    this thing is chock full of software upscaling a la “Let It Be”, and that’s certainly a choice. I know this pisses lots of people off (like normalization, autotune, drum machines, etc) and I’m not gonna tilt at it, it’s just a thing people are doing right now.

    I think it’s ok to be mad at the dip in quality between film and digital and not want to present it in 320 lines of blur. I don’t think this is a “let people enjoy things” take.

  5. 23rd book of the year: “Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia" by Jason Pargin. Fun as expected. A pre-order, because that this point I just subscribe to Pargin stuff.

    It’s been two months since I finished anything, my head has not been in the right space to read, I’d bounced off three other things, and I’ve been taking lots of long walks instead.

    Hardback cover, dark purple circuit-looking lines over purple background, illustration of someone wearing a pink cat earring with orange flames obscuring their face and a butterfly obscuring the flames, holding a wine glass of flames, title in black over a pink blob.

    kinda fun to have started ( https://mastodon.social/@gravely/109689742882840282) and ended the year w/ Pargin ( https://johndiesattheend.com)—completely unplanned.

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image second book down, the new Jason Pargin (f. k. a. David Wong), "If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe." It was fun! I lol'd a few times, didn't want to put it down, etc. Jason put a tiny house of leaves gimmick in it (it's full of metafiction shit tbh) but I only noticed it was happening for the last word so if you read it, let me know what it says (I'm going to go cheat and google it right now).Mastodon
