Around the Long Fire 97: Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) part 10 "Loneliness Tears Cracks of Madness Even in Walls"
Description
We get to one of our favorite sections of the book we’d been eagerly seeing adapted, and then have Vtuber talk so long that it ends up taking up two whole segments. Also Em and Autumn get on a goddamn tear about the internet and how people spend their attention. It’s a bit of a gripe session, but hopefully people enjoy it.
Things Discussed: Vtubers, ADHD and scheduling, medical stuff and doctors appointments, self-destructive behavior and coping strategies, Gawr Gura, Vtuber chat 2, Jeff Gerstmann, Northernlion, the attention economy, recommending stuff, surprise Rick cameo, Eevee evolutions, Pokémon sleep, Pondering Pokémon,
Non-Autumn Zone: Hokuto and Kamiyama's Pondering Pootan, Proctoring Pootan, we totally forgot to talk about Chobits it was a long episode and we were tired. We’ll try to do it next week.
The opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute Lemper
