If it’s any consolation, it has a pretty excellent catalog and has been my favorite PS since 2. I’m just a sucker for immersion, though, and the controller has that in spades.

Well then the company has no proof you were actually sick, and next thing you know you have a meeting with HR and your supervisor asking about where you currently are in all your work. Unpaid is not automatically excused

Bill Murray as God trying to tell Norton-Adam about sin, while Dafoe-Satan in snake form tries to convince Swinton-Eve to eat the apple. Jason Schwartzman voices the apple. Adrien Brody and Jeff Goldlbum get to be 2 of the 3 wise men, the third is just Bill Murray in another costume. Even the blood is pastel. Only 20% of the film is not stop-motion miniatures.

Buldak tries too hard imo. Pretty much inedible, hard to appreciate the flavor if it’s covered in concentrated capsaicin. Shin Black and Neoguri are good spice levels and have good flavor though.

That Clayton fight was also the reason I celebrated skippable cutscenes in FM. I picked it up again myself just for funsies, and I thought, “Hey. You’ve been doing some souls-likes and souls-lites. You can handle Kingdom Hearts of all things” before starting on Proud mode…
Sigh at least it’s not “Get up on the hydra’s back!” from 2. But unfortunately, I am a completions so still quite the grind. It will be worth it though. Right…?

Used to hit the bar every Friday. Now I have a bottle and a half of wine gathering dust in my fridge. I opened the half bottle a month ago.
Tbh nowadays, weed makes me feel good and alcohol makes me feel hot, sweaty, and sleepy. Maybe im just getting old though

From what I understand they moved away from the Rand stuff pretty hard and publicly distanced themselves from it. I honestly never got anything but wholesome vibes from the dudes, even if they were a bit misguided in their early years. Their songs are usually about fostering connections with others, doing your own thing, and accepting others who are doing the same. That just translated into hyper-individualism and maybe buying into red scare propaganda in the seventies. The USSR and China really had a bad taste in everyone’s mouth when it came to communism. Not saying they’re perfect or that i agree with it, but i can see how they got there.
Oddly enough, for all its Rand influence, 2112 goes fuckin hard. Discovery was an absolute delight to me as a musician, and Priests is still raw af.
- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 3 months ago:
Far Cry Blood Dragon’s tutorial section. The game is very aware of how impatient gamers are to get to the killing, and milks it for all the time it can while the PC grumbles about annoying tutorial sections. They throw in a ton of extra dialog boxes like accompanying reading recommendations, obvious tips,etc.
The whole game is meta and corny on purpose. If you like '80s action movies and sci-fi, they packed just about every trope possible into this thing. Heavily recommend if you haven’t played it.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 months ago:
It’s a bunch of stressed, impatient parents who just want to grab their kid and get out, but are apathetic to everyone else trying to do the same. If all these other people weren’t here they could do this so fast, why won’t everyone get out of their way? It’s a highly concentrated dose of the “Im gonna get mine and the rest of you can fuck right off” mentality. And, like most shitty driving behaviors, it feeds into itself. It makes good drivers make bad decisions because, if they don’t, they’re not going anywhere. “No one is letting me in, so if I dont cut someone off, I’m going to be stuck here another 15 minutes” type shit. I dont know why well-built pickup and drop-off areas aren’t required for building schools past 1990, but here we are.

I find the best lore raises more questions than it answers, and Lake and his team do that in spades. And you absolutely should give it a play with some more Alan Wake under your belt. Even outside the DLC they have lore connecting the two games all over. And of course, it only leaves me with more questions than I had. Another dead letter:
To the Esteemed Members of the American Psychiatric Council,
I am writing you to inquire about the significance of dreams in relation to one’s mental health? I am aware that there are many books purporting to contain the True meanings of dreams, but I have reservations about their legitimacy.
I understand that this is not usually done, but if I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on my Condition. Ever since I was young, I have had intensely-vivid dreams. They only occur sporadically, but in them I witness very strange events. I understand dreams can seem real at the time, but these feel markedly different. They do not occur often, perhaps only one or two a year.
Last night I had one. I saw a small, empty town. It was utterly dark. There was a Lake at its center. Shadows of people moved around me, muttering odd things. A bright light woke me up. I was screaming in my sleep. My wife had been shaking me for minutes before I woke.
Because of this recent incident, I have decided to seek help. The doctor says I am physically fine, but I wanted to consult your Expertise. Thank you for your valuable time.
Yours Very Sincerely,
Richard Bowker
Like, how many people did this event affect? It clearly wasn’t limited to Bright Falls and close associates of the artists the Dark Presence is feeding off of. This is some unrelated schmuck living who knows where, and he’s having dreams of the Bright Falls event. And this wasn’t even in the DLC. The Lovecraftian web of influence of other planes of existence in these fictional games fascinate me so damn much.

Absolutely, although I’m a Containment/Panopticon fan myself. Langston’s dialogue is great, especially in the AWE dlc. Dead Letters is close behind though. The fish letter is excellent.
Playing AW2 right now after having watched a Quantum Break playthrough, so I’ve got the Remedyverse on my mind constantly and see it in everything. Such a dope company, can’t wait for the next control. I think it’s next on their development list, so hopefully soon!

Write letters to the press. Ripped from Control:
Dear New York Tribune,
Airplanes aren’t real. I figured out how they do it.
The windows are TV screens. The whole thing moves on big tracks like a rollercoaster that moves through underground tunnels in the Earth. Airports are more like train stations.
They do this because the sky is full of monsters that they don’t want us to know about. The planes we see in the sky are the monsters. The government made the Earth-trains look like the monsters so they could lie to us better.
Don’t contact me.
Not real, obviously, but clearly the most effective tactic when no one takes your 100% legit theories seriously.
- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 4 months ago:
Oddly enough I have a reverse relationship with this game compared to many others in the thread. I played Dishonored first, and I feel like THAT game spoiled the stealth genre for me. I tried Thief chasing that feeling and was sorely let down. I think if I’d played Thief first like a lot of you guys, I might have that attachment to it. And I know that Thief is likely a large reason why Dishonored exists to begin with, especially with the level design in mind. It just didn’t feel compelling to play, game mechanic wise or story wise. I ended up wanting to just play Dishonored halfway through. I pushed through till the end, it just felt like a worse version of a game i loved. May give the second one a shot, might stick with me more. But the first one left a not-so-pleasant taste
