Look, seven month-old comment so lord knows if you'll see this, but directing that comment at a random Itch.io commenter was proper chaser. There's a significant difference between making a half-joke about a fictional character and aiming that same energy back at a real person you don't even know. That isn't OK.  

Autist to autist FYI.

Wow. Uh. That was horrible. In a captivating way, that is. 

I think on some level Susie did care about Gail. I don't want to believe that a pretty decent chunk of the population is actively, willfully cruel enough to take advantage of someone like that while completely understanding how much harm they're causing. I think people can be several contradictory things at once, lord knows I've been. Not saying she should be forgiven. She was aware enough to know there was nothing kind about it. That's ignoring how comically awful it is that she was deliberately pulling Gail back to her past...

No, honestly, I'm desperately trying to justify being stuck with several people in my life who wouldn't understand that there was nothing consensual about any of that. 

The way this shifts between making you relate to Gail (if you can, which I can), portraying SA in a voyeuristic way and shifting back has me spiraling a bit. Especially because on a meta level, the whole premise of Gail's life is written as something of a perverted fantasy. Guess it all made me feel a bit like Gail did. Aroused but not in a good way. If I'm ever in a t4t relationship I'm sure I'll end up sobbing on a floor trying to convince her (and myself) that no I'm not a chaser, I just really connected with her and GOD I hope I'm not making things worse.

Right, so you blab about how inherently bigoted the very concept of a dungeon crawl is, and then betray your total lack of belief in your own virtue signaling by discussing how you dragged your players through dungeon crawls. Just stop with the moaning and play the game.

The world generation is... annoying.

Just to let you know, there's a game called BallisticNG on Steam which is very much a modern WipeOut clone and it's rad as hell.

This is really let down by having no clarification on action ratings. I'm not sure if "Beguile" & "Command" are basically charm & intimidate respectively, or if "Rig" is meant to represent your ability to MacGyver stuff together or what. I could always just replace them with my own words, but it seems like there was some thought behind using *those* words specifically.
