Long weekend and my Saturday morning class was cancelled. Time to snuggle up with some Stardew Valley.

https://mimidoshima.wordpress.com/2018/05/24/from-the-people-behind-melty-blood-and-uniel/amp/?__twitter_impression=truequote:It is customary for example to refer to the video game not as Death Crimson but as Death-sama (デス様). For the truly religious, they may glue the CD-ROM into the Sega Saturn’s disk reader, its lid from opening, and finally the light gun controller into the console to make the console permanently play the game forever. These consoles are called Death Saturns and players who successfully made these console modifications became legends.

I have too many games I started Nep vs Seha last week cause I wanted to play it and it was on sale. Then I went on a business trip, so I got Celeste because the Switch was the only gaming I was bringing with me. And during that trip the new ffxiv patch came out so I'm being pulled out of hiatus on that video games are too good imo

8 hours and about 2/3 through Detroit and I've seen almost nothing truly cringe worthy. The "press X to Sadness" picture is misleading. Markus is tasked with painting something, and you pick from four subjects, then pick from four emotions, each resulting in a different picture. So you might pick "humanity" then "empathy", or "identity" then "sadness".

It might be in a scene I didn't get to see because of branching because it looks like it's from earlier in the game than I'm at Point is, yeah there's some heavy handed symbolism and all but those moments are tiny compared to most of the game. I'm just going to shut up though because I'm 100% certain this is one of those cases where the goon echo chamber is so strong that everyone has decided long ago that the game is bad and refuse to even entertain the notion that it isn't.

Hey here's a better idea: Go throw Detroit in the trash and fire up Yakuza 0 because it's the best drama with a select group of characters that have an exciting and interesting tangle of conflicts with one another to come out in years.

I mean hey, if you like Detroit, like whatever. People are clowning on it because it takes all these very obvious references and homages to both fiction and actual history and treats them with little to no respect. I still watch the part of Awano punching the wall and Majima losing his poo poo on a semi-regular basis.

Those moments exist. But they really are a few moments out of hours and hours of content. One plot line contains pretty much none of that and one plot line contains very little of it.

But they really are a few moments out of hours and hours of content. One plot line contains pretty much none of that and one plot line contains very little of it. But you have to come to terms with the fact we live in very trying times, and seeing someone like Ken Levine or David Cage play fast and loose with what is a painful reality for so many people for the sake of schlocky videogame entertainment, is incredibly upsetting. It also doesn't deal with the class politics of the universe they're setting up, at all, while better media like Altered Carbon and to some degree Westworld have acknowledged it and embraced it.

Indigo Prophecy is the worst game I've ever played but I enjoyed Heavy Rain in the one played I did so I'm probaby willing to give Detroit a shot at some point.

Detroit looks bad and I fully support making fun of it but if you actually want to have more in depth discussions of how it's a bad game and what it does badly, I think you actually have to play it unfortunately. Like you can't just write off games journalist most of the time but take their word as law when you don't want to play a game but want to keep discussing it with someone that has for some reason.

This one even lets you start not just in any chapter, but at specific checkpoints in that chapter, to see things differently. edit: if you want to poo poo on the game for being heavy-handed, the most heavy-handed messages in the game have to do with Parental Issues and that All Men Who Aren't Androids Are Pieces Of poo poo precision fucked around with this message at 02:46 on May 26, 2018 |

On the other hand, Detroit:BC is a white guy ripping off a line from the world’s most well-known black social justice leader (MLK) with no mention of him and there is no reference or acknowledgement of black slavery besides one throwaway line from a Harriet Tubman knockoff. Press X to graffiti “I HAVE A DREAM,” but robots
