#now that we're back in the present time

I think about the tapes so often the badass dialogue they use to build tension in 46 the storytelling of both Vanessa's past with abuse and showing it still affecting her and her STILL being abused by glitchtrap/mimic and actually truly for real showing that on screen canonically in a game. steel wool having the chance to put in love and effort into the writing of the human characters. the vanessa tapes being about her but also being about showing GGYs progress keeping everything under wraps and how powerless vanessa is to stop him or vanny or glitchtrap. the 46 tapes giving us cute little information about Rabs character and being so sinister with great voice acting and great writing in the dialogue to tell all this information like GOD. I miss the tapes sooo much I want them to come back so bad they were some of the only surviving actual writing from SB and I know steel wool is still capable of cooking like this. they just havent gotten the chance!!!!!

I understand why they didn't introduce Michael in the past but I think we needed more people suspecting MC was Not From Here™, they should have played More with the idea that anybody could unmask MC/Solomon true motives and Michael already knew, It would have been better for him taunting MC with the idea of telling the truth to everyones else unless they stop making pacts with the brothers (Bcuz y'know, thats what Nightbringer wants, Right? And whatever he wants must be... Not good?)

In earlier seasons the tease the idea of two Rings of Light existing in the same timeline, can you imagine the interactions?

Michael: Wow MC! that's a pretty ring you have there!

MC: ... Yeah...

Michael: It looks identical to the one I have here, see? *Flashes His own Ring of Light to MC*

MC: Ah... *Gulp*

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

people love to come at kaidan and ash for comparing shepard to a husk on the mission on mars in me3 and yeah there's no point of denying that they put it in a very tone-deaf way but. what they witness here is genuinely terrifying from their point of view.

shepard is a person they care about. they're their commander, in some cases a friend or a lover, someone they look up to. and they died. and they were brought back by the terrorist organization that's known for its inhuman experiments. and now it uses reaper technology and makes husks out of its own people. from kaidan and ash's perspectives this is literally "came back wrong" scenario. they look at this cerberus soldier with innatural pale face full of reaper implants and then at shepard and can't help but wonder if there's a ticking bomb somewhere inside them. if one day they'll wake up and say there's no point to fight the reapers and look at their crew with shallow blue eyes.

like. they don't intend to dehumanize shepard. they're fucking terrified of the possibility that shepard has already been dehumanized by the people who recovered their dead body to rebuild it and ressurect them in secret for the goals of an indoctrinated man

maybe i should have gone into practical effects instead of computer science...

I think the funny thing is that worship teams, in my experience with pretty chill nondenominational churches, tend to have weirdly specific ecosystems. the vocal leader and the keyboardist are best buddies. sound techs and visual techs tend to have beef, for whatever reason. backup singers and/or vocalists who don't play an instrument usually need a confidence boost. sound techs and the rhythm section are basically telepaths with each other. the drummer is always a goofball. the visual media tech is all but all-knowing. everything is held together by duct tape and prayers.

been having a bit of a hard time lately and the hits just keep coming because today our family friend that's staying with us, his wife got into a car accident

she's okay, thank god and so were the other people but they had to tow her car and she was really shaken up understandably

everyone's okay now but just...jesus christ, dude

also, i know i've been absent on here lately but i'm still around, just going through it. eventually i'm gonna get an actual break and will return in full but for now i'm just going to cross my fingers the rest of this year can be a little more gentle

There’s a way to handle the Hat Discourse(tm) and it’s this: stop assuming that characters are their appearances and acknowledge the game’s context. You do not need to downgrade the meaning of such a thing to ‘something Ouma took without thinking about it’ for it to, you know, not represent him as a person.

Besides that Ouma is presented in game as pretending to be a villain, as a means to an end, he very likely has to deal with actual dystopia and fascism in his real life if he ‘roleplays as the villain’ even in DICE. It could be a game if you want, but consider that this group was presented as having a strict No Kill rule, stuff you’ll see in groups such as resistance or other dangerous missions organisations that warrant confronting the possibility of killing. Basic common sense suggests that clown troupes do not need a No Kill rule because that is not the case there- take Rui Kamishiro from Project Sekai for instance, he pulls a whole lot of dangerous stunts, ones that could be a danger to life, but he’s a performer so he’s not going to implement ‘no killing’- because no shit, what kind of performer even considers killing as part of an act??

Look. I’m getting so, so tired of people acting as if using a surface level read of things will just evaporate the discourse on it. No. It won’t, and frankly that is the attitude that only makes the issue a hundred thousand times more frustrating. The whole thing becomes this nebula that everyone’s too afraid to talk about, which is not a sustainable way to handle this matter at all, especially when everyone and their dog is forcing the view that Ouma’s group are clowns.

i think a lot more ppl need to get comfortable with the fact that some ppl self describe as ugly not as a way to tear themselves down but as an acknowledgement of the beauty standards that exist and how, even with "expanding" the definition of beauty, we still Do Not fit into that expansion and NO amount of expansion of beauty ideals is going to change that.
