just got a dualsense to have a controller paired to the TV that’s running Playstation remote play for when I want to play a PS4 game in the bedroom, because for some reason it works with either a PS4 or PS5 controller but nothing else, and I didn’t want to have to move my PS4 controller. the dualsense was on sale for $50 so technically I now have even more miscellaneous technology on hand solely to maximize my PS4 use cases

On my running route there is a path around a huge property that leads to the park I run around that is basically a really long desire path, at the bottom of the hill there is a huge mud pit that you have to run through - well several people have been leaving treebranches for people to use as a makeshift walkway over the mud and every time I run over it I do a mental “Like” sound effect from Death Stranding.

the oddest thing about undertale’s writing is the invocation of two distinct “creepy” flavours, namely the cold psychopathic genocide/flowey/chara stuff and the cryptic paranormal true lab/gaster stuff, and i’m not sure which one is meant to emotionally eclipse the other. genocide ends with you wiping out the entire game world, but the gaster hints transcend game boundaries (i.e. continue in deltarune) and some are inaccessible without hacking; both break the fourth wall copiously. it’s a thing i’m left hanging on when i try to reflect on what to ultimately take from the game

The genocide is fourth wall breaking too, it does explicitly end with you wiping out the entire game world, down to replacing the identity of your in-game body with your own, and down to expecting to get away with it scott-free even though the game’s been emphasizing how that wouldn’t be a thing, underlining just how much being a completionist is being a harmful parasite to the game’s story.
Sadly all that came out of it for the community is “wow isn’t chara just the coolest”.

yeah, i meant to include it with “both”. also broke the wall of every other RPG, since chara is supposed to be “the feeling when number go up”

I’ll admit I was sad I didn’t inspire 20 posts of furious debate because I was wrong/right about this.

The intro of Deus Ex Invisible War is the first time I’ve heard of the concept of an “academic distinction”. Now, every time I’m in a situation where I realize that, even if I prove one of two possibilities is the true one, it won’t make any difference on what action needs to be taken, it’s that scientist 20 seconds away from getting turned into grey goo dust that pops up in my mind. Thank you dead scientist who was responsible for some of the most reprehensible transhumanist research done in a work of fiction.
