Unpacking is very cute and I admire the type of narrative it's able to pull off just through the gameplay of moving into spaces. the intimacy of everyday objects, still life, environmental storytelling, etc etc etc
But i have Got to talk about 2010. Unpacking is a game where all you do is take stuff out of boxes and find spaces for it, and for the most part it gives you quite a lot of freedom about where you can put stuff. There are some rules - most things cant go on the floor, stuff generally has to be in the right room, the soap has to be near the sink, etc etc, but apart from that there's no wrong place to put things.
Moving into this fucking guy's house in 2010 felt like putting everything in the wrong place. It felt like I wasn't supposed to be there, a square peg into a round hole. His entire house is pristine when I get there, everything organised perfectly, evenly spaced, colour-matched, sterile. Throughout the level I'm shoving everything around on his bookcase to fit my hoard of knickknacks, putting my red plastic colander in the cupboard above his cool green matching set of plates and bowls, my bright purple toothbrush cup, hairbrush, and straightening iron clutter his pristine bathroom counter. My family of stuffed chickens is made to look silly next to his fancy mixology set and miniature sand garden.
I end up putting my laptop and drawing tablet out on the kitchen island because there isn't a desk anywhere I can use. My markers and hoard of sketchbooks are crammed into my bedside table. I'm not allowed to move his posters in the living room, so my university certificate goes under the bed.
I won't pretend that I, playing Unpacking in 2023, didn't know how the game ended. I knew already that the protagonist would move on from this guy, but even if I didn't, I would have been able to tell. It was not fun moving into his house, it was not easy or charming to meld our lives together, I did not feel welcome there. Moving in with him felt like a transgression, an imposition. Moving in with him felt like a wrong decision in a game where I couldn't really make wrong decisions.
An incredible magic trick of game design, in my opinion.
#also something about how pristine this guys house was#but like. the CDs in his CD rack were all in there at random#and his fucking underwear was scattered randomly throughout 2 drawers#just gave me rancid vibes. this man cares so much about the Facade. the Presentation.#and as a result his house has the character and charm of a fluorescent tube light#anyway. good game#unpacking#unpacking game

RE: cultural appropriation primarily being about an economic state of affairs where white people make money off of other people, a related idea I've been contemplating but haven't been able to like. Finish writing about is the idea of cultural decontextualization, which is when a cultural majority (often but not always white people) engage with another culture in a manner that erases- and may simultaneously replicate- racist histories, and is more about creating false narratives than economics.
A personal example would be white people making clothes based off of Coptic Egyptian artifacts, especially while generically referring to them as "Roman" or arguing Coptic art does not exist, which denies Copts part of Coptic history while resurrecting the French Coptomania of the 1920s, and specifically Albert Gayet's actions of taking items from Coptic graves to the point where a model was dressed in a tunic and shown off (which is also terrible from an artifact preservation perspective- this tunic would've been at minimum, 1300 years old at the time).
#cipher talk#Other examples are a lot of shit historical customers do#Like the Cathy Hay peacock dress debacle. Given that an Indian embroiderer faced heavy harassment it counts on both fronts#A lot of what Fr*da K*hlo did to my understanding also counts- both for CA and CD#Just going off what I've read from LatAm (for lack of a better word) Indigenous people have to say about her#There is also sometimes an economic element here#Like plenty of these replicas are sold#Plus it results in bad history#The Persian riding coats found in late Antiquity Egypt cannot be taken as 'typical Roman soldiers kit'#They're representative of a specific relationship Coptic Egypt had to Persia in late Antiquity#But I see drawings featured in academic sources misrepresenting this but shoeing a white Roman soldier in one at least a century before the#Evidence we have for them existing in Egypt#And plenty of white re-enactors claiming these are examples of fibulatron#They are not!!!

I recently got an Mp3 and I downloaded my spotify playlist (and got a few viruses in the process (whoops)) and it's really getting me back into making little mixes and burning them onto CDs like I used to pre-smartphone. Honestly? 10/10 recommend.
#simon says#i am excited to learn how to drive soon so I can get a car and fuckn uhhhh make CDs for my hypothetical CD player#honestly I'm just excited about the idea of having a car in general and how I would decorate it#like I wanna get a million stupid bumper stickers and put them on the back of the car#I'd probably make my own cupholder coasters or get pretty ceramic ones#i wanna have some felt critters of some sort dangling from my mirror (preferably bugs but I'll take any funny felt creature)#and of course#I wanna have a little CD binder covered in stickers that has my weird little CD mixes in it#anyways I just wanted to gush about how fun not paying for spotify premium is and how im having fun with music and physical media again#and remember kids#use R/piracy for your downloading needs and DONT just google spotify downloader and pick one of the results#anyways shout out to Window's Defender for being an actually decent antivirus#and shoutout to whoever named the virus they tricked me into downloading 'trojan_123' like it sure is buddy

I'm not saying that all new media is evil, I'm just saying that technology peaked with the MP3 players before they made them connect to wifi or bluetooth
#1) music good#2) music on the go is fantastic#3) music on the go that doesn't skip at the slightest movement?? chef's kiss#4) music on the go that doesn't skip at the slightest movement AND you don't have to carry around a bag of tapes and CDs? omg yes!#5) all of the above AND you actually OWN the music? catch me I'm swooning!#(i was going to say i was doing more vulgar but I'll leave it at swooning)#and then there's streaming. bad boo 👎 hiss#ily physical media#i mean yeah MP3s are files not actually physical but the result is the same#oh my God will someone please shut this bitch up about the SanDisk Clip Jam??#i love my little mp3 player#now if only i could make the audiobook function actually functional

that vinyl poll is fascinating to me; as someone who has been collecting records since the age of nine i am well aware that i happen to have a larger than average collection but i didn’t realize by how much (seventy just seemed like a low threshold for the highest poll option but then again having over 550+ vinyl records is. how shall we put it. admittedly unusual)
#(i wonder if the results of the CD poll are comparable; i definitely don’t own many CDs anymore—maybe fifty to seventy total?—but if i#started seriously collecting CDs over fifteen years ago rather than vinyl it might have been a different story)#anyways talk to me about vinyl literally any time i loooooooooove talking about my records :)

you know actually i think we as a society should talk about silvers future. is it even bad still. if so why is it always depicted as being on fire.
#i KNOW why it is. our only look into his future was in 2006#but that was a result of iblis#since that got erased from the timeline and it’s now heavily implied#that silvers future is often ruined by Eggman specifically (or nega)#then i imagine the future would look more like the bad futures of sonic cd#anyway#sega official speaks

I am now thinking so much about dynamic changes that could happen now. Pre-Megatron but Megatron having to deal with the aftermath when he gets on about the rogue mnemosurgeon in the locked medbay room. Which makes me think that setup ends differently with Drift returning more quickly (Pre-Megatron?).
So this is their last journey before they arrive for Dark Cybertron that builds in the background only to explode post-Tyrest with the Lost Light Ratchet leading going after Drift because Ratchet ran off. The Tyrest Incident accelerates it and leads to more explosions of tension.
Maybe even a cryptic comment from Pharma about Ratchet not noticing what had been done to him.
Other contenders for change:
Sunstreaker having nightmares and having memories of his brother, Ironhide, and Bob get fuzzy and is convinced someone broke into his berthroom. Something proven when Bob gets a chunk of the mech and becomes growling and protective and Sunstreaker does NOT take kindly to someone else messing with his brain after what has happened to him. He is extra furious because the image of what happened is blurred, and like in TCaTC, Chromedome isn't using traditional entry points. He is an early proponent of the cospiracy that something is happening.
Rodimus is only attacked once and has nightmares of Nyon, and reacts instinctively and burns Chromedome. It leads him to being in a bit of a negative loop.
Rung is atrempted, and it knocks memories loose instead, and now he is dreaming about four siblings and is strangely standing out.
Ambulon, interestingly, doesn't remember Pharma, who wasn't close to him but promoted and treated him mostly fairly and until the rather ridiculous last hour frame attempt was his best boss who recognized his skills and reacted accordingly. This ironically saves his life and leads to Pharma inspecting them and laughing because Ratchet didnt notice. He is a little gleeful as he sees this as proof. First Aid doesn't kill him so Pharma is in the brig and it takes everyone a long time to approach him and find out Pharma has mostly reverted to a newbuild because Ratchet was such an important part of his life the only memories left were Tarn and suffering so he only has vague memories of being born, learning, some of Delphi which are again fractured and unclear more a vague idea of patients and surgeries and knowing who Ambulon/First Aid is, and a boogeyman of Tarn and his voice and now being "safe" on the Lost Light. He doesn't remember the Red Rust because Ratchet was too tied to the resolution so itvwas deleted in an attempted defrag
Pharma basically thinks his life is birth -> training -> assignment to Delphi which conflats his early residency and Delphi memories so he doesn't know he was in charge and has concluded Ambulon was -> The DJD attacking (?) -> Tarn = Suffering -> a disease (?) -> being "rescued" (mixes Tyrest and his arrest) -> staying in the brig and a sharp pain
He assumes he is isolated due to a disease quarantine and is generally calm and friendly and eager to impress. His brain may have suppressed/deleted a bit more than intended defensively.
Exactlyyyy (does this mean Optimus doesn't drag a mnemosurgeon to somewhat threaten Megatron into fessing up memories "for evidence", or does this mean he drags in someone else?)
I feel like just the idea of having a rogue mnemosurgeon on the ship definitely freaks Megs out, especially considering how confined to the ship he is and how strict the conditions of his time there are. Honestly I'm surprised we don't get MORE angst regarding Megatron and Chromedome doing his mnemosurgery thing, PTSD is a bitch like that.
Ohhoh yes just imagine him stepping on the LL and one of the first people he meets is Deadlock Drift.
Yessss yess this is a far more extended process than the other Events, and Pharma totally gets to call that out (probably because those two probably did have good memories at some point, and well we know what happens to good memories here. But also because the personality changes)
Tyrest typically tends to not help situations yeeaaahhhh
Plus like in The Cop And The Cryptid, not using the traditional entry points has a chance of ~effects~ on the doctor as well as the victim patient.
dAMN RODDIE W, okay that makes perfect sense considering Rodimus's outlier ability and based on what I know of Rodimus... He's already hiding so much heavy shit under a smile and perky attitude.
Interesting result there on Rung, as Chromedome's attempt to shadowplay him actually leads to him remembering more rather than less (though from what I remember of Rung these new vague memories are liable to start fucking with him.)
Oh wow yes that's interesting because it also demonstrates how different Pharma was before shit started going sideways regarding the deal with Tarn and the t-cogs from only the thoroughly damned weren't enough. Super fucking interesting how this changes how Ratty, Aid, and Ambi INTERACT with Pharma and how their side of the Tyrest incident is affected.
So Pharma is basically starting from scratch, hmm. Took all of them but one person a long time to approach him, it seems. Chromedome's attacks are messy, and it's really showing with Pharma. He's rather confused, and I think this says a lot about what the situation on Delphi was like pre Red Rust too as again that was merely the straw that broke the camel's back as the noose that was his deal with Tarn grew tighter. And the fact that because he's missing some of the pieces so he's attaching the ones he does have to the wrong places? Yes. Exactly.
This is why shadowplay scares me so much. This had to have been such a left turn for the rest of the LL crew as far as Pharma is concerned and there will be so many consequences.
#maccadam#transformers#whole lot of guys#but especially#mtmte chromedome#Chromedome is moving damn fast#i can imagine megatron being more paranoid in the beginning of his stay in this timeline because the rogue mnemosurgeon thing#because even though CD is locked in the medbay Megs is seeing the results of shadowplay right in front of him and better safe than sorry#and like we know Megatron's attempted shadowplay still affected him neurologically even if it didn't wipe all of the intended memories#that's another thing i think about is the physical neurological effects of mnemosurgery like we see in TCaTC#it's fucked uppppp#lose all your senses au

Me, a person with consistent personality test results that I don't have much faith in, on a normal day: Introversion vs. extroversion as an operative classification is a sham, some people find being alone more comfortable and some find human interaction restorative, it doesn't track well with other supposedly correlated factors and I don't trust people who put faith in it as a management strategy
Me, an extreme introvert who would literally rather suffer physical pain than conversational silence but only understands how to relate to people outside their inner circle by Performing Human, after two days of work parties: if anyone says a single unsolicited word to me I will hiss like a possum and run into the woods, never to be seen again
#my problem has never been that MY results didn't come back right#I'm a DiSC CD INTJ Virgo#it prints out a piece of paper that says 'you have to tell us if you're a serial killer or it's entrapment'#I feel like I blacked out and then woke back up at my apartment#having no idea what I've done#I tried to explain to my coworker that I'm good at the kind of work I do#because it's a bunch of fuckin nerds who never leave their desks#but then are suddenly given permission to get together with other people doing the same very niche thing#and all immediately go GIRL have you HEARD

uquiz that's like "what are you using to run away" and the results are "horse" "motorcycle" "busted ass pickup truck" "old car" "bike" and "only what you can carry on your back"
#and then it drags you to hell and back with the results#i would make it but i have no clue what the questions would be and words are hard#one of the questions would be ''what are you using to play music'' and the answers are#cd official album / cd mixtape / cassette / ipod/mp3 / bluetooth / nothing / just singing
