The line about yearning for the mines also made me laugh, but I didn’t think there was anything else funny in the trailer. I don’t understand the level of vitriol I see either, it just looks like a bad movie ¯\(ツ)/¯

While I also read the email as pragmatic, I don’t read it as kind or loving. It reads like a letter written out of fear. I don’t think your daughter should have to hide who she is to be safe, but I would also want your child to be safe.

I hope you can hold at least two truths about this letter in your head. It isn’t right to expect LGBT people to hide who they are for safety. And also, a worried family member wants their family to be safe, even if they don’t know the right way for that to happen.

I did not know this existed, but I’m going to watch it now!

I am currently playing through it, and it has some of the best moments gaming has to offer. You don’t normally see such a specific voice in games narratives these days. I have been really enjoying it.

Skillup started the video saying that other people can have other opinions on the game. He didn’t like the combat, the art style, or the new tone. Those are all subjective things that other people could have enjoyed. Purely just in the video, he talked about how he didn’t like the necromancer character, but every clip he showed I liked. It’s just different tastes.

I really love these games. I like the silly little puzzles with the good music and art. The lack of story never really bothered me because every single person you meet is so unique looking that it enables a lot of people-watching imagination on my part. I just think they’re neat :)

It’s an older comic,

Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

I like it too, but it is mainly our boy Ryan moodily staring and awful lot.

I’m playing Alan Wake II, and oh boy is it a great game. I’m not normally a horror fan, and have really only dabbled my way through a few residents evil, but I’m really enjoying myself in AW2. I love the off-kilter humor that remedy has, and their confidence to include it inbetween the horror, knowing it won’t undercut the scares. I’m also pretty intrigued by the mystery of it. My memories of AW1 are hazy, but there are a ton of nods to Control, which I also really liked.

Some would even say that ingesting dissolved iron is required for your health.

In this case, no. This is just interpreting what the next frame should be by the previous one. Like how the sora videos work, but with input.

I agree that they should create new IPs, but, they did just try that with Concord. So I understand why they would be gun-shy about it.

This is one of the problems of growing up in a different age. This was advertised, but are you any of the places they promoted it? It was the main game in a state of play, they bought ad space on steam, and I assume it was advertised elsewhere where I wouldn’t have seen it. But not everybody is watching TV anymore, and we are on Lemmy. Probably not the best place to judge what’s being advertised to the masses lol.

I’m a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.
