hey i just watched andy north's patho2 mod video and i have to ask what inspired the creation of smooth grief? i need to know all about him
(also you managed to get his dialogue to match the games writing so well!)

Thank you! It’s always great to see a smooth grief appreciator…
In 2020 I was playing patho2 on a bootcamped ~2014 MacBook Air which got maybe 5 FPS on a good, clear day. Naturally it had a lot of issues running the game (entering buildings took minutes of real world time in the door cutscene; I could frequently just sprint through walls before they loaded), and it sometimes used low-detail models in dialogue screens. For example, here’s an andrey that scared me enough to use faceapp to put a smile on him:

ALTThis kind of thing happening in-game gave me the idea of manually blurring images of Grief’s face to make him smooth, based on the assertion that Grief would have the roughest skin out of the Pathologic cast. Smooth Grief was born on June 14, 2020 with this photo:
ALTAfter that, I posted Smooth Grief edits occasionally under the tag #smooth grief sunday. The well of “unique images of Bad Grief” dried up after about two years, but I’m hoping they’ll return as Pathologic 3 content is released.
ALTWhen I figured out how to make installable texture/dialogue edits for p2, Smooth Grief was the only thing I genuinely wanted to implement into the game, so he got his own lore-compliant mod 🙂 which you can download and install on your Pathologic 2 for the low price of 0.
Had a dream that the Bachelor route of pathologic 2 came out and Daniil was SO small and SO angry that it was a gameplay feature… like his walking speed was abysmal but he’d walk faster if he got angry so ppl were finding ways to piss off npcs in conversation and timing it so that they’d just stop every now and then on their trek across town to argue with a drunkard and keep powerwalking
restarted the p1 bachelor playthrough I softlocked by being too much of a bitch (roleplaying accurately)
