    haven't read any fiction in so long, so i recently picked up some China Miéville (my guy is so based he's really called China) and read Perdido Street Station and The Scar. it was very fun!

        somebody told me i should play Kentucky Route Zero after i told them i loved Disco Elysium and it was amazing. so i'll recommend that too, if you don't mind very abstract, magic-realism-y type of storytelling. there is also significantly less "gameplay" than in DS. but the sad/weird/occasionally strikingly beautiful anti-capitalist vibe is quite similar

        yeah i've also heard that, but then, if i screened every authors/artists politics that thoroughly, there wouldn't be much media left to enjoy innit. at least he's not a lib, and so the books aren't annoying because the main character votes in the end to save the world or smth. that's good enough for me at this point
