Holy shit I never even woulda pictured this (wonder if it’s gonna be an anniversary remix album with a bunch of folks after the rerelease they did a bit ago, or a one off, or if they’re actually doing something full length with Carpenter Brut because if so FUUUUUCK) youtu.be/T0VHDXpIGmg?...

Rolled credits on Control Resonant and man that ripped so much I’m thinking of playing Control 1 again (never did play the dlc so like…) Also I neeeeeed Remedy and Half Mermaid to team up on something, I’d kill to see what Sam Barlow could do with the Northlight tech

Ah. That’s enough to make me wanna play favorites on my first playthrough then I think, especially if support progress carries over and I can just start talking to everybody now

Wait so like. You don’t have to recruit everyone in one go? They’re just still there on the next path you do??

“Records or produces audio at home” nah man that’s the old me, I just play rhythm games a lot lol

I did it, I tricked capitalism into thinking I’m an audio professional

Me every time I boot up Pragmata

And yeah to your point, Zoe feels like the most human character in the game sometimes. I love their dynamic and I’m both excited and terrified to see where it lands at the end

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I’m in what I think is the endgame but one of my favorite things has been seeing Pope go from what felt like corporate mandated cordialness to actual appreciation and genuine remorse. She always felt bad but her shedding of the co-director skin over time felt real.

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I don’t want to keep this going because spoilers and shit and also it’s just a weirdly rough kind of reckoning but yeah. I sympathize with Dylan so god damn much, even if I obviously didn’t go through the shit he did at the scale that he did.

000

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Like damn I dunno did you consider he never asked for any of this shit and just wanted to be a kid but instead you subjected him to multiple decades of emotional abuse? And when he’s at his lowest because of your actions some undefinable bullshit happens and it’s HIS fault? Nah man, I’ve been here

220

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

This dude is a fucking scorned puppy man. He did bad things but not of his own volition. He’s a sweetheart trying his best and everyone’s just been really shitty to him for the past 20+ years and yet he thinks HE has to atone. So few people apologize for what happened to him but never ask why

120

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I think I’m close to finishing Control Resonant and I’m really brushing up on the “do I want this to end?” feeling Like I dunno what it is about Dylan but I relate to a constant underachieving fuckup with high potential that just wants to do the right thing, even if I didn’t do a big ass murder

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Don’t make me spend money again shit

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Ahhh, okay. My brain somehow glossed over the XeSS mention before. That makes sense.

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Look man if you didn’t know Hayley Williams was a real one by now I don’t know what to tell you.

Screencap of a quote from the article:

"America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. "We suggest Ms.
Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice," the agency's statement said.
Williams, 37, then unleashed her response to the DHS' statement in an Instagram Story post Monday: "And may I suggest all Nazi bitches suck on my fat d***"

Ooh, I didn’t know about that! I very lazily googled ROG mods/tools but got distracted by “you can play the newest Forza at a steady 50-60 if you try hard and believe in yourself” and stopped trying to tweak for a bit. I’ll check that out when I’m home!

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It’s funny because it seems like it’s a waaaay more optimized game than Control 1/AW2 was at launch, and the fact that I can even play it on a handheld is frankly incredible. But I think this was the first time I actively chose to just play it on console instead (probably because I love this game)

100

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Interesting. I tried doing handheld on my ROG Xbox Ally X and it was NOT happy. Maybe I tried to push it too hard or there’s some optimization tweaks I’m missing/unaware of but it is one of the few games I’m glad I did Play Anywhere for. Dock/turbo worked fine okay but handheld struggled a bunch.

Henry update: they made him wear a bigger cone because of his weird shaped head and he absolutely hates it. Here he is getting mad that he can’t go under the couch and chill like he sometimes does

010

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Oh yeah, he should be fine, thankfully the place we usually board him is very attentive and patches him up so he couldn’t do more damage. We just gotta get the spot checked and get him on his fall medication again, which means he gets to have cheese slices as a treat again so he’ll be doing great.

110

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Unfortunately Henry’s seasonal allergies kicked up while we were out of town, and he gave himself a hot spot on his tail, so poor dude has to wear this to bed tonight so it doesn’t get worse before we get into the vet tomorrow. He’s taking it like a champ but he’s very not happy about it

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

(If anyone asks I’m using dual hatchets/big axe so far. Dunno why, just sounded cool. I always just rule of cool games like this until I find something that’s cooler so like, whatever man we ball)

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m just gonna keep putting level ups into ki charge/ki amount for now lol, my mans clearly needs cardio

100

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m still very very early in it but Nioh 2 is really fuckin cool. It’s also very punishing and complex in ways I wasn’t expecting lol. I have never had to deal with stamina management on a level like this but it honestly makes things feel so much cooler when I am able to cut through 2-3 Rogues solo

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

This sounds like a lost cut from the PS1 era, it’s perfect

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Okay what the hell, this rips

Also, the MGM Lion. I had a years-long series of nightmares about the MGM Lion coming out of the screen and murdering my family.

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The first time I saw someone get disintegrated in Mars Attacks!. I was like 6 and talked my grandparents into taking me to see it despite the rating. I left the theater crying as soon as I saw that disintegrating vfx. Convinced them to take me two more times after that and same thing happened

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

A lot of people say Full Frontal’s design pulls some inspiration from Red Death costume Phantom so probably him

Alissa: “They should just make Gundams for every Andrew Lloyd Webber production” Me: “Go on…” Alissa: “Cats the musical but Gundam” Me: “That’s called Zoids.” Alissa: “Jesus Christ Superstar but Gundams” Me: “That’s called Evangelion.”

Stop the timer, they just started playing a Strokes song at this NYC dive bar. Streets still know

Wait nvm I’m in Mamdani country right now, he won’t let anything bad happen to me

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I’m off the plane and literally in a Lyft on the highway right now I can’t believe I have to divorce you AGAIN

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That sounds awful I’m so sorry

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

TWO volcanoes. That can fly.

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Just got unusually upset when the plane landed and the flight attendant said “welcome to Atlanta” but did not follow it up with “where the playas play”. In my house I was taught that we ride on dem thangs like every day

It’s too god damn early to be awake, much less awake and at an airport

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Still kinda fucked up at the PAC tribute video using a Manchester Orchestra song. I don’t know what it is about that band but they cut me to my fucking soul

000

vApathyv @vapathyv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I can’t believe I’m divorcing you again.
