tombo I love this take! tim rogers as the Zizek of videogames is spot on.
Both of them are brilliant at synthesizing a staggering range of ideas, and pulling insightful, potentially life-altering idea-points out of “lowbrow culture” artifacts.
Both of them also shine brightest in written word form. I would posit that they’re both writers first and foremost, but also are both talented at making compelling and entertaining video content, although their personae sort of eclipse the content of what they’re saying in video form.
