I can’t wait to find out if this is a “fuck Abbey Road” thing or an “I have reordered to favor production order over release order” thing.

It is a real oddity—one struggles to think of another genre with a rule about how the story has to resolve that’s so hard and fast that deviation from it renders a book no longer in that genre.

They're also (and I think this is pretty closely related to what you note) not the sorts of people who consume a lot of art, and thus fail to get the crucial thing about these things: nobody's breakup/family/hometown/whatever is interesting. It's the storytelling that makes it so, not the subject.

My interpretation was largely that Pharloom was in a sort of shutdown state that Hornet reawakens it from—hence the elaborate triple bell adornment on many of the benches, which does not suggest the kind of impermanence of the flimsy retractable ones. (But I also think Hornet’s deaths are diagetic)

For the most part those are some of the most diagetically inscrutable objects in the game: why on earth are they persistent afterwards?
I’ll grant you the per-use ones in the Citadel have that vibe though.

Actually come to think of it it’s weird how few of Pharloom’s benches have anti-homeless features.

I feel about Thanksgiving like I feel about Silksong: git gud, bitch.
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
