girls, video games, more girls

it’s cause you’re always chained to that damn radiator

talking like point-and-click game narration to the bugs in my room

you can't get out that way!

that's not very helpful.

maybe the open window will help.

try the open window instead.

bioware is so awful at making self-contained games that make sense on their own. like if i hadn’t played the previous dragon age games (namely da2 holy shit) i would’ve had no fucking idea what the hell was happening in inquisition because everything in the plot was just a callback to previous events

like with mass effect it’s more forgivable since the whole series is about the same protagonist game to game but if you play as a different person in each installment then there should be no confusion. you shouldn’t have to have played a dlc from a previous game to understand a critical plot point in the next game

half the plot in Inquisition was just shit from the previous games + tertiary material that’s barely ever mentioned or promoted and 70% of the players didn’t read

every day i wake up and remember that the anatomical symbol of love in Disco Elysium is the lungs. how we breathe love in, how we exhale it back into the world, how we can suffocate from the lack of it, how it expands inside our chests. and i want to cry a little bit.

thinking about how harrier du bois is inexplicably drawn to people who smoke. kim kitsuragi and the smoker on the balcony and klaasje and tommy le homme and they way they’re slowly killing themselves by killing their lungs and the way that love has been slowly killing harry. thinking about it way too much.
