This month's Exceptional Story is seeping into every single one of my brain wrinkles. Mr Fires. Godawful union busting loophole exploiting deal breaking Mr Fires. Cartoon villain walk practicing multiple villainous monologue per one single story sulking if it doesn't get a funky light machine for its collection Mr Fires. It's absolutely pathetic. It's unimaginably ominous. It's glorious. It's evil but not in the fun sexy way but it's trying to be in the fun sexy way but it's failing so hard. I love it. I hate it. I'm going to spin it around in a centrifuge and then throw it at a wall like a limp dishtowel. Mr Fires.

#fallen london #voidrambles #the ES is in my brain for other reasons too #mainly the utterly painfully realistic depiction of technology and progress and how much engineers and inventors are sold on the idea of #technology as a saviour，the perfectly logical but oh so wrong assumption that any unsolved problem is only unsolved because #no one has tried to solve it yet or thought of a good enough solution #the depiction of what happens when a person realizes the problem was contrived all along，that it might have even been solved before #but never in practice because the real problem was always with the people in power and not the lack of technology #with who benefits from keeping people in the dark #as a (disillusioned，sort of former) engineering student it just. ough. hits #and also reminds me that damn this game is Political #in so many ways that are applicable in places and times other than London 1899 #man i love this game. thank you failbetter #but also #i am grasping your horrid factory bat Firmly by the scruff of the neck #and i am swinging it around like a shotput #FIRES.
