    just a heads up that if you respond poorly to flashing images, do not watch.

    This is art and I'm not saying that ironically.

      Yeah, wow, I’m right there with you. Just had me lightly smirking at first, but by the end, I’m sitting here almost misty-eyed missing the “old Internet” of my childhood. I know that era wasn’t perfect and the glasses are a little rose-tinted, but something’s definitely been lost along the way and this captured it in a perfectly irreverent way. Thanks for sharing, @Fog!

      Oh yeah. Its absolutely crammed with layers of referential symbolism. I downloaded it and was going frame by frame analyzing the details. A lot of the references are things I have only a passing familiarity with, so I would love if more people could chime in on what they could mean.

      As a small example when the gaming laptop is taken away for gaming at work the the boss plushie reminds the pov character that they need to feed their family and they start working(also seen through the lens of gaming) for a pathetic paycheck creating identical plushies to the angry boss. UI elements indicating low health, the stealth failure alarm from deus ex ringing. Then when they get home their family is a body pillow. IDK exactly what it means but I don't think it was chosen haphazardly.

    This album is also worth listening to if you are are terminally online and a fan of unique glitch pop. (although much darker thematically) I just found it recently so I haven't had much time to dig into the lyrics but the absurdly long track titles tell enough.
