    'Cormorant Fishing' by Kawase Hasui (1954)

    Kawase Hasui is an interesting figure in the history of Japanese woodblock print art. He was a prominent figure in the shin hanga ("new woodblock prints") movement, which can be broadly understood as continuing the tradition of the style being a collaborative process between multiple parties (artist, carver, printer, publisher) while incorporating introduced Western artistic technique. It's also notable for being largely funded, as a movement, by Western patrons and buyers. This was due, in part, to ukiyo-e as a broader body of work being considered mass commercial work within Japan (where art schools began placing high emphasis on Western artistic techniques and single-person created works), whereas in the West woodblock printing in the style was viewed as fine art.

    Kawase Hasui himself was declared a 'Living National Treasure' in 1956, a year before his passing in 1957.

    That's how memes work, isn't it? A code being repeatedly de- and re-territorialised through variation and repetition, organising milleus into conceptual whole of the meme.

    anyway steamed hams is great, especially the Nier Automata one

    The thing is that the original steamed hams skit is funny and also the remixes are funny.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    steamed hams is like a meme performing itself. It's referential of itself on purpose and eats its own conceptual tail so fast that the meta-truth of it being a meme is more memetic than the actual meme.

    So with VH on DS3 I can see the "now the real dark souls begins" as being funny. We transplanted it to Subnautica and it worked and was funny. In part because there is a grain of truth to it. "You think this shit is bad? Just wait".

    Steamed Hams is just a simpsons clip of Skinner having to double down on his web of lies and deceit and while entertaining in a cringeworthy kind of "will he get caught now?" kind of way it's not...funny? It's like it exists purely for its own sake without humor or an actual nod to a truth of the subject matter.

    And then the mashups are like, cool you figured out how to use a movie editor

    the first steamed hams post was already a meme. It lacks the organic quality of memetic things.

    One day we'll find out that steamed hams was mostly russian bots.

    in this sentence is "dent" a euphamism for orgasm, and also is "car hood" slang for her snatch

    the steamed ham is a rhizome which lacks a firm subject-object relation and we're all already dead

    Yeah I get why the original Simpsons clip is meant to be funny

    It's probably fine when you are watching a whole episode of the simpsons after school and expect to experience some funny bits and some bits that are just mildly amusing, and this is among the latter

    anyway it's okay if you don't like steamed hams or loss, but there's plenty of people who do and going "ugh but it's not funny!!" probably isn't going to convince anyone to change their mind

    Ar least steamed hams is just funny and absurd

    Loss should be preceded by a trigger warning

    Like, in another universe, the panel 4 plot could be him rushing to a police station while she identifies her attacker

    And the internet would still meme it because it's a deserving target of mockery for its failure of mapping that experience onto a video games webcomic

    But, the internet is tone--deaf to the underlyung psychic disturbance of having that popping up everywhere, regardless of the merit of the mockery

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
