Anyways, AU, I think you would do just fine as a GM.
anyway lately I have wanted to play like a BattleTech campaign or something but the issue with that is that those games I never want to actually run them, I just want to be a part of them, and also I hate roll20 which is everyone's go-to for these sorts of things.

It's an urban fantasy RPG where you play street wizards who get their powers from visiting famous landmarks, or collecting rare books, or acting stupidly in dangerous situations
Like whatever bullshit story I come up with is going to be absolute trash.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the trick is that it's not your story. I mean, it can be, and illusionist/simulationist play is a totally valid direction. But that's hard. It's way easier to accept that isn't actually your story. It's the story of the players and their characters. Create NPCs with agendas that the PCs will care about, have the agendas connect to each other and set down conflict "powderkegs," and then just let the PCs run wild.

You can also play postmodern shamans who emulate archetypes to gain powers.

Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
The frustrating thing about trying to get inspiration for Chess Kung-Fu is that there are actually almost no references to Chess Kung-Fu in the Wu-Tang Clan's 'Da Mystery of Chess Boxin''.

He's right about Franzen, from what I can tell, but I find this sort of inconclusive rhetoric about the politics of art terribly unsatisfying. It comes off as pretentious because it winds up feeling like the essayist isn't building to a proposed solution or even some sort of revelation, but obscuring a "...so? ...and?" kind of point with a lot of maundering so it looks more meaningful and intelligent. He brings in Zink at the end, but it still feels like he's skirting around stating his agenda.
Additionally, it seems like he's dismissing Miéville for being a fantasist without actually saying it, which is ironic given the endless prattle about the baleful nature of American realism.

Also, doesn't defining a protagonist inherently necessitate them sticking out from the rest of the characters?
What's the solution this person recommends to both these things?
