#love me some of that horror lurking underneath the gags and goofs

[floating--goblin]

love it when a game is simultaneously the funniest experience and full of the deepest existential horrors you can imagine

#am i talking about fable? am i talking about portal? #you decide #love me some of that horror lurking underneath the gags and goofs #yeah you can shit your pants in fable 2. you can also go through the realization that you were born to suffer and #you will never amount to anything more than how much you can sacrifice #oh yeah portal the funny game about the cake! and also about a company's deep deep corruption that spans nearly a century and involves ever #everyone either dying or being changed fundamentally and irreparably #and ALSO #the bittersweet realization that you need to let the people you love go. and you need to live with a part of yourself that you despise #all alone #there's a lot of common themes tbh #look at what you've done and what you've had to give. look at where you stand. #realize you cannot live with yourself like that #recognize you must do so anyway
