i started playing baldur’s gate 

so far it feels like both a pretty good game and a very bad game

@coriander disney remake the prequel trilogy cowards

@coriander i feel like "i hate the jedi" kind of stops working as a motivation once… the jedi stop existing…

i understand the arc of anakin wanting more power and being frustrated with liberal democracy and betraying them in a way which allowed fascism to take over

but like, there's a difference between that and being an outright fascist who believes in racial superiority and blows up planets because they displease you

prequel anakin is sometimes racist but he doesn't really have THOSE vibes to me and it's not clear where/when/how he gets them

at the end of episode iii palpatine has successfully USED anakin to overthrow the jedi but i'm not convinced he has actually signed on to the empire's ideological program at all; he just hates the jedi

@coriander ok but like… why DID vader turn to the dark side

@coriander how i feel about writing

i mean i still write but it's for an audience of like 5

I’ve had it, Salandit! 

in the pokémon world nobody cares about maintaining the survival of the Teutonic race in central Europe and they certainly wouldn’t wage a disastrous war on two fronts over it

they'd just like try to capture a legendary and then an 11-year-old would show them up and be like “racial nationalism is bad”
