#the Internets depressing

[jarsarahere]

Things have been negative lately and I need to do things in my own life to make things more positive, like less Internet. But it's a little sad cause I like using the Internet as a positive source. But I think right now it's just kinda making me feel sad. It'll be good for me though, I'll do more with my time.

thinking about how the creator of yume nikki just dropped one of the most popular and influential indie games ever made for free, refused to elaborate on what any of it's intricate symbolism meant, then disappeared off the face of the earth. legend

#zero interest in becoming an internet star. they just wanted to make their weird depressing little game in peace #yume nikki

The Mario movie thing is so funny to me. Here, look at this:

Sonic movies (1, 2, & w/ 3 on the way) come out, does INCREDIBLE in box office, decimates Marvel films, who previously had a stranglehold

Nintendo sees this, wants a piece of that pie, buckles down to make a Mario movie Incorrect order of events, as pointed out here! Mario movie announced before the public knew about Sonic movie.

(Potentially because the previous Mario movie was so out there, did poorly, & was disliked by fans & then promptly forgotten,) they pair with Illumination, a studio that is largely known for making very sterile films

Btw, is it just me that finds it weird that there is no mention from Nintendo or online of the previous movie, in all this? Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this film idk

They announce casting. Everyone immediately boos because they cast Chris Pratt as Mario.

Immediate outrage, as Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario for DECADES, was not cast in his claim to fame roll

There is a (unsourced) rumor that a test screening for the film was met with disappointment, making Nintendo unhappy

Slightly corroborating this, Nintendo buys Dynamo Pictures, to make Nintendo Pictures, with the intent to make future movies in-house

Anticipation for the movie likens it to other sterile animated movies of the last 10 years, like the Minions movies

Trailer comes out.

People continue to boo Chris Pratt, a bad cast for a beloved character who is putting 0 effort into his voice, in comparison to all other VAs putting in 110%

Chris Pratt goes to bed "depressed," at seeing the response I was incorrect, that is an older article, about when he was thanking his wife for providing a healthy child, to which people drew immediate parallels to his ex-wife's son, who has many health complications & needed many surgeries.

But with your help, we can make him being depressed after media backlash reality!

Lol, &, may I say, lmao.

#gale chatter #mario movie #chris pratt #sonic movie #btw i 100% believe that rumor you cannot tell me that ain't what happened #also it is transparent that nintendo wanted what sonic movie had #damn maybe i don't do that batim video as my first maybe i do mario movie #my hot take is they should have cast both charles martinet & the super mario bros super show va #& used them interchangeably #bc. that would own #i wanted to mention thr jack black ass thing here but i feel it's too out there & irrelevant #at first reading the quote ppl got mad at i was little like 'oh dang is this not as bad as i thought' #but then i remembered 1) it's chris pratt he says rancid shut all the time & 2) #this response of stating he feels depressed while not like apologizing is just to do nothing but evoke pity #& he easily coulda apologized & been like 'i didn't mean it that way' or 'i wasn't thinking abt it & I'm sorry' #but he's not sorry. he doesn't see anything wrong with what he said. it's the internet's reaction that is thr problem in his mind #so he wants to make them pity him & feel bad that shit is TEXTBOOK manipulation i would know lol

i hope everyone who sees this gets some rest under some warm soft blankets with a nice hot drink of their choice. yes even you. i see you, thinking you don't deserve it. you do. everyone needs rest and warmth and it is okay to seek those things out and you deserve to have them.

#positivity #sorry i am a bit drunk and a bit depressed but i am transmuting those emotions into something good #taking a longing for what i'm missing and turning it into motivation to promote those things in others and myself #there is warmth and light in this world no matter how far away they may seem #be it internet friends or warm blankets or ur fav food #or even a glass of water at 3am #even the smallest things can be full of love #anyway i am rambling #have a good night everyone

Hey, if you're just getting back into reading after a long period of depression, or psychosis, or whatever's got your brain turned to mush, don't be ashamed to start with smaller, simpler things. Don't be ashamed to read graphic novels, or fanfiction, or even children's novels. Try re-reading a book you enjoyed when you were a kid. You don't have to delve straight into academic literature or The Classics(tm) and honestly, it's okay if you never do. At least you're reading.

Building up the ability to read again takes time, and it takes effort, consistent effort. And mental illness (and sometimes, physical illness) really fucks with your ability to concentrate and retain information. But... it's a muscle you can rebuild.

You can do this. It took me months to finish my first simple book. And I'm still not where I used to be. But I've made a lot of progress, and I think you can too. Be gentle with yourself, and don't let the naysayers get you down. Whatever you're reading, as long as you're reading, is good.

#Reading #bookblr #Mental illness #Depression #Psychosis #pseriouslypsychosis #Tagging bc my brain was fucking mush after years of psychosis. It does awful things to you #And I'm sick and tired of the elitist idea that the only 'valid' way to read is to read difficult novels #Anything is better than mindless scrolling on the internet y'all

#tfw your last post was on halloween #whoopsie doodle #Took a break from internetting for a bit because the pains in my arms and wrists flared back up #long story short I made some adjustments to the tools I work with and how I use them and after some rest I'm right as rain again #coupled with some up and down depressive slogs #outdoor pool #pool

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

#i could write essays about how capitalism ruined the internet. #i was actually talking to someone earlier today about how youtube was kind of effectively ruined by monetisation. #and they were raised in the soviet union and we had a bit of a talk about how art was better because it wasn't for profit. #the people who made art made it because they wanted to do it and because they loved it. #she said that communism was terrible for every aspect of life for her. people's lives under communism wasn't pretty. #but the art was better. and i feel like it's true for the internet – it was better when it was a free-for-all. #the companies didn't know how to exploit it yet and turn it into a neverending profit-driven hellscape. #people created content because they wanted to. because they wanted to make something silly to make people laugh. #not for profit. not for gain. not for numbers. not to further their career. #i miss the days of newgrounds and youtube before monetisation. #capitalism has soiled everything that's joyful and good in this world. #people should be able to share whatever they want. #people should be able to tell any story they want without the fear of being silenced by advertisers. #that's what made the internet so beautiful before. anyone could do anything and we all had equal footing. #but now we're victims of the algorithm. and it makes me sick. #i'm quitting my job in social media. i'm quitting it. it makes me too depressed. i have an existential crisis every freaking day. #every day i wake up and say "ah. this is the fucking hell we live in #i'm so sorry i feel so passionate about this. #social media is a black hole and it is actively destroying humanity. forget ai. social media is what's doing it. #i miss how beautiful the internet used to be. it should've been a tool for good. but it's corrupt and evil now. #sci speaks

It is a lonely March experience to be one of the people who get seasonal depression in spring-summer instead of winter

#there's something about this time that just makes me want to dig a hole and get in it #half the internet in winters is filled with the seasonal depression stuff and then it's march and everyone's all #talking about how the sun is making everything alright for everyone this is surely a universal experience #hate it here so much

gonna go catch up on the ts4cc tag

#depressing! truly the semi abandoned strip mall of the internet

I can't imagine how quality my life would be if people were willing to listen to niche, incredibly strange cornered personalities. I'm such an interesting person, but people don't speak my language 98% of the time and nobody cares to unless you speak the mainstream, boring oversaturated languages that people speak with celebrity pop culture, influencers, and the so forth. The worthlessness that I feel from not being able to fit into mainstream society has made a black mark. Still, the niche incredibly strange personality persists.

I'm just a incredibly strange mentally ill, genuinely schizophrenic incredibly imaginative maladaptive daydreaming mentally ill person who cannot tell fantasy from reality, but I feel like it could have been so much more than that if society had spaces for more niche corners like us to speak.

#I'm so depressed that I promised myself I wouldn't post anymore #but looking at the four neurodivergent people that post in the tags I check even if they end up paying me #*hating me #is enough to get me going again at least for a little bit #I don't even bother with fandom anymore nor does it excite me because I've been rejected from BoJack culture in every way #but I'm still madly in love with him and have psychotic maladaptive disorders about him so it doesn't matter #so I just casually interact #assume that people are going to treat me like trash and move on #most Bojack fans are excessively neurotypical much like the characters and the people that made it #and neurotypicals absolutely despise me especially since I'm becoming increasingly more insane as I get older #just internet junk anyway so it barely matters #I learned plenty from the discord and of the cursed thing that you call a reddit group
