Hi, I play Videogames. (Pragmata)
Been playing a lot of Pragmata lately, and it's a very cute, fun game! I am enjoying the environmental storytelling scattered around, too. I am seriously enjoying Accidental Family Outing: The Game, except for how everything keeps trying to destroy my accidental family...
Admittedly, I am a little surprised there aren't more people being Totally Normal About IDUS. Like me. I am Very Normal.
IDUS is a condescendingly polite sound donut. and I am. gnawing. on it. I think this is partly because I really just like masculine computer voices that should automatically make you distrust them simply by existing, but I am also thinking about HAL 9000, again. Hm yes, interesting, interesting stuff.
And also, the implications of said environmental storytelling; not just the *obvious* horrible stuff that happened here, but then some. :) You can of course easily chalk that up to the game being, well, a videogame, and thus it needs rewards for challenges, and so on, to go with its linear progression, but.... I am thinking about how stuff, well, diagetically, is really interesting just for being there. That's all.
Anyway, while I'm approaching the end of the game, closing in on Central Port, but I have mostly also just been backtracking into previous Sectors, lol.
