HOUSEKEEPING'S PROFILE

Whew, you've asked quite a bit! Hopefully I can answer everything:



Hope that helps!

I feel sorry for him because he has some pretty severe mental problems, he's had to continually debase himself in television and film so that he can make enough money to keep his apartment, he's mostly socially isolated, and when he said something along the lines of, "If I lose my apartment, I'll probably commit suicide," he was absolutely sincere. I mean, obviously I think he did a fucking horrible thing and I feel worse for the victim, but even "monsters" are human, and I thought that documentary did a good job of making me see his perspective, and it's a pretty bleak one. He didn't look proud at all about his past; he looked nervous and ashamed but resigned.

Yeah, those are the mobs; they have a 1/35 chance of dropping those, which may be more trouble than its worth depending on what you're looking to craft. I believe that one or both of those items can be obtained from chests, so you might want to make sure that you've consulted Griff.

Yeah, the font changes were funny, especially since the writing style--you know, what actually differentiates personalities--was the same in every post. I would have at least liked to see one of the personas adopt a British accent or provide a short aside about how this was a fun game to play while "the kids were asleep."

As long as you're capturing something about life, there's nothing wrong about showing it on the screen, even bestiality--I mean, in some rural areas, donkey fucking is more or less socially acceptable, even if it's hush-hush. I mean, I don't really want to think about how this would translate to a game, but I could easily see a story about a man who fucks donkeys while dealing with abject poverty and loneliness, or someone in a rural area who is meek and submissive around domineering family/friends could gain a sense of power over an animal. It doesn't mean that what he's doing is right, and the audience will see this, but it could still be a compelling read/watch/play because the character connects with things we've all felt--isolation, loneliness, frustration, powerlessness--and we'd understand his actions even if we don't condone them.

I don't want anyone to make a game about fucking donkeys, let's just get that out of the way.

Anyway, this is just to say that controversial topics are fine as long as you handle them artfully. I imagine that showing sprite sex could even be done well, though, after playing Sore Losers, I can imagine how that would have come off as crass (if you're reading this, Sated, I thought your game was pretty awesome, though). I mean, you can always avoid nudity in film, but sometimes including nudity is just the right decision. I know that sprite sex would look silly most of the time, but with the right context and artist, I wouldn't take it off the table.
