>Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the acceleratepill leads to either slimy nihilism or eastern liturgy
that's how it went for me. basically thrashed out any possibility of being satisfied with fascism, communism or liberalism, but maybe Eastern stuff was just always where i was supposed to wind up anyways, so idk.

i still have love for mysticism of all stripes tho, East or West.

also, i haven't played this game yet or anything but for what it's worth, this is a pretty impressive piece of art.

heh, i do remember you! were you pursuing somebody from your jiu-jitsu class? i hope that worked out well, or if not well, at least not terribly...

>i think the pause refreshed by now
it has! very much so. and i still do get the occasional urge to shitpost like a madman about cyberpunk and acceleration it's true. but i also think that part of that thing, whatever it was, was to kind of help me to kind of try to say whatever it was that i needed to say about materialism in general. sort of like taking a trip through the underworld and being along the way filled up with arrows and bullets and all kinds of other horribleness. /acc is good for that if you want to burnout really fast and know the joys of doing so.

but i think i am probably going to be turning over a new leaf this year, i've recently fallen hard - very hard - for Buddhism and i don't think it's likely that i'm going to look back. Girard still rocks my socks, massively, and apocalyptic wheels of sacrifice and destruction are things that i think are sadly going to be with us for a while - hopefully only in a theoretical or literary sense! Girard knew some shit like no other.

but the more i take the plunge into Buddhism the more this stuff just feels right to me now. dependent-arising is a very powerful theory of mimesis, and the basic Mahamudra idea, that the mind cannot represent itself, has been a major part of the conspicuous lightness i have been feeling recently. so maybe it was time for a turn in that direction? i don't know.

but yeah, basically i think it's safe to say RIP girardfag, wonky /lit/ shitposter with a cyberpunk fetish, 2016-2019. 'twas a grand old time. and thank god this board was here, i think i really just needed to rant. of course, being as vain as i am, i will probably no doubt respond to summons if for some reason somebody really needs a spicy hot take with erratic capitalization and the usual schizo-ramble flavor. but probably it's time to move on and try some new stuff in a whole new key.
