*sighs* we sent four astronauts up and four came back huh

Were you expecting more?

five was the bare minimum for me

oh well. there's still the moon ghosts

thinking about skyrim sometimes feels like thinking about the maximally abstract idea of a video game

or like there's a level of abstraction that's akin to dream logic. there are puzzles that aren't really puzzles but just represent the idea of a puzzle being there. there is combat without any sense of skill or strategy, the difficulty numbers are just a test of enduring the same thing for longer. there are hundreds of quests of shapeless nothing, nakedly directing you to fetch or clear or kill.

it's seeing someone you know in a dream when they don't look like themselves. it's playing the video games they play on a nickelodeon sitcom in the 2000s. it's nonsense

My extremely controversial gaming opinion is that they should allow you to obtain meat in stardew valley and while I understand that the vast majority of people might not want to play with it I also think somewhat that the absence of any such mechanics in a farming simulator is a sign of broader disconnection and alienation from where food comes from etc

Like... you can already sell your animals! That's a thing you can do! You don't have to. But you can. What exactly would be the problem with having an option to, if you choose to, sell an animal to a butcher for a slightly lower price in exchange for a package of meat showing up in your mail the next morning?

started playing control and the game was already fun but got infinitely more fun when they gave me the option to force throw objects. more games should let you obliterate someone with a coffee pot flying at mach fuck
