    “no respawns” is kind of a big deal when you “have absolutely no inhibition now” … the entire reason why social interactions are easier in games is that you can always try again, plus unlike real life, games generally provide pre-defined dialog options and often don’t even have a charisma stat that might make you fail an option by performing it badly.

      It’s a CIA psyop to project less good looking faces onto your mirrors. Wake up, you handsome person!

      you can always try again

      This is true if you live in a big enough city, or are willing to move somewhere else.

      games generally provide pre-defined dialog options

      You can just memorize a list of 10 canned responses and whip them out whenever you feel like it.

      I fucking love the way disco elysium handles this. You can still kinda go back and load an older save but its just so fun to let go and go with the flow choosing whatever seems right/interesting.
