Honestly i feel bad for jim like imagine really creating the perfect purgatory complete with a map some gear and some local points of interest. Theres places to rest and theres places to test a mans sheer force of will. This place will break you and cherish you, and you are the guide to usher lost souls along to salvation or oblivion.
Then comes along some piece of shit who doesnt even want a map or gear or even shoes. He doesnt wanna see the points of interest. He just fucks off into the world and destroys centuries old artifcats and complains that he has to pee but doesnt use ANY of the literal dozens of toilets you have placed throughout the world. He doesnt even deserve to meet the giant lady and yet she cradled him in her arms and sang him a lullaby. That would piss me off so bad i would never shut up about it.
And i need yall to know that there is a game in which youre a 35 year old autistic man climbing a mountain and you meet a donkey named moose with human hands and feet with his cock out and he gives you an icecream cone and you keep climbing the mountain until you reach mooses cabin and you fall in love have dinner together and fall asleep on his couch. His cock is never not out btw.
No, you don't get it, Nate Babysteps has so many mental health problems and is too scared to ask for and accept any help because he's a victim of the alpha male mindset and it's repressed so many parts of him that needed to face those parts is difficult and awkward and weird to him and that's also why he wants female validation and he's also queer and likes 'unconventionally' attractive things such as furries and he also has an inferiority complex from his sister always being better than him and he also
As the first artist on Tumblr to post Nate x Moose art, I feel it is my duty to complete the sketch I made half a year ago. I’m still working on it, but I have made a lot of progress!
Analysis Below the Cut!!!!
Baby Steps is a fantastic game developed by Gabe Cuzzilo, Maxi Boch, and Bennet Foddy. It follows the journey of a man named Nate, who is thrust out of his comfortable way of living and forced to take agency over his life by less than orthodox means—by climbing to the top of an absurdly large mountain without using his hands.
In his struggle, Nate continually pushes away those trying to help him, preferring instead to act as a lone wolf. This preference for self-isolation inevitably leads Nate into a downward spiral (sometimes literally,) until he decides he no longer wishes to live at all. Somehow though, the magic of the mountain refuses to let Nate die—despite promising whatever it is he could possibly desire. And yet, when forced to face a future he never wanted, Nate learns to accept the help of one singular character; Moose.
Throughout the narrative, Nate and Moose have the most amicable out of Nate’s exceedingly frayed relationships. Moose serves as a foil to Nate, being isolated in much the same way but always yearning for connection on his sleeve. In this way, when Nate reaches the peak of the Mountain and is forced to face his fear of connection, of course he chooses to trust Moose.
In the post credits scene, Nate and Moose can be found living happily in a cottage atop the mountain’s peak. After hours of suffering over Baby Steps’ rage mechanics, and finally reaching the top, I and many other players felt a sense of utter relief and satisfaction. In many ways that satisfaction was as much in my own accomplishment as it was in pride for Nate, having opened up to another person.
So I was quite excited, when in this scene Nate and Moose kissed. Beyond being a compelling and beautiful love story, the act of vulnerability and self acceptance required to form a bond like that for Nate felt like the perfect apotheosis for Nate’s development over the course of the story.
For the first few hours, the game presents Nate as a jester of sorts: his failures and suffering caused solely by his inability to change. And yet, rather than ending with that comical premise intact, Baby Steps instead chooses to show redemption. Actively presenting to the player a means by which they too can learn to grow and accept oneself.
There is much more to say on the topic, but I suppose that will have to wait until I finish this artwork 💕
Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"
and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future
