Game remakes that include a bunch of new accessibility features are all I care about ever.

“Do you ship...” Buddy I will ship almost anything if I think about it too long. I love love and situations

Mice and Murder is SO GOOD. I love how quickly the characters turned on each other as the story progressed.

Daisy knowing that Cottonbottom was alive the entire time and only revealing it to one-up and spite her ex was soooooo good, Rekha you mad GENIUS.

More porn games need to include rape.

There are high schoolers out there who have only ever read the censored version and don't even know what was cut out, why Yossarian really broke at the end.

I think a lot about the audiobook version of Catch-22 I checked out once that completely cut out any and all scenes related to a character raping and murdering a sex worker and the fact that it was clearly meant for schools but that censorship and "protect the children" narratives have resulted in the complete destruction of a story's culminating action and the only real explanation for all of the protagonist's decisions for the rest of the story.

I read Catch-22 casually as a teenager. I hated it until the moment I finished it, and then it became my favorite book ever. It wasn't assigned reading in class or anything and I didn't get an abridged copy. That scene and the characters' reactions were devastating and very painful to read but it they were also very honest about misogyny, whorephobia, and the way that good soldiers were prioritized no matter what they do and who they hurt.

It wasn't even especially graphic. Both the protagonist and the audience really only see the immediate aftermath as far as I can remember. But it was cut out because apparently just the acknowledgement of sexual assault is too much for high schoolers to handle and the entire story gets butchered because of that change.

I don't know why I'm thinking about this other than just unending bitterness.

I really love the use of texts in Mice and Murder and the letters in Coffin Run. They're such fun ways to share and keep secrets among the players and I hope we see more of that in future D20 seasons.

"There are 75 ghosts in this room right now."

"EVERYONE, LEAVE THIS ROOM AT ONCE, THESE INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR 75 SPIRITUAL FRIENDS MUSTN'T BE DISTURBED!"

Thinking about the Mice and Murder group deception check where exactly one person got above a 15 and they needed Brennan to roll 5 or lower

and he rolled a fucking 2. And they convinced a bunch of people that they were doing a séance with dozens of ghosts so effectively that one of those people guarded the door so that they wouldn't be disturbed.

I still can’t believe that three (3) different Lou Wilson characters have performed some type of surgery (Lord Aravis, Fabian, Gunnie) and none of them were Kingston Brown, an actual nurse

Fisherman, charging towards the angler at full speed: FISHY HERE FISHY FISH HEY FISH COME HERE PRETTY FISHY

Townspeople:

I know Derge has a story but it's completely gone over my head because I'm just so focused on fishing. I'm reading all the letters and talking to people and absorbing absolutely none of it because all I can think is "fish fish fish fish fish fish fi-"

I love when the protagonist is something Other, when they're just a bit off compared to other characters, disconnected from their world in some way, living on the fringes and never truly part of the lives that everyone else seems to have. This is because I'm autistic.

I did catch the Collector saying that he was as human as the Fisherman is though and that excites me ngl.
