"i'm not triggered or upset by or even ideologically opposed to it, i just associate it with something so bad that i can't enjoy it anymore" is such a frustrating relationship to have with a piece of media

it’s covered in the fucking ooze!!

look if chiropractics have helped you then i think that's great but i do think every chiropractor should be legally required to disclose the fact that the guy who invented it said he learned it from a ghost

Will never see eye-to-eye with anyone less than the people who treat their pets like wandering ronin instead of valued family members. Like oh there goes Bronson our uncollared, chipless chocolate lab out of the permanently open back door again. If he comes home in three days after subsisting on garbage we'll be mildly thrilled to see him again but if he succumbs to his natural predator, the 2006 Toyota Camry, that's just the circle of life

Wait, are you saying that homebrewing is bad?

much like modding, it's not bad and can be good and wonderful -- but if you need to do it for the game to be fun or functional then the game is bad

I feel like there's an analogy involving Bethesda to be made here somewhere.

yeah probably

What's the taking up half of the hard drive part analogous to?

dnd 5th edition is both extremely complex and poorly designed in a way that makes that complexity extremely difficult to learn and understand (averse to keywording, mechanics are often siloed off from each other, rules text is more interested in limiting players than empowering them). a lot of dnd players will say that learning other systems is 'too difficult' or 'too complex' when their baseline for 'the complexity of an rpg system' has already been set in the high stratosphere

The thing that surprised me the most about Red Dead Redemption 2 is that at a certain point in the game, people start dying left and right. There’s no ceremony, usually no warning. You’ll be on a job and the person that invited you gets shot and suddenly you’re in a town wide firefight just trying to survive. You don’t get time to process, you just have to move on. After the mission someone will mention that they buried the body and that’s it, even their horses are gone.

Their deaths actually hit really hard because you can choose to get to know these characters really well. At the beginning when everything is slow, you can spend your evenings in the camp listening to these people tell stories from their past or sing songs together. You play games with them during the day and chat about how they’re feeling, they take you on side quests to learn new skills. If you embrace the camp mechanics you spend a lot of time hunting for food to feed them and collecting resources so they have better housing and little decorations for the camp. Sometimes, Arthur opens up to one of the women about how conflicted he feels about what he has to do to protect his family and survive. Every interaction you have with them feels so authentic, even just greeting them in passing. They spend time with each other even when you’re not participating.

Once people start dying, the camp becomes quieter. People don’t sit around the fire as much. They spend more time apart and fight more when they do come together. You watch them all slowly lose faith in their leader as more of their loved ones are killed chasing the whims of a man who’s slowly losing himself. People go missing and you find out they’re dead. Your family gets smaller and smaller, and the people who were supporting the camp are gone so there’s more pressure on Arthur, and by extension you, to take care of them.

The quiet hits hardest after you get back from the Caribbean. You find the gang in a dark abandoned town in the swamps, having had to move for the 3rd time, and everyone is happy to see you but they’re so scared. Half the people that you spent the most time with are gone. It’s such a stark contrast from where you started. No one is singing songs anymore, no one is picking on someone else, even Jack wandering the camp like he usually is. Everyone is just different. Everything is different. I find myself grieving with them.

it's messed up that men with long hair can just cut their hair and then no longer be a man with long hair

Men don't exist for your aesthetic convenience...

this is simply not true.
