"Just put this bread into the oven for the first time. What on earth does "satin-smooth" mean? I am not a painter or a communist, I cannot work in such flowery terms as this. The fascists at the NSA wouldn't allow this - I hope when they read this comment they will immediately take down this wishy-washy recipe and replace it with a concrete scientific methodology that is more suited to the delicate and precise nature of baking."

this reads like Disco Elysium dialogue

this is like something an NPC says to you at the bakery in the witch alps version of Disco Elysium

I think just erasing the politics from Disco Elysium to replace it with alps witch is a stupid idea, but there have just been so so so many games where you play as a depressed middle age man. A dude who, plot twist, is destructive to himself and others, and who we try (and sometimes fail) to help become less destructive over the course of the plot.

Off the top of my head in no particular order:

God of War
Max Payne
Allan Wake
BioShock Infinite
The Last of Us 1
Silent Hill 2
Red Dead Redemption

There's nothing inherently wrong with that type of character or plot of course, there are some kickass games in that list, but I can understand wanting something else at this point.
