Ding Dong That fucking Bitch is dead

People say you should always say good things about the dead.

She’s dead. Good.

This was an interesting read. Surprisingly nonpreachy given the subject; and well worth the time.

This is oaywalled but it made me weep with relief to see an honest recounting for once, so I’ve saved some good bits:

Wolfs: "Harmonize with us, lil buddy!"

Husky: "I'm hearing you, and I'm listening. And its great! But lemme teach y'all about a little something we in the business call 'Lyrics'"

I 🫃 NYC

I hate movie sonic!!! I hate that he's an alien when in the games there's a great theme of nature fighting back against Eggman's industrialization! I hate that he constantly makes pop culture references, it's not funny and makes sonic way less charming as a character! I hate the weird copaganda of it all! Sonic shouldn't like cops!! I hate the sonic movies and you should too!!

Like do you not see this as a total bastardization of his character? He's been totally appropriated. This is who Sonic is going to be to a bunch of kids now? You look at old Sonic fighting cops and Paramount's like "uhh don't look at that, look at this sonic, that cop is his dad, don't worry about all that climate change stuff, just listen to another pop culture joke and look at Jim Carrey dancing." Fuck this

The Sonic movies definitely that MCU energy of initially coming across as a really good adaptation to non-fans who only vaguely know of the character but to actual fans they get everything wrong and can at best be seen in a similar way to like Sonic Underground where it's essentially a completely unrelated story with a Sonic skin

im a fan of sableye in just about any interpretation but i gotta give props to this card specifically for looking kinda like raz psychonauts for some reason

every sableye is voiced by Richard Horvitz actually

nothing fills my heart with more violence than the sight of a naked wrapping paper roll

this is how Cain killed Abel

in Disco Elysium I was expecting there to be some kind of “addiction mechanic” that would add a long-term downside to taking drugs, and was surprised not only by the absence of any such mechanic but also that the benefits of drugs greatly outweighed the cost. anyways fast forward to the late game and I was downing three bottles of pyrholidon and smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before attempting any check, and it was only then I realized there was in fact an addiction mechanic

honestly, i think this is why i like the way the game handles substances so much. when i was looking up playthroughs of disco elysium i stumbled across one subreddit thread where someone asked “gameplay wise, is there any point to staying sober?” and just looked at it. like, yeah. yeah, exactly. we know that harry often does drugs specifically so that he can take on a superhuman caseload - as he puts it to kim, to be a “really good detective”. it was so chilling to see a player asking the same exact question that harry would probably be asking himself. without an external punishment mechanic, without being heavy handed about it, and in a way that (as OP pointed out) is so natural as to be almost unnoticeable, it manages to put the player exactly in his shoes as a recovering (or not recovering) addict. it’s a really well-designed mechanic

“Things are harder without this substance, so there’s no reason for me to abstain” being a purely Player-Driven interaction is a phenomenal addiction mechanic. Absolutely fucking gorgeous.
