One of my favourite interactions so far. Thank you IPL for letting me bully antivaxxers in a video game

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

just saw a comparison of locations in pathologic 2 vs pathologic 3 and it’s kinda funny that dankovsky has all the bushes fenced off while burakh doesn’t

not even sure the fences exist. it’s a moral thing, dankovsky just believes you can’t walk through a bush so he imagines the fences there

meanwhile my man burakh would not give a single shit about it, he’s already halfway through

y'all i cannot even summon an apology for this one

Shoutout to my most memorable near death after leaving a conversation experiences so far!

Thinking about Pathologic 3 so far and struck by how subtly but notably the tone has shifted from 1 and 2.

The writing in Patho1 is a very cold, everyone and everything is pushing you away which works in service to that infamous alienating tone it has. Patho2's by comparison is actually a very warm, human game. A lot of people hated you, but many more cherished you, there's a much more intimate emotionality between even your enemies, so when people start dying it feels visceral, personal, like watching your hometown die in front of you - because You Are Artemy.

Patho3's thus far has been neither warm nor cold, but absurd (in the theatrical sense). The whole narrative is deeply unmoored from time, place, and consequence, we are everywhere and nowhere at once, at all times. As a result, so many interactions have this baked in futility, a base assumption that 'yeah, we know how this goes and we're fucked. Nothing to be done.' to it all.

Daniil's story is to fight against that; to resist the urge to buy into the absurdism so inherent to the world he's in and violently grab onto incoherent hopes. It's not defeatist, far from it, but, well.

It's Apathy and Mania.

The final, brilliant word on passive voice.

“She was killed [by zombies.]” <— passive

“Zombies killed [by zombies] her.” <— active

This is legit one of the best ways to identify passive voice.

you may think misogyny is good because it is made up of miso, which is delicious, and gyny, which is woman. and girl miso sounds great. but 👆 it is not girl miso

"Miso" is Greek for "hatred". "Gyny" is Greek for "woman" Misogyny literally means "hatred of women".

The word "misogyny" is always associated with the unnecessary hatred and abuse of women. No one ever thinks about this word in a positive light.

will you ever forgive me
