Thinking about this video today and was pleasantly surprised that it passed 100 views when I wasn't looking. May not be a lot in the grand scheme, but I like to think what I talk about in this vid helped one of those 100 viewers going through similar stuff. 😙🪕🪘🪈📏🎶 youtu.be/Hnk7S8c_aaw?...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

There is a 1.2 million-person armed militia with active ties to white supremacist groups, no legal obligation to protect people + a frequent blank check to brutalize, intimidate, and even kill ordinary members of the public and saying this shouldn't exist is considered insanely fringe and radical

IDK man It just sounds like you've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real, or not?

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

What it sounds like you're saying is Kingdom Hearts 4 is setting itself up to be this meta-narrative where the characters inhabit this space of ideas. The ideas that ran their course, and the ideas that were never realized

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

I really feel like next you're going to point out that the first time we *see* Quadratum it's directly referencing the 104 Building from TWEWY, another Nomura game about people caught in a purgatory between life and death until they're able to fight for their right to live

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

I really want to clarify: In this crazed rant, you're pointing out that, in the Square-developed game Kingdom Hearts, they call this Land of the Dead/Unreal "Quadratum." Which I'm seeing here is Latin for "Built by Square."

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

What you're explaining to me, is that Versus 13 was "A fantasy based on reality" and that Kingdom Hearts defines where Sora is as being outside of reality? That is to say, when things die they become fictional? Just a fantasy? A dream of what could have been?

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

You're also telling me that FF Versus 13 was about a world transfixed by death, with a protagonist that can see dead things, and KH3 ends with the protagonist dying?

Murph04 (@murph04.bsky.social):

So you're telling me Kingdom Hearts teases the direction of it's next phase by directly invoking a cancelled game, then the title meant to kick-off that next phase is itself cancelled? AND that game was titled "Missing Link"??

"Link is more a rogue than a fighter." Yes. Absolutely. She gets it. Link is this scrappy farm boy with a pocket full of specialized gizmos. He should come across as wily and inventive, not a stoic warrior
