going through the reviews and seeing that bud lite simulator made them CRY really made me stop and think.
we are friends. we are such good friends and by the way this is me speaking directly into your ear and telling you that we are friends. We are actually best friends and this game? I made it for you because we are actually best. Friends. Ok now go talk to this character but dont talk to them too because because we are the only friends. Why arent you listening to me when i Told you we were best friends. Youre such a shit fuck friend and i fucking hate you. Neutral ending for you.

@HotPicklePizza thank you i strive only to have good thoughts
@moschidae i do try not to dunk too hard on people for having a very different experience to mine even if i do find it to be a little silly. at the end of the day it's harmless. i think buddy simulator is a soulless and remarkably badly written game but if it managed to move you then that's what it accomplished for you. going in too hard on people for having bad game opinions is an act of inviting vampires into my home to do the same to me. all it would take for me to crumble like a house of cards would be for someone to tell me that disco elysium is cringe because i just wouldnt be able to deny it

I try to write my completion Criteria for reviews if I remember (and it is actually a review).
I know the argument is "when" but just because you never mentioned it, a lot of arcade games with no ending loop so thats a valid "complete" decision (as you have beaten all content). Multiple Endings is an interesting on my thoughts on Hades changed drastically between the first few loops and the true ending epilogue for the worst. On the other hand, I stopped playing void stranger after hitting credits with a poor outlook but I am told that that was just the beginning.

Loved this! I hope you're able to justify abandoning more games, it will free your soul
