I remember their names, but sometimes I just think of them as "onion boy" or "bowlcut", "tyoma my beloved" or "dilf", and "xtreme teen bible adventures" or "dancing queen young and sweet only seventeen!!!"
halfway through pathologic 2 and i just want to say that the changeling did nothing wrong. literally everything she did wrong can be explained by the fact that she’s a teenager. i don’t even care that she gave me the plague. girlboss in training.
no thoughts, just “Grandmama, it’s me, Anastasia” with snake skin coat man
The fact that the Fellow Traveler is named that in Pathologic is like. I KNOW the Soviet and marxist connotations and whatnot but it also feels like there's so much there that I'm missing cause I'm an English speaking American
This post is going to sound incomprehensible to like everyone but I really want to draw artemy and rubin as the boyfriend and waffle house egg chef from that r/relationships post
Absolutely obsessed with how Ice Pick Lodge went yeah you know what let’s just take our already slutty character and just. Make it even worse. Tits out for the broken heart pub. Like why. Why??? I’m not complaining but.
Why don't I just read some moody, deeply philosophic Burakovsky fanfic I barely understand and maybe then I'll calm down
the title screen theme from pathologic classic hd goes so hard. they shouldn't have changed it on the second one
Help girl. I’m both in love with and projecting on to a very sleep deprived mixed-race malewife college drop-out murderer spiritual leader dilf with prophetic dreams that’s really just a fucked up doll controlled by children. Inside a game.
if I could do art I would have to draw some of my favorite patho “generic model” characters with unique designs… idk what everyone else’s first pick would be for redesigning generic models but I’d go with Loy the Bull Salesman (he’s just so funny, I love his cheeky huckster routine), Shrew from Marble Nest (for being clearly attached to Daniil in her grumpy way), Whistler the Train Driver (have him hanging out with odongh buddies), and the Blood, Nerve, and Skin NPCs in the Bridge Square for being Healer analogues and I like to imagine they are weird friends who can easily talk about their different worldviews without arguing and will meet up and have picnics in the parks together
open question: what minor characters would you pick to redesign and why?
My experience playing Pathologic is basically falling in love with all the women in this game
do you think aspity effectively utilised girl power when she called dankovsky “the prickly prick that’ll bury us all” ?
Pathologic 2 (Haruspex Route) can actually be considered a power fantasy if you’re short.
i think aspity should get her own route. she deserves it
theres so much gorgeous patho content that i cant understand bc its in russian and they never have captions so i cant copy and paste it into google translate for context😭😭
the funniest thing about pathologic is the fact that one of the characters you can play is just the head of ice-pick lodge danko is someone on the development team as well but I don’t remember who
like all the todd howard skyrim jokes have been made already but imagine if every main character in a bioware game was just the ceo of bioware
I like how most of Mark’s punishments have to do with fucking up your stats, but one of the punishments is just keeping you from hugging your loved ones and showing affection. It absolutely has nothing to do with your hunger or exhaustion, and it doesn’t prevent you from succeeding and getting a ‘happy’ ending . It’s just incredibly mean and cruel.
my personal favourite trope is enemies with benefits. like you can hate each other AND want to fuck each other at the same time. unrelatedly, i really hate artemy burakh
with the last post’s tags i got the artbook quote wrong with clara re: her hair so here it is in a separate post because i think its interesting
“The Changeling is the most complicated one. She’s her own antithesis, a demon and a saint in one, and we must not overdo it on one side or the other; preserving this “watercolor” quality is important. One of the ways to show this is to rid her of her hair. When is hair cut off completely? Religious initiation is one case; a grave illness is another. Either a holy fool or a ringworm case. A saint who’s also the plague…”
