the human spark inherent in creation that can be excised from the aether into hotdog filling "assholes and eyelids"-style, remains to be seen, and surely discussed.

Anyway, my point here is that of the many things Fortnite has assimilated, is the ever-shrinking safe zone, making for a dynamic an fast-paced action experience. There's something deeply ironic in that, in that the same thing that represents the inevitability of brutal state-enforced violence also represents the defining borders of the play area where you'll get a #1 Victory Royale and do The Carlton over the bodies (slash killcams) of your vanquished foes. There's a slight incongruity there I suppose, but there is some grim resonance between the "all smiles over instructions of how you'll be murdering or be murdered by your classmates" and "easy breezy gun violence as Hello Kitty murders Boba Fett" if you were to frame it like that.

Now, I don't mean to say Battle Royale predicted Fortnite any more than 1984 predicted whatever conservative pundits claim George Orwell predicted this time. Dystopias like Battle Royale don't predict the future other than incidentally. They comment on the present. It doesn't claim that in the future the Japanese Government will sanction youth murder games, it says that the things the Japanese Government is doing to the youth is, in some way violent and overly cruel. Battle Royale, I would argue, has much to say on the cresting population wave and the unsustainable pressures it puts on the youth generation and the inherent hopelessness of the future in such a situation. The real-world Japanese government has perhaps not forced the youth to participate in blood sport, but less social mobility, later retirement, lifted restrictions on child work, austerity, and general corrupt political fuckery sure does fuck over the younger generation pretty well without bomb collars being involved even a little bit.

So where does this all leave my point? I'm not sure I have one other than tracing the idea of "Battle Royale" as a genre centered around violence in a constricting playfield and how the meaning of it has changed. While I kind of want some subversive black comedy property to give the concept a whack again, it's probably just too solidly claimed by Fortnite to ever be anything other than a commentary on that game in particular. This isn't to say you can't make a salient commentary on one of the biggest media properties in the world, in fact, I'd love for someone more incisive than me to take a swing at it, but the symbolism here is probably out of the General Use bucket for now.

Tsai Tuesday #9

Hell yeah, we’ve done none of these already?!

Welcome to Tsai Tuesday, the best day of the week! It’s my self-appointed sacred duty to bring icon and diva Jolin Tsai to the English-speaking masses. She’s the love of my life truly, I don’t know what else to say.

Today’s song is actually a little different: it’s a collab she did in 2021 with R3HAB but it’s a TRUE bop and this one’s actually in English! Here’s “Stars Align”!

Apparently this was the theme song for the third anniversary of PUBG Mobile?? Anyways she looks soooo good in this video.

Games... #1

In the video game world, there are games that get the most attention to the public and some games sold 6 million, 10 million or 20 million copies to the public. But there are games that get less attention to the public eye.

Not Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, The Witcher 3, etc.

I'm referring to Palworld and Helldivers 2 in this year.

Welp, both games are getting the hype today.

I like those two games. And I won't do a review them.

Okay, okay. This post was clickbait, but scroll down the page.

I've seen people were playing Titanfall 2 to this day and how the game wasn't popular back then. I wouldn't mind if that game was popular, while the amount of shooter games was oversaturated back in 2016 and 2017. Many people had noticed and played Overwatch, COD Infinite Warfare, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, Destiny and Battlefield 1.

Despite Titanfall 2 sold not big numbers of copies back in 2016, I still love Titanfall 2, but it's not for everyone.

Do you know what underrated game I used to like in 2010, but don't want to play it anymore today?

Amnesia The Dark Descent

--

Here's another example. Back in 2005, gamers and me got to play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Resident Evil 4, Burnout Revenge, Need for Speed Most Wanted or God of War on PS2.

But not Psychonauts, until gamers have noticed that underrated game years later.

I'm sure that not every game was made for you. If you bought a game on Steam and you didn't like it for the first 1 hour, you could refund it.

It's easier said than done, but if you're on PC, you can pirate a single-player game and see if that's your vibe. You can't do that on consoles, unless you find a way to download softwares to play an older game.

Can you enjoy the game, even though it's not your vibe or thing?

I could say yes. I played Skyrim in early 2012 and I liked it. I'm biased towards science fiction, but I appreciate any game that's fantasy.

I had a nice affair with a male Argonian in my journey of the game.

I don't know if Helldivers 2 would be the GOTY in 2024, I don't have big expectations of it.

Despite how good and fun Helldivers 2 is, though the campaign is non-existent

nor Palworld…

Just enjoy either of those two games, while the servers are still running live.
