If you wanna be on a list, start collecting old army field manuals. It's one thing to say "we should start fire bombing McDonald's," it's another thing to say "we should start fire bombing mcdonald's, and here's instructions on how to do it"

Not that we should be firebombong McDonald's lol I would never recommend that

But I would recommend reading TM 31-201-1, especially pages 78-82

On a totally unrelated note, TM 31-201-1 page 78-82

Hi-Fi Rush | 9/10

The score went up an entire point when The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die started playing. I really hope this gets a sequel.

I'm so happy I didn't know that song was in the game. I personally rate it 10/10, a perfect blend of gameplay, story, and soundtrack, with bonus points for managing to toe the line between goofy and sincere. That part at the end ("I am a rockstar") had me bracing for someone to point out how cheesy it was, and no one does. I love a piece of media that doesn't make fun of you for getting invested.

I realize I need to finish more games. The only four I beat this year were

Baldur's Gate 3 | 8/10

I'm gonna be real, the replay value is not really there for me. My wizard and my co-player's paladin are the big damn heroes, and I have trouble getting into another character. I'm not gonna get a better ending than the one I got with _______ and ____, and it feels weird being as into Karlach as I was, and then just pushing her aside and dating someone else

Outriders | 8/10

The world needs more games like this. I love that everyone recognizes that the Outrider is essentially a god. The Russian roulette scene alone brings this up from a 7, but the rather unsatisfying ending brings it down from a 9. I don't love that they imply some big war between the altered humans, and then ditch that halfway through. The fact that Moloch is introduced as a BBEG and then you kill him in an optional endgame side mission is disappointing. The DLC though, that kicked ass... Right up until the rather unsatisfying end, again. It's certainly much better than the main game, which isn't really that bad to begin with. I just want to know what the Outrider learned in that ancient vault.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand | 7/10

Don't get me wrong when I say 7/10. It's one of my favorite games I've ever played, and I want more games like it. It's hard to explain why exactly I like it so much, but I think I can sum it up with: many other games are rather exhausting, either mentally, or emotionally. This game doesn't expect a lot from the player, except for proficiency with the simple combat system. The story is simple—there's an evil god, you find a magic gauntlet that can maybe kill that god, action ensues. I can count on one hand the number of characters that I feel like the game wanted me to remember or care about.

It's a fun game, solid 30 hours to 100%, 7/10 absolutely recommend.

Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga | 7/10

It wasn't as good as the first game. Or maybe it's that it wasn't as better than the first game as it could have been. A large part of why the first game was so engaging to me was the loneliness. It was just me and the furies, and the puzzles we were solving. Senua's Saga introduces a few primary characters, and villages full of people, which dampens the furies' affect on me. The game was also much more confusing. In the first game, it's entirely nebulous what was real and what was in Senua's head. You can interpret it as a literal descent into the underworld to attempt to reclaim her lover's soul, or an entirely figurative descent into her own psyche to overcome the grief of losing him, or somewhere in between. Ironically, this makes it easier for me to parse, because there's no apparent contradictions. The sequel makes it explicitly clear that Senua is engaging, at least somewhat, in real life. This makes it more confusing, because

Let me know if the spoiler tags didn't work in your client. I think combining the ::: and the >!!< should cover all bases

If you aren't being watched by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies, you're boring

Man, if the fact that Luigi, the smiling man, and the actual shooter are visibly three different people isn't enough of a defense, nothing is. The ruling class wants to see someone punished for this crime, and rule of law bends to their will. He will be sentenced to life in prison or death by the end of this month, mark my words.

This bugs me so much more than it should. Why do we have three different standards for + shaped screws? You know what doesn't have this problem? Flatheads. There's exactly one way to make a flathead screwdriver, and I won't be looking it up to make sure I'm right

I see that multiple people have replied, but unfortunately reading these comments would be a form of research so I must decline

Just as soon as they're done installing suicide nets on every business, they'll start to root out the rampant capitalism that drives the unbearable work environments that have people jumping off of their workplaces

I'm pretty sure I read that the new Dragon Age gives you an opportunity to make your character explicitly trans. Not just with character creation, but an actual dialogue choice that has an effect on how people refer to you

Here's an article about it. I haven't played it yet, so I can't really offer any other insight

This is the most me irl post I've ever seen

I assume it'd because it's someone's incredibly private information, and they want to make sure they don't give it to some random Joe. I know if the police had naked pictures of my kid, I'd be happy if the process of getting copies took more than just showing my ID and getting a thumb drive

Kansan here. It's pronounced "double-you," but my mouth tends to skip past the L so it sounds more like "dub-you" or "dub-yə"

That doesn't really work though... You could say the same thing about any demographic, and it would be correctly called out as racist/sexist/homophobic/etc
