So heres the thing about Dredge.
I think its a huge missed opportunity that the main character is the husband and not the wife.
the backstory doesnt come out fully until the end, but when it does, what you learn is this:
some amount of time ago, the player character was married. over the course of the game, you pick up notes from a woman, and at the end you learn that she was your wife.
*was*, because Cthulhu ate her.
you were a fisherman, and obsessed with the ocean, and she was not. you were superstitious, and she was not. And one day, she messed up and did something unlucky, and then she was lost at sea one night when she was on your boat.
it fucks you up so bad that you lose all your memory and end the world trying to save her.
so, obviously you're torn up about her, but also, it kinda didn't have anything to do with you. She fucked up and she got got. whoops! Oh well. It also didn't change very much about you: you're still a superstitious fisherman obsessed with the sea, except you're sad now.
But if you were the wife? If he died instead?
you were happily newlywed, but if you had one issue with your husband, it was that he was too married to the sea. He was too obsessed with fishing. He liked his boat too much, and he had all these sailor superstitions that you don't take seriously.
then one day, you ignore his superstitions. and a horrible eldritch force that you've never even dreamed of KILLS HIM.
your husband is DEAD and it is YOUR FAULT.
and it breaks you. So much that you take his boat, set sail, and spend your life at sea. Just like him. Embroiled in superstition and ocean magic. Just like him. Just like your least favorite parts about him. and you spend the rest of your life trying to undo the horrible thing you did, and only ever manage to end the world.
wouldn't that be so much fun?
#dredge#dredge spoilers#dredge game#i like this game but i do really think this would make the story more compelling#the inciting incident of the game... in the end it just doesnt have a lot to do w the main character and i think thats a missed opportunity#and ok its not like the backstory is that hugely important to the experience. it comes up very little until right at the end#but i think it could be *tastier*#for the void#ngl i first wrote this post like a year ago and every few months i come back and completely rewrite it#so im dusting it off and posting it finally since im clearly not going to stop thinking about it

Jfc i just learned that Google maps and Google earth changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America even though they didn't have to follow Trumps executive order because they are not apart of the federal government (the federal gov are the ONLY departments/people who have to follow the E.Os) DO FUCKING BETTER GOOGLE
#rated both apps one star and pointed it out 🙄🙄#is that gonna do much? no. but i'm fucking annoyed#pretty sure this is only a change for americans#google#google maps#google earth#cyanbug thoughts#for the void

anything exciting happening in your life latelyyyy!
Oh anon… there’s about a million things happening for me
I’m finishing my degree, so I graduate soon
I finally found out where I’ll be continuing my training, so I now know when and where I need to move for the next few years! But that means a whole new city, whole new program, all new people, new house, new everything. It’s exciting but also sorta overwhelming. I have a lot to do for my contract and moving and everything.
I’m also going to try to take a holiday before everything starts in earnest, so I’m trying to plan that, as well.
Lots of changes for me! That’s what was happening when I was in a funk a few weeks ago- I had just found out and was really stressed. And I’m still stressed but I’m a bit more used to it now, and have a bit more of a solid plan for how to deal, but yeah.
Turning my whole life upside down in the next two months or so. No big thing!

Just finished Flannery O’Connor’s soul-stirring masterwork, Blood Wise. I’m floored! Just some quick thoughts on some of the main and secondary characters:
•Hazel is beyond redemption, but I still internally weep for him
•Enoch scares me, I’m sorry
•Sabbath is such a tragic product of her environment and I ache for her
•Asa is a deadbeat and a fraud
•Mrs. Flood is just opportunistic and sad
•Onnie Jay Holy is an excellent send-up of hucksterism
•Poor Leora; I have very little to say, but I can’t forget about her
Finally, an underrated hero of the story is Maude, the waitress; she’s just deliciously witty and I love her.
With all that said, I’m also itching to finally start Blood Meridian, but I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. Apparently, Blood Wise was adapted to film in 1979 and I’ve heard great things about it so I’m super excited to watch that first.
