yeah i know what's up with mouthwashing now. I get the hype the story was really good.

have some thoughts so, spoilers for the game under the cut if you haven't played or seen it yet.

The OCs/sonas for workers is really funny though because a part of Daisuke's character is that, in the case of any reason they'd need to use them, there's only 4 cryostasis pods. but you guys are like "hmmm but what if there was only 4 cryostasus pods for 6 people? 🤔" which is funny to me. not a gripe or anything just funny to think about.

But that made me think of how Daisuke coming on as an intern in last minute placement was 1) part of the half assed job PonyExpress does with it's safety measures. and 2) part of Curly's character of taking chances on people even if that's NOT a good idea. because that's probably part of why he was friends with Jimmy so long and ended up actually enabling a lot of his shit head behavior (and trying to lessen the impact of what he did to Anya while they still had a long trip to take). like man the character dynamics and what brought everyone here to be a part of the shitshow was really well written.

the original idea for making a mouthwashing post is this though: I can make the whole thing very slightly even worse. "how?" you ask, "why?" you ask. well because i'm evil-ca-neevil like that. but specifically, Curly's hearing is deffinitely affected by the accident, his ears are as good as gone under the bandages on his head, because if his nose didn't really make, there's no way the ears did. but, what if on top of that, his eardrumbs burst. what if, for the entire time after the crash, he couldn't hear anything that happened around him; and was only really aware of whoever was in the medbay? he'd just have the way people's faces appear when they look at them or each other. if they say anything to him he'd have no clue unless they were looking at him while doing it. and I'd bet he's shit at lip reading.

the scene of the mock birthday party that Jimmy put together and put him on the table would be even worse. because that would be the only confirmation that everyone else is dead (he'd know Anya's death.

like, if he can hear, then the proximity between the scene where Daisuke is injured and the medbay would give him some of that, as well as whatever we miss between Swansea and Jimmy after the fact. but without being able to hear anything. he doesn't even get to have thoughts and opinions about how everything's happening. he can only, truly, watch. and not very well at that.

Okay sorry the longer I think about it the more bizzare this trailer becomes to me? This is your reveal trailer for a game that people have been anticipating for nigh on a decade? A meet the gang trailer with not a single piece of information about the world of your ROLE PLAYING GAME???? What??? It's an rpg, of course there's gonna be a gang. But why??? WHY is there a gang? What is going on in the world that requires a gang?? Why would that not be the first piece of information you'd want to get out there? Why do I still not know the basic premise of this role playing game??

Have you read...

note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Similarly, if you’ve never heard of a book until now but formed an opinion from this post, you may wish to select a “no” option e.g., “No, but I want to.”

Dorothy Daniels has always had a voracious - and adventurous - appetite. From her idyllic farm-to-table childhood (homegrown tomatoes, thick slices of freshly baked bread) to the heights of her career as a food critic (white truffles washed down with Barolo straight from the bottle) Dorothy has never been shy about indulging her exquisite tastes - even when it lead to her plunging an ice pick into her lover's neck. There is something inside Dorothy that makes her different from everybody else. Something she's finally ready to confess. But beware: her story just might make you wonder how your lover would taste sautéed with shallots and mushrooms and deglazed with a little red wine.
