The Winter Mind

When people online (or, rather, bots-pretending-to-be-people) praise LLMs for democratizing literature/writing, arts and various spheres of IT (commodification that happens instead resembles democracy only if we take Plato's definition of it), giving the masses universal access to information (algorithmically "enhanced" to serve state and corpo propaganda), and achieving numerous successes in science and technology (none to be found) – this game is what they picture as a paradigm: a hollowed out scene-after-scene recreation of an already shallow enough story, tainted with even more meaningless and intellectually insulting dialogue, that makes the original btard-esque fetishization of an unrealistically braindead anime delulu feel like an exquisite read; this particular example embodies the intention of mocking culturally impotent FOMO tiktokified content consumers, choosing to drool over inferior formulaic pastiches of their respective prototypes (initially compiled by humans but later consistently sloppified with chatbot token abuse – be it Manichaean fantasy novels, indie Unity games, or Fruity Loops electronics bricolages) by intentionally ignoring the near-infinite compendium of the most refined humanity's creations, made easily accessible with a click of a mouse button thanks to the novelty of fast internet access – this mockery made effective not only due to its target being the holy cow of every too-deep-for-14-yo left-mouse-button-click-spamming visual novel, but moreso due to the artisanal perfection of degrading Milk...'s "themes" to comedy skits, parodying the original emotional sequences with contextless introductions and abrupt cuts, and deterritorializing the fauxinsanity of Milk...'s protagonist into a Xitter bio hashtag wall simulacrum; the exercise of illuminating the scenery of technofeudal content generating theater by removing the black mirror darkly for 8 minutes of intense gameplay, sadly turned futile by hostile Steam algorithms and poor reception by core audience.
