Medium take: I would fucking mail my left thumb to the first studio to do a good job with a proper Animal Man series. That thing was bonkers.

The opposite of a hot take: The Invisibles in unfilmable

🤣 Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.

I thought the same thing. I guess we live in a society?

There’s a lot of very specific language in this reply. Anything / anyone you’d suggest reading to substantiate the historicity of this “aggressive victimhood” as you’ve explained it here? Maybe this national inability to conceive of compromise?

Because I’m no Russophile, admittedly; but all this sort of sounds like waffle and drivel to me.

A delicate point, thoughtfully made. You’ve convinced me.

🎶MARCHING as to WAR!🎶

If that’s what you meant with your original comment then I deeply regret engaging with this at all 🤣

Have a nice day.

Shifting the goalposts on behalf of OP, but whatever. Where are you guys coming from?

Narrative games of any scope are almost inevitably going to bump into themes like hierarchy, power dynamics and moral dilemmas. That doesn’t make them “political” in the sense that they’re directly discussing real events around you. I won’t presume anything about your personal position here, but OP gives the impression that if a fantasy game depicted a fictional race subjugated by another he would start complaining that it was woke.

If you want a story without those things you largely need to pick a different genre.

Good to see my sixth sense tuned to useless bullshit is still working. I knew some joker was gonna call me out on Tetris 🤣

Doom? Tetris? Need for Speed? Wii Tennis? WTF are you talking about?

That dude was an asshat who had seven years to sort out the training and licensing he needed to avoid all this. It sucks the squirrel and the raccoon died like this, but that dude was making money of them as performers without any of the paperwork that would allow them to get vaccinated or any kind of medical treatment at all.

I do not understand why everyone thinks this guy is some wounded hero.

Rare for a PC Gamer review these days; that was actually quite well-written.

If you don’t know you live in America you should quickly go check. It makes a big difference knowing where you live!

Sounds like that could go both ways. “Don’t threaten me with a good time” sort of deal.

Brick. By Rian Johnson with Joseph-Gordon Levitt and Lukas Haas was very deliberately a throwback to good ol’ hard boiled detective noir.

I thought it worked quite well. It has an excellent on-foot chase sequence, if nothing else.

I don’t know if that’s specifically their issue, but holy shit this guy’s not kidding. Dead butt syndrome is 100% a thing.

TIL

These dudes and their weird tubby gut, butt pushed all the way out, shoulders hunched forward posture. Drumpf and Orban are serious offenders, but there are SO many in their echelon of society when you start looking out for them.

I felt so seen by that pc gamer article talking about how the author had been playing Alien: Isolation for ten years without ever finishing it.

I am that person exactly. I love it, but I have a very limited constitution when it comes to how long I can play that game without needing a long enough break that I should probably just start it over 🤣

Cool of you to respond :)

My app has it in the three dot menu to the bottom right of the reply interface.

YMMV, but the ::: format is in the spoiler for you to see as an example.
