I believe it still exists, it’s called “Save the World” mode, but it’s extremely background for the game, to the point where the switch port doesn’t have it, or I would’ve tried the mode by now, it appeals to me, but the Battle Royale doesn’t, so I guess I just won’t play Fortnite.

Dark Souls 3, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Dishonored 2, Prey 2016, Batman Arkham City.

There are a bunch more that I would’ve done if they had NG+, but alas.

I like that, suddenly is sudden to the listener, all of a sudden is surprising to the story’s characters, and makes the listener anticipate that surprise without being able to warn them about it

I can definitely go for that. I think the book in its own right is important for that, and is a great overview of that topic, and wouldve been a lot more impactful if I naturally found it, read it, discussed it with others.

Instead I got the whole overview of what it was trying to do first, had already discussed everything it covers in school, and then they made us read it and it resulted in my experience of “why am I reading this, we sort of went over this in three different ways already”

I find the biggest difference in itch scratched between Diablo-like ARPGs and Halls of Torment is that the pacing is very different. Diablo has a lot more player control over when there are breaks in the action providing downtime for the player to sort through gear and abilities. Halls of Torment sort of has that when you’re making choices, but it’s waaaay faster

It has a bit of resemblance, in that it’s a dark fantasy action game in which the player character fights a very large number of enemy units in order to level up and increase their power while fighting bosses interspersed throughout, occasionally upgrading abilities and acquiring gear. and of course the art style is directly cribbing Diablo 1.

But in the nitty gritty of how the combat works, how the gear and abilities work, the format of the levels and win condition of the game and pretty much everything else, it’s very different from Diablo.

Had to read Animal Farm for school. Haven’t read it since then, so this could be a now incorrect edgy high school opinion, but I felt that its allegory was so obvious and direct that it had no need to be written and was a waste of time to read when we could’ve just directly discussed communism instead.

It Takes Two. Phenomenal game, decent emotional story behind it

I mean, not entirely. I went to see Longlegs recently, that was amazing and not a reboot rehash. When Makoto Shinkai releases an anime film my theater will have it there. I never thought I’d be able to see anime films on the big screen.

Studio Ghibli did a Ghibli Fest last year showing old movies again in theaters, I watched Spirited Away and it was great. Tickets are usually like 14 bucks, and yeah, buying snacks at a theater is for dummies, just sneak something in or have the self control to not snack at the movies.

You have some valid points, but are being very hyperbolic. Not all movies are reboots and it doesn’t cost all that much compared to other date ideas and such as long as you have some self control.

Periphery’s “Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal”

Big ups for Everything You’ve Come to Expect

I think reading this post halved my brain cells.

They are good posts, IMO. The title may not be extremely clean, but they’re also not unreadable nonsense, and I’ll take good content with less than perfect presentation over nothing.

“bro, is it just me, or did they never turn the screen on?”

“I dunno man, I’m watching it just fine”

The demo for this was fucking awesome, I’m ready

You probably can’t “win” at naming cars, but I would say you did.

I’m not saying Emily has it coming to her, but… She might have it coming to her.

When the penny drops it means that someone realizes something that had been happening to/around them, while they were unaware.

Always loved watching playthroughs of this on YouTube! It’ll be great to finally play it myself.

I’m supporting you from another angle, not contesting you, my argument goes against OP’s suggestion, and yeah I don’t think OP was being literal, but it’s a fun thought experiment
