I Know A LOT Is In This Newest Chapter But Im Thinking About The Sort Of. Little Commentary On White

I know a LOT is in this newest chapter but I’m thinking about the sort of. little commentary on white settler colonialism in it. the contrast between the obviously phony and overwrought nonsense about alexander the great being buried in Illinois, versus the actual history of american land illustrated in the two towns named “ball ground” and “ballplay” because they were cherokee stickball-playing sites. i’m not really qualified to make further commentary, but.

in an faq for the original 17776, jon bois mentions that what (the united states of) america and football have in common is that he loves the idea of them, but that they’ve too intrinsically designed to destroy people and cause misery for him to truly love them unconditionally. 17776′s base premise was, in part, that american football can only become its best self in a world where people can’t  get injured by it or die. musings on the nature of “america” was also present in 17776, but it almost feels almost like it’s a stronger theme now in 20020.

every so often I’m reminded of this post and I lose my mind all over again

Scariest thing that’s ever happened to me?

Walking sleepily into my friend’s kitchen at three in the morning one sleepover to find him hunched over a bowl of peanut butter-covered noodles muttering ominously “but I must find the Russian man” I asked no questions and I don’t think he even comprehended I was there.

UPDATE: DONE!

NON-ORIENTABLE SANDWICH: ACHIEVED!
