i also love that when you go up to him he's muttering something about wanting to tear the inhuman monsters responsible for remire limb from limb and then he's like oh what did you want sorry? something about a dance?

oh it’s a completely nonsensical choice strategy wise but it does result in some of the funniest dialogue in the game. i imagine they just want to see him jingle

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

(pretty significant patho spoilers lol idk if any of you care about that but warning anyway) this kind of gets me... he's my responsibility...

tragedian: oh! then i apologize profusely... you are definitely not a doll, but that seems to be unhelpful for our hero now. he is humiliated, crushed, but most importantly he is deprived of the power that we all hoped for. by the way, are you still willing to take responsibility for him?

bachelor: yes, he is my responsibility. i will stay with him to the very end. his words shall be my words. his deeds shall be my deeds.

bachelor: both my heart and mind are strong enough.

bachelor: the more i think and do, the faster i die? that's symbolism if i ever saw it.

This is a good post about its specific subject and a great post about how to do anything cool on game production deadlines without having it get cut (being very intentional about where you drop the quality bar)

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

every time i post something pretty stupid on here i hope you’re all like “ohhhh i bet she just came from staring unsuccessfully at a wip for a while and is doing this to cope.” and then you feel sorry for me<3

it’s so strange i cannot even imagine anything lower stakes than how someone chooses to play a video game!! no one is making you watch this!!

it’s sooooo bizarre to me. like the guy i’m talking about here is VERY good at games but still clowns on himself when he does badly. then people in chat are legitimately mad at him for missing some little thing on the map or not finding a secret immediately ??? like where does this energy come from?

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

sometimes i think about getting into streaming or at least playing around with it but then i’ll be watching one of my fav streamers, who is nice and inoffensive and very good at gaming, and see his chat get SO hostile for NO REASON and i’m like man i just could not handle that

this is a kind of perverse fandom, where haters follow the every utterance of the sin-eater and broadcast it as if it is critical breaking news. some of them become obsessed with the details of the sin-eater's personal life, or become experts on their personal and professional history.

Social media is very effective at creating sin-eaters. A sin-eater is different from an ephemeral main-character. It's a recurring "well would you look at that guy" person you see screenshotted on your feed constantly, who is meant to stand in for the evils of some larger group you dislike
