I got some real Focus M vibes from the cutscenes.
My friend said it was just 90s game-styled dialogue, I said what fucking 90s games are you playing?

That’s chill, I apologize if I came across in an aggressive manner.
- Comment on Anon plays PRAGMATA 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. I’m confused why you’re singling me out when it’s the other comments that are borderline spoilers. Clearly he already knew something different happens after a little playtime, even before these other comments.
I’m not really trying to start a shitfight over verbage, which is why I’ve edited it so we can all rest easy. But it feels a little like walking on eggshells to avoid saying there’s

a twist
in a 10-year-old masterpiece primarily known for

its twist. I even knew about the twist when I decided to play it. Still a 10/10. Even these spoiler tags kinda imply something big is going to happen, should they read without looking. Yes, it would be cool if everybody could watch the Sixth Sense fresh for the first time, but it’s just kinda not in the nature of discussing things that hinge on a twist.

While I’ll edit my comment to be more careful, I don’t think that it ruins it in this case, especially without knowing what exactly happens. This user clearly has heard the buzz already.

Yes, keep playing! It plays it totally straight for wn hour or so, then the twist ruins your life.
- Comment on Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath? 3 weeks ago:
Because we apply human traits to God, and because being emotionless doesn’t necessarily indicate being higher than someone else.
In most traditions, God is incomprehensible to humans. Polytheistic religions break God down into multiple Gods or Goddesses with different characteristics, which is how they explain all of the events assigned to God. Lightning happens because of Zeus, etc.
For religions that don’t break God down into different aspects, it’s one of those things that kinda justifies itself. Bad things are happening so God is mad, if God is mad he has to have a good reason because he’s omnipotent. That’s where the faith part comes in.
Abrahamic religions especially have a father/child or teacher/student dynamic between God and humans. A major negative of the Fall of Man was that we had separated ourselves from God and could no longer could wander the Garden of Eden.
The implication is that God knows more than us, and to have faith that he acts for the good of humanity even if we don’t understand in our limited knowledge.
We like to think God cares about us.

I just expect funny, honestly.
He comes across as an angry man that doesn’t know how to grip an audience anymore. As evidenced by the fact that he’s more interested in the lecture than the joke.

Keyword: professional.
These last few years have seen old comedians finding it hard to update their style. They’re the ones hyperfocusing on people not finding their jokes funny, at this point. I defended Dave Chappelle at first, but it seems his standup has become the feel sorry for me hour.
I think Ricky Gervais especially exaggerates how offensive his material is just to have something to talk about. Carlin is a prime example of bitchy old man humor done right. But that’s just my opinion.

He is. That’s like his whole act nowadays. Suuuper lame.
- Comment on I used to be a fan 🤦♂️ 4 weeks ago:
You have every right to make shitty jokes, just don’t be offended when no one laughs.

- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 1 month ago:
and this is all you get for beating it:
There’s certainly dogshit nowadays, but I don’t think modern gamers understand that NES games set the price standard that is just now changing. A $50 game, I believe, is around $180 adjusted for inflation. You buy Forspoken, you get your refund, and then you buy Halo on sale for $4 instead. You buy Ghostbusters, and that’s your game. That’s the game you have. Play it, or don’t.
Thank goodness for rentals.
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 1 month ago:
Ghostbusters on NES.
I was a kid that inherited an NES from a family member, so they already had a ton of good games. Double Dribble, Super Mario Bros, Adventure Island. A lot of hits.
But there were also a bunch of cool games, or so I thought. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That looks cool. Ah, this is kinda advanced for a kid. It must be a me problem. Well, let’s check out this Ghostbusters game.
That’s when I realized that games could be dogshit. The whole game’s music is a 30-second loop. The gameplay doesn’t even make sense, and to this day I have not tried to learn it. Nay, I refuse to.
I felt so vindicated when I found the AVGN as I got older.
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 month ago:
Fallout 3, when I was 15. I had read the strategy guide (with no pictures) at my library, and struggled to even comprehend a game that expansive.
Hell yeah, it was worth it.

Wise advice.

If someone told me they AI face scanned me because I was moody and have acne I would honestly let them have it.
Sounds like she needs to see a doctor.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 month ago:
Depends on the area and the fuckhead you’re dealing with.
I got some weed with some kind of upper in it once. That was me being a stupid teen tho lol.

- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 1 month ago:
Fallout New Vegas set my expectation for quest choice and faction interactivity. I could go on about that, but everyone knows what people think about New Vegas.
Last year, I beat Dark Souls. That’s now set my standard for RPG gameplay. There’s bullshit, same as any game, but I don’t think I’ve ever played another RPG where I’ve felt my skill going up alongside my in-game stats. Then you get to the Bed of Chaos, and that kinda goes out the window…
