I can’t wait for people to forget about Expedition 33 because I’m sick of hearing how good it is. it’s like BG3 all over again. yay I love disempowering paintrauma stories and turn-based RPG combat systems. I’m so glad every single gaming-related youtube channel I follow is making endless videos about how great it is just to really rub in how little of mainstream art I can safely enjoy and how nobody is ever going to make art for me instead

me: oh hey that anime girl in that JRPG is really cute! I wonder what her story is

the wiki: she’s a war orphan who was torture-brainwashed into a mindless killing machine (or some shit)

me: okaayyy time to read about something else!

every single time

me after a long day of being disempowered in a horrifying dystopia, about to relax on the couch and be disempowered in a JRPG set in a horrifying dystopia
