Walla posted:I'd hate to be famous. Could you imagine? Any time you left the house you'd have to stop and talk to anyone who recognizes you and take pictures and give autographs and kiss babies or be branded with a bad reputation. Multiply that pressure by maybe 100 if you're female. And gently caress dealing with the paparazzi. Due to a combination of my work and just living in London, I've crossed paths with people at varying levels of fame (or people who are in the orbit of the very very famous), and it sounds like it sucks. It doesn't help that nearly all celebrity worship is based around people in the performing arts, many of whom do what they do because they have a slightly broken need to be adored by everyone, so it just creates a really toxic and parasocial situation that changes people for whom the concept of fame is already this big dangerous drug. But even for those people it ultimately sucks, they lose a part of themselves, and they lose control over their anonymity. I can't imagine what it must be like to walk into any room, in public or in private, and have everyone jostle about and whisper to each other in a 'look who just turned up' kind of way. And then you have all the people who aren't on stage due to crippling personality disorders, and just love the craft of acting/performing/making art, and then won some cosmic lottery where suddenly they're propelled to stardom. And that must really suck because your reward for honing your craft is not only giving up your right to an autonomous and anonymous private life, but having the world constantly tell you you should be grateful because it's what you wanted, or that they are somehow fuelling your fame by watching your every move. I'm convinced that the best place to be in any art form is right in the middle. Not only is where all the interesting, fun, niche stuff happens, but your work will be celebrated by people who are really into that scene (an audience that will include many of those who are way in the upper echelons of super stardom), but you'll get to eke out a living and make a cultural contribution while still maintaining a huge degree of personal anonymity. And you won't be seen as a valuable enough commodity by the dark forces of capitalism where you'd otherwise be pressured into losing all your integrity in a million different ways. I don't know how this relates to games. I guess indie games are the last true games left? Idk

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Nier Replicant is full of absolutely hilarious black comedy and my favorite moment is something I never see anyone talk about. Spoilers for the first three hours of the game, Junkyard dungeon Not gonna lie, a decent chunk of Replicant’s black comedy doesn’t land for me cause part of the joke is often at least partly that kind of thing where they make fun of how tedious/repetitive/grindy the game can get, which feels a lot less smug than other kinds of self-referential humor but still falls flat because I’m not having fun. Like, for instance, there’s the very repetitive side quest that has you track down the one kid who ran away from home which takes you through the whole world tracking him down and then the twist is that his family were thieves who skipped town, you hosed up you dumbshit kid, no reward. Most rewards are pretty lame in Replicant anyway since you can just plant rice for money and most weapons suck compared to the one sword you can buy halfway through part 1 so it’s not even annoying to not get anything, but if they had cut out one sequence of bullshit it would have been hilarious cause one sequence ago my patience wasn’t already beyond spent. Automata works better IMO cause it’s just really, really amazingly stupid on top of being funner to engage with, like the one sidequests where you help stage a peaceful protest by killing all the robots opposed to the peace parade.

Never heard of Boktai. Looking it up I might be able to emulate Lunar Knights, but I'm not sure about the GBA games. Doesn't sound like my kind of thing anyway.

Boktai is an incredibly good game and is basically a weird evolution offshoot of hideo kojima's 2D metal gear games.
