self-indulgent question because it's what I'm totally into lately, have you played Disco Elysium at all? It's got a lot of meaty literary thematics going on it feels like you'd be interested in.

Self-indulgence is always welcomed on my blog!!! That’s the whole point of it.

I have heard good things about Disco Elysium and I feel like (not checking duckduckgo) didn't a bloke who worked on the original Deus Ex work on it? (Melikes that one).

I like games that embrace game genre and cultivate their own literary conventions, and apparently DE does that, so it sounds interesting. I'm a big neo-noir/cyberpunk fan and I think that's probably where its peers are found. (I think some of my favourite games writing is anything Mr. Solas Dragonage-related, but he's a) extremely divisive and b) a very thin slice of the Inquisition experience, so he's not the whole game, though he may be for DA4... I think there's a lot of clever stuff they've done with him literarily and intertextually with trickster gods, as well as how he radically shifts as a character based on empathy and character decision).

On the other hand I think I was initially put off because I wasn't sure how much I felt like investing in a detective noir story at the time that has lots of themes of mental illness/dereality.

Generally I'm kind of behind on game releases, I play oldish games like Sims 2 and recently the original PC Black and White, also did a few playthroughs of Fable TLC, though these are all games I played way back when XDD (*sigh* sad mental illness time, it takes a lot for me to let myself do things that bring me joy (e.g. play video games) because I feel guilty about it so that's partly why I avoid games, that and I used to play with Dad a lot and I live very far away from home, so new releases would be more funner if he were around. Last game we played together was Breath of the Wild and the last time I was home around two years ago we sat on the couch with Mum and that was how my last afternoon before I left was spent XD).

I think my boyfriend would probably like DE actually... you just gave me a present idea :D thanks for that :D (he's the one who made me watch True Detective, so go figure his taste!) then I can make him play it and I can watch him play it (ahhh I miss doing that as a kid - I'm sure that's why I like watching speedrunners).

Okay even if I don't end up playing it I'm very pleased now XD thanks anon! Hope you're having a good day!

#seraphina's asks #restraining myself from mentioning old games #where is a game like Black and White today??#god games are basically dead #I picked the tiger on my playthrough and it's so fucking dumb (: it shits in the middle of the town centre and throws villagers (:#user: anonymouse

He went away for college with his girlfriend and eventually married her. He was barely in Nokia’s life and his wife now ex wife, forced him to stay out of Nokia’s life. She grew up with her white side of the family. Being the only dark one, she was picked on and set apart a lot. Her and her mother were kicked out her grandmother’s house and were homeless, lived in a woman’s shelter, then lived in a trailer with her mother’s boyfriend at 12, then they finally got their own 1 bedroom apartment. When she was 15/16 he took her mother to custody after his divorce and won custody over her because he had the money; being a surgeon. She moved to Miami to live with him and to live a better life, taking fun trips and having her own room.

How does (s)he feel about his/her family? She doesn’t like her maternal grandmother. She’s racist against blacks and thinks they’re dirty and did not forget to remind Nokia about herself and her father. She used to tell Tammy she was a slut for sleeping with a black man and having his baby. She called Nokia a porch monkey and little monkey. Called her a nigger whenever she was angry and drunk. Tammy and Nokia are close but they have their drifting moments. Nokia got her drug and alcohol habits from her mother. She used to buy her mother cigarettes and started stealing them to smoke with her friends. She started drinking alcohol because sometimes that was all there was in the house. They got high together a few times but Nokia got clean and her mother still struggles with her own addictions which she tries to hide but Nokia knows the truth. Nokia and Gael are now cooler than when she was younger and first moved in with him. She hated him because her grandmother filled her head with negative thoughts. She used to love when he came to see her or called her as a kid. She got older and realized he put his wife before her and hated him for it and the fact that she had to struggle growing up. They’re now in a better place because Nokia is learning how to forgive people and let things go.

How does his/her family feel about him/her? Her mother depends a lot on her. Since they kind of grew up together, being that she was young herself when she had her; they’re like sisters. Nokia’s father tries to do everything to keep her happy but shows his disappointment when she’s not happy with her. They both love her and she’s the only reason they’d ever come together but she never has asked them to, so they don’t see each other. They haven’t been in the same room in years.

Pets: None.

Where does (s)he live? Her father helped her get a small place but she’s breaking her lease because her boyfriend wants her to move in, so she’s living with him now in a really nice townhouse.

What is it like there? Enough rooms, beautiful from the outside, not much going on. Very calm atmosphere, quiet neighborhood.
