i've downloaded zombies run & i'm three missions in & enjoying it so far, but it's also so Tragically and Hilariously clear how much this story was written in 2012. and how it was also less interested in subverting genre expectations than making you move your body (very fair!! given that that's what the game is designed for!!)
the two most egregious things in these first three eps are:
1. i was paired for a run with a coughing woman who insists she "just has a bad chest cold," and even though the camp supervisor firmly establishes that coughing is THE FIRST SYMPTOM of an infection, i'm instructed to go out running alone in the wilds with this lady. who's coughing. so much.
she keeps being like "it's just a cold 💕" while refusing to let anyone examine her and i'm like. YOU GUYS DONT HAVE QUARANTINE PROCEDURES?? PUT HER ASS SOMEWHERE AWAY FROM THE REST OF US?? DUDE??
2. it's then established that everyone at the camp is suspicious of me because other camps nearby have been torched after being visited by shady-ass secret-keepers very similar to myself. but i'm still allowed to roam around and do supply runs like it's nothing. the NPCs just mutter mutinously about me and make allusions to how i'm gonna get everyone killed.
PUT MY ASS IN QUARANTINE?!?!? DON'T LET ME LEAVE WITHOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS??? WHAT???? YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO GET A GRIP?!?!?!
the lack of quarantine, safety, and hardass procedures would be excusable if this was a hippie commune or solarpunk future or whatever, but it is Not. this is an AMC's walking dead style deal where the only people more dangerous than the zombies are the non-zombies.
so i'm like.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST RUGGED BASTION OF HUMANITY. WHAT ARE YOU DOIIINGGG.....

Currently Reading: Stories from Quarantine by The New York Times Magazine, previously published as The Decameron Project
Trying to get my brain to focus on a book and a series of short stories seemed to be the best bet. And the stories have been interesting and a little haunting so far.
Once done, I'll let you know which of the stories I enjoyed!

1. Inflection Point (I finally chose. She's just so deeply special to me. I also think that was the first work of yours I read so, there's sentimentality there.)
2. Promise Ring (I don't want to talk about it. You're never allowed to write for Dino again /hj.)
3. Mirage (Mirage Wonwoo will always be famous to me.)
4. Haox (I love suffering so.)
5. Rush Hour (It's enemies to lovers of sorts and it's Hao. It also appeals to the exhibitionist in me. RJ geared content tbh.)
Honourable mention to Favorite Poison and Again and Again though.
THE EXHIBITIONIST INMEJRIFKEE and im not gonna lie i didnt expect you to actually pull up a list of ur top 5 kai fics 😭😭😭😭 ure too good for me,, what did i do to deserve someone like you,,,
