Under the vegetable posted:it's so incredible. woolies right btw i'd much rather have to deal with a werewolf or vampire than a grudge rear end ghost. you could conceivably kill a vampire or werewolf by just shooting it, what with modern day weapons probably loving up monsters thought up 200+ years ago, but you literally cannot beat a grudge ghost. you just die.

I get what woolie is saying. when most people refer to ghosts IRL or like those ghost hunters shows or whatever they're basically little more than spooky Halloween ghosts. they don't do anything, they're translucent and they can appear anywhere and maybe they make spooky noises or pop up in mirrors or whatever and scare you. nobody IRL is worried about a ghost killing them, just being "haunted." But if somebody was staying in a hotel and thought they saw a loving werewolf walking down the hall, they're not just going back to bed all spooked and maybe calling Discovery channel about it, they're calling security or the police or whatever because that's an imminent physical threat In a movie or abstract survival hypothetical sure you'd rather fight a physical creature than some unknowable entity that can hurt you but IRL these myths come from human fear centers extrapolating explainable phenomena into spooky possibilities. and stories about ghosts come from usually visual and auditory experiences, not violent or physically traumatic ones. whereas stories about monsters came usually from actual attacks (by animals or whatever) or violence. "the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown" is a movie truism, but not necessarily a life truism. humans aren't viscerally frightened by the unknown because it's not "real," to us, much like most people don't see the future as "real." but they're very frightened by a bear in their living room because that's how we evolved, and because it's a bear in your living room Anyway, as for movie ghosts, for a pop culture example look at definitive movie ghost canon Ghostbusters. up until zuul or whatever comes into play, who is distinctly some sort of eldritch god of the beyond and not a ghost, it's pretty clear the ghosts don't actually do anything but frighten people and make a big mess.

RDR certainly feels long, mostly because of how long it takes to get going because Rockstar is stuck in a formula they haven't been able to break out of since San Andreas. 1. You start with nothing/get brought down to nothing 2. You meet the locals, make connections, start building your way back up 3. Something happens resulting in you needing to leave town/burough/city/state/country for a while. You may or may not end up losing everything or just about everything as a result. 4. Repeat Steps 2-3 as often as needed until plot is resolved. I'm sure I'm oversimplifying it, but RDR feels really egregious about it since it leads off with you having to work off your debt for getting patched up, leading to a fair amount of time before Things Start Happening.

I mean, yeah. I wasn't saying that it was good he had cancer, just that it was a while ago that he said it had taken a turn for the worse which, in my experience, means "has very little time left". Good that they figured out a way to stop it, wonder if he rethought some of his worldviews with his new lease on life.

I dunno, I hope if I was a lovely dude that repeatedly told developers and critics that he hoped they got cancer and then barely survived cancer I would not be that big of an rear end in a top hat afterwards. Perspective is a learned experience and all.

That's a joke at someone's unfortunate sounding statement. Talking sanctimoniously about how disease should make someone a better person is not a joke. e: But I see your point and apologize for the bad joke.

I'm saying he's responsible for some bad poo poo and I hope he changes to do more good with his much longer lifespan, that's all. gently caress's sake, dude. I'm not saying him having cancer should make him a better person, at all. But being faced with impending death like that can often make a person reevaluate their choices in life, and given another shot, may do things to better others or right wrongs. I am speaking from experience here, and not just my own.

I mean, when PJ and mecharichter played through it together, PJ unintentionally made it his life's work to die as close to the top of the screen as possible Haven't watched the paige and pat archive yet but the pj/mr run is a good one, they played through the whole thing in person together during the Week of Stupid where all four members of Team Poor Life Choices got together at one of their houses and played or speedran a shitload of games, it's a lot of good stuff. They even managed to find a reproducible hardlock bug during the train boss! the full playlist and the two videos with cuphead in them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqmQNlVMbT0&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gup1w3AoCw&hd=1 god what a gorgeous game. Any word on if they're doing any videos for it for the channel?

There's also something unironically enjoyable about the world's horniest/dumbest PI and his cop friend one week from retirement taking on this ridiculously evil conspiracy while being sabotaged by the indestructible NARC addicted yoghurt guy with a perfectly clean work record. Speaking of "great" things, Paige mentioned playing Harvester for Halloween last year and wanting to do it again. Is the original archived anywhere or was it before that started?

"This game's plot is really a total background element!" Meanwhile, Matt and Woolie spend the cutscene full of exposition talking about Shaft. I'm surprised it only took two attempts to get through the gondola level, I remembered that being tough.
