every year the appleby horse festival faces existential threat and the same freaks who've chased travellers away with rakes are now up in arms that "our culture is being erased" or some shit. WHOS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, MARRA?!

ITS MAD RIGHT?! you learn so much about kellogg, the world surrounding him, his motivations, and THEN they have nick hint that kellogg is living on through him, and then NOTHING.

its also just like.. an appeal to "liberal society" of the independence of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. but then it accepts that the judicial should be all powerful and should supersede the other two branches? its nonsense. but i mean then so is its premise hey ho

i do still really like the game. but god it really doesn't know what it wants to be, and as a result its just all over the spot, and thats in both story beats and gameplay.

its genuinely maddening, like it looks like they know what a good game looks like, but they had someone telling them "no" the second they approached doing something interesting.

and god the memory sequence, imho, should be one of the best bits of the game, not the part of the game where people desperately try to skip through. like you should actually be playing as kellogg, rather than being this weird passive observer.

and if you didn't, he could just either tell you this stuff, or a story beat is that you'd have to capture him and put him into The Machine.

like i think it would hit a lot harder if you actually had a choice in whether to kill him or not. and then you'd actually feel some degree of guilt in his memory sequence if you did murder him.

i just remember a conversation with my old workmate who grew up in shanghai and she was genuinely gobsmacked by how non-functional everything is over here.

i spent SO MUCH time playing that game as a kid. i got so genuinely absorbed in it. i think its one of the earliest games where i remember every character, even incredibly minor ones, have names. and that got my mind RACING so much. like i wanted to know everything about them all.

just had to get these thoughts out because its been irritating me, and i've been seeing TONNES of "hamas is evil (don't think about how israel creates the conditions which require an armed militant resistance)" stickers around chorlton and of course its the slightly more well off falling for this

but i'm seeing this more and more, and i know that its going to appeal to the average liberal, because its a bit of a path-of-least-resistance argument.

they're now shifting to solely targetting hamas, and insinuating that they're the only ones to blame for palestinian suffering. i mean, they're not very good at it, because two clicks and you can see their profiles full of islamophobic and anti-arab hate posts.

several israeli officials have fully admitted that it was never about hamas. all removing them will do is remove one of the points of resistance of the palestinian people. and then they have nothing they can do to defend themselves.
