the "this game isn't that creepy or tense, good vibes only" to "oh that giant mecha baby with old guy face that has an attack where his face opens up is just a regular enemy" journey

ran into a guy wearing a fanny pack tactical-style like a bandolier a couple weeks ago. you don't talk to such people but obviously i had a few questions
the other song here is "...baby one more time," a track so undeniable it easily overcame a swede writing a lyric where a teenage girl sings to her boyfriend "hit me baby one more time"
it's fucked up that something beats smooth by santana featuring rob thomas but it does
the people in charge of the greatest creative engine ever made -- for whatever they wanted, we already saw the big hanger where they just make stuff to ship to earth -- recreated midtown manhattan because they were sad it was gone. and they made it too sterile and clean. pragmata is a good game
he's so queasy that it brings his anti-bot prejudice out of him: people are warm. people have feeling. people are people. he says this staring at mannequins, among which robot enemies will eventually hide. diana, the robot child, is happy to hear about it, because hugh doesn't make it her problem
the first area in this game that matters is fake NYC. it's new york...kind of how you remember it. a 3D printed times square. you find a log that explains that the people that made it were sick with nostalgia for the NYC they remembered, and wanted it back. hugh is queasy bsky.app/profile/turt...
@ferrinus.bsky.social i should have tagged you on the post. the important one
have to say that the biggest offense this game is dropping on me in 2026 is that i have to play it left handed. or right handed. i cant use WASD is what i mean
people think tychus findlay is a good character. that's not true. he's got a really good voice actor and you've been conditioned to respect men who sound like they're excusing the confederacy in a ken burns documentary, that's all that is
would you be shocked to learn the fight continued
the first game is so well written and then in the first terran mission in SCII you walk into a government death camp with bodies everywhere and jimmy says "This is bad." and nothing else
anyway i have to play this stupid dogshit again for work so i'll be complaining about it on this account at 3 AM a bunch
most people will say the moment they knew starcraft II fucking sucked was when jim raynor shot a TV in a bar to make sure you knew he was mad at it, some 90 seconds into the wings of liberty campaign. for me though, it was a couple seconds before, when it became clear he had a perm and dye job
WATCHING! A! FILM!
5-10% is that the lighting is just really clean. you can see stuff. lot of great edge detail on the textures too
at least 40% of it is vibes around armor design on or around the protagonist
yes
watching a FILM!
watching a Film
matts everywhere for those with guys to see them
considering tonight, as i have many times, how close "Kash Patel" is to a star wars name
childhood is believing a cigarette smoking man calls the shots at the FBI. adulthood is knowing a tequila drinking man does
AL Central Ascendant
the royals and the tigers going 10-9 last night feels like dancing on a number of "smarter" teams' graves
insane amount of that going around for everyone but dodgers and...angels fans????
ben solo. my beautiful son. i named you after the oldest man i ever knew’s witness protection name
Losing The Right Way to a red brown nazi jackoff
the genius of pragmata for washed retirement community gamers is neither of its gimmicks are hard -- really simple, slow 3rd person shooting combined with a generous hack mini game -- but doing them together at the same time makes you feel like the Badass of the World
yeah more than a bit surprised since my impression of those guys most of the time is the catholic equivalent of cop unions
