i actually don't have a whole lot of interest in playing a bad guy in video games

i mean, i do "dark side" playthroughs of video games where moral choices and shit result in different story and content

renegade playthroughs of Mass Effect, sith playthrough of Kotor II, etc.

but if a game basically asks me to play as an amoral bastard, i don't have a huge amount of interest in it

SR2 is sort of a weird exception because it's cartoonishly goofy

pony i want you to play nier so badly

actually i want everyone to play it, but you especially

i want to see how you two react

i want it to be the baking soda in the papier-mache volcano of your mind

he will post about six or seven posts musing about it

the first one will be a reply to someone

the rest will be thoughts that occur to him several moments later, in succession, addressed to no one in particular, expanding and nuancing his previous statements

oh no my posting style revealed

so i played nier- interesting game

i'm not sure how i feel about it because i had a stroke as the game entered its denouement, but it was pretty interesting

Pony wrote:

oh, you played nier? yeah, i just finished it, like i was saying last night

thought about it some more, still not sure how i feel

Pony wrote:

given it some thought since a few minutes ago, actually

it has all of these intimatios about fear and its root in the people around you, and- guess what- i don't like that!

i'm a guy who's been around scary people, and who's even been a scary person at times, for a long time

i am not comfortable with this game bringing those things to the forefront so casually, and i won't be replaying it

Pony wrote:

hey

guess what

i didn't say you couldn't like it

i don't know why my statements are always twisted- i wasn't even arguing!

guess what, sometimes i express my opinions strongly, i can't control reactions

oh boy, big surprise

also, it occurs to me that the game had shitty music
