    Having not read or watched Ready Player One, I assumed the work at some point makes a statement about how The Oasis is bad and 1980s pop culture obsession is suffocating.

    From what I understand, the real world in the book is a horrible future dystopia that's falling apart and ravaged by poverty and the creator of the oasis is revealed to be a huge loser. It would be stunning to play the themes straight and be like OH WOW LOOK A ROBOCOP FIGHTING A TERMINATOR

    This assumption you made would be wrong

    Do you ever get really upset and anxious about something and then the thing that had you in dread slips your mind for a moment so you still have the heavy feeling of unwellness but you’re just waiting for it to suddenly spike when you remember the subject

    No. I think I have a consistent underreaction to things, and am irrationally drawn towards an everything is fine feeling.

    Keep on trucking, even when the wheels fall off and there is no truck and this isn't a road even.

    I think this means I am good in a crisis situation but very bad at future planning or putting forth any effort without someone suggesting I should want to.

    If it was a humanity full of me's we would probably still live in caves and accept that someone just gets eaten by a lion every week.

    The theme of RP1 is, literally, oh cool! A Robocop fighting a Terminator!

    And then it makes value judgements based on whether you picked robocop or terminator, and no, again, not in the way you're thinking.

    The judgement is "if you picked robocop instead of terminator you aren't a real nerd."

    It's established that The Minions (who seek the most evil person around at any time) did not participate in WWII, despite what Boomers may think.

    Actually they were in Antarctica until the events of the Minions movie.

    the wow cool robot meme is extremely fitting for pretty much any nerd ip tho, this just goes one further in the meta-level where the author themself is the credulous face in the meme

    fwiw, elves speak with a transatlantic 50s radio accent [if I had my way they'd be speaking in Japanese to reflect their greying population and immense psychic pain of watching your culture slowly disintegrate in the face of modernity]; it's dwarves that are townies

    the chat lore is deep, and I think you'll also find it consistent

    Oh so thats why Google killed Play Music.

    YouTube Music has ads during music you purchased.
    I want to start a class action lawsuit over this. I'm so mad.

    It's your responsibility to insult yokels while grifting them. In entertainment media, you can do this with obvious themes they'll miss. On custom printed merch your options are limited to hiding rude imagery, wordplay, or good old fashioned bad fonts and kerning.
