kind of not ideal that the world economy is run by a cabal of pedophiles but also the two corporations that control all consumer spending think that if you jerk off you should be unbanked
god
i can’t get anything done cause my brain has this looping
it is, but Splatoon hid it way better by dropping you into a society that was already thriving. pokopia starts you from wasteland and wants you to build it and confront the ruins yourself so it's really hard to not think about it
the only hopeful part of this game seems to suggest that even though the current world is beyond saving, at least someone or something else might pick up the pieces and build another one eventually. i dunno if i can really handle that right now
i'm probably thinking too much about it and maybe the gameplay loop of building a town rather than just living in one simply isn't for me. and, again, might just be too depressed + anxious about real world stuff to play something that seems to believe the worst case scenario is an inevitability
the behaviors and stuff are all adorable but it just feels like a bunch of pets wandering around a wasteland thinking their people up and left them, hoping that if they make things nice enough, maybe they'll decide to come home. it's kinda crushing
pokopia is very cute and sweet and yet there is this horrible sadness at its core. lots of notes scattered around in destroyed houses from people who heard about "odd weather patterns" before it was too late.
strange how im finding the absolute tense horror of solo marathon less intimidating than the cute fun pokemon game. also finding it less bleak somehow??
something odd is happening where i start up pokopia for a few minutes, get like twelve requests from pokemon, see how messy everything is and feel like i need to clean it up, then immediately get stressed out and turn it off. am i too depressed for this game rn
god finding this is like stumbling across a buried USB drive in the woods. bizarre
surprisingly no! requiem is scary and fun but it’s a very familiar mindset for me, solo marathon is a kind of fear/exhilaration i’ve never felt in a game before so that’s probably why. i often end runs with my heart pounding
i’ve had dreams about marathon for the last few days. don’t remember the last time that happened with a game
my tinnitus is starting to sound like the UESC turret idle noise and i’m beginning to think playing like 25 hours of Marathon over the last few days may have had an effect on me

so international women’s day is the one that loses an hour, huh? Curious

good mix in the server this morning
so yes obviously i adore it
pokopia is a game that exists solely to inspire gay people to send screenshots of pokemon exhibiting cute behaviors to friends and say “look it’s you!”
pokopia screenshot, text box that says “You got a recipe for a gravestone!” with a close up on ditto’s human face, flat expression. a starry sky is behind them

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"
I'm so happy for her
Also just a goodra cause, belly
marathon is making me choose between the shell that's objectively better for doing solo runs and the shell that's the hottest and that's mean to me personally
might come from the unclear time commitment required for a game. like, a list of movies has a defined runtime and feels easier to process, but with a pile of games I have no idea how much of my life each one of them is gonna take. making the mental schedule feels more overwhelming with more unknowns
had my doubts about how a new live service game was gonna do until i saw multiple furries putting their sonas in Marathon gear and renders of selfcest between multiple Recon shells. they're gonna make it after all
