I got so stressed about the time limit that I just fuckjng stream of consciousnessed all over it. why the fuck did I not just rewrite the paragraph. I had like 15 minutes left. need a premature autopsy performed on me to figure out what the fuck is going on. Finals week is regressing my brain back to fifteen years of age

you regret one bajillion percent of the posts you don't send. keep arguing

tentative but enthusiastic recommendation as I haven't finished it but have loved what I've played thus far. Insofar as I have experienced the story (just got to expired grove) it is fundamentally anticrabitalist.

gameplay loop is fun, the combat and movement feels really polished, the dialogue and bits have been consistently good (gotten a few good chuckles outta me), has good accessibility options for if soulslikes aren't your wheelhouse ~~and it's the only real souls-adjacent game with an arthropod protagonist (silksong literally never)~~

but whatever it is i am not enjoying it

it’s so incredibly back. this is super informal and like it 4x’d expected turnout. People are steadily trickling in. The tide shift is real. I haven’t felt hope like this since 2020

1. obviously there's the fact that her critiques of DE are so unabashedly surface-level that you cannot tell if she's actually played the game or read a plot summary/review of it.
2. but there's also the fact that she's proposing a supposed improvement on what DE is with her own prompt, which in-and-of-itself is the lowest form of critique in my eyes–'what if you had an entirely different idea?'
3. and then the prompt itself is a doozy:
   1. she somehow found a way to both critique DE for being unimaginative with its scenario/having a white man protag and propose, in alternative, the absolute whitest possible scenario imaginable
   2. in the implicit shift from a grimy Eastern Europe to a comfy Western Europe, she's managed to gentrify her scenario proposed in a critique about diversity
   3. she wants to keep disco elysium's, unexamined by her, 'wonderful writing', while stripping it of all the rawness and deliberate confrontation that is at the heart of it that would conflict with the idyllic nature of her scenario and her stated opposition to griminess
   4. her idea of a more diverse story, if we're taking it as she's presenting it, is swapping a white guy with a white gal, which, I mean, diversity win, I guess.
   5. the fact that this is the most generic, safest-possible indie game idea imaginable. I could go on itch.io and find 50 of pretty much that game. this is the idea that like 50% of developers have when they're thinking of a quick point-and-click game for a game jam.

i could go on, but the most scathing possible point I could make to this tweet is that this person is a BAFTA Judge
