Posted on January 24, 2024 by Aki Vainio
Reply

If you haven’t heard, Condé Nast decided that in order to protect the band of Pitchfork (paraphrasing them), it has been folded into the organization of GQ. Shouldn’t someone actually look into what they own before making such decisions?

What Do I Want from Borderlands 4 on Day 1?

Posted on January 20, 2024 by Aki Vainio
Reply

So, for some reason, I’ve been getting recommendations for videos on YouTube regarding what people want to see in BL4 at launch. This is a bit weird, because there has not been an announcement of BL4 yet. Many, myself included, assume or think that it might come out around the same time as the movie later this year, but we don’t really know.

There’s a 90 minute video essay by CJ The X called Subjectivity In Art. At one point they have a discussion with Fantano (a well-known music YouTuber) on what is taste anyway. There’s a point there I found interesting.

Why Aren’t We More Like Wednesday?

I had plans for today, but I got a cramp in my leg despite imbibing plenty of liquids, so I returned to the AirBnB to nurse it, which lead to me writing this, because I wasn’t able to walk very much. Therefore, here I am, lying in bed, writing this. And don’t worry, the cramp does have a very strained connection to what I’m writing about here.

Wow, This Blog Is Now 10 Years Old

The Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post 3: 10 LGBTQ+ Musicians

Posted on June 18, 2023 by Aki Vainio

The Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post, pt. 2: Sexuality in Borderlands

Posted on June 13, 2023 by Aki Vainio
Reply

While the movie is still under post-production having been shot last year, and weirdly does not have a release date, I don’t think it will be as explicitly queer as the games. Oh boy, are they liberated in this sense.
