How is she doing this

The Templers just being a few old men who just like hanging out is endearing. They fund raise and like go carts and skeeball. And even though it’s a fraternity, Herb tells Vesper if she just wants to play skeeball she’s welcome to come and do that. And when she displays sincere interest, he immediately sees it and accepts it. They’re grumpy and don’t like change but they do change because they believe the Templers are more important than some arbitrary rules. Also the one old man ensuring nonbinary people are included because his grandkid is nonbinary suggests he not only accepts them but is creating the opportunity for them to join as well. Maybe he hopes if they join the two of them will have the opportunity to spend more time together. Reminded me of my grandpa. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like someone just wanted to spend time with me more than him. He was the sort to call just to talk. Maybe I’m projecting but I like them.

jellyfish have to be kept in a round tank because if they're in a tank with corners they'll get stuck in them. I think that's beautiful. god's stupidest little plastic bags (affectionate)

and another thing about aloy horizon. i absolutely love the way forbidden west shows her discomfort around community with its gameplay, even if it wasn't an intended effect. the way the fov shrinks whenever you enter settlements, the much louder ambience and tighter corners, sounds you hear nowhere else in the world, the fact you can't run anywhere too fast without hitting things, the constant chattering. and then the way it all fades behind you the moment you leave, the camera zooming back out, the sigh of relief you experience because of it. all of this was present in zero dawn, but it feels so much more prominent here. the claustrophobia of it all makes you so much more single-minded whenever you're there, in the same way aloy probably is; just get in, get what you need, and get out. back into the wilds, where it's quiet and you can think. even the home base feels tight. you go there to check in on everyone, to make sure all your equipment is up to scratch, and then you leave. from a gameplay perspective you're really only ever there to tick off quest markers, and that disconnect feels very much like how i imagine aloy interpreting it. It's just very cool to have a narrative about learning to be closer to people when all the main character and the player wants to do is be alone in the wilderness.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

"explain your answer" no. i used a calculator, and i do not care about this class

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.
