The older I get, the stayer I home.

Hate Hate Hate stories that reward characters for refusing to do triage. 'I refuse to choose only one to survive even if it means both die' [plot contrives for this to be the only way both survive] is so weak. Making difficult decisions with no good outcome is not a moral failing

#it's boring! make them make a choice and deal with consequences!#if you want to write a story that doesn't have those stakes then you literally don't have to introduce the stakes#you made those up. the circumstances which presented them with that difficult choice was your doing#if you're going to take them to that place then do something interesting with it! otherwise you can just not make them go there! @coquelicoq oh these tags are GOOD

It's bad when the narrative hands them a cop out that means they don't have to deal with the ramifications of their decision. It's cool when they have to come up with a third option on the fly by assembling whatever Chekovs Gun the writer has secretly been building without you noticing.

there are many fat gay women which is basically awesome

clap. clap for fat gay women

I love DA2. The shitty graphics. The horrible gameplay. The story so unavoidably devastating and beautiful and horrible. Everyone hates each other. Everyone loves each other. You’re constantly filling the streets with bodies and there are no ramifications for this. There are ramifications for everything you say and do. Everyone’s bisexual. There’s a dragon in the mine. You lose everyone and everything you love and care about and it’s inevitable. Isabela gets an STI at one point. Merrill is a blood mage. You go from rags to riches to going on the run. You have a dog. You set your friend up on a date with the guy she likes. You hunt down a serial killer who takes the last member of your family away. Your doctor friend is possessed and loves cats and commits domestic terrorism. You have no control. You control everything.

Stardew valley is problematic because it forces you to have an outside cat in a threatened woodland environment

"rocky would hate stratt because she hurt his bestie" plausible, even likely. "rocky wouldn't hate stratt because he understands the stakes of needing to save the actual world" nuanced, intellectually stimulating. "stratt would hate rocky because her ex wife whom she killed is happier with him" intriguing, avant-garde.

#7 billion fucking people on earth weren't enough but you'll die for the alien. sure. no yeah. sure.

Guys maybe someday I'll finish and post fanfiction again. That was a fun time. When I was doing that.

i'll forever miss how the internet felt before you had to second-guess the authenticity of every single piece of media you came across. silly videos used to be just silly. fun was coincidental. wonder was just wonder. digital art had character and soul. AI has taken the taste out of everything and irreversibly poisoned the creative sphere and the people still pushing it forward are the doom of both joy and the quality of being.

good LORD the piss is flying all over the place in that comment section! If you're poor do NOT leave your house you're definitely gonna get caught in the crossfire.

I hate ruminating on what could have been. Out here thinking "if only I locked in when I was 13" are we serious
