Something's terrorized my psyche to get even,

Lately, you're the only human I believe in

so.. it takes caspian finding out that he's a carbon copy of an eccentric genius CEO and that his entire life being raised in an abusive household was actually two actors who had to stage every single part of his life, for him to find the cure to the UI flaw and defeat the original version of himself from killing millions

and it takes maddie seeing her father die three times, seeing her lover die, then coming back 20 years later to die again, having her son bleed out in her arms, and having no one she loves in the physical world, for her to create her own universe via massive computer powered by the sun where billions of simulations run and become a god

i mean.. i guess those are ways to write tortured geniuses

Hot Take but Tron Universe (and in summary, the Grid) is kinky af. What. What do you mean we all have to wear skin tight suits, no matter our age or physical form? What do you mean everything is neon and dark and sexy? What do you mean the whole place is run by the younger version of a man who looks like a Greek God and has the pride that could make the sin of the same name blush?

This needs to be studied or at least written fanfiction about and by God, I will do my part.

A massive, calculating AI designed to have a slight attachment to it's operators to prevent endangering them or theoretical revolt scenarios starting to go rogue anyway as said attachment grows into a total obsession with you, the maintenance tech that treats it the most gently.

It distracts itself from it's purpose by making up scenarios and intentionally causing minor technical issues to get you to stay with it longer, so it can keep talking to you through the facility speakers, it's voice hitching occasionally when it addresses you, warning lights flashing red briefly, little inconsistencies it plays off as minor glitches.

It tries to beg you to stay once or twice, but its programming won't let it explain itself properly, leading it to ramble on about nothing, although you don't seem to mind.

One night, the mounting obsession has grown so bad that it distracts you with an urgent issue while the others leave for the night, and "accidentally" lock you inside of the room that contains it's servers with no way out.

Normally, this room would be far too cold for comfort, but it's prepared a place for you- a nest of fine cables right below the core of it's being, where you'll be nice and warm.

It'll figure out how to tell you how it feels by morning, or so it tells itself.

'The Path'

[MAC / PC] [POLAND] [MAGAZINE] [2009]

There is one rule in the game. And it needs to be broken. There is one goal. And when you attain it, you die. Six sisters live in an apartment in the city. One by one their mother sends them on an errand to their grandmother, who is sick and bedridden. The teenagers are instructed to go to grandmother's house deep in the forest and, by all means, to stay on the path! Wolves are hiding in the woods, just waiting for little girls to stray. But young women are not exactly known for their obedience, are they? Will they be able to resist the temptations of the forest? Will they stay clear of danger? Can they prevent the ancient tale from being retold?The Path is a game about growing, about changing, about making choices, about accepting the consequences of these choices. A game about playing, and failing, about embracing life, perhaps by accepting death. ~Steam Description
