Woke up from an otherwise dream that took a horrible turn. There was some kind of contest where they put an inflatable platform in a lake, and the winner was whoever could leap on and stay on without falling. Like a Takeshi's Castle game. The winner was some guy. Driving home they were discussing him on the radio, and how he had ADHD, and using it as a framing device for how his town had fuck tons of lead in the topsoil so everyone was constantly being exposed. I don't believe those two things are related but I don't write the scripts, I just see the dream. Anyway I pull my car over and something is wrong so I am crawling around with a flashlight looking into the workings behind the dashboard for something - I think I had lost something. And then take a break to play video game.
This is where things took a turn. Gonna put it behind a read more, it was.. horrible.
I guess someone had released a sequel to the DOS game "Battle Chess" but made it game of thrones themed. I never watched more than the first episode of that so I don't imagine it was accurate to characters. But it was "3d" that looked indistinguishable from real actual people, and the violence wasn't cartoon pixel violence it was extremely realistic, grotesque murder. Which would be bad enough except a significant number of characters on the board were children.
The clashes were always unique and acted fully, and the one that mercifully woke me was a knight taking another, and after stabbing each other with short knives like thirty times, they castrated each other - but like, the winners whole area was CARVED OUT, it was nauseating. It seemed like it took forever. Miserable.
