dragon quest x is available in english now, with a little finagling, on Steam deck. yes—yes—i read japanese alright, but i never played an MMO before. i have no clue what the hell’s going on with these systems
quote
L&J’s approach divides their readers into two categories. You can, like the authors, consider yourself among the departed, looking on these wooden characters with a gloating scorn. Or else you must be, like these characters, the object of that scorn. Either way, there’s little room for the empathy necessary to make such stories truly frightening. --- blog post about the Left Behind series of book, contemporary to them
there is a nihilism in denying the existence of the Other, huh. this world is very narrow, all outside of it is naught
(i was afraid of these books as a child, despite what the quote there says. i was too young to know, even, that i, as a catholic, would be among the targets of its scorn. maybe, then, i knew if it was true i should be scared)

revision tip for writers: read your stories out t loud in stupid accents! you’ll notice more about how the language works by speaking it aloud in a way different from your habit! you will feel silly as hell but maybe many strongly improved line edits!
this is not a joke!
