context, dexter’s laboratory spoiler from vague memory
dexter wants to learn french by listening to an instructional tape while he sleeps, but the tape gets stuck and just plays the words “omelette du fromage” over and over. when he wakes up that’s all he can say
context, metal gear rising spoiler, horrific thing that happens in game
at the end of the chapter raiden finds a research facility that has a massive room full of child brains in jars that are being subjected to vr child soldier training before they’ll eventually be placed in cyborgs
@itsonlythee just referred to the ending of metal gear rising’s sewer chapter as “omelette du fromage but worse” and that’s incredible
the other thing that i've mostly forgotten, but can still kinda remember, is the feeling that probably smartphones were gonna remain a kind of niche thing for businesspeople or nerds who were into gadgets or very social young people who had to communicate with their friends all the time. like, the same kind of crowd who would have their own blog or be into tinkering with technology. i kinda felt like most normal people wouldn't be interested in a pocket computer & carry on using regular phones
