a lot of the moment to moment writing in persona 5 is pretty hammy and unnatural but one thing they’ve got fuckin down is insulting characters. top class trolls and bullies they are

i played expedition 33 with the french voice acting since the game is so 🇫🇷🥖🧑🏻‍🎨 French and while i understand why the english-speaking actors are nominated for all the awards and i’m sure they did a really amazing job i can’t help but wish that the francophone actors got more acclaim

the australian housing crisis is so grim and i’m really really pissed off about it. shelter as a profitable asset is one of the most twisted inventions we’ve made for ourselves and it needs to end. so long as people are on the street or in rental stress we should be trying to solve that immediately

The defamatory statements Zaum gave to PMG about myself and Dora Klindžić in the latest Disco Elysium follow-up story left me with no other choice than to disprove them with hard evidence. This is what really happened in Zaum between June 2022 and Feb 2024:
