Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you is going to pass this course.
the no commentary longplay videos are great because the people making them know what they're doing. The way they tend to pace and move efficiently but not necessarily quickly through the game makes them really good to watch when I don't want to pay for a game. There's a really good Resident Evil 8 one I just watched over the past week or so.

I've said it before in this very thread, but it is weird how games are like the only media where to get all the content, you have to pass a skill check. Like if there was a book, and you got 'To read the final chapter, demonstrate an understanding of the central themes, and explain the significance of the conch' it would be kinda hosed up and potentially a bit classist. Like I get that games aren't as 'important' necessarily, but, y'know, all the same, it's sort of weird that someone without good aim doesn't get to see how the end of your favourite game* plays out.


I dunno I’ve seen people just completely bounce off of books not because it wasn’t their jam, but because they literally just couldn’t understand what was going on or it was too “complicated” or yes, their words, too “difficult” for them. But then we get into questions like “is reading ability a skill?” Or “When is it the authors fault and when is it the readers?” (Which is actually a question you can ask about game difficulty).

Very strange and crazy how the only medium that is not only based around user input, but in fact literally the only one capable of factoring it, is also the only one which correlates user input to content! Big brain analysis here.

Have you ever noticed that places which sell food and drink are the only public venues which really utilize the human sense of taste? They don't ask me to taste anything when I make a deposit at the bank, or buy a new tire for my car. How curious!

I wish books would stop me reading if I was bad at reading them. I've read books where I had no clue what was going on but I still finished them because of toxic literacy. Didn't have any fun but got the cheevo I guess

Just try and tell me that playing Drakengard and Deadly Premonition is a better experience than the SA LPs.

You get to see 100% of what the games have to offer without the hours of playing through the exact same content multiple times.


Elentor’s FF7 LP is good (even though I like playing the game) because the translation makes the story a lot harder to understand than it should be.

It’s also interesting to see how people from different countries relate to the story. I think what makes FF6, 7 and 10 so popular is that the stories have much more relevance to real-world issues than “we have to save the crystals that control the elements!” over and over again.

Sadly it is not a better Crusader Kings game.

Oh right, I forgot that Old World even existed. It got subsumed by Humankind in my mind, I should check it out.
