samus leaving a metroid prime wii save file like 🤯

remember in metroid prime wii how they had planets which look like miis

these are strong opinions but i don’t feel like they should be difficult to accommodate

first it was “romance literature can have some good qualities”, then it was “you don’t have to limit the perspective of your writing if you don’t want to”, then it was “here is what queer theory has to say about grief and mourning”

today it is “pretentious writing advice is bad and people should just explain in clear language when things are useful and when they aren’t”

why do i share my opinions on the internet

@aescling for a potentially quite loose definition of “meaning”, “embedded in”, and “text”

@aescling “attempting to uncover the meanings embedded in a text” is i think the conventional definition

@witchfynder_finder nintendo is just trying to retcon the fact that samus owns clothes other than the zero suit

« most people in the U.S. focus on Columbus as an explorer, not as an Italian »

@aescling i would say that the purpose of (critical) theory is to build a (critical) framework for analysing things (that one can do criticism to)

@witchfynder_finder the one thing “tho” has against it is that, while quite common, there is also “although”, which is rarely shortened, and the two would probably have to happen at the same time

@aescling typically with little-to-no understanding of what the purpose of it actually is
