Terrifying.
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.
That's unfortunate.
I don't really like it unless it's like in Greg Egan's short story "Wang's Carpets" in which the simulation is naturally occurring, and the laws of physics of the outer reality are completely different from the embedded one.
This song sounds good until you think about it for a moment and realize that it's complaining about absolutely nothing. 'Wealthy American suburbanites lead largely identical lives to one another with only superficial differen-' OF COURSE THEY DO! PEOPLE SHARING THE SAME CULTURE, FROM THE SAME SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND ARE GOING TO LEAD SIMILAR LIVES! THINK, MALVINA, THINK!
Boring.
I like the rating system on this site since I feel that it's less ambiguous than the star rating systems on sites like IMDB or Letterboxd. On this site I don't have to fret over whether something is an 8/10 or a 9/10, I can just give it a 'Y' because I undeniably enjoyed it, and leave it at that.
