It’s one of my top five all timers, and my kid’s. Raising em right. I was just trying to figure out where this other fella was coming from.

I suppose you’re right, I guess I had a blind spot there. Haven’t played it.

I’ve never heard of B: AA described as a metroidvania… How do you figure that one?
I still haven’t gotten to Ori yet (a glaring omission I know). Never heard of the other one but I’ve wish listed it.
- Comment on Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias 1 day ago:
I’ve seen video essays about metroidvanias that talk about “getting lost”. The real point is to follow clues, feel immersed in a world, learn to find your way, and make interesting decisions.
In Hollow Knight, it’s no problem to use the compass if you find that aspect too burdensome. I really enjoyed my time with Axiom Verge, and I seem to recall it came with a compass as standard? Perhaps that’s wrong, it’s been a few years since I picked that one up.
More to the point, which metroidvanias did you like and what did they do differently?
- Comment on the person who abused(?) me (who I’m breaking free from and focusing on me💪) acted like this: is this common with certain mental health conditions? 1 day ago:
I feel the need to chime in to agree with the people saying that you need a sudden and complete exit strategy ASAP, but also, I hope you’ll forget trying to diagnose them or figure them out. It could be part of a mental disorder, but everything you listed could just as easily be emotional immaturity. It’s not your problem, and leaving will be easier once you accept that.

I see parts of myself in him, like if I was born a balding ginger Masshole manchild who somehow liked sports and cigars.
…Small parts.

Okay so I think I’m ready to resub to his podcast. I wasn’t sure about him for a minute.

When my kid’s your age I’ll be 52, which is practically middle aged by modern standards… If you eat your veggies.

There’s no question about it.

Oh, the “Mr. Wonderful” who almost single-handedly killed the educational software industry decades ago. Definitely your kinda guy.

I’m not here to split hairs, we’re both talking about the same problem. I’m still happy for them finding a way out.

Not bad! It’s a dictatorship, but aside from that I hear it’s quite a good standard of living. And I hear the food scene is immense.

It’s never been more true, the old saying that freedom ain’t free.
I’ve become an immigrant in the UK a few years ago when I had the good luck to convince myself all of this would happen sooner or later. Kept my citizenship so far because I wanted to vote against him this time. What’s your story?

Have literally sent work emails from the back of a cab on a highway with roundabouts. I may have a serious problem.

The toy doesn’t die and form an unbreakable death clench on me like my real dog would have. Easy to clean, 3 out of 5 stars.
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 3 days ago:
Yuuup. Ten times out of ten it’s a republican politician who needs to “think of the children” a lot less.
- Comment on Avowed Launches to Strong Reviews – WGB 5 days ago:
Seems like games with that good old novelistic style is now entirely dependent on indie developers.
- Comment on Avowed Launches to Strong Reviews – WGB 1 week ago:
I’ll probably get it if I hear Obsidian took any creative risks, but so far I’m hearing that it’s a mass appeal oversimplified ARPG with looter shooter vibes. Not really the kind of thing I crave from Obsidian.

Your dude wants to literally abolish the Department of Education, and your contribution is calling us fat.
Say one thing about the right, they sure know their electorate.

This isn’t a professional context, so 👍

This level of childishness in a professional context is such a red flag.

It’s just disappointing how few people are literate with standard occult practices. Never summon anything more powerful than you, never tell your innermost thoughts and desires to a demon, and if you are that stupid don’t brag about it. Real JV league demonology.
