If you got to live inside a video game world, which one would you choose?
Best video game ever! The little man was so well drawn he was funny to look at. His voice made you giggle. The problems he got himself into were hilarious. He was still immensely brave though.
Degress
That’s the opposite of progress right? 🤣
I’m already being driven happily crazy just thinking about all the fun. Especially after what’s happened with games lately.
Gone are the really inventive games, in their place a great deal of violence and 30,000 copies of Fishdom have appeared. Games are so samey now.
If something’s good every company hitches their star to the wagon and pretends it’s different. That or ‘Enemy! Shoot him!’ Followed by human explosion and scattering of body parts.
We are very tempted to get a PlayStation again and go full on MediEvil, but what if my youthful memories have been polluted, and you have to match three to win the fight?!
It would be an outrage and betrayal that would be impossible to deal with! No one should have to face that! I would pray though that Sony have retained a moderate level of brilliance at least.
Making Banal Look Thrilling
I know that older people are famous for saying that the past was better, normally it’s just about quality though, but in many aspects this is a wildly boring world nowadays.
In the shops are the same clothes, the same shapes, coming disguised in different colours and patterns. The cuts are awful. The sleeves are 14 feet long. The colours send you to sleep.
There is no fashion, no innovation, but at least you can store them in similar style wardrobes and dressers, as everyone copies IKEA. This is speaking from the UK of course.
And slightly exaggerating.
If you’re young and rolling your eyes at the way old people see life, wait until you’ve been offered the same thing over and over again, but the fabrics are getting thinner, rougher, and are bobbled in the shop.
If I’d known my weight would return to normal post menopause I’d have packed up my youthful wardrobe and lived in sweatpants and sweatshirt until I could wear them again.
I think the only interesting thing in this world now, of you’re not a millionaire, are the new electric cars and in car dashboard design. It sadly seems to me that everything else is samey and nowhere near as good.
But life is better so I’m not complaining, just having a laugh, remembering fun times, mourning my wardrobe, and ever optimistic the world will start putting design before money.
That works! Make a million of them and we will all sell them.
This doesn’t apply to the rich of course, who can afford to swab down the red carpet, trying to create shock and awe, wearing clothes we wouldn’t been seen dead in.
The media applaud it, the public sit at home in stunned silence wondering if they’ve all lost their minds! I wonder whether the designers sit at home calling each other saying ‘I can’t believe s/he actually wore it, didn’t they realise it was a joke?’ That or, ‘A piece of net, ten sequins, cheapest dress I’ve ever made’.
The new nude look some celebrity women are adopting is just sad. I haven’t worked out the statement yet. Maybe they just want to upset their nan?
Or I’m way out of touch and thank God for that.
Best love
