🎭 Gremlin Risitas — He Learned Absolutely Nothing


(Filed under: Dept. of Petty Affairs · Basement Logs · The Patch Note of Shame)

Scene opens on the Gremlin hunched over a keyboard. The glow of a 144 Hz monitor reflects off a mug labeled “liquid hope.” He’s installing a game he doesn’t remember buying.


⚙️ Phase 1 — The Installation Saga

“Why is it 120 gigs?!”

He deletes three older games, one family photo, and something labeled tax 2023 FINAL fr fr.pdf. Steam pings cheerfully: Ready to launch.

“At what cost.”


🧠 Phase 2 — The Tutorial He Skipped

Game: Would you like to play the tutorial? Gremlin: “Absolutely not, I was born ready.”

Five minutes later: He’s crouching, shooting, reloading, crouching again, opening the inventory mid-explosion. Somewhere a tooltip whispers: Press F to interact. He presses G.


💀 Phase 3 — The Philosophical Collapse

“Maybe the real boss fight was the menu settings we ignored along the way.”

He pauses to rebind controls, opens photo mode, accidentally saves a selfie mid-explosion. The resulting screenshot looks like existential art. He uploads it anyway.


🔥 Phase 4 — The Illusion of Progress

Three hours in, he’s still in the starting area. Steam achievement unlocked: Persistent Idiot – Play 180 Minutes Without Advancing.

“Character development is for people with patience,” he mutters, looting the same barrel for the third time.


🕯️ Phase 5 — The Lesson That Wasn’t

Credits roll by accident. He has no idea how.

“What did I learn?” …Silence. “Good.”

He uninstalls the game, re-downloads another 120 GB title, and starts the cycle over.
