I think it has more to do with a greater desire for escapism into an alien world with problems that are appealing in their alien ness as the real world becomes increasingly untenable. For USAians that’s armor and orcs, for poles it’s cousin Betty’s done run out of insulin again and it’s only halfway through the month can she convince her baby daddy who works at the Walmart pharmacy to hook her up with enough supply to enjoy two servings of Meemaw’s ambrosia salad at the bbq without going comatose.

Are hats back yet? Seems like they were big in the 30's, died, then had a big comeback in the early 2000's, but I'm not sure if they are officially back in 2024 yet.

no matter what i study it always seems to come down to "can you make a good powerpoint presentation?"

weary of the digital age

e: a cheat code i discovered is just to hand-paint everything. people are so accustomed to sleek digital graphics that seeing something hand-made short-circuits their brain in generally a positive way

e2: actually, "people are loving sick of computers and just pretending not to be because they need the money" is becoming a golden rule for every facet of modern life
