CONCLUSIVE FUCKING PROOF THAT IT REALLY WAS BETTER IN THE OLD DAYS.

“IN CASE OF DOUBT, JUST GO…

IF YOU TRY TO WIN, YOU MIGHT LOSE. IF YOU DON’T TRY TO WIN, YOU LOSE FOR SURE…

WHEN YOU’RE AT THE START LINE, AND YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT REALLY GOING TO TAKE YOUR CHANCE, YOU KNOW YOU’RE BEATEN AT THE START LINE. HOW FRUSTRATING IS THAT? I COULD NEVER BE A BIKE RIDER…

IT’S BETTER TO TAKE A SMALL CHANCE IN YOUR HAND, MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY THAN TO WAIT FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO DROP YOU OFF THEIR WHEEL”

OH JENS, YOU’RE FUCKING BRILLIANT.

slavin: I’m not sure, but I think this is the first time in my life that I looked at a real picture and assumed it was from a video game. The photo speaks to the things that console games have down — the geometry and finish of machinery, the blurless fragments of a detonation, smoke effects on a cloudless sky. The avatars’ faces are turned away so you can’t see how difficult it is to simulate a meaningful expression. The outstretched arm in the avatar further from the camera is outstretched just it would be in a studio with someone wearing a motion capture suit. As a videogame still, it’s perfect. As reality, it’s grim and sad, a reminder of something on the planet that continues without hope.  #ludicproxy #butinreverse afterimg: U.S. Army soldiers from the 2nd Platoon, B battery 2-8 field artillery, fire a howitzer artillery piece at Seprwan Ghar forward fire base in Panjwai district, Kandahar province southern Afghanistan, June 12, 2011.
