There are multiple Hexbearinos who possess a strong dislike for cum

Nobody’s making you post it, either

The real MVPs will do both a blog post and a video essay

What if I like there being a visual element and perhaps the occasional comedic aside?

Even then too many of them have too much fluff to hit algorithmic length standards.

Yeah, so many copycats of channels like Nerdwriter and Every Frame A Painting completely miss the point of what those channels do with the medium.

Accuratly portraying history is doing a communism. You dont have to intentionally do a communism to do a communism.

That’s fine by me cause they’re stuck with a cannon where the rebellion is absolutely the good guys. I’m certain it was by accident but it’d be pretty lib of me to judge thebintent behind something rather than the material result.

Accurate. A better revolution would be all those poor bastards you see around City 17 leading things instead of the nerds (I say as a nerdy engineer person).

If anything, I’d say that Half-Life 2 ridicules the idea of the “great man”. For instance, the City 17 Uprising was only possible because of 20 years of the resistance building up under the assumption that Gordon was already dead, and the uprising was only triggered by the destruction of Nova Prospekt — which was completely accidental and not even Gordon’s fault. And for the first week of the City 17 Uprising, again, Gordon was completely absent and presumed dead, and yet the resistance just kept growing. All of the Combine’s focus on hunting down “Anticitizen One” ended up being pointless, because the resistance would just persist without him anyways, as it always had!

So, Gordon’s shoes could be filled by anybody at any point… But that’s exactly what you’re doing when you play a video game with a silent protagonist, anyways! Any “greatness” that Gordon has is your own. You are the “right man in the wrong place” — “being the hero” was your choice by continuing to play the game. All that the Gman really is is the sort of “middle man” between the real world and the game world — that’s my understanding, at least. The Gman is such an enigmatic figure that to me the best interpretations of him are always meta in some way, rather than just taking everything at face value.

Gordon achieved this sort of messianic status because the Black Mesa Incident had been made into this legend to inspire hope in the resistance. But Gordon Freeman himself remains aware throughout the entire game that his success has always at every point relied on others’ help, on the networks already in place, on the enemy’s mistakes, on the little coincidences here and there. Gordon just cannot speak for himself — just like the actual so-called “great men” of history cannot speak against their own mythologization.

I mean, I have a lot more thoughts on this, naturally, including some that touch on aesthetics — but it’s late and three probably very pretentious paragraphs is probably enough.

We have a few options, someone tried forcing glegle somewhere (can’t remember where) if I recall correctly. I found this one by googling glegle, and got on some weird but interesting looking imageboard; brainworm.rodeo:

But I think it doesn’t really solve the fundamental issue of Wojaks, being repetetive and unoriginal.

We could also return to 2008 and either use rage comics or make original stuff. Or we can use Alunya xddddddd

As long as it’s not Wojaks it’s great, it’s the one cultural export from Poland that is nothing but a scourge on the internet. Even making something similar to Wojaks (like glegle) would be much better.

Whatever it is that you enjoy most.

Yes
