playing Persona 3 Reload has me thinking about how narratively pathetic Persona 4 is compared to P3 & P5. P3: Teens grappling with the terror and tragedy of both death and existence. P5: Teens rebelling against those who use power to perpetuate unjust systems. P4: Be yourself! (not weird tho!) :)

which Homestar Runner characters are antivax. Marzipan, obviously, but beyond that? i feel like Strong Mad listens to some podcasts that steer him that way. Bubs is definitely vaccinated but sells unvaxed blood on the black market.

The visual novel I’m working on now is pretty normal overall. But be warned that if it’s successful enough for future projects to be viable, said future projects will be insufferable bizarre nonsense.

I hope four of the six episodes are dedicated to Kiryu getting distracted from the high-stakes intrigue and, like, cheering up some random person who got stood up on a date or getting roped into being a dog walker.
