November is quite cold where I’m at, we like to go hiking or skiing. Or staying in and watching movies. A nice dinner with friends? I hope I gave you at least one good idea what to do in November.
But you can go out and vote for a sociopath and genocide denier or for a racist rapist and when those clowns start killing and bombing some other people somewhere on the globe, you can just blame the Chinese or Icelanders for making you vote for a lesser evil…
Life’s good either way…
Ask the people in Gaza what they think about "Roe got overturned".
After all said and nothing done, we are paying for those bullets that murder their children by accepting and even promoting a system that gives us braindead mouthpieces for weapon manufacturers to vote for.
Still not finished Signalis.. struggling a bit with free time for gaming. Just wanted to say, I do play games for story and/or atmosphere. Like watching a movie, and I do like my movies to have a story or atmosphere.
I hated the gameplay (for being very easy) and the story was meh on Death Stranding, but the mood and the feel of that game won me over, so I finished it and even went back to try 100%ing it.
My job makes me having social interactions for most of my day, so a game that gave me the feeling of isolation and loneliness like Death Stranding 2 or 3 hours before sleeping was kind of pensive at the time. Few weeks after finishing the game, Covid happened, and since then I had few instances of isolation IRL, and it wasn't nearly as introspective as Death Stranding. So I look fondly on that game even tho all the gaming aspects of it were boring IMO. Just the atmosphere was great.
So yeah, I can consume any media if the atmosphere and/or story is enjoyable or challenging (in a positive way)
I will check the video, I like video essays.
It's not game breaking. the clunkiness shows in combat situations, but you can just do 'dark souls run past the enemies' in most cases. I like this game for the atmosphere and story mostly.
I wasn't a big fan of the old RE games (could never get used to fixed cameras), but Signalis works for me. Still haven't finished it, free time seems precious commodity these days, but come the next weekend I'll hopefully definitely will have the time to continue the game.
Signalis (on Switch)
The music, the sounds, the visuals create a perfect mood. I’m not far into the story, but for now it’s very intriguing. One of the few games where I don’t mind the backtracking. Despite the retro look, the game is very immersive.
There is some clunkiness tho. Might be better on a PC.
If you like sci-fi with a bit horror, ambiguous storytelling, gloomy atmosphere, try it.
Started reading few hours ago. Still in a room ~~without a view~~ with 2 robotic arms. That's my weekend I guess.
But you did choose those leaders, by accepting the two party system and always voting for the lesser evil. The phenomenon of ‘the lesser evil’ isn’t born out of necessity, it is manufactured, so the people who have money can earn even more wealth and power every 4 years by giving you their option for leadership.
I like the idea of the guillotine, but those blades have never been sharpened in the US… you always liked your less evil leaders.
Dark/Demon Souls. Elden Ring
Rolling to evade incoming enemy attack.
Always thought it being a strange way to do this. Bloodborne and Sekiro dodges seem more realistic.
