I dunno...I'm thinking about it and I'm just still a bit reluctant to come back. It's not about the LoU2 and holding it sacred it's just the general feeling that any post I make can start a whole thing from someone I'm not sure is arguing something they believe or if they're just arguing because it's fun for them but either way. Like there are good posters in this thread that still just constantly stir poo poo and often with opinion I know they don't have and this year has been so so so so bad and I still haven't even been able to deal with the horriblenesss that was last year.

I'm sorry to dump that much on you thread out of no where. I mean I guess I never said why I left for a bit so that's been welling up for a bit, I just find it so frustrating sometimes and I'm not sure if I'm mentally in the place to handle it. It's not you, it's me. Really.

IDK, that kind of posting is tiring. People say everything is political so deal with it, but that doesn't mean you don’t occasionally need some respite from it.

This dude, the Gobbler King, wants to take over Colossus Boulevard in Wizard City



He gave me his royal decree and I had to take it over to Headmaster Ambrose so he could see for himself what the Gobbler King wanted.

Gonna have to keep the bloom off because that's nearing Lost Izalith levels of blinding.

that was one of the big reasons I liked the game a lot less than everybody else

The controls are immersive but it turns out realistic spaceship controls with realistic gravity kinda suck and are unfun imo

TLOU2 has a throwaway joke about a porno named Smash Brandi’s Cootch and I didn’t get the joke until someone pointed it out in one of the threads. :saddowns:

there aren't too many of these but yeah they're there. in most cases imo if you're getting heated or don't quite get how a puzzle works, it's not a bad idea to just put it aside and go check something else out. you may come back to that puzzle with more knowledge or at the very least more experience to help you clear it

unless you've checked everything else off and you're at the very very end I guess

One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
I have a hot take:-

I think the Neo Geo Pocket Color is a severely underrated console and that if it had been released at the same time as the Game Boy Color with just a few extra features like four buttons and if SNK wasnt literally on it's last legs financially during it's release it couldve been a real contender. It had great games for the time, the graphics were nice, and it only used two AA batteries.

There I said it.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"


I've read a bunch of articles about the public and critical reception to TLoU2 and the ones that don't mention all the labor exploitation coming out of ND are really dishonest. This one brings up the fact that Neil Druckmann way overreacted to Jason Schreier's tweet about video games being too long but with the context of "he's yelling at a guy who published an expose about ND's labor practices" it makes a lot more sense. Management in these studios see Schreier as an enemy seeking to tear them down, and they mention that fact, and even specifically talk about Cory Barlog's response to a different Schreier tweet regarding TLoU2, but they only talk about journalists' response to the leak and not the bigger, more important elephant in the room.

Like, I think it's obvious that the Metacritic review bombing is chuds, because that's what they do when they don't like a thing, but there's a lot of legitimate criticism of TLoU2 as a representation of the excesses of AAA gaming, and the huge amount of crunch that ND workers regularly go through is very much a part of that. It's not just people exhausted from the bleakness of real-life not wanting to deal with that in their escapist media, and it's not just gross homophobic chuds, although both of those elements are in play. If you only include those two elements it takes all of the pressure off of ND; it's not their fault, it's just bigots and poor timing.

Outer Wilds: man, I have like 4 distinct leads where I've done some stuff to push forward with them but now I'm what seems like a wall with all of them lol

I don't actually want any answers or to spoil myself but maybe writing things down will help me.... (outer wilds spoilers)

I found the black hole forge and after moving it, it looks like I need to use a Nomai teleporter to get there? But how?
I know I need to do something with the quantum moon but what? The "final rule" is in the Tower of Quantum Knowledge but how do I get up there?
The Dark Bramble is still a complete mystery. I followed the expedition music but that just leads to a dead-end? I have been able to avoid the anglerfish but the research from the Ember Twin fossil isn't actually helping me?
Using the clue from the observatory I was able to go beneath the Giant's Deep current to look for the probe tracking module. But all that's down there are electric jellyfish? It can't be a finding-a-needle-in-a-haystack, there has to be some trick...
