disco elysium does a good job of filtering out the 'alpine witch' cozy crowd by showing us, before anything else, a mostly nude bloated alcoholic man groaning to himself on the floor. and also you have to be him, and also if you do a bad job of grabbing your necktie off the ceiling fan then your heart gives out and you get a game over. like it's such a beautiful and intelligent game, but I wonder if part of the universal praise it gets is from that highly vocal section of the populace getting yucked out at the start. or maybe I'm just stupid and overthinking things

this is why Dream Daddy got cancelled for having a canned halloween plotline, while in Disco Elysium you get to walk around in a jacket with piss f*ggot sprayed on the back and everyone loves it (rightfully, it's a really good jacket)

Watching someone play the 2009 Portal 2 Beta and the Space Core is instead the Aquarium Core. And he posed the question as to which is more autistic And I genuinely have no fucking clue. That's a hard question. Space or Aquarium?

Trying to fight the urge to give a character in my VN a dedicated "Sneed!" voice grunt Like it really isn't needed and she'll probably also only say it a few times but also she's a 4tranner and it's such a funny fucking word. "You're too happy about being trans and I'm gonna insult you for that"

One of the things that also pisses me off is that in a vacuum, this technology is value-neutral. It's development in conjunction with the profit motive is what causes the worst aspect of it to manifest. The problem is not the technology itself, but is and has always been Capitalism.

Sometimes I remember someone I used to look up to on the internet like ten years ago and I look at their profile and they've transitioned (and since I last looked like a year ago also graduated uni and now work at NASA????) Anyways if anyone knows how to contact Scratch's RacingAce lmk

My mind will just lock onto phrases that have good scansion and then I get frustrated when I don't have anything to do with them "I am EVeryTHING you THINK you SHOULDn't BE" has been knocking around for like a year, with variations like "wish you wouldn't" or "thought you couldn't"

Discourse on junior devs? I have no input, I'm entirely self-taught and started making games when I was 14. I think it'd be good for my peers if there were junior positions but... I don't really want to work under others? Hire young people. Not me tho bc I work on my own (tho pls fund my games)
