As much as I dislike A Prayer for Owen Meany, I respect the cosmic horror feeling it gives to Christianity. There’s an all-powerful being that will punish you according to cruel and misguided standards, and you’re lying to yourself if you claim everything it does is justified, but there’s nothing you can do to stop it anyway.

Looking at a cute porn game that’s up to version 0.31. Idly following another porn game that’s up to version 0.24. I have a porn game on my Steam wishlist that’s at 0.8.2, and another that’s “behind schedule” at 0.1.4. Do any of these things ever finish?

I’m years late to this realization, but Bioshock is the libertarian version of “what will you do on the leftist commune?” All these people hear about a city where the most talented people will rise to the top, and they personally don’t rise to the top, so they start a civil war over it.

El Paso, Elsewhere looks like it’s about a guy who fumbled his vampire GF, and then it’s about a vampire who fumbled her human. In some sense she does loves him, but she misses being the vampire lord and having all those other vampires to order around and intimidate, so he’s the one person she has left to order around and intimidate. He seems to me like he would have been fine with being dommed, and she could have just accepted and trusted in the authority he gave her. But she needs to prove to herself that he’ll fear and obey her, over and over again in increasingly cruel and pointless ways. Even more damningly, she can’t accept responsibility for her actions. She justifies, shifts the blame, or simply refuses to respond, and the closest she gets to admitting she did something wrong is saying she knows he thinks she hurt him.
