By the end, you'll long for rhymes like that.

Mandatory/laboratory is already pretty special. I'm looking forward to how they can make something much worse than that.

Best worst line:

I'm so excited for the opportunity to join the graduate program!
I hear the competition is really tough with lots of good applicants,
but I've been prepping for this opportunity since my final exam!


That's not even remotely a poem, and the rhyme is as forced as I've ever seen.

I have to give an honorable mention to this one, though:

These empty containers once housed noxious flammable gas, that had been liquified.
You can tell by their red color - I had a colleague inhale some and he died.


It's not a bad rhyme, but the idea that that's just something that casually happens is pretty out there.

Votes:

Give some money to Stinky Pete.
His life is hard, and we can be sweet.


Take the cleaner and hope that it's useful.
But leave the telescope--that can't be fruitful.

Does Henry ever realize he's a poo poo person? Or is this some amateur postmodern commentary of "yeah, people are assholes, man! Life sucks, maaaaaaaan!"

I for one will be extremely disappointed if Henry ever shows any signs of self-awareness.

Be mean.

I thought I was developing a tolerance for Henry's terrible way of life, but that therapy session got to me. He really is a piece of work, isn't he?

Give her the pill, because why wouldn't we? We have a pattern of steamrolling over our terminally ill wife's desires, we've seen it's worked on an ailment, (good enough to our incurious, lazy self), and we secretly resent her for having a miscarriage. It's the only in-character choice.

Yeah. Let's get all in on being a shitstain.

Miss Jones certainly has a way with words.
And to hit on Henry? How absurd.

If they had an affair
he'd probably demand that she clean her house and wash her hair.

Anyway, to deal with the street punk let's try to blackmail.
It worked well on Doris so here it can't possibly fail.

At some point Henry starts to look like he's doing some good.

His motivations are total garbage, though.

Going to work on this a little. I'm, uh... not SUPER interested in following the 'be as bad as you can be' path to the end, because based on some screenshots I've seen

that involves you allowing somebody to come to the house and rape Grace? To further your career somehow?? Nooooooooo thanks <- it's really bad

but I know for sure you can rack up a pretty good body count before that!

I assumed that the game's dark and edgy tone was just so over the top as to be laughable, but I guess it can go way further over the top to still be genuinely horrifying.

I want to write a poem describing my reaction to the ending, but I'm not really sure what rhymes with :catstare:.

quote:

We've been dancing for a million years, and still you never learn.
Greed and selfish aspirations, guiding you at every turn.

I think you've got the wrong character speaking this line.

The bit in the end where the police shoot Henry just because might be the impression a Swede gets of life in America if their only exposure to our culture is the news.
