VNs i remember playing and how they made me feel:
• Va-11 Hall-A: like i had cool cyberpunk friends
• Heaven Will Be Mine: terrified, horny
• We Know the Devil: massive nostalgia for summer camp
• Ladykiller in a Bind: confused, horny, also flashbacks to when i used to get constantly mistaken for my brother by my family and friends
• Dream Daddy: my smugness over having the best daughter transcended gender and orientation
• 2064: Read Only Memories: like i had cool cyberpunk acquaintances who might have become friends if we had not had to babysit constantly
• Coffee Talk: like i was playing Va-11 Hall-A but not as long or good and also set in the Shadowrun universe for some reason
• Mass Effect: productively horny, extremely well-armed
• Sunless Sea: tense in a good way, frustrated by slow boats and broken economy in a bad way, THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN
• Night in the Woods: overwhelming sense of relief about not having grown up in Pennsylvania
• Stardew Valley: farming minigame constantly got in the way of my bucolic cottagecore lifestyle
• Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty: frustrated by limited romantic choices but still worth playing both routes
• Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm: stuck in loveless marriage that nobody can get up the maturity to end
• Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void: i'm actually not 100% sure this was a VN
A twitter post by @ Sotherans:
"I bought another book"
- transactional
- people will ask if you REALLY need more books
- reminds you of your bank balance
"I paid a terrible price for this knowledge"
- classy Faustian vibes
- intimidating
- implies all books are priceless treasures. which they are.
Reading "Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race"
Barely into this and it's already talking about the experience @Are0h mentioned multiple times.
I am not surprised at all.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
