I'm sorry that I've not been streaming the last few days.
Work has been insane and awful and I am so exhausted when I get home that I want to die and cry.
I'll be back soon
Hey, it turns out that, despite my absence, I'm not dead. So join me for some more Dragon Age 2

Shout-out to the time I told my boss that I would close the department three hours early and go home if he kept trying to make me run it by myself
Alright, I am back home. I have internet again. Let's see how things went

Join me for fun and failure

Scrolling reddit and this bullshit showed up in my feed.
If I had a penny for every time I saw a true crime fan act like these real events, real actual tragedies, are just some fun little story....I'd be one of the richest fuckers in the world.
I don't know if there's an actual term for this. An actual term for when people become incapable of processing reality as anything other than media to be consumed. The only thing I can think to call it is media poisoning.
JonBenet Ramsey isn't a real person anymore, her family aren't real people, the victims of Oakland County aren't real people and neither are their families. They're just characters. What happened to them isn't real, the tragedy, the pain, the death, the soul-shattering grief....it's not real, it's just a story.
If they were real, you couldn't make posts like that. You couldn't have a podcast called My Favorite Murder. You couldn't have people dressing themselves or their kids up as serial killers for Halloween. You couldn't have a wildly successful youtube series casually discussing murders while putting on makeup or doing mukbangs.
So they can't be real. They have to be media that you consume. And that's all they get to be. A product.
What is your favorite Jojo chapter, and why is it Diamond is Unbreakable?
