bought and started playing Cloudpunk because i wanted to watch a video essay on it and honestly, from the video title and based on the person that made the video, i don't know what i was expecting the game to be but i don't know why i didn't expect it to be a "existential dread under capitalism" simulator, this is simply too fucking much. like the game (so far) has some really good fucking writing and really good fucking pacing and really good fucking voice acting and a gorgeous world and great design and aesthetics but like my brain is simply shutting off trying to think about the implications like it's too much. talked to Teko and my brain just switched off trying to think about the implications. talked to Eveline and my brain started to think about the implications and i completely zoned out (not really but my brain was almost static at that point although i clapped when she said "don't tell me how to label myself"). rn i'm only a few deliveries in, i just gave Never-Slow Joe his drive converter and the moral dilemma the game presented was simply too much so i am. done for the day. that is a problem for another day.

#james talks #james plays stuff #cloudpunk #yes btw i delivered the bomb to its location idk what you want me to say. thought it'd be for like revolutionary purposes or something.#but clearly there is no revolution. there is only suffering. there is no mercy killing. we just fucking go on.#talked to Teko the second time and hearing about him and his friend in Tokyo made me wanna fucking bawl.#i did not expect this game to hurt my emotions like that #like jesus fucking christ this game HURTS #and that's not even the existential dread part of it #tbf i am running on low sleep so i am simply a little overwhelmed at the moment but i already adore the game #so thank you Sophie from Mars. ik your video will probably be great but even if it's not the game has already—#affected my life enough for me to be happy about getting it and playing it. i look forward to all the pain it is going to cause me.#also i expected the game to be a simple delivery simulator almost tbh. certainly not THIS. but i'm glad it is this.
