Review | ‘Silent Hill f’ is social horror that works. A therapist explains why. “Silent Hill f,” examining the social pressures on a girl in 1960s Japan, is one of the psychological horror series’ most confident and resonant installments.

For my Silent Hill f review, I interview a therapist. She beat the game twice.

We talk about how this masterpiece is about the horror of navigating the self, and the shedding and rebuilding of the self until you no longer recognize who remains.

[imagine I wrote an article about the cultural politics of Heisei retro]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEDA...

i think we're in a position now where the vast majority of people are flat-out hostile to criticism. I've even seen other critics -people you would think would be resistant to this - become very nasty when something they like is criticised, because it's their identity too. none of us are immune.

Our identities have been forcibly tied to the products we consume in such a way that the people manufacturing them has successfully convinced pretty much everyone that criticism is an attack on the product, which is by extension an attack on you, and therefore critics exist only to hurt you

On the criticism debate, it's literally the reason I don't write anymore, at least not in public. I still do it in private, because I need a support to remember things, but I don't think there's any point in doing it in public in such an adverse environment.

Ahhh, but it's tomorrow already! Join if you want to see the 2.0 redebut (that I planned for my birthday!), and talk about what we'll do in the future! There might be a little bit of piano too, if I feel like it!

And as a little preview!

(Je crois qu’il vaut mieux pas qu’elle s’essaye à ne serait-ce que l’ombre d’un commentaire à vrai dire ; j’suis pas prêt à encaisser calmement le fake ouin ouin d’une institution complice d’un énième meurtre homophobe.)

On FataMoru through the lens of Umineko (SPOILERS for those who haven't read it):

My big problem is that the opening of the catbox and the search for truth is set up as the puzzle challenge in a shin honkaku story. The point is to subvert that expectation, like Christie in And Then There Were None.

Et bah, c'était vraiment nul.

not even getting into 'obviously the franchise should pivot away from shit that clearly isn't fucking working' the genre you're in changes how money must be spent which changes how the story has to be structured and presented. You cannot seperate these two ideas

what if I told you

and try to follow along here champ

that these two things are intrinsically related

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Satoko & Nada. Couverture française du volume 1.

Akata vient de sortir le premier tome de Satoko & Nada, la série de Yupechika à propos de deux étudiantes, saoudienne et japonaise, aux États-Unis, qui découvrent leur culture respective. C'est doux et innocent, dans la pure tradition du yonkoma.

At last - this is what it truly feels like to win the culture war...

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay.

According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.

The Not So Hidden Israeli Politics of 'The Last of Us Part II' 'The Last of Us Part II' presents what at first seems like an evenhanded point of view, but perpetuates the very cycles of violence it's supposedly so troubled by.

It's how we end up with TV shows based in this

Couverture française de Fragments d'espoir (Nanohana) de Moto Hagio, aux éditions Akata.

Fragments d'espoir, ou Nanohana, de Moto Hagio est un chouette recueil. Contexte de publication faisant, ça part dans toutes les directions avec un aspect référentiel très pointé, mais je trouve toujours que ça marche.

J'y reviendrai en détail un peu plus tard, mais quelques remarques.

This is the only thing that matters right now. If India is attacking within Pakistan itself (and not just Pakistani-controlled Kashmir) this is completely unprecedented conflict between two nuclear powers.

Lignes de train au-dessus du fleuve Kamo, près du parc Hikari.

Ce n'est pas l'idée qui est mise en avant dans le clip, puisque le fleuve est beaucoup plus écrasé et le décor moins pictoresque. Certes, il y a des cerisiers qui bordent les rives, mais le parc Hikari manque d'ombres, la promenade est resserrée et la vue n'est pas aussi harmonieuse qu'en amont.

Vue du fleuve Kamo avec les terrasses des restaurants sur le côté gauche.

Ces terrasses font partie de l'esthétisme du Kyōto des loisirs, car elles fondent le 京都鴨川納涼床, cette appréciation de l'été près de Kamo-gawa. Depuis le XVIIe siècle, il était possible d'apprécier les festivités depuis les terrasses, globalement entre le premier mai et le mois d'octobre.

Je comprends sa logique ; son design même (d'un monde purgatoire, sans maîtrise). Je les respecte - mais rien n'y fait. Je partage la même expérience.

De fait, je ne sais pas si cela vaut le coup de pousser davantage : je ne pense pas que ton appréciation changera, même après avoir obtenu un Skell

Même sensation, rien ne me plaît vraiment - ce n'est pas mauvais, juste pas pour moi.

Je suis habituellement réceptif à ce que fait Takahashi : une grande affection pour "Xenogears" ; idem pour les épisodes numérotés des "Chronicles" (en dépit de l'esthétisme déplorable du 2). "X" ne passe pas.

Je l'avais abandonné juste après le chapitre 7 à l'époque, sur WiiU - rien ne me plaisait, en dehors de la planète Mira.

J'ai retenté, persévéré pour cette "Definitive Edition" - jusqu'au chapitre 12 (soit la fin du jeu d'origine). Fatigué par sa progression, j'ai abandonné à nouveau.
