playing a game where romance routes are optional is so strangely stressful. just like real life, a character can say "wow, [player] gets me" and then the first dialogue option is to begin romancing them so i simply look away and pretend i didnt see that, for their sake

#videogame where romance interactions feel unfortunately realistic in that im not entering them.#but also bc they arent narratively forced upon the player. and idk what to do about that other than dodge every bullet. every single one.#me being like 'wow i really really like this character! i love this sweet freak!'#*dodges romantically interacting with them at every chance*#honestly. if one of the romanceable characters were a butch THEN i might. if only she were romanceable. if only if only #dummy posts #also good god. the game being all 'keeping your options open huh ;)? ' when you text both to dms and groupchat.#simply i think private socializing should be private and group socializing should be group #asking 'hows your brother doing?' is not groupchateable and also not romantic??? he almost died?????
