My friend who doesn't play dishonored sent me a post about it and I started explaining how funny the Abbey is cause the entire religion is "we're going to defeat God with math and music" and they went "sorry that God doesn't vibe with jazz"

Someone mod dishonored so the overseer music boxes play jazz

It's really odd, they're like an anti-religion but didn't fix any of the bad parts. I love it

one aspect of dishonored i am obsessed with is the abbey of the everyman because unlike many religious bodies, their intention is not to preserve or fawn over some benevolent yet potentially unproven or distant deity. no, their deity of choice is very much proven! and it is their life’s goal to not let his corrupting touch reach any citizen! and they do this with music and maths.

i fully believe that the Rat Grinders will be revived after all is said and done and that their deaths aren't permanent, which is why I personally LOVE how fucking brutal the Bad Kids were with them this ep. it really drives home just how one-sided the Rat Grinders' obsession with them has always been—they go into this ready for epic, cinematic, toe-to-toe combat, but the Bad Kids categorically Do Not have the time or the energy to get into their whole deal right now and drop them in like two rounds. fuck non-lethal damage, they need these assholes out of their way YESTERDAY. there's truly something so fitting to me about the battle-hardened Bad Kids having no patience for coddling the Rat Grinders when the world is actively ending. like yeah yeah, we can figure out who's actually evil later and bring you back to life, but everyone currently trying to resurrect a dead god is going in interplanar timeout right now while the grown up adventurers clean up your mess, sorry

Don't main targets not count towards your chaos? Chaos is like, bodies in the streets freak people out and spread the plague. Killing the Pendletons and the guy who would otherwise end up in the sewers and catch the plague is relatively low impact and I'm almost entirely sure the game doesn't track that for your ending. Low chaos Corvo can and should kill Lady Boyle so she doesn't end up imprisoned by her stalker for the rest of her life, please. Unless we get an actual decent third option in some future remake. Even a really well hidden one. /taps watch

But yes, game systems aside, non-lethal options are immeasurably worse. There's a reason they're all "neutralized" and only daud is "spared".

I'm gonna go have some feelings about that.

Like a low chaos Corvo is objectively crueler than high chaos. He didn't just spare his targets, he went out of his way to learn everything he could to ensure that he destroyed everything good about their lives. He gave them no mercy and felt no remorse, determined to make them suffer just like he and Emily are.

Killing is easy. Stab a man and he's dead and that's that. But Corvo forces them to live after tearing apart the foundations of their worlds, ruining them in every possible way, ensuring that they had no escape from the consequences of their actions and that they would never regain any sort of power or prestige or happiness again.

Compared to all that, a sword through the gut is a mercy.

Language divides and building bridges.

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

Heh. Callback.

Chris Pratt using his normal voice as Garfield meanwhile Robert Pattinson over here using his most fucked up gremlin voice to play a bird that you wouldn't even know it was him until you saw the credits

"If you would've just agreed to my terms, we could've avoided all of this nonsense!" "I agree to your terms." "But you're just so obsessed with… Hang on. What did you say?"

Finally. Some good fucking food

My only criticism is that they made him look too clean! Let him live his ratman life!

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Who wants to bet Peerless Cucumber has an entire fan base within the pidw’s fandom? Potentially even bringing in a portion of pidw’s readers who just want to enjoy shen yuan just loosing it in the comments.

Like sure, some of the fandom’s definitely there for the toxic masculinity and papapa, but I guarantee you there’s an entire section dedicated to gleefully watching the fandom sewer rat being feral.

Pandora AU good ending <3
