hi there!

replaying the mission where you go bear hunting with Hosea is so depressing; Hosea genuinely believes that they only need one big score for things to calm down and for them to even settle down if they wanted to.

started playing Overwatch 2,

A neat detail I noticed is that Dutch's betrayal paranoia is already hinted at in the opening cutscene of the game; in the end of it he gives a speech to the gang before he heads out with Arthur, in it he gives the gang instructions and ends it with an emphasis on the sentence "stay with me", which sure, can be just shrugged off since he's their leader, but in my opinion it happens too frequently to just be a coincidence. (a good example is Who The Hell is Leviticus Cornwall, I linked my theory about it here)

I went ahead and touched grass for a while,

I don't know how but I've never realised that the names of locations are actually written in game;

The dialogue in the beginning of the quest "Revenge is a dish best eaten" always seemed a bit odd to me; it starts out with Dutch making fun of Bill's army experience which causes Bill to gets defensive and criticise Dutch. What strikes me as odd is that Dutch changes the subject, he chooses to dwell on Bill's comment about the native americans, using it to paint Bill in a negative light and go on a rant. It happens again later in the conversation; Arthur asks Dutch if they're ready, but Dutch ignores the question and fixates on the beginning of Arthur's sentence instead ("don't you ever leave love aside"). he never actually replies to Arthur or Bill and it feels like he's deflecting.
