Squalidarity

let's finish the job.

the suburban hell which spawned the rest of suburban hell. we have to go back in time to kill Robert Moses.

Despite everything, it's still you.

The lowest on the food chain, prey among prey. But hand her a needle sword and a button shield and let her show her bravery. "I, I wanted to have courage, and fight to protect what I loved! W-was I brave? You'll say I was brave, right...? Th... thanks for watching my dream."

see you later

Abortion on demand, over-the-counter HRT, half or more of all political positions filled by women, no rapists ever allowed to hold authority ever again. These are moderate aims; they are ours to win. The 21st century will be remembered as the century of women. See you all in 2040 CE, or as I like to call it, 1 PY (post-yurification).

Everyone should consider it. I'm serious. Yes, you too. Really think it over, at least once. Find your own name, and your own future.

No one can make it alone. Even as our institutions remain indifferent to our suffering, we can still count on each other. We have to. I first played this when I was working as a doordasher, summer 2020. When it made me cry: the final walk up the hill, and what came after. I sat with her a long time, just looking out over the crater, before going inside.

One day, this will probably be the first videogame to ever be played by one billion people. And I think that's pretty cool. When it made me cry: standing before a half-finished house, its form never having taken form; saying goodbye to a world I once shared with now-former friends, saying I Don't Want To Go. C418 - Wet Hands. Lena Raine - Labyrinthine; Aerie.

If you had to hand someone any one videogame to explain what videogames are and why they're worth making, this is the one. Play at least twice. When it made me cry: Undertale (title track). Bergentrückung / ASGORE. Your Best Nightmare / Finale. Hopes and Dreams / SAVE The World.

You'll live it all again, every moment of grief, every moment reliving those moments. Were those yours, or someone else's? See you around, space magpie. When it made me cry: the third phase. "Remember our promise."

We stand in the wreckage of all past revolutions, all attempts at a better world. It is a cruel trick of history that even as the next go-round is building, we cannot see it. Make sure you do the cryptozoology sidequest. Find the animal you want to be. Be vigilant. I love you. When it made me cry: the initial and final dream sequences. La Revacholiere's vision of the city's future (put points into Shivers).

"...this will happen to everything that you love, nothing you like will remain untouched...This isn't just our problem in our idiotic bloodsport, you're f*cked too." -Felix Biederman, Fighting in the Age of Loneliness. When it made me cry: "...pretty amazing to be something, at least..."

The greatest space game ever made. A puzzle game, so the less you know going in the better. Approach it like a scientist, discovering the rules of this universe's metaphysics via structured trial and error; if you're stuck, exhaust other leads, think about what you do not yet know. Skilled flying not required. Get the DLC and complete its sidequest before beating the main story. When it made me cry: the final ~10-15 minutes until the credits.

deducting 1-star because it's based on D&D and not some pervert sh*t like Morkborg or something. good for pretending to be in a polycule, or if you're actually in a polycule, good for pretending you're able to organize a ttrpg campaign.
