I was reflecting on how the things we build on the digital world seem to mirror what we build on the physical one. Big social media platforms are the metropolis: dense, busy, chaotic. They’re the place that never sleeps and there’s always something new going on.
I really like this point of view written by Manu, however I need to one-up on it. I feel that social media websites are not metropolis, they are the rotten, broken, dysfunctional megalopolis cities that we find in the Judgde Dredd universe. Facebook, X (or The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter), TikTok are places just like Mega-City One: over-populated, filled with criminals of all kinds, high-tech helping The Man not the little persons, corrupt and on the verge of collapse. Outside of it there’s nothing but deserted land, radiation, and a band of misfits living with the bare resources. And these guys are us, the little blogs, trying to make ends meet.

Finished this year (so far)
- Stray (review)
- Oxenfree II (review)
- Tails: the Backbone Preludes (review)
- Not sure if it counts, but I finished the “Hot Wheels” DLC of Forza Horizon 5
Unfinished (yet) or not finishing
- Tunic - got absurdly hard at some point, dropped it (review)
- Hot Wheels Unleashed - was fun, but got bored of it
- Lapin - started it, but dropped, maybe I’ll finish it at some tine. Too much dialogue and speed running it you lose the story.
- Need For Speed Underground (the OG one). Installed it and made it work as a lul on the SteamDeck, but eventually stuff gets too fast and too small for the SD screen and it makes it hard to play. Fun trip down memory lane tho.
