Episode three of TLOU has given me hope for the apocalypse. Like I’m sorry, but I’ve always been the “oh I’d give up immediately and hope it goes quick.” But no. Not now.

Bill and Frank show that there’s still good days in the world, there’s still fancy dinners, and chats with friends but, most importantly, there’s still love. And yes that sounds horrendously cheesy in the “it was love all along” type way but maybe that’s what TLOU is about sometimes.

Maybe sometimes the apocalypse is about laughing while eating a strawberry with the person who makes live worth living all of a sudden.

imo the reason dragon age 2 goes so hard is because it's like... not afraid of the sociopolitical conflicts in thedas and it puts you right up in the middle of them. you just. you can't ignore how FUCKED thedas is when you're playing da2. it's not just that you're told "oh yeah some people are part of violently oppressed minority groups", your party members are deeply and personally affected by being part of those groups!

contrast that with dai where like... solas and sera are TOTALLY disconnected and disdainful when it comes to elves, and solas, while a mage advocate, sorta, doesn't have a personal stake in it! vivienne (just saying now i am not a fan of vivienne hate she is a complex and interesting character who deserves respect) has carved out a situation where she can have power WITHIN the system that violently oppresses her and wants to protect that! dorian comes from a country where mages are a protected and privileged class! none of them provide any incentive to closely examine or strongly oppose the established institutions of thedas, except, perhaps, tevinter, which we're supposed to write off as evil anyway!

da2 incentivizes you to believe that the decisions you make matter, on a deep level, to the people that you love. they are in real danger from the templars! threats against the alienage or the inquest of tevinter or the qunari are genuinely destabilizing on a life-or-death level. meanwhile like... idk you can let the chargers die and that sucks or you can personally make blackwall's life bad for his admittedly pretty shitty crimes, but the urgency is missing, the intensity of loving people who are in a mundane sort of danger. you can close the breach, but what the fuck can you do about the chantry? but da2's the only game you really get that in. dao asks you to make some hard decisions, but the force you're fighting against is an outside evil. the breach, the archdemon, the blight, corypheus. okay that thing is bad and i should definitely get rid of it. in da2 sure there's the qunari and meredith or whatever but imo the primary conflict is with the atrocities the society you live in is built on and that goes FUCKING HARD.

Relistening to TAZ Balance always makes me chuckle when I think about the people who I’ve recommended the show to. Like THIS is the show that changed your life? This podcast with masturbation jokes made you cry?

I am so nervous about DA:D being a game where they drop a trailer in the new year and then go SURPRISE it’s coming out in 8 months. Like, I like the anticipation and I want to know more about this game other than it’s got a goddamn egg in it.
