cutting things out manages to be both liberating and frustrating and i don't know if i'm ever gonna get comfortable in that weird middle ground. it's such a strange mix of opposite emotions for something that's so normal and necessary. i'm gonna do it! flip a coin as to whether i'm gonna feel wiggly or triumphant about it!
borderlands shares a lot of the same humor as rvb (both good and bad, lol), and the humor is similarly a sort of top layer over a story that's got a lot of really heavy-hitting aspects to it. a diamond horse named butt stallion, a side quest called "shoot Face McShooty in the face," a gun that slows you down by 200% and also screams things when you shoot it — and also the effects of extreme capitalism: oppression, rebellion, grief, abuse, manipulation, and environmental collapse. not hard to compare the two. :B but yeah, it's always interesting to look back and think, "oh yeah, this is where i got inspiration for that thing; that helped me figure out how to handle this."
