When The Autistic Girl in my history class found out that I played dota 2, she would show me pictures on her phone of funny item builds that she had seen.
I wish I was nicer to people when I was in school.

Do Wreck-Em-Pants is my joker moment. Everytime I boot this game up I age a week.

At the end of Episode 2, 'Haunted' by Poe plays over a foggy screen, a blinking "press X to skip" sitting in the bottom left hand corner. This song, along with the rest of the tracks from the eponymous 2000 album form a companion piece of sorts to the much referenced and loved Mark Z. Danielewski novel House of Leaves.
When you buy House of Leaves you are intending to purchase a fictional novel, but no one has told the book that, and it will continue to present itself as a diary wrapped around an academic journal centering on a non-existent (in world and out of world) documentary about a house. Alan Wake is a game, it is very much a game to all of it's faults, but it desperately wants to be a TV Show about a writer who may or may not be living within his own manuscript.
Sadly in the year of our lord 2023, the monkey paw has already curled and we can't ask for a world where Remedy and Sam Lake just made a TV Show instead because Quantum Break exists and no one gave a shit.
In the pilot episode of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer's body is washed up from Black Lake. The 2008 australian indie film Lake Mungo opens with footage of a young Alice Palmer being dredged from the aforementioned Lake. In Alan Wake, Alice Wake finds her own way out of Cauldron Lake.

Hit Trailblazer 40 and suddenly forgot why I was grinding this game out. Retroactively justifies my hate for Genshin. Calling out gacha as being the problem deflects from the ACTUAL problem - stamina. Anything worth doing costs stamina in such large amounts for such low rewards that it does not feel worth it to play/watch these tedious battles; but you need the 30 different currencies on offer to make the numbers go up... And then what?
The presentation and sophistication is purposely deceiving to keep you from realising that there is actually very little reason to get attached to these characters or even download this game in the first place, there is no pay-off, there is no endgame.

Never play against the guy wearing gloves.

This is exactly like that ttrpg where you roll 2 dice and if your dice is bigger you get to roll the dice again but add 1 to each number until you lose.
2023
Well suited for mobile play sessions (even if those play sessions are little bit longer than would be comfortable). Quite similar to something like Mini Metro, with the recycling phase having a net-negative effect on how the end state of each level is perceived (which probably says something about my obsession with seeing sci-fi white domes and windmills dotted around a landscape).

Please cry more about how hard games are, it makes my slightly above average skill and resilience feel like a feat.

if Sifu was a 2006 PS2 game developed by Clover Studio you would all be shitting and pissing.

RE4 wasn't THAT good to begin with. Really wish this was just the village section for 12 hours (even RE8 fails on that promise though).
god i hate atari and their 12 year old looking ceo trying to salvage the company despite it's lack of ANYTHING MEANINGFUL IN THE 21ST CENTURY, pumping NFTs and dumping copypastas of 'DAE pong?' wherever it goes. This is the most toothless presentation of Atari's shit ass legacy but at least we got to find out that the programmers smoked weeeeeddd duuuudddee.
Digital Eclipse, my sweet child, none of this is aimed at you, you could never do wrong, though I do question wtf the new ReImAgInEd games are doing here and why The Stacks has been self-inserted? I thought we all agreed Ready Player One was a trash book?

Eschews and predates tracker-style sequencers á la Popstar Maker or Music 2000 showcasing a primitive but laser-focused and specific A-B loop machine loaded entirely with breakbeat samples and korg synth pads, breeding a type of creativity suited for its tight limitations.
Dolphin mode takes a nonsensical approach to unlocking new samples which is easily exploitable but misses out on the dynamic divergent 'gameplay' you may expect.
