Over the Garden Wall (2014)
Scavengers Reign (2023)
Seeing these recommended I think I can trust your other two recommendations. Loved Scavengers Reign, and Over the Garden Wall was certainly not something I ever expected to turn out the way it did. I started it on a whim but ended up loving it.
Yeah, it definitely didn’t live up to any promises. I still had some fun, just not the fun that was foretold by the prophecies.
I preordered that one. It was…ok. Didn’t really get to play it much before it vaporized.
I modded it quite a bit to make it more enjoyable. Eventually just stopped playing without finishing everything though.
1000% agree. My friends badgered me into WoW back during the Burning Crusade era. Gods that shit was boring AF. And beyond being boring to play it was even more boring to look at. I don’t require top graphics in a game. But the oversimplified flat colors and design of everything was just so damn boring. Like at one point (last night I played actually) I was in an area and it was just like looking at a series of flat gradients next to each other. A brown gradient next to a blue gradient that faded into a white gradient. Fucking snoozefest. And there was zero exploration in the game. Don’t understand why there were big open areas when you have no point in exploring off the established beeline path. Fuck WoW.
I’ve played other MMOs since then. Some are better than others. ESO was fun for a bit but mostly because I like TES and really wanted to see Black Marsh, once I finished that area it wasn’t as fun. And once they dropped the skyrim expansion I quit. I’m not going back to skyrim. Spent enough time with the main game. FF14 was fun till it wanted me to get into groups. Dungeons sucked because I wanted to watch the stories and explore the dungeon but the randos all bitch about it and are annoying. Not to mention them losing their shit if you don’t attack exactly as they want so their minmax order of operations is just so. Lost Ark was actually pretty enjoyable too until I caught up to the current content. Then it became grindy and boring. I don’t mind some grind. But MMO grind is usually untenable for me.
Sorry, bitched about MMOs more than I intended. I mostly only play them to be with friends. But every one of them ends in the same disappointment for me. Not to mention the weird ass fucks I seem to find. I try to be nice but that seems to pull in even weirder ones.
Duke3D was definitely peak Duke. I didn’t love DNF either. It was just meh. Fun enough for the time I played it, but never went back to it.
Just pull the trigger and do it so you can know. Don’t rush it. Take your time enjoying the puzzle and piecing together the mystery. There is no rush, a couple moments require good timing but you’ll know what to do when they come up. It’s not everyone’s thing, but if it is your thing, you’ll wish to forget everything so you can play it anew.🙂
10·5 days agoThis invasion is not liberation. The perspective you have isn’t communist, it’s Russian government propaganda. You are either part of the source of that propaganda or have been misled by it.

Yeah definitely didn’t mean the literary reference.
SOMA as I reference here is a light horror game that dabbles in concepts akin to what I’m now learning is called quantum immortality. Though the implementation in game is probably more closely an experiment in applied ships of Theseus. It just asks the question and explores the concept of “what makes you, you”. Though you do have moments where you catch a glimpse of yourself dying.
Oh really? That’s kinda cool, I had no idea it had a name. I’ll have to search for more info on it.
I both love and hate finding out my weird thoughts have a basis elsewhere. On the one hand I like that there is more to learn about it and more opinions and perspectives to see. Sometimes makes me feel less crazy. On the other hand I don’t like being reminded that I have zero original thoughts. And I worry that we are all equally crazy. Lol
I suppose I should’ve done the same with AIPAC? 🙃
As the other commentor mentioned, SOMA as I referenced here, is a video game. Within the game you can momentarily see yourself die at times and it has some philosophical discussion around this concept and what makes you, you.
Another victim of the routine autopilot. It gets us all from time to time.
…these are the same kinds of people duped into voting for things against their own interest, they just know a lot about chemistry too.
An IT career led me to meet plenty of people like that. But those are some doozies. I feel like basic competency needs a certificate similar to a GED etc.
Jokes on them. I grew up with a 56k modem. I can wait a few seconds for the video to load.
That you know of. Muahaha
A pet schizoid head theory: Every time I have a weird thought about “what if I crashed here/drove into oncoming traffic/the boat I’m on sank/the plane I’m in crashed into another plane/hadn’t avoided a near death experience” that my original timeline is split and that thing did happen and I died but I’m hopped into the timeline where it didn’t happen and was just a thought. (It’d be kinda like SOMA where you can just see the glimmer of this concept at times)
Real theory that I can’t prove: All of the US government (with a couple small outliers) is run by Israel and its proxies and christofascism is part of that plan. And this isn’t an anti Jewish thing. I have nothing against Jews, I have everything against Israel. It’s an “AIPAC runs both parties and works with others to ensure the downfall of the us continues along their approved course” thing.
Edit: For the uninitiated SOMA as I reference here is a light horror game that dabbles in concepts akin to what I’m now learning is called quantum immortality.
Por que no los dos?
