Escapism: Clair and Obscur
Analyzing Expedition 33's story in relation to escapism, separating art from the artist, and generative AI technology.

When media hits deep, I reflect and write in private.
This time, I'm sharing my thoughts publicly.
In this essay I analyze E33’s story in relation to escapism, gen AI partners, and separating art from artist.
I hope you all enjoy reading, and share.

I'm enjoying Final Fantasy 4, but annoyed of how many airships you have to manage.
Ideally, you'd have one ship that gets upgraded over time to sail water, fly over lava, etc.
But instead, you get separate ship for each terrain...which means having to keep track of 4 different ships.

Still early in Kingdom Hearts 1, but the vibes I get from Sora, Riku, and Kairi is a similar to Team 7 from Naruto.
Sora = Naruto
Kairi = Sakura
Riku = Sasuke
Curious to see how things develop further in the plot. 👀

One of my best friends graduated med school, but I couldn't attend his graduation. So I treated him to some spicy prawn noodle soup while it rains today. 😌

Goofy uses a shield to fight in Kingdom Hearts aka he's the Captain America of KH. 🤔
This is my Goofy impression of him saying "Gowrsh, that's America's ass right there!" 😏

I started streaming seriously this year so I could play games and share my enjoyment of lore analysis with others.
With my last stream of 2025, I hit 208 followers and finished numerous games.
Thank you to everyone who always kept me company in chat. I'm excited to continue this journey in 2026!

Final Fantasy 4 has one of the darkest starts I've seen in a Final Fantasy game, let alone RPG.
The game quite literally starts off with the protagonist Cecil Harvey leading an army and massacring civilians, albeit reluctantly.
Damn.

Expedition 33 made me want to learn French.
Xenogears made me want to learn Japanese and Hebrew.

I wish the tech existed where I could input a data chip into my neural interface and be completely fluent in these languages.

I remembered this and wanted to give a massive shoutout to @mightymog.bsky.social, one of the first friends I made back on Twitter.
I started this Resident Evil marathon because Mog gifted me the entire series on Steam and told me to play it because they were too scary for him at the time. 😌

6 months ago, I returned to streaming regularly after a break, and started a Resident Evil marathon that night. I wasn't sure if I'd finish before the end of the year or not.
As of today, we have completed every single RE mainline game on stream. Thank you to all those who supported me. 😌

Despite my frustrations, I completed SOMA on Normal!
Since I've read many classic and transhumanist sci-fi stories, I saw the ending in SOMA arriving from a mile away. That said, I'm glad to see more games explore these philosophical topics.
Really excited to see the devs' next title, ONTOS.

SOMA has amazing visuals with some deep exploration of transhumanist philosophy. The game starts with a Philip K. Dick quote.
But God, are the stealth elements kinda frustrating. And the worst part is you can't activate the Safe Mode mid-game. 😭
