Evil empire shit 🙃

It doesn’t sort you into houses though, they all got priced out.

I never got exposed to those games, but for the price - and just at a glance, how much love there is in this - I’ll have to snag that!

I’ve been spending a lot more time on indie media. Did you know they made Dave Made a Maze (2017) for under half a million? That’s insane to me.

I thought to wash my hands of the whole bad business, but the view from afar is no better. Every day new grief and madness, and I cannot look away.

More UAVs than men. Where’s that spring offensive, waiting at the gas station?

Best I could do was emigrate and deprive the regime of our taxes. My family and my wife’s were Americans for less than two generations anyway, to fuckery with the empire.

I bounced off this game myself. I was drawn in by the hype, but after I recovered from spontaneously transforming into a cartoon wolf, I was left with a game that just feels like it gets in its own way trying to force a sense of spectacle and gravitas.

I think you’re being pretty objectively fair people just aren’t having it in this moment. Don’t trip, shit happens.

I get that. For me the first playthrough carries with it an emotional finality because my time is more limited, and I know I’m too drawn to new games to linger once I have a sense of completion. A game has only to cleverly deny me that feeling, and I’ll spend hundreds of hours on it. Slay the Spire did that well, but I know Silksong won’t - because the story hits harder.

I’m glad someone knew, thanks ^^

I straight up stopped playing Silksong when I got to the endgame bosses. I’m not ready to say goodbye. I’m lucky to have unfinished business with older games in my collection, but I’ve also literally bought and beaten other games since then as well. It’s an emotional reluctance for sure.

The writers of a novelistic game had to talk to each other? This is some hard hitting journalism!

Thank you for your attention to that matter.

I haven’t hated any idea more than I hate this in a little while

That sounds incredibly unsatisfying!

We now live among these voices from nowhere that can cozen us, deceive us, flatter even - without ever having a thought. It’s already spooky before you even consider the propaganda, the cognitive and socio-economic harms, the threats to democracy, or the damage to the environment. And our language is so ill-suited to speaking about them objectively.

Crazier than the rate of Russian casualties (far from unprecedented based on having seen the daily updates for years), is the idea that the entire US war machine is only able to crank out 65 patriot missiles each month. How can that have ever been seen as enough? How can all the US military spending only produce that much? It beggars belief.

It’s the word no with an accent

Cartoons are so much more honest than reality TV. I’m glad I never caught that bug
