 Klara and the Sun [book, audiobook]

AH GEEZ, THIS IS REALLY GOOD. IT'S BY THE GUY WHO WROTE BURIED GIANT BUT A WEIRD GENERIC SCI-FI STORY WITH A YOKO TARO STYLE ANDROID.  IT DEALS WITH THE SAME SORT OF MEMORY/IDENTITY/REGRET TYPE THEMES AND ALSO DEALS WITH THE SAME "A THING RELEASES MIST IS IDENTIFIED AS THE ISSUE WITH THE WORLD" PLOT THAT MAKES ME THINK ISHOGURO HAS SOME WEIRD PERSONAL MYTHOLOGY ABOUT THAT HE WORKS INTO EVERY STORY. 

PS. IT'S GOT "ROBOT THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ANYTHING IS" UNRELIABLE NARRATOR THAT DESCRIBES THINGS WEIRD OR WRONG AND THAT'S FINE, BUT THERE IS A COUPLE TIMES I JUST COULD NOT FOLLOW WHAT THE THING DESCRIBED ACTUALLY REPRESENTS. THEY ARE MAKING A MOVIE OF THIS EVENTUALLY AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT JUST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING AT AT SOME POINTS. I THINK SHE HAD SOME SORT OF ROBOCOP EYES UI THAT THE BOOK WAS DESCRIBING IN FIRST PERSON WITHOUT EVER EXPLAINING?

Blight of Humanity [movie]

 Blight of Humanity  [movie] I DON'T KNOW, THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE MOVIE WITH THE MOST EXPLICIT/GRAPHIC SHOCK STUFF I'VE EVER SEEN. THE PREMISE IS PRETTY LITERALLY JUST FILM ON THE MOST NICE DAY OF SUMMER THEN HAVE HORRIBLE STUFF.  I KIND OF HATE HOW IT ENDED. FOR LIKE 95% IT WAS ACTUALLY EARNING IT'S HORRIBLE STUFF WITH A PRETTY STRONG ARTISTIC MESSAGE. AS LONG AS THE DAD/DOCTOR/GOD/PROFESSOR GUY WAS DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH A "LOOK AT HIM GO", "WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DISRUPTIFUL", "YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE IT YOUR WAY" LENS IT WAS REALLY WORKING AS MEANING *SOMETHING* EVEN IF THAT WAS STILL ABSTRACT. AS SOON AS HE WAS HELPING/REACTING IT MADE IT JUST WAY MORE A DIRECT GROSS OUT FILM THAT SUCKS. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY SOME JESUS ALLEGORY? EH, MEH. PS. THIS HAD A BUNCH OF REAL ANIMAL DEATH. THAT SUCKS. I HATED THAT MORE THAN THE STUFF WITH THE ACTORS. THEY HIT A SALIMANDER WITH A STICK AND HIT A CRICKET WITH A DIFFERENT CRICKET AND THAT ...

Cyberpunk 2077 [game]

 Cyberpunk 2077 [game] I HAVE A BAD HABIT OF PLAYING GAMES TOO EARLY, IN THIS ONE THE GAME LAUNCHED BAD THEN THEY PATCHED IT UNTIL IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME THEN PATCHED IT MORE TO JUST GO "JUST LET THEM DO COOL CRAP" THEN I PLAYED IT AND YEAH, IT'S EASY AS HECK, EVEN ON "HARD" BUT THATS FINE. IT'S PRETTY GOOD. ALSO THE GAME CRASHED AT THE END CREDITS AND I AM GOING TO ACCEPT THAT AS THE TRUE ENDING.  PS. I AM OBSESSED WITH HOW THIS DID DATING. MOST GAMES DO THE 'PLAYER SEXUAL' THING WHERE YOU CAN DATE EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE (STRAIGHT ASTARION). THIS GAME DIDN'T DO THAT AND GAVE EVERYONE VERY STRICT REQUIREMENTS. BUT THE GAME GAVE A LOT OF GENDER OPTIONS.  SO THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT WHO SOMEONE WILL OR WILL NOT DATE THE MORE COMPLICATED IT GETS. I KINDA LIKE THE IDEA IT'S JUST A FUTURE CYBERPUNK THING.

Heartbeeps [movie]

 Heartbeeps [movie] ONE TIME SOMEONE DREW SOME VENN DIAGRAM CIRCLES THAT WERE LIKE "HUMAN EXPERIENCE" AND "ANDREW'S EXPERIENCE" AND THEY WERE FULLY DISCONNECTED. I WATCHED THIS MOVIE SO I COULD MAKE SOME COMMENT ABOUT HOW THIS MOVIE IS THE SAME AND OPPOSITE AS "BLIGHT OF HUMANITY" AND THAT IS *NOTHING*.  THESE ARE NOT MOVIES ANYONE HAS SEEN OR CARES ABOUT. NO ONE IS WONDERING MY OPINIONS ON THE SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A 0% RATED AMERICAN COMEDY WITH ROBOTS AND JERRY GARCIA'S ONLY SPEAKING ROLE AND A GERMAN MOVIE ABOUT RAPE AND MURDER WHERE A DWARF POOPS IRL ON CAMERA. THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO WRITE SOME ESSAY CONNECTING THE TWO.  PS. THIS MOVIE IS JUST NOT GOOD. I FEEL ENTIRELY SURE THE ROBOT PROPS ALL BROKE AND THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT LIKE A THIRD OF THE MOVIE. IT ENDS SO ABRUPTLY.
