there’s nothing quite like reading a gay romance novel and, halfway through it, realizing that it’s actually an elaborate Star Citizen fanfic
seems like Star Citizen has everything except a functional game
apparently??
here I was, minding my own business, reading this dorky gay book for fun (a classic “oh no I’m stranded at this campground, can I stay with you?” story -like “there’s only one bed!” but with an RV, basically) and one character is like, “oh yeah, I’m a game dev, I’m working on this game called…Space Villager. Yup. You’ve probably seen us on kickstarter. I know it’s been a while, but the game is coming out next year, I promise, haha!”
so like, this dorky nonsense just turned into Star Citizen game dev RPF, and I…I don’t know how to emotionally handle that?? especially since this book is from 2015, and even then, Star Citizen was largely regarded as a failure.
this author did this on purpose. she knew exactly what she was doing. and that fact will haunt me for the rest of my days
…or at least until I finish this book.
I should also add that I’m listening to it as an audiobook, and it turns out the guy narrating it also does commercial voiceovers, and just…I…
how am I supposed to recover from hearing the Wawa Hoagiefest dude narrating a gay, complicated Star Citizen RPF, which includes NSFW scenes?
I don’t think I can recover. this is a part of my backstory, now.
this is my villain origin story
