Say goodbye to whatever in-game morals you think you have. CotL is wildly addicting in an amusing way.
You’re pretty much right on the money that the lamb is kind of a “blank slate” for a player self-insert. Freedom of choice (for you, not your followers, ofc) is the name of the game.
When I had noticed that I could sacrifice one of my followers in a skill tree, I figured I might have to sacrifice some of my own morals. It does make me tempted to try to keep as many morals as possible though just for the challenge
Playing Silksong. Knee-deep in act 2, or at least I think I am. I’m starting to see a lot of similarities between this game and Bloodborne (Team Cherry have never been afraid of saying how much they love FromSoft games, isn’t it?)
Recently a gamed called Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the uncooked Schnitzel released and I originally wasn’t gonna buy it because I thought it was gonna be a switch exclusive. Either way, I bought it when I found it is also on Steam. The trailer on steam and probably yt as well should tell you enough about this kinda silly game that I spent a few hours over the weekend playing.
I also started playing Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time on my steam deck since the disc copy I got keeps freezing in 2 PS3 consoles. First world in and I give it a yikes. The other games definitely had some probably slightly offensive stereotypes, but the 4th game opening up with a level called “Turning Japanese” and the way Rioichi speaks rubs me kinda wrong, despite it being a fun game.
Otherwise, I just got back into Slay The Spire and am still hate playing the Oaken Tower beta demo.
Edit: first game I listed came out January 18th. Made by a small German indie studio.
I don’t know that series but, my introduction to gaming was when the zombie genre was all the rage, and, I was aaaaall over that shit. I loved it in it’s gory, disgusting and apocalyptic glory.
A few years after that, (like 7 years aprox) I attempted to replay some of those titles and holy shit the nightmares it induced me were unreal. I finished one of the playthroughs but I realized that I was just no longer equipped to handle it, and it’s ok. I remember those times fondly but theres no need to put myself through that level of mental anguish; I’ve since found other things to love.
You can give it a try and see how you react to it, that was just my experience.
It’s funny how, with all the “but who’d think of children!”, the actual kids don’t really care much about violence and gore on their screens. It’s more that when they grow up they become terrified of it. Maybe we need to make gory media strictly for 18 yo or younger :D
XD perhaps, I do feel like the interactive nature of videogames changes things a bit, and I didn’t try gaming until I was a (young) adult, so idk how I would have handled it as a kid.
I did have completely unrestricted access to media from like 12 yrs old on, and blood and gore never really fazed me much in fiction.
Maybe the gained experience from life is what makes those things (violence, catastrophe, etc) more realistic and thus horrific.
motors have been getting better but having both the max speed and max strength of a human arm at the same time in that small a space with a reasonable cost and power consumption remains difficult afaik
but it would be so much fun to design new arm parts, little gizmos etc
i would absolutely make my arm play doom, have a built in flashlight, battery bank, reactive rgb lights, modular customization, etc. since I have to be wearing a bulky electronic thing anyways…
there’s a guy on youtube who lost most of his hand who’s machined a very incredible purely mechanical replacement (no electronics)
I have recently finished my 4th playthrough of FFX and am now playing Final Fantasy IX for the first time. Blind, so far about 25 hours in and I’m liking it a lot. The more light-hearted, cartoony story style isn’t usually my cup of tea, but the game is charming and despite a lot of junky writing, as is typical for Final Fantasy, I am emotioanlly invested in the future of these characters. The combat is also really nice and I like how well balanced and paced it is. I’d say it’s on the harder side as Final Fantasies go. Still not hard, but just spicy enough for casual play. I’m looking forward to finishing it probably sometime this week.
Yeah, to some degree I get it. The guy does need help with some things and can’t perform certain physical tasks. And it is an entirely different thing to be tolerant to that vs. being married to it.
But the guy is kind-hearted, educated and sporty. He’s missing an arm, but others might be missing a brain or a heart, which I feel are much more detrimental for a partnership.
Unfortunately, though, dating someone with a visible impairment really gets the gossip going, and people are scared of that, so I guess, it’s better to date a dumb ass instead.
Having said all that, the guy is married by now and has a healthy son, so all is good in the end.
