Suburban/Rural Japan Syndrome is even better

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

You know Paris Syndrome? The thing where you go to Paris and it turns out to suck?

I have Tokyo Syndrome: I went to Japan and it was an even better place than I thought it'd be.

Scion is back... and will sell kei trucks in America.

The brand has released the KEI-01, a 660-cc mini truck that will be built and sold in the US.

Yes, you read all of that correctly.

@divya_venn it’s authentically you, and i think more than anything that’s the right thing to do with video content

that’s explicitly different from curation, which many conflate as contradictory when it’s not

[𝚓𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚢 @202accepted]

@nardposterino to be fair this post kinda confirmed to me no-one gives a shit 😂

maybe i should put claude on the case for this lol

longer lore drop for those who care:

for a while, and for folks who know i used to be wildly famous and viral on a few videos on super early tiktok/musical.ly during the acquisition transition

this is how most people know of me as the flamethrower guy

some of you grew up also seeing my much older work on the old gmod machinima’s even (now some background items are in skibidi toilet)

i’m not jealous at all of content creators having worked so closely with them and briefly seen what it was like

i was relentlessly mocked and ridiculed over this and there was no money at all in it

at some point i realized i wasn’t actually that big on fame, unless it helped me build and do cool things (which it did, it helped me acquire more flamethrowers, do more shenanigans, etc)

writing has been actually the thing i struggle most with, and despite reading at an early age and growing up also walking distance (4-6 miles) to the library was a life changing experience, even if i spent most of my time coding flash games for newgrounds and stickpage/stickmedia on the computer there and using hg and svn to save my code (remember sourceforge y’all?)

this has been the biggest challenge for to actually write consistently, as i’m not sure what to write most times

often i don’t think anyone cares what i have to say, but at this point it’s a weekly request to write a memoir or autobiography for them to read

i’m not sure if people really read much anymore, and video is much more my forte, but the people who matter and ask are the ones who still read

however, the real struggle i have is within—writing makes me incredibly uncomfortable just like making videos make it difficult for divya

why? i feel i’m misinterpreted cause i’m horrible at writing, i feel it’s a vulnerable place, and there’s so much minutiae i’m missing or don’t understand

they can’t see my face, so how do i convey the right emotions? what framing is this? memoir? autobiography? wait what’s the difference really? i love using *italics*, and underscores, how will people interpret that? is the oxford comma good or not now? how should sentences be structured (parentheses ok?!?)? will people accuse me of using AI—i love my em dashes and used them since i was 14, fuck?!

in the end, i think the key lesson i learned making videos, is your camera, framing, lighting, ie the minutiae, all are second to one thing:

the content

- -

if you watch youtubers and listen to experienced podcasters you’ll always hear them harp on this

it makes sense, but it’s also the ultimate vulnerability

*what if no-one gives a fuck?*

another guy writing on the internet, who cares? it feels so much easier to do video or at worst, yet another podcast talking not about myself

i don’t feel i need to find my tribe—i’ve found it

i don’t feel i have to prove anything to anyone else—i’ve got plenty to prove to myself

i don’t feel *anyone else cares* to read it—i’ve got to investigate this,..

…but the answer is what scares me

[divenire @divya_venn]

i have been making a video a day for the last 15 days and you have no idea how much i hate it. i am SO uncomfortable on camera. in fact the whole concept of a social media skeeves me out. before i started writing on twitter, i had NO social media at all for like 8 years.

S asked me why I do it. I told him I was too tired to think about it, and I'd answer after I did what I resolved to do, which was make a video every day for 15 days. Here is my answer:

Writing is my joy and my vocation. Good writing saved me as a lonely child and an unhappy teenager and it continues to save me now. I credit who I am to these authors, long dead, who sent their words out into the world like small ships out to sea. I still prefer books, but most people don't. And if social media is the game I must play to get people to read good writing (mine and others) then by golly I'll do it.

It drives me crazy to see youtube channels and instagram accounts with 1M+ religious viewers and most of them can't write worth a damn, and they don't CARE either. I'll sit there hypnotized by their reels and think at the end "god I just spent 3 minutes of my life watching this and not a single thing of substance was said"

Well, I'm a pragmatist. I'll meet people where they are at. If you need the sugar of a beautifully filmed and edited video made with a $1.5k camera and a $800 lens and a $200 production software and 4 hours of my time, to get your spoonful of medicine down, just to read something it took me half an hour to write that I think is important, that would have helped me a couple years ago, then well I'll DO IT.

And god, if there's a kid raised on intellectual junk food, Peppa the pig and whatever nonsense Pixar is up to these days and brain rot reels, who stumbles across one of my videos and that's the first taste of careful writing he's ever had, and that gets him into blogs, then books, and he goes on to become a great reader, then as Eminem said "if one kid out of a hundred million/Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great" I'll do it for that kid.

because you know i was lucky enough to grow up with no phones, and hardly a computer, and walking distance from a library, and a mom who cared enough to wrestle me into a chair and make me learn how to read. but god we live in a depraved age, and I WILL DO MY SMALL PART IN TURNING THE TIDE. I WILL MAKE THINGS THAT GO VIRAL THAT ARE NOT SLOP, THAT MAKE YOU THINK, THAT HAVE TASTE!! and i do not know how to do it. i have a LONG way to go in being a writer, a MUCH LONGER way to go in making these videos, but as Reepicheep said

“My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country, or shot over the edge of the world into some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.”
